If we are all potentially illusions (our consciousness). Can there be lesser illusions like devils and demons that gain strength through fear and ceremony? Is the consciousness of the energy subject to a struggle for dominance between good and evil?
It seems to me that the only consciousness that matters, on this planet is ours...we humans. Some gain strength against the "lesser illusions" through science, some through religion or both and others are just strong enough to realize, and live...Why worry about it? Just go with the flow it's a gold rush.
To use science and religion to fight against"lesser illusions" and superstitions is a noble fight and is ongoing. To stand up and claim your dominance over "lesser illusions" and say I have power over anything illogical or less than me is the law and the prophets.
But when it goes beyond that and religion stands up and claims dominance over other people they become dominated by exactly what they were fighting against in the beginning..."lesser illusions".
When science goes around chasing wild geese, that's OK.
But if wild geese turn out not to exist.
Science becomes dominated by..."lesser illusions".
The "seeking for truth" is what keeps hope alive. I am an optimist and think we can win out over the "lesser illusions".
