Let’s explore the mysterious like Einstein.
"The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: His eyes are closed."
Albert Einstein
People often reference only the first sentence in this insight from him. I find there is a much deeper meaning derived from reading his entire comment.
Mysterious and mystical experiences are all around us every day.
I have the good fortune of having a curious grandson who reminds me of this frequently.
“Grandpa, why do the leaves change color and fall off?”
Is there something mysterious and mystical right in front of you?
Perhaps there is something new and mysterious on your Ikigai journey.
David, thank you very much. I love this! My days seem most positively mysterious to me because there are many encounters out- and inside me right now that make me "stand rapt in awe", right now. 🪅
