The logical flaw in monotheism is that ideals are not absolutes.

Truth, beauty, platonic forms are ideals.

Rodin's The Thinker is an ideal.

The core codes, creeds, heroes, narratives at the gravitational center of every culture and society are ideals. Without which, they would break apart and be scattered to the winds. Tower of Babel.

The universal, on the other hand, is the elemental. A spiritual absolute would be the essence of sentience, from which we rise, not an ideal of wisdom and judgement, from which we fell.

The light shining through and animating the film, not the stories playing out on it.

Morality is not absolute, because it couldn't be transgressed, if it were. Like a temperature below absolute zero.

Morals are the ideals, the codes, behaviors, instincts that create a healthy society.

Such as one's value and status a function of how much one adds, not how much one extracts.

To the Ancients, gods were ideals, metaphors, memes, etc. The building blocks of thought and communication. Part of the evolution of human thinking. In this world, monotheism equated with a monoculture. One people, one rule, one god. Politically it expressed as monarchy. The Big Guy Rules. Like the religion. Ancient Israel was a monarchy.

Democracy and republicanism originated in pantheistic cultures. The many ideals and ideas interacting. The origins of the Trinity were fertility rites. The young god, born in the spring, to the old sky god and the earth mother. Though by the age of the Olympians, Zeus didn't give way to Dionysus. Tradition prevailed over renewal. Like the old are loathe to give way to the young. Which was why the story of Jesus' resurrection had such fertile ground to take root.

Though by the time Constantine adopted it as the Roman state religion, it to had started to calcify, so the monotheism served to validate the Empire finally coalescing out of the ruins of the Republic.

While the origins of the Trinity were obscured by the Holy Ghost, as the Catholic Church didn't go far renewal, or women.

The Catholic Church thus served as the eschatological basis for European monarchy. Divine right of kings. As opposed to consent of the governed.

When the West went back to democracy and republicanism, it required separation of church and state, culture and civics.

So now every cult and fad has to proclaim their ideals as universal and beyond question. Rather than particular ideals that might draw a certain number of people together.

The reality is nodes and networks.

One is the node, oneness is the network. "Entangled particles."

Synchronization is the essence of the node, harmonization is the essence of the network, with resonance as feedback in the middle.

The music is more real than the matter.
