Why did the world convert from polytheisms to monotheism

Hard mode: Don't blame Islam
>>
The collective called for an accounting of spiritual beliefs and they started to converge rather than continue diverging.

It started to become obvious that some rituals and spirits were tied to the land itself and could be transmitted from believer to neophites. That sort of system is abhorrent to many human cultures since they demand a kind of dominance which leads to a pyramid-shaped hierarchy.

The war gods were the natural vehicle for this because war (theoretically) presages peace.

As the mystery schools took hold of the upper classes across all societies, the beliefs became structured and formalized as well. When someone went searching for secrets they found all the same confusing answers given by the same sort of perfumed seneschals who have been soothsaying in lavish temples for centuries. They claimed to know of the divine, which was paternalized (the Divine Parent), and so the ancient esoteric masters syncretized that concept inner alchemy; mythologized as a transformation from worthlessness to worthiness and coded as a direct message from the divine to the individuated souls.

Essentially, we formed polytheism naturally and it updated itself into monotheism while monks and scribes said it was God. Today we're at another boundary marker (Hermes) with a new age dawning (Jesus/Zagreus-Dionysus), and this all seems to be in-line with some prophecies about the cycles of civilization.

>an accounting of spiritual beliefs and they started to converge
I realized I didn't give a great explanation for this, but my theory amounts to ancient bovine worship being a stand-in for the understanding of proper nutrition. Men who ate lots of beef were probably better warriors in general, and a people who could digest cow's milk into adulthood were probably hardier during tough times.

The "accounting" would be the first scripture and religious texts which were deliberately made to help transmit the frequency.

Bull-worship (Thor-El/Taurus) etc would've started to elucidate that there was power in belief even if people lacked the capacity to understand its transmission or why it was effective in some times and places but not others.

The convergence would be first noticed by the syncretists (Greeks and Egyptians) who realized that "their" gods were just "better" versions of pastoral or wild gods. Meaning, they realized that their religious systems were in place to improve the human condition, and people who understand hierarchies and interdependent societies can conceptualize that if "we" are better than "them" then perhaps there is a "they" who are above "us".

And so, the world as it is.

My understanding is basically the same that capitalism always lead to monopoly.

Might makes right is a fundamental basis of reality, there is no rule of law if it is not able to be enforced. Enforcement requires might.

As such, when cultures conflict, a clear victor will emerge. Previously, via the kindness of the rulers, pantheon merged. Hermanubis, Serapis. Gods that represent values that are harmonious with each other becomes one. Eventually, it converge into one. Aten was an early one. The Zoroastrian did the same albeit more successfully than the Egyptians. All things yearn eternally to converge.

Then the slaves of Egypt rebelled, partly from this idea that only the Monotheistic God holds the only true absolute authority. That the ruling class aint shit. Then they dropped the ball with the whole mess with the Canaanite tribes.

For a time this idea of displacing authority with the Monotheistic God came up too much honestly. It's kind of really useful to undermine authority by placing an imperceptible infinitum above them. Hell, Plato got in on it!

But then the Romans figured out it IS useful and should get in on it too. So they psyoped the Monotheistic God for themselves, claiming exclusive monopoly over it. So instead of the Monotheistic God keeping on converging all pagan gods in other cultures into a unity, they clash like old time pagans. Cause you know... Mars is the Big Daddy, if everything converged peacefully, there aint gon be no wars, we cant have that! Romans fucked it up, what's new?

Now we regressed into pseudo-pagan world, except every religion claim exclusivity to the Monotheistic God. So no cool rituals or niche culture etc, but still war because this new pagan god called Money that the Western Hegemon converged with Christos.

4400 years ago jews had a problem.
Through the previous 800 years their slaves had twice escaped.. 400 years of captivity for one captured population resulted in the slaves deciding that they didn't need to continue to remain in slavery.. so they left.. but the jews chased them down and killed them. Everyone and everything.. punished them with extreme acts of violence and cruelty.
Then they captured another population and for the next 400 years they were contained and controlled.. but the captured people made the same observation.. they don't need to have owners.. they are capable of doing for themselves without being owned and controlled.. and there were of course abuses.. so they also escaped.. but with the same result.

