Remember the basis of these conventions go back millennia. While that is really long in terms of human history, in terms of evolution, it's an eye blink.
Monotheism doesn't distinguish between the ideal and the absolute.
Society hasn't gronked the fact that government functions as a social central nervous system, while money and finance are effectively analogous to blood and the circulation system. Which goes back to the dichotomy of energy driving and form defining.
Look how much we focus on presidents as the embodiment of the society, the executive function, like consciousness, while the banks have everyone by the balls.
We are like single celled organisms instinctively acting like multicelled organisms.
Now that these structures are breaking down, because the myths and models we use to explain them are breaking down. So it would be a good time to step back and look at the dynamics creating them in the first place.
As these mobile organisms, we do experience reality as a sequence of perceptions, so we think of the flow of time as foundational, but consider that yesterday doesn't cause today. The sun shining on a spinning planet creates these cycles of days and nights. But our process of perception is similar to the sequence of days. Simply flashes of perception extracted from the torrents of information pouring in from all directions. Then we contruct these narratives and theories to try and explain what is going on, but often they are as logical as Apollo's chariot explaing the sun. Simply anthropomorphic projections of the stuff we tell each other.
Consider how little information our minds extract from the light, yet look at what the light can actually transmit, through these wireless devices. Then consider how much we instinctively react to our envionment on a constant basis, such as if we are subconsciously receiving lots more information than we are consciously processing.
Do you ever experience "floaters?" Those spots in the middle distance of the vision, that seem to have a life of their own, when you don't concentrate on them directly? Might they be others consciousness, intersecting your own?
The stray thoughts you might have around other people, as if you were sensing their thoughts? The brief sense of being another person, as if you momentarily looked out from their point of view? Science doesn't look for these impulses and instincts, because they can't be replicated. Like peripheral vision, they hide when you look for them.
then how the Ancients might have interpreted these effects, as though people were all part of some larger life, thus gods as expressions of this sense.
