Conceptualization
Have you ever thought about how we are born of the Earth, and the Earth is a planet born of the destruction of other planets and stars? And what if we are stars in and of ourselves? And we're made of compounds... molecules... strings of elements... and those elements are made of atoms? But atoms are protons and electrons and neutrons. What if there is a whole other category of classification so much bigger than what any of us can fathom... a whole other level of breakdown of the classification of life that we just cannot contemplate? And that is just another secret of the universe? It's just so big to consider! Like a whole other system to the universe... maybe we need to stop thinking about the small things that are tangible (atoms, protons, chemical properties of elements) and transverse to things they don't teach in books... concepts not even considered yet. But the mind can't handle that! Alternate realities are hard enough to grasp. The mind is so limited in its understanding. It's built upon distinct, discernible facts, stored via chemical pathways in our neurons... but all of this is appreciable, observable. How can you contemplate something that transcends that?