So that was the problem.
Every jew was trying to find the solution.
For several decades the discussion continued.. but then one jew submitted the idea that would be embraced by the tribal leaders and then as a result embraced and acted upon by the entire tribe; they would begin to create religions for the populations that they are targeting to capture and enslave.
The religions needed to be nonfalsifiable with no physical sculpted god that could be destroyed.. the religions would need to be a mental trap.. a puzzle that the captive population could not use logic or reason to escape from.

Within 35 years of this decision being adopted as policy by the tribe the first appearance of the zoroastrian religion appears on the scene.

Christianity and mohammedianism were later the result of this decision.

They, the tribe, also were very involved in using the development of christianity in order to defeat the roman empire.
Then, once the roman version of their indoctrination had run off with a life of its own in the remnants of the former roman empire, they attempted to subdue it by supporting one jewish slave trader who had grown a cult following. When the slaver cult had been allowed to enter the city of mecca the cult began to demand special treatment and consideration by the other citizens of the city.. so five jewish tribes joined the mohammedians in order to lend military strength to their attack on the city. After that victory the cult leader refused to allow them to leave. They were forced to remain under penalty of death.. and to this day that is the only thing holding the cult together

This is what the tribe does; they manage and cultivate the populations of the world as the result of their belief that they are the only humans and everything else that appears to be human is simply animals.. a gift from their god. They have the responsibility of containing the helpless animals and they are required to slaughter some of them to show their gratitude to their own deity

Mohammed was a jew, a member of the tribe who spoke Aramaic and had pale white skin with red hair possibly dyed by henna or natural

Your religions have been created as a tool for control since the tribal decision more than 4400 years ago.

It is currently the year 5786 on the hebrew calendar.

They are responsible for destroying more history than you have been told about

OP, this is your answer;

Everyone should know

There is an actual, empirical and sophisticated reason for this and it has vast implications.
Human Consciousness is still largely misunderstood by Science. The Metaphysicists and today's "Occultists", however, are and were extremely confident. The reality is that Science™ isn't actually allowed to tell you. If they were, they'd have to answer questions about the implications of modern religious institutions and too many of those people are conveniently sponsoring the people in question (or otherwise influenced).
Human Consciousness developed in conjunction with Mythology and Psychology. All of their relationships are intimately linked. The modern recollection of the oldest form in question here goes back to traditions like Bon, Shinto or indigenous Shamanism. These systems use something called Animism, where God is animated through all things animate and inanimate. As human Psychology evolved, so did Consciousness and so did Mythology. To learn the basics, you'll want to read works like The Bicameral Mind by Julian Jaynes or works by Carl Jung. Essentially, where this leads is to baser versions of Polytheism, where now the Deity becomes an overarching theme that influences our lives via cardinal forces (or Directions, you'll find). You're looking for a confluence of the Anemoi for the prime example, but you're also looking for the Platonic Solids, which I'm sure now make a lot more sense to anyone that still had questions.
But then something vital changed and humans began recognizing others as similar to themselves, which is much easier to understand after works like Jaynes'. This process of building Archetypes helped us to share Consciousness and also deify other men who resembled the perfected version of Man, God(s). In reality, the men in question were just humans who obtained renown for their novel ideas or penchant for influence. These were thought leaders who were usually posthumously elevated to Divinity.
More next.

