I am brand new to this forum, but when I starting reading this thread, I spent almost an hour and read the WHOLE thing because this was so interesting/hilarious/sad. So I decided I really need to reply.
I have come to understand there are two possibilities concerning Lyndale. The first is that he has planned and orchestrated this whole hoax on us, using clever psychological tactics to numb us, or make us think he REALLY believes in this. If that is what he is doing, then I'll hand it to him, because he has done very well.
The other possibility is more likely. He suffers from many different psychological conditions that have rendered his ability to rationalize and focus on reality to be useless. Probably the core of all of this comes from a severe case of paranoia. What worsens this effect is a severe case of denial, which makes it almost impossible to overcome his paranoia. He sees US as being the ones that are in denial, that we are the ones closed off from reality, a reality only HE has come to realize. Unless he happens to admit himself to an institution or an acclaimed psychiatrist, there is nothing on his own (or that we can do) to make him overcome his barriers to reality. His imagination is what reigns free in his mind, and with the combination of that and paranoia, that basically is what has concocted the things he sees.
Lyndale, one of the first things we usually find in patterns are faces, whether they be of humans or otherwise. That is the way the brain works. I used to sit in my living room and look at the carpet, and by staring long enough, I could find several faces which had very detailed facial features. Were they "the fallen"? No, because I could scruff my foot over the carpet, erasing any trace of the prior "being". When you are looking at your pictures, concentrate and try to find a different object. For instance, a tree, or a hat, etc. I guarantee you'll find dozens of those as well. And I sincerely doubt they will be the ghosts of decapitated trees from the past, coming to exact their revenge. I even notice plenty of these objects in your pictures; I can basically find any object in the image noise if it's what my mind is looking for.
So Lyndale, why don't you try to look at things from a balanced perspective? You've only looked for reasons why what you believe is real, and completely dismiss any of the more logical reasons offered. When taking any of your reasons into consideration, I did not find any merit to any of those reasons. You simply portray all of the typical symptoms of a delusional paranoid person (not to be taken as an insult). And also, I honestly don't believe that YOU believe you'd get anywhere in court against Randi with you picture demon claim, because no court would even give a second look at your claim. That is just the way the legal system works, whether you try to make a lawsuit or not.
If you are simply trying to manipulate us with a largely orchestrated joke, just go ahead and come clean, and everyone will feel like morons for replying to this thread so many times. Or if you are dead serious, do something for yourself. Even if the picture demons are real, it has nothing to do with you, and you can live life just like the rest of us, perfectly oblivious to the legions of fallen demons that appear only in digital images. Thanks for taking time to read this Lyndale, I only hope the best for you.
