Abstract

This paper asks what Structural Intelligence can learn from major spiritual traditions without reducing them to psychology, physics, or framework language. It argues that many spiritual teachings can be read structurally as disciplines of release from false form: practices and visions that interrupt the human tendency to mistake temporary holders for Being itself. The paper does not claim that all religions teach the same thing, or that sacred traditions can be reduced to SI. Its narrower claim is that many traditions recognize a recurring structural danger: the human tendency to give a local form the burden of ultimate reality. Wealth, status, ritual, law, power, tribe, desire, purity, knowledge, image, ego, grievance, and even spiritual identity can become false holders. Spiritual teaching gives SI its liberation layer: the discipline of de-fusion, de-occupancy, reorientation, and return.
