This is installment six of an ongoing engagement with Austin Osman Spare's enigmatic book the Logomachy of Zos. These explorations select quotations from the Logomachy, and often other texts by Spare, and either offer them alone for my readers to consider and hopefully share interpretations of, or hazard some thoughts on the topic of my own. Please feel free to join in. The Logomachy of Zos can be easily found online, or you can just use the texts I have provided as a starting point.

“Any fact or fiction has no difficulty in
finding relatables as supporting evidence because everything has a 'point of
connection' and a period of reality when instantly and simultaneous to time and
place. Our difficulty is to re-evoke 'as now': so we accept semblance of (i.e.
make-belief, religion or faith) as substitute of real belief (which needs no
other reality than its own): what you cannot conceive as yourself is yourself
(as another reality).”
