I am awake but I am not going to convert to a religion that I only sense as empty and void. There is nothing there but darkness and chains for me. Why can I not believe what I believe and have a different take on Cooper's info? What if Cooper was wrong about the source of the dark powers ruling the Earth? You do realize that there is duality in almost every religion? My interpretation would imply that TPTB are in fact influence by Surtr, the destroyer of this world, and the bringer of Ragnarok, the End Times. He has an entire army and I would not put it past such entities to have supernatural power. There is a whole host of culprits in the old folklore that could be doing these things. I feel that Cooper made an assumption, the assumption that TPTB are worshiping the darker duality of Christianity. That looks like straw grasping to you but I go with what my soul tells me. If I have to force myself to believe something, how can it be true?
