Hi blue totem and grandspeculator,
I would agree with what you said. And it would fit right in with the tree of life discussion.
What you describe is very similar in content to the concepts included in the Qabala. I would add that there are not hard and fast deliniations to these levels
and so it is difficult to put into words and to cross reference systems or schools of thought. But truth is truth no matter where it is found.
There are levels upon levels and there is pure knowing or Oneness. Becoming "one with".
Even at these higher states there is a knowledge that there is something higher. This is mysticism (whether Eastern school or Westernschool of thought) as
opposed to magic or sorcery. Direct knowing. And I believe what Don Juan referred to as becoming a Man of Knowledge.
"The best thing we can do in this era of information is to integrate all the knowledge there is and use it to achieve the highest."
Amen to that brother!
