I respect what you offer, yet my point was not from parā but from the point of view of aparā. Here there is diversity for the viewer, for the pāsu. It is from here this string was initially oriented. Hense comparing and contrasting different notions.
You mention all is śiva - of this I have no doubt. If we look to abhinavagupta's work parā-trīśikā vivaraṇa, he offers the following: yatsattatparamārthohi paramārthastataḥ śivaḥ
That which is Existence (sattā) is the highest (param) Reality, the Universe is of the nature of that Reality, therefore everything is śivaḥ
I will let these ideas rest for another time. Thank you for your input.

Reason: spelling edit
यतस्त्वं शिवसमोऽसि
yatastvaṁ śivasamo'si
because you are identical with śiva
