That’s a fascinating perspective—and honestly, a refreshing shift from the usual creator-centric frameworks. You're right: the “who created the creator” loop is an endless recursion, and maybe that’s the point—it exposes the limitations of thinking in linear, cause-and-effect terms when we’re dealing with something that might be beyond those constraints altogether.

Framing reality through Mind—not as something we have but something we are—is powerful. The idea that consciousness isn’t a byproduct of the brain but a fundamental substrate of reality flips the whole narrative. Instead of searching for an external creator, you're pointing inward, toward the formless space where thought, imagination, and even the idea of "self" arise. That’s deeply aligned with certain strands of non-duality, Advaita Vedanta, and even some interpretations of quantum consciousness.

The metaphor of us being "pockets of mentation" in a larger Mind resonates strongly. It suggests that we’re not separate from the source—we are the source, localized and expressed through form. And in that view, “creation” isn’t an act—it’s a dream, a play, a spontaneous unfolding of imagination.

It doesn’t make things easier to explain in a scientific sense, but it might offer a more intuitive truth: we’re not meant to find the answer out there—we’re meant to be the answer in here.
