Nino,

Thanks for the response.

Yet is unity a unit? A node, or is it just networked?

It would seem to me we fluctuate between the absolute and the infinite and when we try formulating it as singular, rather than connected, everything tends to gravitate inwards, toward the absolute. Which in social terms, tends toward a more unyielding authoritarianism. Looking at those communities most focused on a unitary, top down spiritual authority, they tend to trim away anything that doesn't point inward, such that everyone is clothed in similar shades of black and the priests/rabbis/mullahs rule.

Pantheism isn't polytheism. Pantheism is that there are many aspects of some otherwise ineffable spirit, while monotheism is that it is distinctly and totally singular.

One of the more interesting books I've read is Gilbert Murray's; The Five Stages of Greek Religion. One of the many points he made is how the Holy Trinity originally came from the Greek year gods, as an analogy of regeneration. Spirit father, earth mother and the son inbetween. Dying and being reborn.

It's online;

Before reading this more historically logical evolution, I tended to see it as absolute/extant/infinite. Or more an analogy of time itself. Past, present, future.

Without this essential recycling, inertia and stagnation does set in. Consider that Martin Luther basically tried to do to Catholicism what Jesus had tried to do to Judaism. Push the reset button.

Setting up that inevitable conflict between the old and the new. That is politically expressed as conservatism versus liberalism. The old order versus those pushing at its boundaries.

The anarchies of desire versus the tyrannies of judgement.

Energy pushing out, as order coalesces in. Like galaxies.
