 I have a thought, I fall down this random thought rabbit hole, it has to do with why i exist at all, there are no answers for the thought I’m having.. its outside of the “regular” realm of human thought…now I’m suddenly “spiritual”… yes.. my spirit,  something beyond my human mind, is trying to speak to me. 

I can tell you what you are made of at a molecular level,  I can tell you the strange ways the molecules act, I can show you that they each have their own energy. But I can’t definitely tell you what is going on,  so I’m “spiritual”…. Feels like a psyop to trap people into not figuring out a lot of what the human condition actually is. 
 We are here to create a different future. 
To make the universe evolve faster. 
Catalysts.  
 While reading your post, I had to think of this podcast with Donald Hoffman: Academia old-school science catching up with 'spirituality' about our existence. Beautiful all these rabbit holes these days 🙏

 I’ll watch it! Thanks for sharing 
 My pleasure, mate .. enjoy! I listened to it while building a natural stonewall the other day 🤯  
 Listening as we speak. I agree already. I was saying the other day that the brain evolved to keep us safe and alive.. not to seek truth. This aligns a lot with those thoughts. 
 Great! Yeah, I think so, too. The brain has evolved as a superbe survival tool in a three-dimensional reality and we'd do good to understand its functions and limits. But it isn't creating consciousness, isn't able to by itself perceive the whole. 
 Word brother/sister💯 I think a lot of us are sharing this thoughts.❤️
