totally with you on this.
Line up a solstice beam onto the altar or a chosen chapitel, the body reads the cue and the mind tips into another experinece much like with deep chant.
Kind of wild how temples worked as precision machines for state shifts, right?

That was precisely the fundamental purpose sought in their construction: that they should, in some way, be 'intermediaries' with the Divinity. And I believe this is applicable to all temples of great cultures and civilizations, regardless of our faith. From this perspective, the temple was more than just a meeting place.
Exactly. They built them as intermediaries, yes, but also as tuned instruments that shaped attention and emotion through reverberant stone, timed light, and ritual rhythm < so the space itself did the work. Across cultures, that aim toward the diVInity shows the same gerat design instinct in different guises, more than a meeting hall ever could. Kinda feels like they were early cognitive engineers, right?
Indeed, one could perfectly well reach that conclusion.
