The mind is a curious instrument in that it can spin these
frameworks that provide a sense of meaning, purpose, order, comfort to
the ego, but that ultimately never stand up to scrutiny. Like works of
art they are always approximate and incomplete. You can always ask
"why?" and dig further down the infinite rabbit hole, as any 4 year old
persistently demonstrates. Building these frameworks, and all ideas I
think, are creative acts carried out in a cognitive realm. As such they
can be incredibly beautiful or useful pieces of the paradigm puzzle, and
they can provide technologies and modalities through which to further
create. But note that they are always ultimately built upon what was
fabricated before. Follow that back to primorida and I see that the
things we hold as "true" are simply those frameworks that have gained
consensus (or perhaps equilibrium) in consciousness. Even the giant
foundational ones like science, life and space-time itself are
fabrications, creations of consciousness with limits, approximations and
frayed edges. Not to diminish this accomplishment at all! In fact this
is where I see the manifestation of incredible order, anti-entropy,
sequitur, a fantastic legacy of godlike creation. (When science holds
that everything is descending into chaos through entropy, it is an
indication of the scope, approximation and incompleteness playing out in
their frameworks, because it is so clearly not true on the grand
scale.) Most people I guess call this Source, Oneness, God, Love, what
have you. But to name it is to approximate it, externalize it and turn
it into a framework (or a religion). Consciousness is.
