And it reminds me of the section humans lack these senses, but to assume they don't exist would be silly, even dangerous.
We have no reason to believe either that the world of science has exhausted the fields of material reality that are beyond our sensory perception.
On the contrary, the most logical and rational assumption we can make is that we are surrounded by forces and entities of which we are completely unaware of.
And that, uh,
are as yet undiscovered.
And it just makes me think of, okay, this is what you're referring to is a bit of more of a mystical calling and that there is water that we are thirsty for, union with God, however we want to describe it, that we find in our own individual ways.
Do you feel that our calling is bestowed upon us by some unseen force or that
we are co-creators with it, that we are complete generators of it.
How do you conceptualize that?

Well, I'm going to take that one.
I think one thing that is a pervasive plague is what you referred to earlier, which you also name as the arrival fallacy.
