Before resonance with All Is One the seeker may have encountered the idea but the mind did not recognise it as a suitable solution for the character it serves because the mind has been conditioned to believe that enlightenment requires something to be done or realized. In this scenario the mind selects a path with a practise in accordance with that conditioning. The character may be quite happy on such a path and feel it is getting somewhere. This may go on for a lifetime. It is not until the path is given up (trancended) by the resonance with All is One, that the feeling of disconnection ends or is at least glimpsed. After the initial resonance (the dividing line) things change for the seeker. There may be a period of consolidation if the mind has doubts about the acceptability of All Is One, particularly the difficulty of including suffering as Oneness manifest. If the resonance is strong enough, all will be included and the process completed. If not strong enough Oneness is rejected and the seeker may return to a spiritual path or remain dissolusioned. But the head is in the Tigers mouth so they say and there will be a return to All Is One until the consolidation. This to and fro may go on and on until the process is complete. It must be said however that seekers are in no way disconnected from Oneness during this process, for both the seeker and the process are already Oneness in Action.

Hi Syncro.
Practise suits some characters but not all for reasons mentioned in earlier posts.
If Enlightenment is a state of total trancendance then at some point spiritual paths and practises for the purpose of connection have to be trancended as well. That may happen after one has been on a path and practising for varying periods of time.
If Non Duality is the idea resonated with, the need for a path and practise is trancended immediatly because all is already One and perfect as it is, so increasing connection to that Oneness is impossible. It is the only idea on offer in the spiritual supermarket (buy one get one free:) that requires nothing for total connection, no change whatsoever. so obviously a path or practise is not required.
That may be unacceptable to some characters for reasons mentioned elsewhere in this thread principally that all suffering, its victims and perpetrators, must also be Oneness in action. Also it will of course not work for characters who feel there is something lacking and are willing to embrace a path and/or practise which promises to correct whatever that lack might be.
