i just saw you use the word "Elohim" and i just wanted to point out that the hebrew word means "bright ones" and -im is a plural modifier. there is remnants of this understanding that "the Godhead" is a plurality, and it's my position that it refers to the angels, who are his messengers, and that the word angel is ancient greek for messenger, messiah is hebrew, and christ is another variant, with an extra nuance, but foundationally is about bringing a message from God. and that just as you see depicted in all the icons of saints, the halo around their head is a visual motif that signals that the person has risen to a state of angelhood, as their message was needed and valued by those who celebrate them. when you keep this in mind, and consider the many contexts in which sainthood, enlightnenment and similar concepts are universal across all religions, and in most cases, like christianity, the organised establishment has sought to occult it and make it into little known esoteric theory, like the gnostics or the kabalists, the hermeticists, the zen buddhists, and numerous other variants of the same essential esoteric wisdom. even Taoism, despite the character of its most famous book the Tao Te Ching, is polluted with this "polytheist" stuff, the taoist equivalent of Mary is Quan Yin, the "goddess of love", and also in esoteric shinto and taoism, and hinduism, many grimoires of spiritual entities, demons, sages, and so on.
