This discussion  explores the metaphysical significance of the dwarf planet Gonggong, drawing connections between its namesake, a chaotic Chinese water god, and themes of transformation and the subconscious. Its distant and unpredictable orbit in the scattered disc symbolises uncertainty and new possibilities beyond our current comprehension. The discussion suggests that studying Gonggong, much like using contemplative practices, expands our awareness beyond the immediately tangible. It posits that this remote celestial body reminds us of our interconnectedness within the vast cosmos and challenges humanity's pursuit of knowledge, mirroring a spiritual quest. Ultimately, the text encourages embracing the unknown and considering the broader existential themes embodied by this enigmatic object.
