What's the point of trying to understand reality, if reality is mystical?

The explanation is long but absolutely obvious. If you want, I'll tell you.

In short, yes, neurons create what we call consciousness, 

Whats the process.  If its science you should be able to explain it scientifically.  Meaning if reality is material or made of atoms then science should explain everything.   But science cannot explain that process.  Because the process is mystical. Making reality mystical.

You can see how this is circular and almost says nothing because one didn't 'pick a lane' here, so to speak.

That's great that you think that you are so smart, shows good self confidence and it's very good, but maybe you should ask what I meant instead that's showing your teacher attitude. Are you sure that you have understood? Maybe not.

It's not that I think I am smart - I just tried to unpack how I understood your statement so you could clarify further if there was something else do add, or I maybe something I missed in my interpretation?

You know what? Don't worry yourself about it. It is more than evident you are not open to discussion. 

No offence was meant.

Mystic vs material means nothing. Reality is not made of atoms. Atoms are made of protons and neutrons, which in turn are made of quarks bound together by gluons, which in turn are local vibrations of the quark field and the gluon field, and these fields are vibrational possibilities of reality, meaning they are fields of possible potentiality.

Science can understand reality because, ultimately, the foundation of reality is the absence of limitations, from which coherent relationships arise. What is certainly impossible is a god who is bored and dreams dreams to live adventures, for many obvious reasons. The first one, that god would be limited to that will .

Really? Then I didn't read properly your post, seemed to me that you said that what I said is absurd, without having understood it.

Understanding is secondary to experience, sometimes we get it twisted... We should value understanding as far as it refines our experience, understanding for the sake of understanding is a dead end imo.
