Maybe it's so difficult to define the Wall because in reality there is no wall - only your /our perception of the Wall...or how the Wall should be.
After all, we are all thinking in human terms.
The only reason we understand a wall to be a wall is because we have been told that's it is.
So we apply that logic in a metaphorical sense - which I don't think we can do.
The Many and the One/Source are the same...like a rope that has frayed.
There's only a separation or a decision to separate because we are applying human thinking to it.
The only other analogy I can think of (which probably only look right in my head) is -
Imagine the Source as an insect. That insect possesses 'feelers' to enable it to experience or interact with it's environment...to enhance its experience if you will.
Maybe we are those 'feelers', directly connected to the insect/Source, in order to enhance the experience.
There is a direct connection - no gaps in the information...ie - no Wall.
Going back to topic - we only think a Wall exists or should exist only because we perceive it to.
Sorry if that was rambling...!
Much love...

Let me apply some 'listening skills" -
Why do I get some sense of being slightly patronised by the above????
Maybe that's just me incorrectly inferring your words...apologies of that is the case.

The challenge: Define a wall.
How? Define that wall...

Before you think that is too scientifically simple, try it this way.... in the beginning...
There is only LIFE.
LIFE is a single dimension.
Some may think all is connected, no WE are all ONE DIMENSION of LIFE. That being a simply truth that WE EXIST. And, that being the ONLY fact you have and only thing you could prove because you can think to yourself that WE EXIST as LIFE. (etc).... LIFE EXISTS.
In the beginning, LIFE created a wall...
We as this LIFE needed to somehow separate each of ourselves from this SINGLE DIMENSION of LIFE into individualism of WE....

If you can do that, then define a solid physical wall.
