This is what I'm most curious about. Does this concept of being-itself have any validity outside of the humanistic mindset? Does reality conform to our thought processes?

No, sir. Your beliefs represent one of many ways to interpret reality; they also make you unique. Hence, IMO, it is not my place to tell anyone what is inconsistent, inadequate, meaningful, etc.
With that said, I have enjoyed reading your posts and learning from you. IMO, you're a very good thinker.
P.S. I apologize If I have come off as highly inquisitive. Unfortunately, I am a man who has many questions but not many answers.
