There being no ‘me’ separate from ‘He’ is the limited flickering glimpse of realisation the limited me has.
The clue as comprehensible to the thinking mind is this: attention flows indivisibly in quanta or packets of linear time. For example, when we are in rage, for that duration, that quanta of time, there is no separate identity. Only pure rage exists. The same goes for any other vibration with which our attention resonates. Lust is an easily understood example.
Now, when we stretch the quanta of time ... the contradiction of this preamble is obvious ... if there is no identity in the time quanta, introduction of a thought by a doer interferes with the quanta and so breaks the flow. So, the non-doer ‘doing’, actually a becoming, requires mind to vaporise.
What this means, is that during meditation (which should actually transition into an ever present permanent orientation) after the basics of observing thoughts rise & fade, we are poised as awareness without thought. Unexpectant with even memory imagery of past meditation set aside. We are not there. Or we may say, we are there as awareness alone.
But all this is familiar territory.
The ‘meaty’ part happens automatically by divine grace. Obviously, since the identity doer isn’t doing, it has to be automatic! We may say, we are still and yet there is a mover. That is God.
What does this mean? The vaporisation of mind-body means that we disappear fully. Not in parts. Not with oscillation. Completely. We be to become bliss. No space or time. Nothing else exits. We are bliss, self-existent.
Now, obviously we cannot get back here to tell this tale, since we are not there ... remember? How do we get back then? Again, divine grace. God.
This Samādhi like becoming is true oneness with bliss or God in fullness. Yet, hang on! It is a glimpse. Not that we should complain, since the bliss becomes an embodiment of our being resident in mind-body in permanence.
The scriptures say that bliss is one of the limbs of Shiva, so to speak. The others being imaginal interpretations of will, knowledge, power, creativity ... all under a single label of consciousness. Or we may say, divine energy, which is Love absolute.
Just as the word ‘bliss’ conveys nothing to the one who has not so become, likewise, the other aspects that make us spherically whole (though each ‘attribute’ is full in itself), are but words which limited mind interprets as of flawed imagination.
I don’t know if I’ve answered your question or not.
