John: I agree, at some level, yes, human nature and that-which-we-don't-understand do collide. But what we piece together from that collision usually reflects more on human nature than it does on the nature of the unknown, because there is no real collision. It's a conceptual collision which manifests through thought, feeling and emotion.
That's why I think spirituality isn't about the unfathomable, but mainly about ourselves and our place in the world, incidentally about our relationship with the unknown, and only superficially about the nature of the unknown itself. And in the pursuit of understanding of the primary point, ourselves and our place in the world, the unknown is a distraction.
