I agree, but by "we" I feel it includes all humans. I somehow cannot take it that a select few have some extra ability to know the true nature of this world. If they really had such an ability, it would have been a science by itself and not just left in metaphysical realms of thought. I feel such feelings are beautiful like poetry, but are nothing but an extension of human imagination.
All humans are one with all there is, if they know it or not, its just that some people have had a deep inner experience of that oneness, they are no closer to that oneness than anyone else, but they have again experienced it. The mind cannot understand this, so it can never become a true science, and those who have experienced this can only point to that which is......and that's about it.

False dichotomy.
Yes that's true, only because you are seeing it from your mind, again, the mind can never get it.
