I think there are many levels at which SR can be experienced, and the confusion creeps in when we start mixing them or think we are at one level when we are actually at another.
For the super spiritually advanced, I think they are (partially) experiencing non-dual awareness, which is awareness with no subject/object. At that point, there is only "you", there is no world or person or thought or even reality (although to normal perception, there is). There is no more "reality" to perceive or experience or create, there is just this non-dual awareness that you know as your Self. I myself haven't experienced this level yet (or even the 2nd level below), but I know other people are. This is probably the highest level of experiencing SR, which by reading some of the posts here, I think a few people are starting to get into.
For the spiritually advanced, people are fully experiencing IM/LoA in full-force, i.e continuous synchronicity. The mind is purified so much that things automatically manifest with little to no delay. Whatever you think of or feel, you automatically see the reflection out there in the world. This is where you see perception automatically creating/manifesting reality. This is the second level, which I believe many people (and growing) are experiencing.
For the spiritually conscious, people are seeing IM/LoA in limited instances. The mind still isn't purified enough to experience SR fully, but it is enough for bits and pieces of it to come through. This is where you see how our perception/interpretation "colors"/interprets what is reality, and is one degree lower than actually shaping reality. This is the third level, which most people on this forum is starting from.
This is just how I decided to separate the levels, it's actually more like a continuum. The trick is to accurately assess where you really are, where you should be going, and how to get from where you are to where you should be
