So again, without direct realisation, all we have are some nice ideas.

Hi Iamthat
I was confused for a moment between the ‘that’ and the ‘it’ - I thought that you were arguing with yourself (cue nonduality cliche 167,
Who else?) :)
Yes to what you write here - and your previous post. Personally I’m not keen on the word ‘Self’ to describe Oneness - but that’s just my own personal bias (there are no truly satisfying designations - including Oneness.) (I can feel a thread coming on.)
