Well, here's the great mysteries that I can think of:

Time, Fate / Prophecy, Death, Space, the Soul, Love, Dreams, the Spirit
World, Faith / "God", Life, Consciousness / Mind, the Natural World / Mother
Nature, Aggression / War...

and, the greatest mystery that so few adults can comprehend:  The innocence
and wonder of the world through a child's eyes.


'Nuff said.
