A unified energetic awareness. Beyond after birth mind and the separating of yin and yang in physical reality. When we are being and non being at the same time. Beyond birth and death ( being separated) and the mental illness that creates for humanity. I would say that is only a little closer to being ONE with the Tao but the Tao comes before one. Beyond can be misleading as well. I believe its more like remembering what we forgot once we got all thrilled with a body and the outside world. This is the truth and not at all at the same time. Life is that cool with us.
