As long as you have not unified within yourself the dual and non-dual paths,
Everything you call “experience of the divine” is mere projection
and everything you call “breakthroughs of consciousness” is the expression of spiritual snobbery in one form or another (assertion via an exotic detour).

Is not a unified path inevitably « non-dual »? Is a dualistic path only deceptively integrated?

I do agree with your first point.
Regarding your second question : couldn’t we consider that what is called here ‘deceptive’ integration is in reality a proto-integration ?

The difference being?

a more neutral phrasing, maybe…I don’t know
‘Deceptive’ meaning there is an intention to fool others
(as in deceptive advertising ??)
Which is not the case, as we may only be dealing with knowledge/wisdom naturally unfolding and appearing as ‘ignorance’ or ‘deception’ inits earlier forms.
Being fooled is the necessary step before being found (?)
Amazing grace…

As an adjective, or in the passive voice, « deceptive » or « to be deceived » carries no necessary implication of intent, to my mind.
An inaccurate appreciation is deceptive whether or not it arises from malice, ignorance, or self-delusion.

I was not aware of this.
My answer, then, is:
No difference
