Something must be eternal. Anything thing can give rise of something from nothing would mean that the state of nothingness never existed in the first place because there would be some Law that allows something to be created from nothing. A true state of nothingness would mean eternal nothingness and nonexistence. Therefore there must be some form of forces that are not created but are eternal and blindly give rise to material which then gives rise to consciousness. This would apply even if there was a multiverse, there would be forces that give rise the multiverse or the multiverse itself is enteral.

Any concept of eternal defies our rational understanding of existence. We just apply God like eternal and creative properties to blind forces which seems more rational than believing consciousness itself is the enteral element to existence. The belief that consciousness to be fundamental doesn't mean enteral consciousness is a Godlike being with its own sense of self.
