Scientific religious philosophical mashup

I always thought of vajrayana as Tibet's highest yoga tantra, a serious and esoteric practice that has a precise and well defined goal. I'm pretty sure that's the lightning path, for liberation in a single lifetime.

Trying to squash the theory of evolution, quantum physics, and astronomy into a paradigm of realms, kalachakra, and rebirth just seems to me to be asking for confusion.

Maybe it can be a fun exercise, to decode and conceptualise vajrayana in modern scientific terms, but what's the point? Does it help in your practice? Does it develop science? Or is it just for a laugh at the nonsensical conclusions it leads to? Or worse, to create an illusion to which to cling, another obstacle in the path?

Again, it's like precisely calculating the foot size of angels, given a pin, and how many are dancing on it's head.

I've always thought suffering is related to the mental scramble, the mental acrobatics, people endure trying to come to terms with reality. The closer one's model of the world is to the reality of the world, the less we will suffer, the more directly we perceive.

I'm all for ecumenical debate, examining traditions and lineages to better grasp teachings, and I've transited through attempts to reconcile all philosophical systems, to realise that being eclectic is personally fulfilling but not necessarily beneficial in generating annihilation.
