The Mystery Hypothesis

What I don’t and cannot know, I suppose to the mystery hypothesis.  


Every single thing, every concept we believe we know and understand, accept as fact, historical, evidence based, relies upon existing presuppositions that are, at their foundation, as fluid and baseless as the end product we adhere to as factual.


The authentic approach in visualizing our world and our existence is to become comfortable with the mystery, the unknowable, rather than to fear the image of a world that cannot be defined in conceptual paradigms of time and space.


When we become entrenched by an idea, concept, or behavioral structure, we effectively become blind to all other possibilities external to that belief structure.  And not only blind, but actively antagonistic, as we fight to defend something that is inherently indefensible at its core.


What is the mystery?  The acceptance of not knowing, and even more importantly, not needing to know or to coalesce a framework of ideas into a believable concept acceptable to the mind’s limited perspective.


It’s a mystery.  If you solidify a grouping of ideas into a belief, no matter how unique or original, it becomes yet another blinding ideology.  


What we think we know is in reality not knowable.  


The ideological guardrails we construct in our mind’s eye provide a false security that at some point will fail to prevent you from crashing through those guardrails and down the cliff into the unknown.  It’s only a matter of time. 


Some will continue to rebuild the guardrails when damaged, others may be shaken enough to slowly begin the removal process, and a few may fall into the unknown, the mystery.


Anything that binds us limits our authentic self from emerging and prevents us from understanding reality’s original essence.
