this implies that identities for the most part have cultish elements because identities are held and maintained bc they are believed to be unassailably GOOD (but perhaps misunderstood, fallible, and under appreciated)

so if the core of good/bad is knocked out through a combination of "abandon all hope" "amoral middle path" and "universal oneness that bundles together hitler and jesus" then the identity also loses its internal energy source and dissolves

so the desire to be "good" and the joining of large movements that "do good" paves the road to hell w/ good intentions precisely because it powers self-serving identities and narratives that attempt to self-tesselate and remake God's world in their own image

this is similar to the toddler who sees another stealing a toy and gets angry and smacks in retaliation. the parent has to intervene by acknowledging the REAL perceived injustice but then dissolve it by expanding the toddler's mental model to include Other

when the hooman child does not actually receive this kind of patient understanding love, the mental model of the world remains fractured and broken even into adulthood it is forever trying to CREATE love and ends up either w reanimated corpses or frankenstein monsters

the toddler no longer has a touchstone to Source and so cannot truly integrate Other everyone is seen as just more meat to assimilate into a world view. "if ONLY you could see from MY pov then you'd realize how BAD the world is and why we have to make it BETTER."
