O-or maybe he BROUGHT IT INTO BEING, like von Göll and that Schwarzkommando!
M-maybe it is his mission "to sow in the Zone seeds of reality" (GR, 388).
Remember how those 'stamps' are described in Lot 49: "thousands of little
colored windows into deep vistas of space and time" (Lot 49, 45). Does that
just sound like innocent stamps to y'all? Surely it is no coincidence that 
another term for LSD is "windowpanes" - eh?
