Interesting. I will ponder this of course, try to understand what you guys mean, and what exactly I can not fully grasp. The question that I had though was:
So if we put aside the catalyst, but focus on the line of thought going like: "You are not this or that feeling, or this or that thought", while Ra says that you are all that. (I am not talking about body/mind, music/clothes.) Then GLB says:
I think that our misunderstanding, or non understanding, comes from while I regard that you are the sky, you have to realize/understand all those little water particles that builds up that cloud which you are in this given moment, and then the cloud itself, and then the sky, while I think that what you guys are saying that you are not these water particles, or the cloud, but the whole sky. So I say "sure, you are the sky, but the sky contains all these little things", and you say "sure, but you are not these particles". What I means is that all the little particles, or fractions, are part of what you are. But of course, you are an infinite Creator/Creation. If that makes sense... =)

You are separate from all other clouds and operate independently of the sky. To disidentify is to pull back the awareness so that you stop investing the cloud with your total identity. You realize that you are the sky.
That act of disidentification, and differentiation between your larger nature (sky) and limited nature (cloud), is essential to realize that you are the sky.
THEN, upon releasing the finite identity, you see that you are the sky and all that arises within the sky. Because you are no longer limited to that one small cloud, you see that you include ALL clouds, and all things that arise in the sky.
