A madman's task, this. An errand knight's endeavor, a sorcerer's conjuring of secrets from the depths of our memories ancient and sublime, stark and dark truths that do invert assumptions and paradigmatic presumptions presented by the Official discourse; upending religious predispositions and such spells spun to lull the minds of the people to sleep; disturbing those subtle taboos surreptitiously existing between the lines which somehow prevent us from seeing the obvious stories of history; challenging, in fact, assumptions of which end is up and which is down in terms of the common paradigms proffered, indeed calling into question those constructions which purport to tell which direction is to “heaven” and which to “hell.” This treatise is a task of telling long obscured stories of collusion and subtle twists if not inversions in the tales of world history, religion and mythology, where indeed true tellings of the politics and play of the Gods and stories of transcendent transformation, passion and compassion, ironies and subtleties often leave the truth sounding more like a puzzle or a riddle, a science fiction or fantasy rendering than what is supposed to be “real life,” the “truth of history,” the “truth of religion” or “the truth of God.”
