It is unfortunate that most people rely on religious metaphysical explanations for human nature, often using Biblical accounts that deny evolution and distort human reason. Only a few take a pragmatic approach to understanding the unknowable.
What many people call good and evil is viewed through a spiritual lens, masking their true nature. These terms represent individual perspectives on suffering, viewed from each of the two sides of a competition. Blaming the Devil or praising God's blessings denies personal responsibility and provides an excuse for inaction. Few acknowledge that what is evil to one may be satisfaction to another, as seen in war, where one side is deemed good and the other evil. Belief in spiritual forces of Good and Evil is harmful because it excuses human responsibility and avoids the necessary effort to address human flaws.
Further consider the concept of "GOD IN HEAVEN," as a flaw that has cursed us, as it separates God from us.
The adage "as above, so below" embodies the idea that what occurs in the higher realms is reflective of the events and occurrences in the lower realms. This notion finds expression in various religious beliefs that seek answers to our human condition by looking to the heavens through mystic visions. Astrology is one such example of this concept, as it connects human motivations to the astral positions of planets. In ancient times, Gods and Archons were believed to be planetary causes for wars, harvest, love, and any human attribute one could imagine.
If we were to transport ourselves back in time, say, twenty thousand years ago, we would have understood human motivations as being influenced by animal spirit deities. However, ten thousand years ago we began to notice the planets and stars, and our definition of the unknown began to shift relative to that stage of our cultural evolution. Indeed, our understanding of the cosmos has been a continuous, evolutionary process that has been shaped by cultural and scientific advancements, as well as the philosophical underpinnings of the societies in which they developed.
The search for the eternal has historically been directed skyward, toward the heavens, in hopes of grasping the metaphysical and incomprehensible. However, the immensity of our reality demands a view not only from a bottom-up perspective, but from the self inwardly, into its biological and quantum underpinnings. Our "will," or motivations are firmly rooted and shaped by our biophysical composition, engaged in a perpetual struggle with the entropic current of the universe. Entropy serves as the impetus and basis for our motivations within the evolutionary framework of space-time, with the quantum field effects responsible for reality as we know it.
Therefore, it seems plausible that the essence of eternity or deity may lie within ourselves, rather than the heavens above.
Undoubtedly, modern advancements in cosmology and biology have provided us with greater insight into the intricacies of the universe and human behavior. Our understanding has shifted away from attributing the influence on humankind to Gods, spirits in heavenly bodies, or Archons of the Pleroma. However, regrettably, these more substantiated perspectives have yet to be fully explained to, or widely embraced by the general public.
One may posit that "as below is above," for the forces that govern life on Earth are rooted in biology, which over time has evolved and expanded to encompass the planet and beyond. Indeed, the natural progression of life leads us to contemplate a future in which we may become one with the universe itself. As the evolutionary trajectory of life continues, it is not difficult to imagine that humanity may eventually bridge the gap between the terrestrial and the celestial, perhaps transcending the physical confines of our world, shooting into the very stars we once thought were Gods, and becoming a part of the eternal cosmic tapestry.
