Lawson, there's a wonderful tape in which someone asks Maharishi if in Unity a
person could marry anyone. Maharishi laughs and then explains that differences
don't disappear in Unity. It's just that they no longer dominate awareness.

Yep. I was curious about that when he said it, as I wasn't sure what sort of
perceptual change would occur, perhaps even through the senses. It is actually
the introduction of an ever deepening and abiding silence, inside and out,
which unifies all the diversity, and even softens any negative
Fleetwood, I had an experience of Unity once. But it wasn't so much about
silence. It was so subtly about familiarity. Everything I was perceiving seemed
so familiar to me. Not because it was known in the usual sense. But because it
was as familiar to me as I am to myself. Very very subtle, yet
yeah, that is what I call silence, or bliss, I don't know what else to call it
- it has a lot of attributes, and you use a great word for it - familiarity.
That being the case, knowledge automatically follows attention; there are no
boundaries to formally navigate, between subject and object,
