Existence is a mystery. It has to be.
If existence came from nothing then we'll never figure out how that happening because there's nothing there to figure out or explain.
If it came from something then that something begs a further question ad infinitum and we have a never ending series of questions which cannot be fathomed.
If that something just "IS" - like God or something like a God then that's a mystery also. How can something just "BE" - why is it there?
Either way , being a mystic seems like a pretty sane choice because logically existence can never be explained or fathomed.
Science seems to have the view that everything can be explained, understood or work out to find the reason behind it. I know quantum physics throws things out - but quantum physics just begs more and more questions and is mysterious in itself.
I've come to the conclusion that existence itself is unfathomable at some ultimate level ....which ever way you toast your muffin.
