While universality as an experience is a tremendous and life changing experience, universality as an intellectual idea is no more damaging than any other intellectual idea. An intellectual idea can be an alternative to experiential reality, and it can be an entry point. You never know. In those times that I experience universality as my reality, I feel the universality/oneness/union in my being, and I feel a harmony with all that is. That experience and reminding myself of universality help me move toward and stay in the experience of universality.
