Being
I separated truth from mysticism without dismissing depth
I noticed that I had often called things “spiritual” simply because I didn’t yet understand them. That wasn’t dishonesty; it was a placeholder for mystery. But I realized I don’t need to turn the unknown into mysticism in order to honor depth. I can allow scientific, psychological, and lived experience to exist together without forcing one to cancel the others. Truth doesn’t need a single language to be real. What mattered to me was staying honest; letting understanding grow without dismissing wonder, and letting wonder exist without replacing understanding.
