Fundamentally, the mind does not understand God because it is divided. The mind has conceptually divided existence so cleverly that it views itself as divided from everything it knows. The mind is so confused by these divisions and so unaware that it imagines these divisions that it literally cannot recognize God, since God is the Unity of all things.
So, I am saying that you do not understand God because in your mind there is a cat, a dog, Hitler, blue, a unicorn, atoms, and a self-image of yourself, and you actually believe these things are physically different from each other. And so, you live in an imaginary, divided reality without comprehending that you are the one who divided it, and you refuse to unimagine those divisions because if you did you would lose your sanity. But if you did, you would become God and all of existence would make perfect sense.
God is not a magical being that is found out in the universe. God is when the mind finally realizes that it is imagining all the differences between things, itself, others, and the world. God cannot be known theoretically, academically, from a distance. God is only known when your mind achieves Unity. Unity cannot be achieved by believing or thinking it. Unity requires becoming United.
How united or how divided are you?
Notice that the more divided the mind is, the weaker it is, the more twisted, the more sick, the more perverted, the more deluded, the more lost, the more confused, the more foolish, the more frightened, the more angry, the more hostile, the more evil.
This isn't just a cliche — but ontologically — Unity IS Power/Health/Good/Love/Truth and division is weakness/disease/evil/hate/falsehood.
Your body is sick, your mind is sick, your relationship is sick, your science is sick, your university is sick, your religion is sick, your family is sick, your society is sick — because it is divided.
Recognize this as the highest wisdom and devote yourself to live it. That is the Good Life. To understand and live this is Philosophy. Any other philosophy is false.
This is a deep example of how the scientific mind fails at epistemology and ontology. They are trying hard, but they are hopelessly paradigm-locked in scientism and rationalism.
This is a very deep example. It is educational to watch it all the way through. You will learn a lot about how the rationalist mind works and its blind-spots.
You can see they can't make sense of what existence is, what is is, what consciousness is, what objects are, what distinctions are, what concepts are, what truth is, etc. Yet they are trying to do serious science.
Reality cannot be understood with this sloppiness of thinking, yet their oblivious to this point. This is true of nearly all scientists and academics. It makes no difference what theories they hold, study, or advocate. The problem is not in any specific theory but in their lack of mastery over their own mind.
No academic has mastery of their own mind. They don't even know this is a thing or why it is necessary.
Finally, what is the medium or "ether" that carries all physical activity (electrons, protons, photons, electro-magnetism, gravity, space-time, charge, quantum fields)?
Infinity/Consciousness.
There is only one Field. This Field is Infinity. It is infinitely continuous, infinitely holographic and contains every possible quality that can be imagined. This is true, absolutely. This unifies all of physics into one Absolute Field.
What does a photon fly through? Consciousness! Truth! Nothing!
When you do philosophy properly this answer becomes perfectly clear and obvious. When you don't, you forever remain clueless no matter how many PhD's you have.
Science is categorically incapable of understanding reality. No amount of technical analytical intelligence is sufficient to make sense of reality. Reality can only be understood through a totally holistic intelligence that only comes from trans-human states of consciousness. Reality cannot be understood as a physical system because reality is Consciousness and nothing but Consciousness. Human consciousness is incapable of understanding Consciousness. Only trans-human consciousness has enough intelligence and holism to understand Consciousness. No scientist has enough Consciousness to understand reality, so they spend their entire lives chasing their own tails like dogs until they drop dead. They have invested so much time and energy chasing their own tails that they would rather die than admit their mistake. So that is exactly what they will do.
This is the elephant in the room that no scientist dares to talk about.
This is not a problem of lack of technical ability or lack of advanced technology. The paradigm is entirely wrong. The paradigm is so wrong that there exists no right paradigm within human consciousness. It is a gap that science can never bridge no matter how hard it tries. The only solution is trans-human consciousness. No amount of science of any kind is equal to trans-human consciousness.
No amount of giving baboons faster calculators and bigger telescopes will get them to understand what a human child understands. This is the seriousness of Consciousness. The only technology that helps is one that raises Consciousness. Which is why psychedelics are the most powerful technology for understanding reality.
You should watch as many Stephen Kotkin videos as you can. He's a brilliant political thinker. Extract everything you can from him and integrate it into your political worldview.

It is easy to criticize any system from outside because your survival doesn’t depend on it. When your survival is internal to a system, seeing its faults becomes virtually impossible. It is like trying to pull up a rug that you are standing on. Which is why you can never trust anyone inside a system to see or tell you its faults, limits, and corruptions. You do not see the faults of any system your survival depends upon. Understanding systems is not merely an academic pursuit, it requires changing the structure of your lifestyle so your survival no longer depends on the system you seek to understand.
So, for example, you cannot understand science if you survive within it. You cannot understand Harvard if you survive within it. You cannot understand Fox News if you want a career within it. You cannot understand Christianity if your survival depends on it. Deep understanding requires proactively exiting systems — which is the hardest thing to do once you are deeply embedded within it. This is where the most serious development work happens. What scientist is willing to leave science just to understand it? What Christian is willing to leave Christianity just to understand it? Almost nobody does this because it is so emotionally difficult. This is why most sense-making is so poor. And, of course, which system is hardest to exit and understand? Your self.
This is why great sense-making requires courage. A lazy, conformist coward cannot do it.
Exiting systems leaves you all alone, without friends, without family, without tribe, without nation. Most people cannot bear this level of social isolation. They would rather be part of a corrupt system and blind to its true workings as long as they have company. This is why Nazis stay Nazis, Christians stay Christians, and academics stay academics.
This is like a small college lecture series on Post-Modernism.
Christians do not understand God. Scientists do not understand God.
So a Christian scientist is a Venn diagram of misunderstanding God.

"Whenever any skeptic appeals to infinity, they've got nothing. Infinity plus infinity equals infinity. Infinity times infinity is infinity. Infinity to the infinite power is infinity. So by appealing to infinity you can explain anything you want."
Omg, this is giving me brain cancer.
YES!
EXACTLY!
That's why GOD IS INFINITY!
How do you think anything can exists at all? Only because Infinity explains anything you want — literally! That is where all of God's power comes from.
Infinity is literally Omnipotence. The only way to create anything at all is if you have Omnipotence. Omnipotence is the only way to create something out of nothing. That IS the Miracle!
Infinity is the only solution to the ontological problem of how anything can exist.
And, going even one step further, of course Infinity is Nothing. The Christian is in denial that God is Nothing. And so is the scientist.
What a clever bitch Maya is.
