Your comments about perception of meaning not residing in the physical brain are crucial for the critique of meaning. I strongly recommend taking the time to read or at least skim through David Bentley Hart’s ‘The Experience of God: Existence, Consciousness Bliss” (yes, he refers to himself as a Vedantic Christian). He is one of the most learned human beings alive today (among other things, he speaks and reads 16 languages and has passing acquaintance with at least 12 more). Some passages with very long, beautifully poetic sentences remind me remarkably of Sri Aurobindo’s writings.

Hart is eloquent regard to the perception of meaning as one of the core arguments against materialism. And he can be very funny as well (often a bit too caustic, but even there, he is often quite amusing)
