@SophiaCycles 2/ At the point where mature science and mature religion reconcile, the old idea of Reality as a concept to be grasped is discarded, like worn out luggage. What does it mean to us, when the Great Mystery assumes its proper place at the heart of our understanding and world?

@SophiaCycles Terence McKenna: "The great intellectual and emotional change accompanying the paradigm shift will be in people's ability to accept not having full explanations; they will understand that the depth of the mystery exceeds explanations." Art, influenced by the work of David Richo.

Mystery does not refer to a meaning we don't understand. It is what is too full and deep with meaning for minds as limited as ours to grasp.

Accept that we exist, ultimately, in a cloud of unknowing, beyond intellectual or psychological versions of truth and security.

Give up having to know or be certain. Live into the direction and meaningfulness of a Oneness too immense to be held.

Let go to a personal and planetary genius and destiny transcending the limits of our individualities.

Surrender to a deeper communion with life itself, opening to us as a pathway into greater mystery.
