Mountains Again

*Mountains Again* is a song about what happens after the search. Many of us spend years chasing bigger explanations—religion, spirituality, philosophy, conspiracies, enlightenment—only to discover that reality never asked us to decorate it. Sometimes the deepest awakening isn't finding another belief. It's learning to see what has been there all along. This song was inspired by a conversation from ASCENDOR's *Why I Left Spirituality Behind*, particularly the progression from questioning inherited beliefs, through spirituality, and finally arriving at a grounded appreciation of ordinary reality. Rather than criticizing spirituality, it explores the possibility that every sincere search eventually circles back to the simple world in front of us: mountains becoming mountains again, rivers becoming rivers again. The lyrics reinterpret those ideas through the Eidomancer lens—looking for durable patterns rather than comforting stories, and asking what survives when our assumptions are stripped away. Whether you're religious, spiritual, skeptical, scientific, or simply curious, I hope this song offers a moment to pause, breathe, and appreciate the astonishing fact that existence simply... is. --- *Transcript references & inspiration* This song responds to ideas discussed in ASCENDOR's video *Why I Left Spirituality Behind*, including: • Questioning inherited belief systems rather than accepting them automatically. • The journey from Christianity through spirituality toward a more practical view of reality. • The idea that existence may not owe us an explanation or cosmic narrative. • The Zen expression that "mountains become mountains again." • Letting go of concepts in favor of direct experience. • Finding peace not through accumulating beliefs, but through releasing unnecessary ones. The lyrics are an original artistic interpretation and are not a quotation or reproduction of the original discussion. If this resonates with you, I'd love to hear where your own search has taken you. #Eidomancer #TecknowShaman #AlternativeRock #IndieFolk #PostRock #Philosophy #Reality #Truth #Awakening #Existentialism #Meaning #Meditation #Science #CriticalThinking #Music
