If there is the visceral recognition of where the concept points then an overwhelming sense of familiarity arises - and the absurdity of the separation delusion is exposed.

Well put.
In regards you latter two points, I think there can be and
generally are coexisting 'admixtures'
of the two -- the 'arising' of people's 'familiarity' in this regard is often painfully slow/partial. As a result of their
still partially
selfishly biased calculus in the foregoing regards, those who do 'progress' in this regard, often do so periodically regressive, learning the ‘hard’ way, fashion! -- from
selfish, to familial, to clannish, to tribal, to ethnographic, to anthropocentric, and (finally) to cosmically all-inclusive, completely self-transcendent psychospiritual ‘i’dentifications. It is over the course of reincarnation-journey 'filled'
learning that souls
increasingly think, feel and believe and
so more and more conscientiously act knowing that, though each and every individual and group is unique and so differs from others in significant ways, one’s ‘self’ and all other ‘selves’ are really integral aspects of Life’s Flow and so, despite apparent differences, we are
all interconnected, related/relating aspects of the
same (pertaining to the Universe we are in, at least) Cosmic Being-Doing, which is
Life Itself in
action!
