The problem with monism is one is the node, while oneness is the network.

There is a dichotomy between the synchronization pulling structure together, be it physical or conceptual and the underlaying energy harmonizing across all structures.

Like galaxies. The structure coalesces in, as the energy radiates out.

As these mobile organisms, this sentient interface our body has with its situation functions as a sequence of perceptions, in order to navigate, so our experience of time is as the point of the present moving past to future. It is the basis of culture and civilization, as narrative. Physics codifies it as measures of duration.

The evident reality though, is that activity and the resulting change turns future to past. Tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns. Duration is the present, as the events come and go.

It's like seeing the cosmos turning east to west, when the reality is the earth spinning west to east.

There is no dimension of time, because the past is consumed by the present, to inform and drive it. Causality and conservation of energy. Cause becomes effect. It's like a tapestry being woven of strands being pulled from what was woven.

Energy is "conserved," because it manifests this presence, creating time, temperature, pressure, color and sound. Frequencies and amplitudes, rates and degrees.

The energy goes past to future, because the patterns generated come and go, future to past. Energy drives the wave, the fluctuations rise and fall. No tiny strings necessary.

Consciousness also goes past to future, while the perceptions, emotions and thoughts giving it form and structure go future to past.

Suggesting consciousness expresses as a form of energy. Though it is the digestive system processing the energy, feeding the flame, while the nervous system sorts through the information and the circulation system is feedback in the middle.

The logical flaw in monotheism is that ideals are not absolutes. Truth, beauty, platonic forms are ideals.

The creeds, codes, heroes, narratives at the gravitational center of any culture are ideals, but not absolutes. Though without this core, the culture will break apart and dissolve. Tower of Babel.

Morality is not an absolute, because if it were, it could not be transgressed, like a temperature below absolute zero.

Morality is the ideals, the codes and creeds that sustain a healthy society. Such as collective responsibility, with rights as reward.

When rights are ordained and responsibility is optional, everyone grabs their slice and runs. Tower of Babel.

The problem with making an Almighty God the moral policeman, was that as fear of God faded, it was the Will to Power that rose to fill the void. Might is right.

Now we are to the point that the community tokens of exchange, the money, are the only locus of the culture. The medium has become the message.

Given the only way to store the asset side of the ledger, is a debt to back it, we have this economic Ebola virus, as all value dissolves into its base monetary value, either as debt to back the illusion of wealth, or those piles of tokens the powerful feel the need to accumulate.

It's not just spiritual, it's simple, basic logic, that is lost.
