I think the concept isn’t just the “broader reality,” rather an unknowable reality. That which does not change is the only thing that could be real. From our human, finite standpoint of the universe and existence the only thing that appears permanent is change itself. This raises a problem, an inability, in grasping what it means to be infinite. For example, evolution and the Big Bang can be a simple factor of a cyclically expanding and contracting universe, yet still be completely dissociated with the concept of god. This is why I’ve always been drawn toward our entire existence as being mental in nature. The universe is mind.
I also believe it’s important to find balance between the quest for the unknown and simply living life as it comes. Don’t push, don’t pull. This raises the necessity to put aside constant introspection of god because wanting what can’t be attained will leave one torn asunder, like waves beating on rocks. The opposite side of the spectrum is complete denial of an omnipotent being and affixing the impossibility to all things. From what I’ve gathered, it’s of no use to make a hard choice as the proof will never be revealed.
The mental reality of all things seems most likely, however. It serves the ability to have this permanent, infinite universe where no physical things exist and never have existed. The basis for this stems from a single mind that is so still it can never be moved, not by emotion nor persuasion. In this unchanging mind, all things can exist as impermanent, ever changing and constantly trading energy that is never separate from the mental universe. Whether or not that mind is god will never be known, but it does appear our existence is mental in nature and would thereby be infinite.
Broad includes unknowable reality or partially knowable reality. Many people are stuck with only what they know and unaware of how much they don't know.
When it comes to these voids I don't like to always fill them in but leave them empty as possible. Then you can see the edge and follow it or advance it.
I don't have to resort to an omnipotent being (which reasons further questions). However it's still unexplained how anything exists. There's a tendency of many to think they have the answer but each answer leads to another question and you never reach the bottom. The concept of god suffers the same fate, a link in a chain.
There comes a point where you just have to say we know things exist and don't have a clue why. The concept of an all knowing god seems like a substitute for accepting the unknown.
The problem of the universe as pure perception or for all I know I could be the only thing that exists and reality is my own reflection if that once you go down that path anything is possible, most of it just cancels each other out and you can't really make any sense of anything. It's all up in the air.
The only fundamental truth thar raises real questions is hat we're aware of our existence and they're not explanation for that nor any reason why the universe should only become capable of producing that now. We fundamentally do not really know what we are. Only that we are. We can explain half of it (the external material part) but not the other half (the internal experience part).
If we're conscious and don't know why we cannot exclude the possibility of some conscious direction elsewhere in the universe. It would be arrogant to assume we're the only conscious thing.
