or maybe the myths were saying the exact same thing if properly

so if the myths are still around, they must also be working, by
your logic, or so it would appear. have i covered all the

`We come now to the idea of the Gaeia Universe, where the whole of the
Universe would be a single living entity of which all mankind is barely an
organelle. But unlike the organisms of Earth, the elements of the Universe,
energy and matter, are not connected by the bloody and battering
interaction of consumption that we experience on Earth, but by the same
forces of physics and mechanics which govern the aforementioned
astronomical principles. The concept of pantheism proposes an additional
connection, one of an overarching divine presence. In this divinity, mind
and matter are one, and all things in the Universe are evenly connected''
