[Akira The Don, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson - The Mysterious lyrics]
We don’t understand the world
Like, I do think the world is more like a
Musical masterpiece than it is
Like anything else
And things are oddly connected
Now, you know, i know that sounds New Agey
And it sounds metaphysical
I’m saying bluntly that this is speculative
Right i’m feeling out beyond the
Limit's of my knowledge
I’m not willing to dismiss
The mysterious the mysterious
I’m not willing to dismiss the mysterious
I’ve experienced the mysterious in
A variety of
Different ways and it’s very mysterious
Very mysterious
We certainly know that we’re bounded
By ignorance there’s far
More going on than we know or can know we do
The problem is when you start to speculate
It’s a projection of your imagination
Now that’s not necessarily a
Bad thing because
Knowledge advances through projection
Of imagination
But the problem is you can see
Yourself reflected back at you
And then it’s self-fulfilling
So you can see what you want
The mysterious the mysterious
I’m not willing to dismiss the mysterious
I’ve experienced the mysterious in
A variety of
Different ways and it’s very mysterious
Very mysterious the most ancient ideas we
Have about the nature
Of reality are predicated on
A certain presupposition
And the presupposition is this
There’s two fundamental modes of
Being that characterise reality
One is the absolute, and the absolute is the
Sum total of everything
So if you think about things in
Their most unbounded possible form
If you think of things in their
Infinite number of potential variations
You can think about that as
One pole of reality
It appears classically that
People have regarded
Their encounters with the absolute
Which is all those multiple levels of being
That are beyond your perceptual capacity
As equivalent to an encounter with God
The mysterious the mysterious
I’m not willing to dismiss the mysterious
I’ve experienced the mysterious in
A variety of
Different ways and it’s very mysterious
Very mysterious
Like, I do think the world is more like a
Musical masterpiece than it is
Like anything else
And things are oddly connected
Now, you know, i know that sounds New Agey
And it sounds metaphysical
I’m saying bluntly that this is speculative
Right i’m feeling out beyond the
