How so? You're the one claiming everyone who doesn't agree with your metaphysics are "spiritually unconscious." Isn't it you who's making an awfully big assumption there? I don't need to do a Google search to recognize woo terminology. I'd say it's less about your worldview doing service to your mental health and more about your worldview actually having some resemblance to how the world actually is rather than how you just want it to be or imagine it to be. Anyone who thinks they know 'how the world is' is a liar. The more you learn, the more you realize how little you know. The human mind is an unfathomable mystery, as is the Universe. If you're talking about "how the world is" in some Kantian "ding an sich" way, then sure; but we can certainly know "how the world is" in an "our maps seem to match the territory" way. That's how (and why) science and rationality function so well and are so useful. When you have beliefs, marks on your map, that don't connect to anything in the territory, our sensory experience, then you're in the realm of making shit up, and then you're only limited by your imagination (which can imagine reality being far more ways than how reality actually is). Yes, the human mind is an "unfathomable mystery," which is why when you pick up a 1000+ page textbook on cognitive/neuroscience it just says "unfathomable mystery" on every page.
