MS,
I am not attached to understanding. I wish to understand what it is you are talking about. But you seem to like being vague about it. Which leads to me to think you do not understand the distinctions I outlined. Which is ok. Many people have spiritual experiences but have trouble understanding them and putting them in context. It does not diminish the experience just renders it too personal to be of any help to others.
To just keep recycling the same old declarations like "all is one" without understanding what it means, might sound spiritual but is it?
When such declarations FIRST came forth they were an expression of something (deep experience). And the one uttering was trying to communicate it with words so that it might be indicated as clear as possible to others. Such a person would not be stumped by the distinctions I outlined.
So I keep pressing for clarity!
