No i don't think so. The truth is subjective.
And if you look for a cause, you spend myriads of pages explaining for what.
Cause for what?

Uh-huh... oneness, duality, oneness... fractal branching of ever increasing complexity, systems within systems, etc.
Welcome and I almost mistook your post for KPBs as your color schemes are similar... as is the profundity!
That personal journey is so very important.. and it is amazing how much variety can manifest when individuals speak of their perceptions of 'reality.' We always run the risk of that perception seeming to represent the totality of what is, because for each individual, it happens to be all-encompassing for us at that point in time and space.

Most beings don't know who they Are...so they love being named.
It's that simple.
One of the most important things to know.
That true name stuff is mostly garbage.

I agree and I think that holding a number of viewpoints in mind at once and mulling them over is difficult, but ultimately worthwhile, in order to come to some kind of consensus that each party can tolerate and relate to.
When we take that personal exploration, all of a sudden, the entire premise changes. For me, it changed into trying to understand the experiences behind the words, instead of getting caught up in, and reacting to, trigger words.

No i don't. I don't know what you mean with holding everything together?
But you don't have to answer.
Experience taught me not to argue with people thinking they are god.

Heh, I had that ego boosting oh-so-smart superior atheist phase in my childhood through midlife, too! Most smart folks in the Western secular world do.
I now know there is some sort of spiritual aspect to life, but I still think organized, man mangled team religion is the worst thing to have happened to mankind. No offense to the religious who may be reading this thread for some masochistic reason... heh... and I might be wrong and will have an eternity in hell to think about it!
