I agree. Primal-instinct spirits are just our way of describing events through our somewhat limited perception which craves to give a narrative to that which is ineffable to human logic and reasoning, hence the myth was formed, art and theatre, a bridge between arts and ancient science, a magical way to describe the rest and motion of celestial spheres, our heavenly bodies, poems in opposition to prose, the closest approximation to the unity of rational and irrational in divine comedy and tragedy, which we refer to as a pantheon of gods, a containment of all archetypes in a single point, a singularity which resolves all paradoxes and transcends space-time, and yet permeates every wave particle of all possible outcomes, the cosmic field of consciousness, in which we are just temporal actors, and yet unified in timelessness. This universal spirit is way above intelligence and our comprehension, it is pure, perfect and incorruptible, unbound spirit. The ignorant don't see this for they aren't primed to receive the pneumatic seed of christ consciousness, captivated by the sensory input and immediate gratification in a world of shadows they are driven by lower instincts, so the fool treads ahead bumping into wall of his own ignorance until he's ready to leave this Plato's cave. These spirits or forces aren't dumb, they transcend human intelligence, they are wisdom, what greeks called Daemons, they reside in our instincts, and creative or reflective body of anima (A Vision - W. B. Yeats), they serve to protect us from the impure chaotic forces which wish to dominate and enslave us. Daemons are ruthless and unforgiving, severe but just, and when they manifest, a person can often feel conflicted with imposed superego which can create a fracture in personality, as we try to moralize and comprehend the ineffable, they also serve to create a tension which ameliorates and matures emotions, bringing opposites closer together, priming bodily vessels to receive light. This is why Jesus is called both a Lamb and Lion of God. The most gentle and kind personification of love, who can in a split second tear his adversaries apart. Also in a poem The Tyger by William Blake you can notice the same contrast brought together in symmetry, in his case Tiger and Lamb.

"The Pharisees and the scholars have taken the keys of knowledge and have hidden them. They have not entered nor have they allowed those who want to enter to do so.

As for you, be as sly as snakes and as simple as doves."
