Sense Of Mystery
Sense of mystery is another innate quality of human beings
like expectation of miracle.
One lives with it from birth to death.
In childhood and younger age, it is wonder and awe.
The games children play (Hide & Seek), the stories they prefer
(something hidden
beyond the mountains, underneath the sea etc) all creates
sense of mystery, wonder and
awe.
Recent Harry Potter series captured the young minds all over
the world with its magical
story and surrealistic / super realistic visuals.
As one grows the mystery may become mystery of opposite sex,
love and romance.
Childhood search of magical objects now becomes a search for
mysterious and forever
‘Love’ and ‘Soul Mate’ – another magical object but for the
grown ups.
Anyway later on, people accept the human limitation (
limitation of the egoor Ego-Self)
and settle down with ‘wonder’
Gadgets and a ‘understanding’ Life Partner.
Mystery does not disappear, at old age it comes back as fear
of death – what lies beyond.
The sense of mystery which gave wonder and curiosity of the
unknown at the younger
age, now gives despair and fear of the unknown.
Both (Pleasant and Unpleasant) are projections of the
Personal Mind (Ego-Self) and not
real.
In the case of ‘Fear of Death’ it is not really ‘Fear of the
unknown’ but ‘Fear of losing
the known’.
We will see more about ‘Fear of Death’ in another post.
The primary reason for taking up ‘Expectation of Miracle’
and ‘Sense of Mystery’
is because we are born with them, objects of mystery changes as we grow but the
sense of Mystery remain with us.
Scientific explanations can ‘explain them away’ and add them
to ‘knowledge’,
giving an impression that there are only unknowns not
mystery and everything will be
known in course of time.
Skeptics may dismiss it all as
‘Fear of the unknown’,
‘Reluctance to accept the indifferent attitude of the
universe towards human life’,
‘Trying to give Anthropomorphic meaning to the universe’ and
so on.
But, they (‘Expectation
of Miracle’ and ‘Sense of Mystery’) can also be
Indicator of limitation of the ego/Ego-Self and a pointer
towards the possible existence
of other levels of consciousness.
( Real-Self and Uni-Being).
