Unity, can you visualize the model of the universe that you just described? Picture it as a piece of fractal art. These ordered, carefully linked structures that start with the smallest of the small and move to the unimaginably large, together form something beautiful, chaotic, and flowing. All the logical units which make up the universe coalesce into one ever-changing, unbounded, and unknowable whole.
It's true that the universe and its structure can be known by investigating the structure of the mind. But the same can be said of living through intuition and faith, and therefore coming to know the universe through the resonance of love between yourself and it. In this second path, the mind is used as a tool on the path of living to unlock the spirit, not as a means to live by. Now I'm not saying that all life should be like this. But I believe that this is the point, the lesson, of the life experience in this time/space nexus.
In your interpretation of reality, you seem to skip over a crucial part of it. Love.
