Physical and Spiritual

I was thinking the other day how every religious idea, except maybe a few lines in the Baghivat Gita, reinterpreted through a modern lens is kinda wrong.
In Han culture you start off as human and then you can become a god through people worshiping you or whatever. In fact, the Moon lady, who is kind of a Moon Goddess has a rather unspiritual and disappointing story. In fact most Gods in most holidays kind of fall flat in their story when you compare it with the wonder of science.
But even though Science can be mysterious on certain levels, the eclipse and how you feel during say the blood moon eclipse or just when the moon is bright, might feel more powerful and emotionally visceral than the explanation of two balls of rock passing  each other as they go around a ball that gives off light.

We don't know what God or gods really are or if they exist. But we do know that the God and gods were associated with celestial bodies. The Moon. The Stars.

And there is this idea (and you still see this in films) that if you were good or powerful enough you join this celestial pantheon in the sky and that type of existence is a better place or more special, or more pleasurable. That existence is heaven.

Even in Buddhism and Hinduism life is Samsara, some sort of punishment, and enlightenment is the exceptional state, outside of this cycle of life and death.

But the thing is, in the beginning (or closer to the beginning than now, anyway a long time ago) there was just Hydrogen and Helium. Not only was there not life. There were the elements that life (our life) is made of. So in the beginning everything is just a celestial being. In other words. Everything was heavenly and god like from our old perspective. And then all this stuff like Star formation and Supernovas and then the complicated way earth formed with Jupiter near it to draw away the falling rocks that could destroy life and all that had to happen to have Our life. So actually our notions are backwards. We are all gods and then we strive to be life. Not just human, but even worm existence is what is exceptional and amazing. And then when we go back to being not life, basically immortal we don't know if our spirit necessarily lives on. But the atoms and what makes up those atoms do not go away. They just change. So it is our physical beings that actually do not fade. Our spiritual beings (which we don't know much about or if it even exists) are definitely somehow missing. I mean You cannot dream when you're body has ceased to function.

Even in the most New Age modern type spirituality, we seem to have it backward.
