I must admit I get confused by the term God realized and even to a lesser degree enlightenment.

Im comfortable with being a wave of the Divine ocean and simply I see it that the wave can say honestly that it is one with the ocean but is not the ocean, I can see that it is ok for the ocean to say it is every wave of the ocean.
I accept that enlightenment is removal of ignorance -- all of it.

I find it a little hard to understand though I dont doubt Hawkins when he says. "Only God walks through the final door of enlightenment."

He is also saying that that level of enlightenment occurs when all that is not God is removed.

He is not claiming to be Ultimate God (My way of expressing) and he is devoted to God.
Every lecture starts and ends Gloria in Excelsis Deo ( Glory to God in the highest?)
That seems to be dualistic but I feel it isent.
So I would appreciate clarification on these points , also Jesus saying " You are Gods etc"
