I’ve had multiple religious experiences (total reality dissolution, contact with seeming entities of infinite benevolence etc.) and I guess I’m just narcissistic enough to still be a Quinean naturalist and say ‘yep, that is also me.’
I’d say I basically endorse Theory M already? I posit that words (and images, and felt senses) are low dimensional projections of many-dimensional objects.
I’m reducing my subjective probability that you will abandon rationality...
I suppose what you are attempting is similar to what Buddha did in the first place. The sages of his time must have felt pained to see their beautiful non-dualism sliced and diced into mass-produced sutras, rather than the poems and songs and mythology which were, up until then, the usual vehicle of expression for these truths.

Considering God to be part of yourself is very elevated and good. The only problem is the things that you don’t consider to be part of yourself. So I guess what I am saying is that you should amplify your narcissism :)

yeah, intimacy with aversions is one decent compression of the path.
