One more thing I will add that may clarify what I mean is when Jesus said "I am the truth, the life, and the way, no one comes to the father except through me. " he was not talking about his self entity but the light of his that sees and experiences through him.
It's very much like a zen koan. In fact when I read the Bible it's full of koans. I grew up catholic so I've read the Bible quite a bit. Reading and copying revelations after getting in trouble for asking questions they couldn't answer in Sunday school when I was 11 was one of the first times a samadhi experience happened to me.
The way I see it all religion is pointing at the same non-conceptual reality but using concepts to do it. Concepts about God is where they disagree in my experience. But God is by definition not conceptual. God represents what is actual of the reality under the vestment.
