I just asked myself, “Is Alberto going deeper and deeper, or higher and higher”. I answered myself, “Both”, with the caveat that you have been this way all along, and I am just getting to know you better. This article nicely interprets Ram Doss.
My daring disagreement is with Doss’s interpretation of the sixth stage. This is contrary to everything I know about the eternal nature of Source, the All. Nothing about Source just evaporates into nothingness. Infinite All never began anything but manifestation. It had no beginning as “All”, and has no end.
I think of stage six as being better described by “Everything as One” rather than “nothingness”. There has never been “nothingness”, and never will be.
Here is where my so limited reasoning left brain shorts out. This is for me an incomprehensible Truth. “The finite cannot comprehend the infinite”. We cannot grasp that which has no end points, no sides, no limitations. Imagine a stick with no ends in whatever direction it is pointed. Every place we grasp it is in the middle. It is not a closed loop, which has limits.
All we can do is go as far as we can into this eternal koan, then hand the subject over to our right brain which contains the doorway to wordless Mystery. The Mystery resides in Light, which is Love/Truth. Descriptive words do not apply beyond that abstraction.
Thank you again for beautiful journey into Truth, according to a gifted man, Ram Doss.
