Okay, but still. If a given “individual’s framework for understanding objective reality” is different than another’s, then we are still back to my point that one individual’s (e.g. and Hindu’s or Ancient Greek’s) framework differs materially from another’s. Hence, not True always-and-everywhere. My main point is that what you call objective reality is only understood and communicated through concepts and that it is only when these concepts are DROPPED that we get to anything real and True. This is what #mediation points to, at least. All frameworks are just stories, ideas, thoughts… opinions.
Again, I don’t mean to offend. You are free to pray however you like. But, a survey of religions and myths over the millennia demonstrate that the only thing more abundant than our creativity about divinity is our certainty that *our* interpretation is more right than the next tribe’s. In the end, any god you worship is just another story. Your god may be a merciful one or a wrathful one. It may be personified by a man, a woman, or a monkey. It may contain lessons, dogmas, or rituals that are more (or less) beneficial to human flourishing. But, it’s just a story. The Truth is none of it correct, none of it is important, and none of it matters. This is not nihilism. It’s just the truth. Objectively.
You mentioned that you are interested in Taoism. So, let’s look at the Wu Wei, for example.
“Why are you unhappy?
Because 99% of everything you think, and everything you do, is for your self….
…and there isn’t one.”
