> demystifying the mystical
What's mystical is the human race's avoidance of what was never mystical at all... the way the human mind works when driven by desire and fear.
There's no mystery to it. For better or worse, it's rather like a clockwork. History will keep repeating itself endlessly, because the future is driven by the past (i.e. "knowledge"). And the past is fixed, unchanging. As long as the world is driven by the past, the future will keep looking like it, over and over again.
