A mystical counterpoint to the real lines of power

but I think there are problems in finding patterns of occult
resistance that mirror the shape of the thing being resisted, no?

I strongly agree....and not to digress into fuller new discussion of Mason & Dixon, in medias rea @ p651 but then again why not? this is the plist, the greatest self-organized digressive discussion going.

Being named in 1921 reminded me that it was another bit of wilful anachronism in Mason & Dixon then, yea, confused in my inevitable--some say
narrowing---judging within P's values on paper. Is this one way of suggesting how even an occult developmnet was caught in the power structure? Contaminated from its origins? 

In the depth of P's vision, perhaps it is searching for power (lines), grabbing for power, is the bad?
