My, my, you have put a lot of brain activity into that Dev !! I imagine so, anyway, unless you just rattled it off in an afternoon ? (doubtful,,,,,,,). It is quite a lot for the left half of my brain to take in. Well done, sir. It is most informative ! I shall study it several times.
Since you did touch on non-duality, here's my two pennies worth:
Imagine that this world and universe is a fantastic Virtual Reality - an amazing Holodeck which operates in every way, via systematic scientific physical laws of causality, like a totally real Game. Now this Snakes and Ladders kind of game has the way of escape to the true and liberating higher and permanent bliss states of Sat Chit Ananda, In other words there are unseen laws at work, as well as the physically measurable ones we have discovered in science and engineering etc
One learns from one who has already learned.
One thing which I learned from a meditation master was : 'Observe this physical life you are in, but do not identify with it'. Other teachers such as Paramahansa Yogananda have said (between 1930 and 1952) : 'This world is a Cosmic Motion Picture Show' ' Get to the source of the projector beam' 'Be in this world but not of it' Play your part wisely on the stage of life - you are both an actor and a member of the audience, but never neglect your very deep meditation/communion with the creator. Earn your necessary money well. Try to live an uncomplicated life with enough time daily for meditation practices where you experience true communion with the All That, To get too drawn into the world can mean getting drawn into lots of excitement/dramas which are usually ego-based unconscious mind games; The name of the game of life is ultimately to be able to escape the cycle of constant rebirth into physical form and instead rise to higher dimensions - since being alive in this physical and biological world is a struggle which ends in death and separation from loved ones. It is a 'Boot Camp' for tough karma change, if you want to take that challenge, that is the offer always available. It ain't no picnic. Neither is climbing a mountain. So try to learn the lessons you came here to learn and take the road that for you leads to emanicipation ( ie Ego Death = true joy, peace and liberation through realizing that ultimately you are everything, yet evrything is so much bigger and beautiful than you thought).
And here I feel it relevant to mention 'The Law of One' books and YouTube vids. Apologies for seemingly wandering off topic. Put it down to Lockdown isolation ?
The western mind always wants to analyse. If you accept that Life is a mystery, as taught by the eastern masters of consciousness, like Osho, you will understand that some things are unknowable; that is my stance.
Do you any materials on consciousness and romantic love? Particularly with reference to the natural connection we feel with some people and not with others? Cheers
Perhaps a purer intro to The Law of One is this YouTube vid which features a member of the original three people experiencing the Ra Law of One material as channelled by Carla Ruckhart
( If you are interested you can take it further and follow the links from the video. The channelling came through painfully slowly - one word at at time and long sentences, and it gave amazing and complex answers to scientific a philosophical questions put by the questioner, Don Elkins, PhD ).
I find it all most interesting, although I can only take it in small doses at the moment. It just seems relevant to any discussion today about the nature of consciousness, since humanity is apparently in the process of evolving higher awareness, as I think we all know. We might see some very positive things happening in the world over the coming years ( the transition for our panet will take 100 - 700 years to complete, we are told by Ra).
Awesome to see your thoughts on consciousness, Devaraj. Have you heard of the Qualia Research Institute? Sounds like you align quite well with their philosophies.

Just to add to my last post, at the end, here is a handy intro to The Law of One
