Transcendent principles of nature

July 23rd, 2023

The laws of nature are immovable and unchangeable and everlasting. They have been a constant blueprint and a point of reference since time started and are by nature the same on a cosmic and on the most localized scale. Our observations, which only cover a minuscule period of existence of the universe, are based on them and we can only refine what we can see while the underlying principles stay the same.

And yet, the myths and visions and dreams show a different side of nature that brings the disparity between the physical constants and the spiritual variables into question.

Nature is ultimately responsible for the common and sensible laws of cause and effect which seem to rule the material world. But there is also a world of transcendent principles of nature that have a perpetual (at least since the dawn of consciousness in humans) existence in a higher order of being. That knowledge is seldom granted to people, and then only to those who make it their goal in life to find it while keeping an open mind and navigating between false paths of internal prejudices. And going by my experience, that seems hardly possible since my mind is full of knowledge of the proper order of things cemented on materialistic principles of nature. Still, I believe that there is a way to transcend and bypass the commonly accepted habits of material nature. I feel that I am not quite content to abide just by physically manifested laws of nature. I feel that the idea of the very existence of a self-contained and orderly material world is only an illusion. Do I dare to say that there is only a small step from the illusion to the simulation? Anyway — what is the only apparent state of nature and its laws is not enough for me. There is something beyond the physical world that was experienced (if only for a moment) by others and transmuted into myths and beliefs. That gives me hope, as the myths and beliefs gave hope to countless previous generations.
