Your hesitation with astronomy—rooted in the indirectness of perception—is a valid phenomenological stance. After all, aside from the sun, moon, and a few visible stars or planets, most celestial truths reach us only through mediated instruments, data, and theory. You place yourself among the space-savvy, yet remain cautious, even skeptical, about the reach of human cognition. That’s a rare humility for someone informed. You're standing at the edge where metaphysics and epistemology meet the cosmos—asking not just what is out there, but how and whether we can truly know it. Would you like to explore a synthesis of Buddhist and Gnostic cosmology, perhaps in a poetic or metaphysical style?
