The Mysterious

We don't understand the world Like, I do think the world is more like a musical masterpiece than it is like anything else And things are oddly connected Now, you know, I know that sounds New Agey and it sounds metaphysical I'm saying bluntly that this is speculative, right, I'm feeling out beyond the limits of my knowledge I'm not willing to dismiss The mysterious The mysterious I'm not willing to dismiss The mysterious I've experienced the mysterious in a variety of different ways And it's very Mysterious Very mysterious We certainly know that we're bounded by ignorance There's far more going on than we know or can know We do The problem is when you start to speculate it's a projection of your imagination Now that's not necessarily a bad thing Because knowledge advances through projection of imagination But the problem is you can see yourself reflected back at you And then it's self-fulfilling, so you can see what you want The mysterious The mysterious I'm not willing to dismiss The mysterious I've experienced the mysterious in a variety of different ways And it's very Mysterious Very mysterious The most ancient ideas we have about the nature of reality Are predicated on a certain presupposition And the presupposition is this: there's two fundamental modes of being that characterise reality One is the absolute, and the absolute is the sum total of everything So if you think about things in their most unbounded possible form If you think of things in their infinite number of potential variations You can think about that as one pole of reality It appears classically that people have regarded their encounters with the absolute Which is all those multiple levels of being that are beyond your perceptual capacity As equivalent to an encounter with God The mysterious The mysterious I'm not willing to dismiss The mysterious I've experienced the mysterious in a variety of different ways And it's very Mysterious Very mysterious --- The Mysterious - Akira the Don and Jordan Peterson
