Whilst it might spoil the magic I think on balance it would be preferable to know the exact truth, we must as a species know where we've come from to know what is yet to come, to know what Stonehenge and Avebury were made for, are part of the mystery of life, why are we here and whats it all for, to know the secrets of reality would set us free from any constraints, are there really as scientists say at least 11 universes, is there really a soul inside me and what if anything is god, I cant answer these questions myself, so I'll put myself in a position to know by exploring this country as fully as I can, maybe the answer will come maybe it wont, but I do love trying.
In short we must know the truth to take the right road into the future, what ever the cost.
If magic must be left behind in order to grow as a species so be it, but equally if magic must be rekindled in order to grow all the better.
