Imagine the sacred was the name of a domain that was a parallel dimension – a slight dimensional shift over, superimposed on us but just out of sight.
In this simultaneous but unseen realm are all of the places where this “natural good” in people draws them towards naturally better outcomes; a parallel realm where “the greater good” acts as a backdrop. Similar or perhaps overlapping with the notion of collective unconsciousness, was a realm where all of this “ideas” lived and were actively participating in this material reality; as they would be an unseen part of this material reality.
In that view, we may already call upon sacred realities but giving them more palatable names such as “human nature” and such, the place of “it is what it is”.
