Great post, Michael
Taking it a step further, we are that Absoluteness at all times. Or we may say, when we remove that which is not, we become the all, which we already were and are.
To justify this assertion, consider experiences when we become the breath of God in all forms or recognise that we are not in the universe but rather, the universe is within us. We cannot get to where we already are not. Thus it is clear, we already are That and that all of manifestation is but a thought projection. Drop thought and everything disappears, revealing what always is.
