There is a way for you to experience it first hand. Its like when you do your meditation. But I think you might think it is not an actually experience/realize them to contemplate further until there is no more doubts remains.

I did that for many years and my mind contemplate about it like a meditation then one day out from no where while sitting in the coffeeshop and drinking my milk of tea, and I wasn't even contemplating about the it, suddenly my mind and my whole being was connected to the surrounding around me, above and below me. I felt like one and whole, like all of us came from the same Source. The feeling of joy, peace and I felt like I was like at 'HOME' with all of them.
Thanks. i haven't had the direct experience of what you mentioned. Yes, i am able to retract to the source on most occasion through meditation and experience the pure consciousness but that's as far as i go. Although i believe what you have described and your description is similar to what ajahn chah and many zen master described but it remains a mere concept to me since it's not experienced directly.

I do hope one day, i will be able to directly experienced what you have described.

yes, this is a kind of meditation state. Joy peace compassion kindness wisdom all arises from such awareness.

This is what I did...

Take any book, as for my case, the first book I took was a holy scripture book, then other holy scripture books and after that then I took general non-fiction books..

While reading those books, as I read, I will visualized myself, listening to his/her voice speaking to the audiences within my mind. I am amongst the audience, watching and listening to him/her. This is to see and understand in whatever period of time in history the language style of communication in usage. Ancient books way of writing are different from our modern style of writing.

Then the next step, I visualized myself, I am that voice talking within his/her mind and that individual will communicate to the audiences according to my voice word for word within his/her head.

Similar to all other religions, just that instead of a fixed mantra/prayer, they replace it with a song that connects their child to them.

In Tibetian practices, we also hear about skillful yogi/lama going into deep meditation and come out with a mantra.
The author of the book, A Path With Heart, is a Buddhist Monk.

In your case, it’s sort of using visualization as a form of support for meditation and connecting your mind via your visualizations.

Yes. At the same time after doing that I would contemplate on the content and its meaning all day too and before going to sleep. Like questioning myself why this and why that to seek for the answer.
