I think this lends a lot more credibility to the idea that the two halves of ancient humans’ brains weren’t connected (called the “bicameral mind”), and references to “gods” during that time period were hallucinations from the disconnected half.
References to “the gods abandoning me/us” were people describing what it was like to experience the two halves connect, leading to the disappearance of the hallucinations.
References to searching for people who are “still connected to the gods” means they’re looking for people who still have a bicameral mind and experience the hallucinations.