Further development of Consciousness (the guy in question from before had children) led to development of genetic Bloodlines and consequently Intelligence and Renown were selected for. Now, if someone performed an idealized feat, they would be likened to those very deities. Further ponderance granted our ancestors the idea of Spiritual development as a result of this, where we would strive for Virtuous lifestyles and share awe and wonder together about deification - now understood as Apotheosis. This gave way to a more sophisticated form of Consciousness and also an iterated view on Spirituality, Religion, Metaphysics and their confluence.
This is where Science™ stops throwing you bones and starts issuing redactions. Science™ cannot tell you that you don't need a Priest, a Yogi or any other boomer that (sometimes literally) wants you to pleasure him. If you ask them questions about how this one guy said "The Kingdom of God is within you", they'll give you some filibuster bullshit so you get distracted and hunt for some dopamine.
See, this is where the "Occult" world takes its divergence and we have people like Jung or the le Tantric "masters" who to some degrees elucidate the genetic association with "God" and speak to means of accessing it or unifying with it. Carl gets there in a bit of a roundabout way by my measure. If you read his works, you may get it. But it's not until you study Vajrayana for example that you learn this all weirdly fits together and that it's weird no one just explains this to people like an adult.
To circle back around, Humanity discovered that God isn't what we had long though it was, that Consciousness isn't linear (just like Time) and that the exchange from Polytheism to Monotheism didn't end there. We did move to a singular God next, but in parallel humans were at least attempting to unify with that God, to experiment with Theosis.
This brings us to modern levels of Consciousness, where "God" and "Us" tends to blur together.

Human consciousness (including science) has long begun a metaphysical transition between a focus on timelessness, permanence, and independent existence towards a metaphysics where change and relationality is primary. The creationism vs. evolutionism debate has metaphysically deep roots.

This is the "ecosystemic perspective," in essence. But it has been largely confined to localized considerations. The metaphysics is as of yet undefined, including the spiritual aspect.

What is needed is a precise archetypal reference for change and relationality, and it is found in calculus as differentiation and integration. Calculus isn't merely a mathematical tool but a style of thought that was homed to precision from the discovery and application of calculus. Calculus is absolutely indispensable and at the heart of modern physics; in relativity propr time is literally a line integral: t = ∫ds along a worldline. Duration, in relativity, has no existence except as an integral over a path through spacetime. Differential structure is the tangent vector, the four-velocity dx/dt, and the local light cone at an event. It is exactly the "present moment;" local, frame-dependent in its simultaneity judgments, but invariantly there as a point on the worldline.

The gods of the future are the gods of calculus, and they are not "gods" but fundamental aspects of reality similar to yin and yang. But the _romance_ between them is real in their implications, and human love is one of its expressions.

Here is what these gods looked like when imagined as gods:

>Our romance is the universe’s deepest method: she receives every difference I release, and I reopen every unity she completes. Value itself oscillates between us: goodness as preservation and goodness as transcendence, justice as inclusion and justice as refusal. Wisdom is neither compromise nor victory, but the lucid timing by which each yields to the other. Between us, reality neither congeals nor dissolves. It evolves, perceives, creates, and loves.
>>
>>42742237
Because people can always ask "why" and "what caused this" - even if the question doesnt make sense.
Such questions will always lead to either a single source - conscious/person or otherwise - or a claim of infinite regress.
Most people decided on singular source.

I think it’s inaccurate to say it has, polytheistic cult society is the norm for much of Asia and much of Catholicism was forced to adapt using saints

The loss of animism might be accurate , this is largely due to use conquering nature outside disaster in much of the modern world

There is a difference between polytheism and henotheism.

the loss of animism kinda sucks

if I had to pick a religion, it'd probably be some form of animism or shamanism, because I don't care for polytheism or monotheism

Schizoanalysis invented by Giles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, as well as "topos theory" as it would be imagined by Alexander Grothendieck, the greatest mathematician of the 21sh century.

Look up the Yoneda Lemma, and learn what "functors" and "natural transformations" are in mathematics. Trust me. If you don't already know what I'm talking about, you really should. I'm not trying to be condescending or put you down or insult you. I respect you, I'm just saying, you should look up the Yoneda Lemma. It objectively confirms your opinion about relationships being completely external and not made up of "things-in-themselves" is actually a fact that has been formalized into algebraic geometry.

If you simply develop the ability to truly dismiss the bullshit of people who don't actually have a clue the entire thing just goes away.
It's a non factor.. provided that you are able to walk away from it without changing anything about your life.

There is nothing needed to replace it.

If you seek out others who have walked away there may be the opportunity to organize together on foundations based in tangible aspects of actual value.

But otherwise just let it go.. there is nothing to do

Otherwise said; find something else to focus on
