Well dearest sister in Christ, thank you for seeing it as I do. On the other hand, I strongly suspect that Hank would regard my statement as totally silly.
Still, there is a further point buried there, from the Greeks. Plato had a word for what happens to human reason when it is "unplugged" from its source, divine Nous. Unsurprisingly, the term is anoia — literally, "no mind." Which eventually propagates as a pneumopathological disorder, or spiritual disease, which he called nosos.
Suffice it to say that nowhere do we find within the psychological/psychiatric canon of today any reference to "spiritual disease" in general, let alone to anoia in particular. The very idea of "spirit," or "soul" seems to have been abolished from the practice of professionals whose sole raison d'etre is to make us "mentally well." Which is particularly noteworthy in light of the fact that the very name of their profession comes from the Greek word psyche — meaning: breath (spirit), and soul.
And yet, not only humankind, but the entire Creation itself is "groaning" under the travails of this non-existent disease.
May God have mercy!
It is fascinating how so many draw boundaries, e.g. the Newtonian paradigm, and play within those boundaries as if nothing else exists. I suspect it may be a symptom of the disease you name when they actually believe that there is nothing beyond the walls they built themselves.
Thank you so much for sharing your insights, dearest sister in Christ!
