— Tat Tvam Asi
Chandogya • Upanishad 6.8.7

ALL THIS IS THAT

— Sarvaṃ khalvidaṁ Brahm

There is no satisfactory way to explain being;
it can only be experienced.
“I AM THAT I AM” is not really a statement of being;
it is the conscious base of being that needs no explanation.¹

— Richard Booker

‘Consciousness’ is a [non-religious],
scientific way of referring to Totality:

One without a Second,
which—from a religious point of view—
we refer to as God.²

— Steve Sufian
