I believe that there are metaphysical aspects of reality and unfalsifiable truths science and mathematics will never be able to prove.

Like consciousness being greater than the sum of its parts and there being spiritual aspects to the universe. Like emotions existing as non localized complex energy frequencies, and karma existing.

I used to be a hardcore scientific determinist athiest. The scientific method, mathematical logic, and unfalsifiablility were collectively my God. My version of the universe was a mechanical box our fates predetermined by an uncaring system. There was no room for magical thinking or maybe invisible unicorns. Thing either existed or they didn't, yes or no, 1 or 0. Everything not absolute verifyable truth was worthless.

Then I had a psychedelics phase, astral projected, experienced ego death, had telepathic communications with divine / cosmicbconsciousnesses using plants as mediums, looked at myself from third person with nonexistent eyeballs, ect, ect.

I will never be able to prove to anyone my experiences are real, but what I experienced was real to me from my subjective reference frame in every way that matters.

There is a scientific method for spirituality. But it requires accepting that consensus reality is socially constructed.

This is very interesting but feels deeply uncooked, needs some time in the oven to cement itself a little bit more
