Sorry if this is a bit scattered/confusing but its how I am seeing it...and being confused by it

Welcome P & D

Sure, what you have posted certainly represents the various kinds of views and teachings found in the different and varied schools of Buddhism about samsara.

As these views represent the different opinions and teachings of different groups and sects, one is inevitably bound to get confused.

I can only suggest you examine and ask yourself what are your personal goals in relation to Buddhism and then choose the kind of teaching or school that suits your personal goals.

All the best
