Sounds like BS to me

No matter the domain of knowledge, if you dig deep enough, you'll eventually encounter some BS. From metaphysics, psychology, cosmology, whatever, at some point there is some nonsense, some self-referencing loop that doesn't make sense outside of the meaning we've given it.

"Some basic nonsense is entirely unavoidable, and the attempt to construct a completely self-defining system of thought is a vicious circle of tautology." —Alan Watts

In Cosmology (how the universe came to be and works), dig deep enough and you come to the Big Bang, which is essentially a creation myth—no different than those of indigenous and ancient cultures. The Big Bang is not provable in the same way we can prove water turns to ice when cold. At some point, you don't need to become a believer, but you at least have to suspend disbelief.

"It's almost as if science said, 'Give me one free miracle, and from there the entire thing will proceed with a seamless, causal explanation.' The one free miracle was the sudden appearance of all the matter and energy in the universe, with all the laws that govern it." —Rupert Sheldrake

Even in the domain of Mathematics, which I assumed was the pinnacle of technical logic, there is some BS. That is, even in sufficiently complex self-contained mathematical models—self-contained as in relating to the logic and operations of math itself, not a model trying to represent something outside math—you do not get a complete provable model. This is represented by Gödel's incompleteness theorems. The consistency of all of mathematics cannot be reduced to basic arithmetic!

This is kinda wild. Our brains are incredible tools that have allowed unbelievable levels of cognition and communication, yet, dig deep enough and it all eventually gets a bit... silly. This is precisely what I encountered after my logic based worldview came crumbling down during the pandemic. Interestingly, this has highlighted several implications:

1. We may never fully grasp the Universe and our place in it—at least not within our thinking minds.
2. Faith, or at least the suspension of dis-belief, is required to maintain consistency and order within the limitations of our conceptual minds.
3. Lacking awareness of this nonsense results in our egoistic minds to grasp onto order and control.
4. Lacking a complete and consistent modeling of the external world, we are left with developing our inner world for a sense of stability and security.
5. If an inner worldview is developed at this stage, and one still lacks awareness, they are prone to preach their way as the "One True Way".
6. If one is unwillingly to accept the nonsensical nature of our existence they may draw a hard line somewhere, arbitrarily, and defend that line at all costs.
7. Others are prone to becoming seekers, digging through the entire library of esoteric knowledge in hopes of finding a link or some hidden thing that, once found, will make it all make sense.
8. Finally, while the manifestations are many, there is a root crossroads at this point, where you can choose one of two paths: Love or Fear.

There are probably more implications, but those are most prominent to me at this time.

Does this all feel weird yet? I hope so. Because if you think about being a human long enough, how can it not be weird? Life is essentially a paradox! ¹

As much as I believe there is no "One True Way", I do believe there is "One True Direction". That is to develop your own inner world, cultivating love and working through your fears. How each of us actually goes about doing that? That is myriad and many, because each of us is entirely unique.

So, yeah, good luck, godspeed and remember: All Belief Systems are BS!
