"Some mysteries should never be solved."

Let's pretend that is a truism.
Seems like that particular stance could only be determined AFTER the mystery has already been solved, but by then, it's too late!

Well OK, then. Riddle me this:

In 'Devil in the Dark' (Star Trek), how did the flat-bottomed, misshapen Horta, acid etch an almost perfectly cylindrical hole?

Without mystery without mystique.... What is there to live with but hard cold facts? Knowing what's real is good but letting it twist you is not. There always should be an essential mystery.
-------------------- "A warrior is a hunter. He calculates everything. That's control. Once his calculations are over, he acts. He lets go. That's abandon. A warrior is not a leaf at the mercy of the wind. No one can push him; no one can make him do things against himself or against his better judgment. A warrior is tuned to survive, and he survives in the best of all possible fashions." ― Carlos Castaneda

What if all mysteries should always be solved? I see no reason to not solve mysteries, given the opportunity, and you might even argue that not solving mysteries is kindof against the very nature of science. Science is all about finding the truth and stuff, so if you want to leave stuff a mystery, you might argue that goes against science in some way. Maybe that's a bit extreme, but I see no good reason not to solve mysteries given the chance.
I hope that one day we can explain everything from DMT trips to the nature of consciousness and what happens after death (if anything).

How about the mystery of the I-Ching? Jung and McKenna got pulled into it. There's something powerful about it.

It’s nice, though I do tend to view something like the I-Ching as working the way it does due to a combination of things.
I don’t want to get into it right now though. But you can!

the i-ching is a beautiful work of art. it is so good that if you look at any part of it, deeply and with an open mind, you will feel suitably informed.
it is very much worth study, I am glad that people look at it, but I have never associated TM with i-ching, and I think it is more of a photo-op for his self promotion and a residual of the hippie culture that it finds its way into this thread.
If TM based his entire worldview on I-ching, and left our every other cockamayme new age concept I might give him the time of day, but his hodgepodge approach to totality is uninspiring to me, basically trying too hard to tell a compelling story.

Well at the moment I am super into Elif Shafak's novels about modern and ancient people in lands around modern day Turkey.
I have read 3 already and am now savoring "the forty rules of love"
Otherwise I'm reading Deadpool Comics and visiting websites.
For Buddhism I liked "The Heart of Buddhist Meditation" by Nyanaponika Thera
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyanaponika_Thera
I think it is enjoyable to find your own way using life and artworks which includes novels, music, and dance which are a rich source of seeing where and how other people find meaning and resonance.
start nearby, what is accessible, investigate as if you will check out everything eventually, but this is the most important thing now.

Recommendation from sixteen years ago:
Absorb and Appreciate (in no particular order):
10. The Spriritual Basics: The Bible, the Tao, the Kabbalah and the Kybalion, the Bhagavad Gita, The Way of the Pilgrim, the Koran/Quar-an, and the Book of the Dead... all taken equally and the same, with a grain of salt....
9. Anything on Quantum Physics and Philosophy... anything you can find. Thoughts are energy, we create our reality as we strive to understand it... for starters grab some Stephen Hawking and Deleuze and Guattari's What is Philosophy?
8. The Denial of Death by Ernest Becker and Eric Fromm's Fear of Freedom. Best tag on The Art of Loving, as well.
7. Agnes Martin, Adorno & that most swank whirling boognish, Rumi* (I am seeking my Shams-i Tabriz. I wish to live what I've been reading.)
6. Anything by Knut Hamsun, Bukowski, Milan Kundera, and the short stories of JD Salinger, esp. Raise High the Roofbeams, Carpenters and Seymour an Introduction.
5. Gabriel Garcia Marquez: 100 Years of Solitude & Love in the Time of Cholera
4. Kierkegaard: Either/Or; On the Concept of Irony; Fear and Trembling; and the Diaries, mein Gott, the Diaries.
3. Mikhail Bulgakov: The Master and Margarita & Heart of a Dog
2. Miguel De Unamuno: Our Lord Don Quixote
1. Drop your cocks and grab your socks... Henry Miller's Trilogy: Sexus, Plexus, Nexus: The Rosy Crucifixion. It's pretty much the Bible for those of us who like to drink, fuck, and write. Best thrown down with Under the Roofs of Paris whilst you're on a roll.
