is often times like trying to sculpt a delicate work of art with a
jackhammer. It's the wrong tool for the job, and as a result, ends in
frustration.
Many people falsely believe that the jackhammer is the only tool in
the arsenal, but that's only because they haven't turned off the
jackhammer long enough to notice the other tools.

I never found I had to search or think or "sculpt" in order to find the
Truth. I found the Truth came to me like blazing white light of revelation
with no work on my part at all.
All the thinking and sculpting and searching got me precisely nowhere - I
never found any real Truth this way.
When I say "Truth" I do not mean religious! I did not "find Jesus" or
anything like this. The Truth I found was far more all encompassing and
total and could not be contained in any one person or religion or anything
like this.

I think you're right. Many interesting endeavors aren't really trying
to find the Truth; Science, for example, being inductive, can never
find the truth, just approximate it.

To me, it's like this. The ocean represents the contents of one's conscious
awareness, contents which are probably infinite in variety (or variability).
The teacup represents the mind's ability to express this ocean. It's very
frustrating sometimes because the truth is the truth in some contexts but a
falsehood in others -- and there seem to be infinite contexts available in
which to frame any one idea.

I think you're right. Many interesting endeavors aren't really trying

Science really just tried to explain how the rules and regulations of the
human Earth matrix work.
If things do not make sense - they like to categorize and explain by way of
gravity or equations or...

I suppose science develops its own truths, which are useful and
practical (but limited).

Limited by what? What is it about the results of placing your head in
a bucket of sulphuric acid that you claim are limited?
