Agreed, but unfortunately, on a site dedicated to non-duality and where there are so many who claim realizations, what is discussion to be about something which in fact cannot be really be discussed? I do wish there were more interesting topics of discussion and disagreement, though. And sure, more tact and friendship might be nice sometimes.
1. THIS/Reality/Source/GodWhateverwewanttocallit is infinite and unified.
2. A sense of separation or sense of personal selfhood is an illusion.
3. There is no real birth or death.
4. Awareness is foundational.
5. THIS can be apprehended but it cannot be intellectually comprehended.
6. Time, space, causality, thingness, etc. are cognitive grids--a kind of intellectual abstract net projected upon THIS
7. No words can ever capture or accurately describe THIS. Words and the ideas they represent can only be used to point to THIS.
8. It is possible for a human being to attain peace, freedom, and equanimity if there is a sufficient depth of realization.
9. Non-abidance in mind is possible.
10. Thinking tends to obscure THIS.
11. A felt sense of oneness/unity/communion with THIS or as THIS is possible.
But that's a Vedantic "jnana yoga" approach... I'm sure Zen would not approve
