"Human beings craft representations of their Gods based on the technological paradigms of their era. Over time, our Gods have evolved from primal personifications of nature; into clans of tribal warriors and elders; into a single wizened old sorcerer; into a clever cosmic clockmaker; and most recently, into a plastic universal field of morphic energy. Could it be that all of these characterizations are correct, and that the lens of our technology only makes the nature of God clearer through time? If so, what's next?"

James L. Kent knows his shit. read his super interesting book on the science of tripping, Psychedelic Information Theory: Shamanism in the Age of Reason.

"The intent of old mythologies to integrate the individual into his group, to imprint on his mind the ideals of that group, to fashion him

according to one or another orthodox stereotype, and to convert him thus into an absolutely dependable cliché, has become assumed in the modern world by an increasingly officious array of ostensibly permissive, but actually coercive, demythologized secular institutions. A new anxiety in relation to this development is now becoming evident, however, for with this increase, on one hand, of our efficiencies in mass indoctrination and, on the other, of our uniquely modern Occidental interest in the fostering of authentic individuals, there is dawning upon many a new and painful realization of the depth to which the imprints, stereotypes, and archetypes of the social sphere determined our personal sentiments, deeds, thoughts, and even capacities for experience."
