But it is not.
It is not any more of an illusion that the fact that the Everything

Mixed is more correct.
If it were undifferentiated, then it would be me like Lunar magic, but
Underworld beings are daimones, spirits and essences.

There is no experience in Glorantha of "before the three otherworlds

Yes, this is a theory there (as well as among us) but it does not
correspond to anything that anyone has experienced.
