This sounds pretty profound, but if you could explain it to me in your way, I might get a better understanding of it.

I love how you are talking about simple and you've got two long words next to it......
Can it be summed up in one idea...? I dont think it can be summed up at all

I doubt it, but not because it is necessarily complex, but just our language cannot describe it or there simply isn't any meaning or idea to apply.

No one can have one idea to explain anything, but it is simple.

Just be? String Theory? Experience?
Occam's Razor is a nice concept isn't it.
