Muttley:
In one sense, the question of sentience is entirely misconceived. There are unusual states of consciousness that reveal that "the entire Universe is alive". There is a literal and visceral truth to not-two. Object boundaries really are nothing but a contrivance of mind. Don't expect me to prove this to ya' though.

Yes! And SR transcends all/any 'state'....SR reveals that the experienced "Alive/intelligent/conscious" Universe, is but an appearance arising within/to the unwavering ground that never appears....never 'itself' shifts or changes, even as it expresses as that which appears/changes.
I think right there is the mistake that ZD/Reefs make; They have conceptualized "It's all One," to mean that abiding ground "becomes" non-abiding/limited/bounded....in that, limitation/objects/things are reified as "actual/fundamental/inherently/independently existent."
This is the "extension of Source" model, whereby "inherent existence" is imagined to be passed on through TO an object/thing, via an imaginary sort of "tether/connection."
Fundamentally there is One thingless/thing, but that does not mean that temporally apparent things/objects, in and of themselves, have fundamental existence.
