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
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 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
