I've always struggled with spirituality
I think the bigger thing I was talking about was questioning the narratives assumed a solid facts by society.
I really get this though - that's sort of why I lead with the "Creative Nothing", because it's essentially the same thing, but not "Spiritual".
I've basically been learning about spiritual things to link them back to the mundane realities that were likely the original basis.
Most spiritual things seem to be rooted in breaking down your thoughts and questioning them in order to overcome ideology, trauma, etc.
The techniques they teach still work if you don't believe in the fancy back story.
I bet that's literally what they were, teaching aids that people started taking literally.
What this all has to do with Anti-Civ? Well mostly I guess in the consolidation of power through authority over idols and storytelling.
