Ah, but in that quote you pulled out you omitted the next thing I said

“In my own personal experience, coming to terms with the idea that all of this is an illusion has been very liberating. The less seriously we are able to take the illusion, the more easily we are able to have fun while we are still seemingly here.”

This is an illusion just as dreams are illusions; illusions are like cosmic temper tantrums where we say, I want to be separate and special; I want to be a dualist. And as far as what is Logical and Illogical depends on how we warp the data. The theory you are describing as my theory is your theory of my theory. For instance, nowhere in my theory do I call it “God's "mistake". The mistake was impossible and so never really happened; God is what makes it not a mistake; only in the mind of the stubborn dreamer, afraid of its convoluted idea of oneness, does it seem to be real. Also nowhere in my theory is “the OUC being an indifferent, stagnant, delusional entity trapped in a nightmare”. Nor do I call it the OUC. I say consciousness is part of the illusion. Unified and consciousness together is an oxymoron because consciousness requires an observer and observed, which is a sense of disunity. Believe me, I understand where you are coming from, because for a period of time, due to the literature I was most influenced by at the time, I entertained the view you are expounding; but for me, over time I found it dissatisfying and was ready for a better way. What theory you or I work off of though doesn’t really matter, whatever particular perspective helps us to be evermore happy, caring people, as opposed to afraid and resentful, is what counts. Our seeming disagreement is just part of this dualistic world and I’m not going to take the bait; our disagreement is an illusion. My objective is to find the cleanest, simplest, straightest path, as opposed to the one where I indulge in duality for a longer amount of time. If I assign too much value to the dream then I’ll keep on dreaming longer and I'm don't really want to; the best stuff in the dream is a pale joke relative to oneness. There are many paths with various lengths, but the destination is the same. Peace.
