Logically a spiritual absolute would be the essence of sentience from which we rise, not an ideal of wisdom and judgement, from which we fell. That we are aware, than the details of which we are aware.

Confusing the absolute, which is elemental, being one state, with the ideal, which is aspirational and formed from experience and desire, is a potent concoction, as many people come to see their desires as universal and inalienable, rather than unique expressions of place and circumstance.

Nature evolves upward, but we can only model it downward. We see the skeleton as the core, not the egg.
