I think it is a very good explanation, JJH.
That is also why, if we can achieve and sustain that expanded awareness, then we realise that in the end, everything comes down to love. Because every person in your reality is created by you. If you like, you were also created by every person in your reality. Either way, you are everyone, and everyone is you. Everything is interconnected.
When you hate anyone, you therefore hate yourself, in a sense. If you love anyone, you are loving yourself.
That is why in the end, all religions teach love, forgiveness etc.
Achieving and sustaining that expanded awareness is however the challenge. Sometimes I am a very nice guy - the kind who runs across the road to help a blind old lady cross back. At other times, however, I'm still a mean old bastard.

I shall not give examples.
