Thompson says the mystery of life outweighs all concepts and constructs, and it supersedes all-still to be found at the depth of the oceans.
He subtly adds, the discovery of new galaxies in the dance of stars in space is just a spec when one truly begin to contemplate how mysterious life really is.
There is a mystery that outside seeking cannot unveil which is the mystery that resides conveniently in the psyche of man. Thompson will argue this extensively by pointing out that "we as organisms, we have been handicapped by such a grave mistake-which is to discover that our primary objects of knowledge has be created with outward seeking tendencies", such that what one knows so far as their true-self is a host of suggestions gathered over time and vulnerably kept as fact for the sole-purpose of the survival of the organism (Thompson will say, even if you are the most ignorant person in the world as long as you are in contact with your survival instincts and can reproduce, you serve a purpose). So one will need to take a great pulse and see how great the quicksand their entire life's occupation is built on. A man may live his whole life on the surface, never touching and never finding out if there is anything mysterious about his existence. We are scared-stiff with the idea of being perceived as the uncommon one in any gathering-so we do everything we can to fit in, and in most cases, nothing to standout.
Do not be a bystander, together, let us behold the truth that collectively we are absolute nothingness but out of this nothingness all that is perceptible and can be experienced is continuously revealed.
