Steve,

All is not One. It is a unitive one, whole. And, as is the case with all wholes, it is a reality greater than the sum of its parts. The tao that can be numbered is not the eternal Tao.

All is not an illusion. The illusion is thinking anything is separate from the whole. The thinking that all is an illusion is most often used as a copout for expediency.

Jesus was not a Christian. All he did was go about each day doing good. (If you ask me what "good" is I will give you a nice Hawaiian Punch). His life was anything but spiritually correct. He was far more interested in internal realities than external ones. In the heart than in superficialities. I go to church every Sunday because I raise a little hell on Saturday.

"The Love/Religion has no code or doctrine. Only Love." Rumi

The master sages are grounded in love... sometimes tough love too.... tough love is a kick in the ass when we are constipated.
