I appreciate all you've said and am in no way doubting your unshakeable Faith nor have such desire. If anything, mine is merely a perspective that I am sharing for folks to ponder, so a success.

Honestly, I didn't invent the common idiom of "God's eye view" which is merely a type of looking from outside or above. Some could call it the mind's eye as well. Native Americans place the eagle at the top of totem poles because of it's higher perspective on the world. When I ask one to look down on our galaxy we have to use the mind's eye but we can look at other galaxies in all their glory. All I say is to be honest you have to include all of that in your considerations of Reality. To not do so is delusional.

Unfortunately, even if I myself have been visited by archangels and can tell you with self-certainty you would be right to doubt me having not experienced it yourself. If I told others that for many months I've been having conversations or receiving dictation from above I might be committed or ridiculed in today's world and movies have even been made about this. But if I told you it happened centuries ago to another man then we become more accepting, especially if a rich tradition was built upon that story.

As for "spiritual baskets" what you have mentioned are cultural traditions or dogmas and in fact Hindu and others are not Monotheist but Polytheist and some are Atheist. In Reality, there are 8 billion spiritual baskets because each individual must resolve these things for themselves and no two will feel or think the exact same thing.

As for not mentioning the Quran specifically, nor The Prophet, it is out of respect and also caution because I've seen what happens to people who question these things receiving the wrath of Fatwahs and Fanatics so why bother? I am happy for each person to think their own way even if I disagree with something such as forcing women to wear burkahs, This is really my only complaint about any religion is when it becomes a means to power over others in the name of God. Once you accept that, you can justify nearly anything, including great cruelty.

I stand by my perspective that God is an equal-opportunity communicator and that we ALL receive this every minute of every day, not just on Sundays or Saturdays or in the Mosque. It's not even odd to me that the One God could manifest as many gods and angels in an almost infinite tree of Divinity. We all choose which branch we will land on but it's the same Sacred Tree of Life.
