Key Notes
interpretation
The Thomas saying about making two one means divisions such as male/female or Chinese/American are false projections overcome through imagination and connection to the divine.
diagnosis
Jiang says the common Indian religious ideas of oneness and false reality must come from the IVC because those religions are localized to India and appeal to a fundamental Indian nostalgia.
model
Jiang argues that humans generally have nostalgia for oneness and false reality, and he identifies Plato's cave and the Second Coming as powerful Western expressions of those same desires.
model
Jiang says animism is the distant past behind this nostalgia: hunter-gatherers saw themselves as the same as trees and animals, part of Mother Nature and the life cycle, inhabiting both material and spiritual realities.
model
Jiang interprets divine worship in the pyramid as a reversal of the Big Bang: scattered reality is brought into one ritual space, producing oneness, wholeness, moral cleansing, and unity through Pharaoh faith.
