Love this thread and so happy I found it. Been watching Q since the beginning, but my biggest gripe has been the lack of discussion on the esoteric elements that clearly walk beside us and rule us from the shadows.
Couple of interesting things hopefully that connect some dots (as Jesus said in the gospel of Thomas…
The angels and the prophets will come to you and give to you those things you (already) have. And you too, give them those things which you have, and say to yourselves, 'When will they come and take what is theirs?

I see that as what we're each doing for one another. Which leads me to my question - have ya'll read the nag hammadi scriptures, in particular the gospel of thomas?
In studying it other the last couple of years, and combining other ideas I see much of it as very metaphorical. I don't see gods as Gods - simply some kind of metaphysical link/pull that we have on one another. If we unite under a single God, perhaps we have more (meme) magic than we realize. That's not to say there isn't a real SINGLE GOD, but I think what we're all talking about here is at a level underneath that. In fact, I wonder if Yeshua knew this, and knew that to create a symbol of him would allow him to continue to "live" forever. IE through our ongoing thoughts/actions under his guidance it manifests him on some plane (perhaps literally - perhaps, as I have heard, there's a Christ around right now…).
Some other stuff. Do you all read Miles Mathis' work? I have reason to believe MM is a master mason, but it doesn't mean he doesn't drop some real hints from time to time (perhaps being a project on organic growth online) - he has a recent paper that details out both symbolism as it relates to this cult (flies and bees) as well as papers on the lion symbolism and how it's conquered others over time…

in fact that leads me to another interpretation of the gospel of thomas:
In it Jesus talks blessed is the lion that is eaten by man for he becomes man. And what a terrible thing when a man is eaten by a lion.
I've read some critiques that perhaps it's a metaphor for the base desires of men. Blessed is he who overcomes his base desires (which seems to fit with other messages in the gospel including self-reflection), but he who is overcome (eaten) by those same desires, is cursed. Perhaps the metaphor fits at an additional symbolic level - blessed are we who overcome (eat) the lion (this cult) and blessed are those lions that join/are eaten by us. And cursed are the men that chose to be eaten by the lion (those that aren't seeing throught this madness).
