I think, religion may be a framework for the psyche of the external world, as psychology is the framework for the psyche of the internal world.

Ultimately therefore, since outside and inside are concepts religion is a framework to understand both the internal and the external psyche.

What we call angels and demons are positive and negative impulses. If understood like this, the universe itself has positive and negative impulses.

It stands to reason, given the theory that the individual is a microcosm of the macrocosm.

This also means that one can apply psychology in trying to understand the universal mind, rather than religion. It means that one understands the totality of the universal mind by understanding oneself.

When I struggle with dark impulses like greed, anger or desire, is it any different from the universe struggling with them?

When I better understand myself, the universe better understands itself. If I find peace with myself, does not the universe also find such peace?

This leaves me with a profound realization. My life, my struggles, my existential questions are of cosmic importance. This gives meaning to every little thing that ever happened to me.

But is it worth posting about? I mean, none of the thoughts I have are truly new. I sometimes wonder about that, it seems to me that the rarest thing in the universe is an original thought.

The potential for every thought, already exist.

So are there any truly new ones?

I don't think so honestly.
