Here is a series of writings on this from a series of Buddhist writers that might fit the audience a bit better:

Unfortunately with almost all this stuff you realise quickly it’s been written by someone with an understanding of nonduality, which makes it not so useful to anyone who doesn’t. Which is almost everyone.. I mean, we can actually explain fairly simply once you understand it but for anyone who hasn’t spent two years on the cushion it’s indecipherable. Saying “I am every cup of tea and lion” maybe makes sense to me, but probably not to others?

I wish we had a way to communicate this stuff better, we’ve been trying for a long time..

I share your wish, but I think that a big part of this is actually only understandable through experience.

Just like you cannot really describe an unknown taste to someone, or describe colors to a blind person, etc.

Apparently there is some work with transcranial ultrasound that can instantaneously turn hallucinations on and off…
