My observation remains the basic fallacy of monotheism is that ideals are not absolutes.
Truth, beauty, platonic forms are ideals. The core codes, creeds, heroes, narratives at the core of every society are ideals and necessary, as without that center, it goes Tower of Babel. Yet the basic energy of society is always radiating out. Energies of youth, lessons of age. Liberal, conservative. Anarchies of desire, versus tyrannies of judgement.
Much as with a galaxy, the energy radiates out, as the structure coalesces in.
Yet the universal is the elemental, so a spiritual absolute would be whatever is that raw essence of sentience, which congeals as our sense of self. All the pinging emotions rattling about, of which the intellect is the point of focus, the referee of the emotions.
The light shining through the film, one frame to the next, past to future, rather than the frames flashing by, future to past.
Our current reductionist belief system seeks to explain this sentience as a function of information processing. That artificial intelligence might become sentient, rather than that information processing is simply a survival technique by fauna, in order to navigate, multiplied by sapiens.
If we are going to seriously question belief systems, why not the current cosmology, postulating the universe is expanding from a point for 13.8 billion years? Yet by the very theory at its foundation, if space were to expand, the speed of light would have to increase proportionally, in order to remain CONSTANT!!!!
Though this "theory" presumes to extract two metrics of space from the speed and spectrum of the same light.
It has also required enormous patches to overcome the various conflicting observations.
What if your accountant could just write in a figure and call it Dark Money, whenever he came across a gap in the books?
The theory cannot be falsified, only patched. So it's not as though the standards set by science are not also fairly crude herding behavior.
Once that core belief is set, there can be no vacillation.
