We are taught to look for heroes, for saviours, for external help. That is a big part of the problem. We end up projecting our need for change into a need for others to change, before we can change.

As is the notion that it used very similar iconography and conceptualisations, which started quite vague and simplistic, but developed in complexity over time, and existed from the Palaeolithic to at least the end of the Bronze Age. This came to be replaced, often by force, by a patriarchal focussed cult which has resulted in most of the worlds religions we see today.
