Isn't it only a supposition that becoming one with God would be the same as dissolving into a state of emptiness though? (just trying to clarify here.
)
Otherwise I completely agree, though I've never thought that even if a supposed entity is somehow brought to light through discovery, it would justify the existence of mankind. There's no way to know such a thing, and perhaps it would be for the best if we simply continue to search.
