Oh my god...are you serious !? Forget religion. CC = Experience and Realization that you are more than small localised self, but big Self too. GC = Experience and Realization that what you are experiencing as Self is Divine (and bliss) UC = Realization by the Intellect (Buddh) that the unification (through love in the heart) experienced in GC is not an illusion, and that indeed, Thou art That. "Tat Twam Asi" BC = The realization and experience of all existence, even that at the furthest reaches of the universe (Jyotish: "Far away I see myself...reverberating") is nothing other than the reverbarations of your own consciousness.
