the problem with not believing in the reality of the spirit realm, is that your ability to understand what is driving certain repeating patterns in culture breaks down, and you start creating elaborate conspiracy theories to explain them. Dont get me wrong, conspiracy in the normal state of the State. But at a certain point, the ability to deny an unseen intelligence driving certain events requires ignoring logic.

The necessity of this depends on how you define and conceptualize the spirit realm.
I would say rather that a recognition of universal objective truth and a conception of the reality, persistence, and interplay of complex processes under such a framework are required. One could refer to such a process as the spirit of arrogance, for example, or the spirit of prosperity, these working in opposition.
What if the spirit realm is just another conspiracy theory used to explain patterns?
Generally speaking, that would be illogical.
Spirit realm is literally a conspiracy theory. Like in the literary sense of the word.
These things are easier to explain as oscillatory facts of nature, but hey, we like to find meaning in overcomplicated shit of our own design!
True. The universe and humanity make far more sense when seen through the eyes of spirit.
