Idealism for transcedentlists like Emerson is about balancing between the material world and the sprititual one. It is about universal ideas which make you transcend time and space to attain metaphysical cosciousness and immortality. Do you agree with what they say do you think it is true or not( idealism) and why you think that?

Based on your limited discription and not familiar with all of emersons work, An based on my experience, to attain the awareness of, an the experience of our total unity with God is to Die the "one appointed death" of the sense of individual self.leaving only GOD. It is not enough to see the light one must become "IT". I have experienced seeing this sense of reality. The highest truth is "GOD DWELLS WITHIN YOU AS YOU" all of creation is but a very,very sophisticated holographic expression of Gods vision of him self.

Any form of idealism is an illusion. You must contend only with what you experience.
