The human tendency to demystify

3 posts in this topic

 

I just wondered why people do this.

While humans enjoy the illusion, they also enjoy taking it apart.

People enjoy falling in love or watching a waterfall, but there also seems to be a deep need to break these experiences down into psychological concepts and subatomic particles.

The mind is desperately looking for certainty and grounding a groundless universe. To it tells itself stories to create an illusion of grounding. Then the mind can feel secure and safe.

The mind doesn't want to admit that reality is fundamentally Unknowable. That is not useful for survival.


You are God. You are Truth. You are Love. You are Infinity.

One could easily argue the point in the opposite direction of this perspective.
