**** The way you express Unity consciousness could be also understood this way: In unity consciousness the differentiation between the flower, the process of seeing the flower and that which sees the flower is not there and possible. What a mess. That is the reality of a new born baby. I would describe Unity consciousness like this: In Unity consciousness it is seen and felt that the one who sees, the process of seeing and the seen are not independent and separate processes or entities from each other.
