I think that the origins of everything and all things at play are supernatural and something profound, similar to some stories I've heard about Hindu gods and goddesses, but something we may not be ready to know. I think that because we couldn't know the full truth or be ready for it, glimpses are told through stories. I think that the divine may want us to trust these stories and that somehow, they provide guidance even if not a 100% mirror image of what goes on behind the scenes nor actual real world reality either, but close. I think beliefs like Jesus are one of those things, I believe he existed, but that perhaps the stories weren't fully literal to tell you a glimpse of both reality and what's really going on behind the scenes, but not a full physical manifestation of either.
So I propose 3 layers to everything, this sums it up better:
1. The truth, the physical manifestation of gods, at the core
2. The story between the core and outer crust
3. Reality at the outer crust

This doesn't make me a Baha'i though because although it sounds similar to some of their ideas, I see it more outwardly where rather than looking at things through a Baha'i lens to find the truth of other religions, the best lens is seeing Baha'i as 1000% fully equal and just another bubble.
I won't pitch additional ideas at this time so as not to complicate too early. (Or if I'm way off-base, you can just tell me now.)
