what's the difference between higher power and supernatural phenomena?
sounds more like agnosticism to me...

OP if you're feeling lost and without purpose there's more fulfilling things than getting trapped in the search for God. There's natural humanism. Read Carl Sagan. Read some Marcus Aurelius. There's a whole universe of interesting philosophy and science worth learning about rather than trying to find meaning in thy mystical and empty 'supernatural' hoping to stumble upon a sign that says made by god. The universe is majestic and endless and we are specks of atoms here for a short short time. Make the most of it while you can.
I'm not in search of a god to worship, or religion to be in. I'm free from those shackles. Now, I just like to dabble in the occult, and esotericism. I also like to deeply question reality. Yes, I love science too. I like to be on the fence between science, and the supernatural.
There’s nothing that humans couldn’t understand.
I've seen stuff fitting the popular descriptions for "underworld afterlife city of the dead", "the creator of the universe" and "discarnate spirits", so I sorta go with that.
I'm into meditation.
I think that arguing stories vs stories is bad epistemology and childish noise.
Just to provoke discussion…
How certain are you that these “popular descriptions” didn’t inform your dreaming/night terrors?
Prior to alien abductions it was vampires. Prior to vampires it was demons. Therianthorpes have been consistent, too.
It’s common for popular media to inform people’s nightmares, and sometimes there’s a moment between waking and sleep where we’re both conscious and yet still dreaming (complete with sleep paralysis.)
Just based on the premise of this question I think you should look into the work of Robert Anton Wilson if you haven’t already.
