It would appear that a surviving model of this practice is in modern India however at the time was alive in modern Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Hindi temples often will have vault of sorts. These vaults will be used for a collection for things like feeding the poor they give loans to a families entrepreneur. The will also collect for community actions. This model seems to mirror the early Jewish traditions around usury and banking. Also if they were traveling as traders they would have been exposed to idea of deposits. Networks of temples were often also used in an ancient ledger system via the silk road. One would avoid carrying coins with you to get robbed by depositing and later withdrawing said coins. Networks formed so these transactions wouldnât necessarily happen in the same location, much like modern banking.
An observation I would like to make is that like financial industry in general can be too successful. What tends to happen like in India is the money taken in can never really be distributed effectively and ends up being horded. While this creates scarcity of the currency and can be considered necessary, this hording can easily slip into a systemic incompetence and malice in my opinion. These observations could likely be applied to Samaria as well.
The nature of gods.
My intention is to show in the final form that worship has social importance to the community, and limited personal importance. The limitation of your faith in part its ability to work is similar to a placebo effect.
There seems to be hidden civilizations (orders) among the historic record, they may still exist, and if so they cannot reveal themselves ethically. There also seems to be a product of the minimum a multi-diaspora evolution of our species after a post diluvial catastrophe. It is likely these events were separated by around 14,000- 40,000 years.
If you have a insight, please feel free to mention it. I am not the expert I am just attempting to balance expertise among disciplines.
Archetypical Philosophy:
When you begin this path you may believe this means to walk a balance between light and dark.
Many realize this path is a metaphor used to interoperate perception and a framing of consciousness.
You awaken when you realize that both life and death are very similar to sleeping and conscious engagement. This leads you to realize dreaming is a skill in both states of sleeping and consciousness. This then this allows you to discover that you can gain a new dimension of consciousness when you are able to unify the two. This is done in many manuals in both myths, philosophy cannon, and religions. Shamans, and witch doctors also found this truth through a sort of intuitive cultivation of intuition. Additional myths regarding gods, and the underworld also codify this perspective in text.
