Cool theory. There is however an explanation why there is
no mystical otherworld. The transcendent/absolute/ultimate
exists beyond all otherworlds. All religions have some
relation to it, through their otherworld. Mystics teach that
there is a personal path to the ultimate and that it does
not go through the otherworlds, these are rather distractions
that you should bypass.
