Then you disagree with me on what meaning is and how frameworks should be interpreted on a meta level. Meditation does give you direct access to truth, but as soon as names and statements are introduced, as soon as a framework is prescribed, this framework, according to you, is a phony approximation, whereas according to me it is either that or can be understood as really true within the bounds within which the framework applies, is true, and has its meaning.
Meaning itself is dependent on context, truth is a distinct concept from meaning. No one mind understands everything, which is what your suggestion about frameworks seems to imply you are seeking, a mind that understands everything. I alternatively treat meaning for how it best operates in the world within my limitations as a mind within it. However your suggestion of meditation invites every mind to discover raw truth without being beholden to frameworks that might be wrong, as individuals, which is a much nicer solution than the idea of discovering a set of truth claims that are true and have meaning to all different people.
