So I have apparently confused myself on this distinction. It appears
that in Unity we see everything in terms of ourselves, and in
Brahman, there is fundamentally no 'our self'. Or alternatively,
there is one Self: Brahman. Period. The creation has the
overwhelming characteristic of Wholeness and perfection.
So what is Unity? Paradoxically, there appears to be a duality in
Unity because of *the sense of perception of Oneness*, the
perception of Unity.
Whereas in Brahman, there is no perception of Unity, there is just
*being* Brahman.
Is that correct? Although I have experienced Unity several times, I
am not 100% clear about the distinction of Unity and Brahman.
