"Who" will be left to contemplate or discuss these ponderable you (individual not plural) put forth? ;)

There are grounded, manifest reasons why we discuss from the perspective of individuated consciousness. Mainly having to do that the level to which you refer will not be consciously experienced by any of us for any meaningful length of time. Meaning, for any span of time in which we can also function in this physical realm.

Therefore the most meaningful strides or movements toward centre lie in real, manifest, actualized behavior and perspectives centred in authentic love (reflecting Love or One). Authentic love as lovingkindness from equanimity. Karma is relevant in this broad context and can be apprehended and realised and manifested at both individual and collective levels.

At the level of One, you could say nothing is relevant, including karma. Or I could say everything is relevant, including karma. Either way, we can say very little else about it except that, as Buddha said, (we can strive to) know the emptiness, but do not dwell there. So IMO discussions where we actually suppose that we (as individuated consciousness who exist in interbeing with all that is) apprehend emptiness in any depth or breadth are pleasant and inspiring but usually fairly short.

Peace & blessings
