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

You say this yet you also claim a concrete process in which consciousness is derived from.  That neurons create consciousness.  Yet this concrete process you fail to decipher. 

I told you many times, but you don't want to consider it.

Materialism fails at all angles.  Drop it.  You should be able to see how it fails as bright as you are.  It frightens me that you cannot see it being how smart you are.

The power of cognitive bias. The smartest people have the full strength of their intellect working against them if they aren't aware of their thinking patterns....

I cant describe it to you but it is a state.   And if you ever do become omniscient you will know and understand all. Isn't that all that matters.  In that moment what Josh or David had for breakfast doesn't mean anything    

I've witnessed some crazy shit, but knowing all was never a thing. 

I've rode light beams across the universe. I've experienced eternity in a single second. I've bent time and space. I've seen literal sound and heard sight. And before all that, I was questioning consciousness since I was 4 years old. But I've never experienced omniscience.

Based on all my travels, I feel very safe in saying that if I did experience it, I would chalk it up as either a transient delusion or an interesting truth that isn't compatible with the current reality.

Not to diminish the absurdity of it all - it's all absolutely insane and what can be imagined can be witnessed, but when the dust settles and you have to explain your experience and function in the reality before you this very moment, it's irresponsible to cling to your imaginatory revelations. 

THIS reality YOU are in NOW is THE actual reality that exists.

If it's not clear, THIS reality is DOMINANT for A reason. You want to escape it or want it to be different, but reality demands THIS reality be dominant. 

My middle name is david, btw. lol

materialism means nothing; matter is ultimately a local vibration of reality, not a thing. Matter is made of change, same than anything else that exists

@Inliytened1 

What do you make of THIS reality? The everyday reality. Here and now.

Is it just an illusion? Is it some sort of purgatory? Some sort of lesser reality?

It's like you try to understand something, only to reach the conclusion that you cant understand it.

IMO It's just entertaining for the mind, the mind survives in movements, the Absolute or the Truth doesn't seek to understand as it's perfect doesn't have such desires, Being is all that's real. pure and simple. Mind's capacity to imagine is limitless and loves complexity and so it's desire to understand himself is also never ends. Mind doesn't settle for simple Truth as it doesn't survive that.
