You see, I have never seen "ultimate reality" used in the context of which you speak, in terms of union with Brahman, only as an expression of that which is experienced when the mond is not clinging to notions of "me" and "mine".

I have, but not as a Buddhist idea. As an expression of the mind not clinging, it is at best confusing and misleading. Non-clinging is not an alternate reality from a reality in which one clings to phenomena (i.e., "provisional/etc reality" vs. "Ultimate Reality"), it is the same reality and what has changed is our reaction. Very simple and no need to cloud the matter with vague terms.
