Well stated True. I was going to replace your use of the word "acquire" with the the word "return,"... as if by removing these bad habits and such, I would be returning to some innocent state of naturality that I was born in. Honestly, I was discussing what 'first' brought me into the desire to study a spiritual world. But you bring up a valid and 'extremely' important point.
Have you read "Ishmael?" Essentially a concise discussion in the matter of humanity falling prey to their own modern mythology or story (as you began to state). Very appropriate to these questions.
Essentially, I feel the problem is that humans, beyond a shadow of a doubt, think that they are the most important "things" in the entire universe (obvious I suppose). So they have put it on themselves to control and manipulate everything within their capabilities... to be able to one day have that ultimate control.
We have crossed a certain threshold, and so it seems hopelessly manageable, and utterly desctructive from the perspective of you and I. But regardless of the questions that you and I pose and discuss here, I think we both carry a fire that serves as the subtle hand of intet. I don't have to ask questions about that. I need only obey.
*Universal intent is something I remain obedient to.
