Abstract

This document proposes a reinterpretation of the origins and functions of religion.
The central claim is:

Religions were not originally created for control, but as warning systems designed to prevent civilizational collapse caused by dualistic thinking.

However, throughout history, these warning systems were misread
—or intentionally suppressed—
resulting in the reinforcement of the very destructive structures they warned against.

This hypothesis offers a unified explanation for:
• repeating cycles of civilizational collapse
• global patterns across mythologies and scriptures
• the persistent inability of societies to escape violent dualism

The purpose of this document is not theological criticism,
but a model for understanding how human civilizations fail
and how they can recover.

1. Background

Modern discourse treats religion mainly as:
• irrational belief
• moral discipline
• social control
• cultural identity

This conventional view ignores structural similarities across civilizations.
Independent cultures produced myths containing equivalent elements:
• forbidden knowledge
• original sin / spiritual burden
• end-time destruction
• divine judgment
• rebirth cycles
• catastrophic floods

The probability of such recurrence as coincidence is low.
A structural hypothesis is more reasonable.

2. Hypothesis: Religion as an Anti-Collapse Warning System

We hypothesize that mythic narratives encode:

“Dualistic cognition will eventually destabilize civilization.”

Key mapping:

Myth Component Interpreted Function
Forbidden Fruit emergence of dualistic cognition
Original Sin separation consciousness
Exile / Fall breakdown of harmony/coexistence
Armageddon / Ragnarok terminal state of system collapse

Thus these texts do not predict destruction,
but describe collapse conditions.

3. What Went Wrong

If religions encode warnings,
why did civilizations continue collapsing?

Because dualism, once emerged, provides advantages for power systems:
• hierarchy enforcement
• fear-based compliance
• resource control
• salvation-dependency models
• justification for violence

Therefore:

Civilization misread — or intentionally suppressed — the original meaning
because dualism sustains power structures.

Thus religion was progressively reinterpreted
to legitimize authority rather than prevent collapse.

4. Dualism as Civilization-Level Exploit

The real issue is not religion, but dualistic OS:
• good/evil
• saved/damned
• chosen/others
• authority/subjects

Dualism drives competition, warfare, resource exhaustion, and ecological destruction.

Historical collapses—from Mesopotamia to Rome—
follow this same trajectory.

5. Purpose of “Recovery”

This paper proposes not the destruction of religion,
but a recovery of its original purpose:

Remove dualism as a systemic assumption.

This framework enables:
• new ethical structures based on coexistence rather than victory
• resource-balanced social systems
• non-zero-sum value frameworks
• ecological alignment

This aligns with Master’s broader civilizational OS model
(e.g., Law of Nature, Circulation, Harmony, etc.).

6. Conclusion

If religions were initially created
to encode systemic warnings about dualism,

and civilizations repeatedly collapsed because those warnings were ignored,

then humanity today faces the same collapse condition.

Recovering the intended meaning is not metaphysical speculation.
It becomes a civilizational survival task.
