Hi Eric,

Regarding Rawn's comments below, I found a link (thanks Adrian) 
which gives a very nice analogy of a crystal that helps in 
understanding this relationship. It shows not only that the personal 
self is not lost, but that it's impossible, because it is already an 
integral part of the greater. The only(!) thing WE have to do is to 
expand our own awareness to encompass a greater field of vision of 
ourselves - which is ultimately encompassed by the All of which we 
are a part - from a single point, to a one dimensional line of 
points, to a two dimensional plane and to the whole crystal's three-
dimensional truth.

Anyway, read the article and comment if it helps any.

Best wishes,
Julia

from the Greater perspective, their totality is 
perceived/experienced simultaneous to their moment-to-moment 
existence.
