This was a delightful read. Looking forward to more. My beef with Gnosticism is the fundamental belief that the world is evil. I’ve experienced too much good to believe that. But I’m no theologian, perhaps I’ve got it wrong.

Neat bit of reciprocity from Esther / higher beings for giving away Black Ribbon. I'm deeply pleased for you! Life's a rum do...

Ah! Yes, hadn’t thought of that. A nice tickle from the hidden guiding hands. 🥃

New book sounds boss! I don't know much about Gnosticism (feels to me like the Demiurge has been overplayed) nor about UFOs, but I _do_ need more poetic detective books in my life.

What's really intriguing me though is Esther's tagline. "Rum for people who think they don’t like rum" is something I totally get, having drunk rum for decades without ever really liking it. Recently though I've discovered that I LOVE rum. Loving booze takes time, rum more than most. I trust that Esther is also rum for people who now know they don’t not like rum.

BTW there is a great piece of UFO re-contextualisation (relating specifically to the Scoriton Affair) within the performance version of Crab & Bee's Matter of Britain. The truth is in here!
