Non-Duality (instant Enlightenment)

[Ming the Merciful]

I'm not exactly sure that I AM is just an illusion. I feel the illusion is within the spirit and not the other way. So there's a sacred aspect to the nature of ones being.

Perhaps we are all observing wrongly? If, according to Hindu and Buddhist Tradition, "We" are a natural part of the "Universal Consciousness". Then when we lose the "I AM", have we not already reunited with Universal Consciousness. My only complaint with Jim Newman, he is only observing on an Intellectual level, and so his thesis is incomplete. If he was also observing on Intuitive Mind, (and the Higher State), could he be misunderstanding something? If in the State of "No Mind", and the "I AM" is consumed by Universal Consciousness, it changes everything. Then the I AM does not exist.
