Yes and to "view" anything is a perception. A perception that can be flawed. Scientists view and perceive many things very well indeed, but do they completely understand everything it is about that which they are perceiving? To understand absolutely everything in the Universe and how it all works is not something that can be "perceived".

Does that mean we need to apply modern mythology to the things we have no full understanding of? (yet)

Your point is interesting, but is it important?

Being a Luciferian I cannot see God as the Truth. I do see Lucifer as the bearer of the truth (Tree of Knowledge) and gnosis which leads to Spiritual rebirth and the end to suffering and an unbalanced Universe.

In Hinduism, Brahman is referred to as the Absolute Truth or the Absolute Reality. The Rig Veda also says that Truth is one but is referred to by many names, or rather, God is one but is called by many names....Krishna, Allah, Jesus etc.

What is "important", another perception?

No. I do not believe in anything that is "mythological" or "supernatural" aside from that which is created in the minds of man. Everything that exists is natural to exist. The fact that scientists can not identify or explain everything just means that they do not and can not know the Absolute Truth. But that Truth or "absolute reality" does exist, we just can't perceive it.

All words are just ways of interpreting things and perceptions. Therefore that Absolute Truth cannot be conveyed in words. It simply exists.

By 'modern mythology' I mean concepts such as 'absolute truth' (with capital A and C...)

Understood. In that case it leaves us no other choice but to accept an Absolute Truth. We can not deny the existence of a greater reality just because we can not thoroughly identify it. That reality is there, we just don't understand it. But these are all just more words and perceptions. My own may be flawed.

Even "Absolute Truth" is a perception. There is something which exists that goes beyond all perceptions and defies all words. Could be wrong though.
