I Am That That I Am, I am <strong>the</strong> mind and <strong>the</strong> mind is a<br />
Ray <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Absolute</strong>.<br />
Zen Buddhism: Your own mind is <strong>the</strong> Buddha,<br />
(consciousness).<br />
We are all reflected <strong>Rays</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Absolute</strong>.<br />
Appearing on itself,<br />
“As If” it were not itself, The <strong>Absolute</strong>.<br />
I am that <strong>Absolute</strong> without <strong>the</strong> concept <strong>of</strong> beginning<br />
middle and end.<br />
I Am That That I Am without <strong>the</strong> concept <strong>of</strong> form or<br />
emptiness, yet I am form and emptiness and nei<strong>the</strong>r.<br />
Buddhism The Heart Sutra: “Form is emptiness,<br />
emptiness is form.”<br />
The <strong>Absolute</strong> is form-emptiness-consciousness.<br />
Form-emptiness-consciousness are <strong>Rays</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Absolute</strong>.<br />
Since <strong>the</strong>y are both <strong>the</strong> same, <strong>the</strong>n nei<strong>the</strong>r are.<br />
There is only <strong>the</strong> <strong>Absolute</strong>.<br />
The <strong>Absolute</strong> is <strong>the</strong> Void <strong>of</strong> Void.<br />
I Am That That I Am <strong>the</strong>re is no knower/known/or<br />
knowledge/knowing.<br />
Nisargadatta Maharaj:<br />
“Nothing is.”<br />
I am <strong>the</strong> <strong>Absolute</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Absolute</strong> I am, without any ways<br />
<strong>of</strong> being or associations.<br />
Yet I am all ways <strong>of</strong> being and all associations.<br />
