Leo, I Think Your Model of Reality Is Missing a Mechanism

What you're talking about is ontology, the method of which is contemplation

It might start there but when the Infinite is part of the equation(is the equation) linear logic and linear thinking are useless.  The reality is profound and it requires a profound depth of mind to contemplate it.  The old logic which the humans have always employed when pondering the mysteries is trite and insufficient.

No one can give the OP what they are looking for.

My intuition has always leaned me towards idea that the experience of dreaming is closer to what the substance of what reality is more than the actual "solidified" existence we experience when we are awake. I find an unusual comfort in dreaming, even when they are unpleasant.

Perhaps I am mistaken, but my intuition seems to be one my stronger qualities.

In this case it is correct.

That there is no structure to the Self is preposterous. 

It is like cavemen looking at the sky and seeing galaxies and saying "look at that chaos, there is no structure in the galaxy".

There is order in chaos. If there wasn't you would just be a pile of shit. In the same way consciousness is not like a pile of shit without order. There is a self organizing principle of consciousness. That is why you see everything evolving. If it was just all chaos, things would stay the same.

But it is only through the Freedom to experience not-Love that Truth is able to know itself as Love.

That's what this is. It is Love unfolding itself. The Process is messy & interactive.

Yes!

Love is neither unity, nor duality. It is oneness. It is symbiosis. It is a symphony and a dance. Love is beauty. Love is flourishing. Love is fullness. Love is abundance. Love is harmony. Love is balance. Love is authenticity. Love is self-acceptance and the end of alienation and self-judgement.
