There's not much to say so I will try to keep this short: I think it's a shame that your understanding of Metaphysics has been tainted to such a degree that you find it necessary to denounce it - it's reminiscent of the effects religious zealots have upon atheists and agnostics.
I haven't denounced metaphysics. I just think your definition of Alchemy — the transformation of the soul from lead to gold — is a poor and uninspired idea. And I don't think it's the ultimate thing people are battling for. You can have metaphysics, and please
do start a blog about it. CluesForum is just not the place to start a debate about the ultimate idea. If you were to start a thread about "the truth of Masonic" or "the truth of Gnostic" beliefs and went into the ways those ideas can and have been corrupted, that would be one thing. But asking everyone to accept a metaphysical description as holding objective significance to fakery, without offering proof and saying we've already provided it, is a bit much for an agnostic forum like ours.
My thread was inevitably locked for no other reason than because you disliked my explanation of Alchemy, despite the very fact that my thread had close to nothing to do with Alchemy.
I agree with the first part but not the second. If you say it had close to nothing to do with Alchemy, then we had a severe misunderstanding, because to me you clearly said Alchemy and Tradition were the two prime ideas that the forces of good and bad were fighting over. This to me represented your metaphysical belief that Alchemy is connected to the soul, something that is akin to asking people to accept Jesus is the son of God or something. I just don't accept that is one of two prime belief systems for the most relevant good and bad forces (within the study of TV fakery) to be fighting. Why not God versus Satan, or attachment versus detachment, or Batman vs. Superman? I am not saying unicorns and pink elephants; I am genuinely asking where it ends.
Lord Steven Christ is pretty far out, but he has his own service to deliver his stuff. He doesn't use CluesForum as a platform for his beliefs. I think you might be trying to accuse people here of expressing too much personal belief here and there, and that may be true. But that doesn't mean you doing more of it will fix the issue.
To be as short and brief as you were with us, you are more than welcome to help us uncover methods of deception. But as for proving how or why or
why how or why, it's not fair of you to ask everyone to accept your unproven assumptions as some shared basis or shared motivation for why each of us has chosen each of our own personal reasons for being on this forum.
