The assumption inherent in this question is that metaphysical understanding can be had using anthropomorphic metrics. One errs in mistaking measurement for understanding and this is compounded by the fact that ALL measurement comes out of our being AS humans. When you use words to describe the Real you can't help but circumscribe the Real in terms of finite man. Accepting the absurd nature of the cosmos is the first step towards sanity. See the Myth of Sisyphus and Albert Camus. Like the stone of Sisyphus the truth always escapes us just when we seemingly approach closest. So, process is the purpose and meaning, not the destination. It is rather a mystery to discover than unravel and define. In fact, isn't discovery the very action of the unknown?
