: There were indeed crop circles in the ancient past and more

Ah, yes, and so was considering the world to be round and thinking that the Sun was the center of our Solar System. All devilish ideas to be certain! (Poor old Socrates found the worst end of that stick.)
But then, 'the devil is in the details'. Perhaps we have detailed ourselves into a system that strings our ATTENTION 'out there' so we will not look 'IN HERE'. While we are 'gone'(past/future) from 'home' (NOW) our ATTENTION is 'stolen' and the bread crumbs eaten by the 'Mnemonic Monsters' so we cannot seem to 'see' our way home. It becomes necessary to 'feel' our way along with our E-motional (if blind) autisms until we 'remember' enough of the 'unfamiliar', making it familiar (turning it inside out...re-pent-ing, embedding).

"Ah, Lord to be a butterfly and dream of being man
but weeping would not become a butterfly
And butterflies MUST become!
"Metamorphosis is their transport and such rapture KNOWS no weeping." (john lyon)
