I think there is a basic metaphysical process going on, that knowledge is inherently centripetal. That what is signal to us is what synchronizes with our prior models of reality. Then that we bond with those on similar wavelengths and the feedback magnifies our sense of being on the right track.

Yet there is not one all encompassing system, because all those feedback loops create increasing complexity and specialization.

What is universal is the elemental, not the ideal. Yet we need those ideals as a center of gravity, the grain of sand at the center of the pearl, the eye of the storm, the black hole at the center of the galaxy, the creed and heroes around which a culture and society forms and gravitates.

Science looks to the elements, while art looks to the ideals.

What we are running up against now, is that with monotheism, Western culture is based on the belief of some all encompassing ideal that is absolute.

Logically though, a spiritual absolute would be the essence of sentience, from which we rise, not an ideal of wisdom and judgement, from which we fell. More the light shining through and animating the film, than the narratives played out on it.

To culture, good and bad are some cosmic conflict between the forces of righteousness and evil, while in nature, it's the basic biological binary of beneficial and detrimental, the 1/0 of sentience.

So our culture are like stories we tell children to get them to behave, while nature is some ginormous super computer, that keeps coming up with answers we don't want to hear.

So everyone runs down their various rabbit holes, with heir hands over their ears.

The opposite of the synchronization of the organism/organization, is the harmonization of the ecosystem/network. That energy is radiated back out, both by the coalescing system and when it grows old and breaks down, so it's waves and storms across infinity.

More yin and yang, than God Almighty.
