I didn’t sleep well again last night. I’ve had this disturbing question running through my mind. Am I the only one who feels that the true understanding of reality is impossible? The more I skim the surface of physics, biology, chemistry, psycology ect… The more I realize that there is so much more out there that our puny little minds don’t grasp and from what I can see are incapable of grasping at this stage in our evolution. I think people find comfort in believing in certain things and maybe that is the best way to be but…. What happens when you just can’t believe? Are some people better able to handle the uncertainty than others? Am I one who needs a belief system?

I’ve been reading in The Tibetan Book of the Dead. I’ve mostly only read in the introduction and the glossary so far. Today I understood, from what I read, that only through understanding the true nature of reality will we be released from suffering.

I can see this as being true but is it possible or do we try to understand and grow as much as we can and accept the suffering that accompanies being a human with limited senses and brain compacity?
