Well, it's really more a case of experience than understanding, my friend. No one can possibly replicate the experience they've had of merging within the unified field of singular consciousness. Words don't capture the essence of the unity of all things, however, there is an amazing experience to be had... although, transient and impermanent said epiphany may in fact, ultimately be.

And sure, it cannot be properly encapsulated with human linguistics, as has been wisely stated within this thread. I honesty feel that it is more than fair to say that while the journey is an individual one, the dynamics are wholly epic and are most universal. Again, we cannot contain the vast and boundless expanse of the totality of the Omniverse, for we fail when we expect the Grand Mystery to be encoded wholly in worded symbolism.

That being said, one can certainly choose to see things in an appearance of sequential unfoldings. What is impermanent may be illusory and it's very reality hinging on the subjectivity of the witness observing the parameters existing within the particular view of the very same, shared field. What it appears to be, or is imagined to be, is mirrored within one's own unique dreamscape, one's own transitory lens of observation.

Ergo, this tremendous sensation of singularity necessitates a freeze in the subject-object dichotomy. Mind must stop differentiation about the diversity and duality of appearances, in allowance for merging in seamless unity and being the same as the other, reflectively (as one's mesmerism of ego-self noisily dreams on and on, ad infinitum). Meanwhile, a Buddha awakens to glean a remembrance of an absolute silence and willingly melts into the interconnection with the immeasurable emptiness.


Great points to query and discuss. As far as non-self or zero-self goes... the dream of individuality is transitory and rather compressed, at that. As we expand our conscious-awareness, we interphase with the Grid, Chrysanthemum or Web of an Indivisible, vortexial fulcrum. Ego-death or stasis of self, occurs to allow for a shift in one's view into things.

All we know is that we are all here NOW. Time marches on and on, change is the only constant... but we are still right here, conscious of having an awareness of being existent. Does it ever really begin and end? Sure, this is simply our relative perspective. Even so, by expanding and broadening this small perspective, we each may arrive at the point of loosing ourselves in the crystalline singularity of the One. "I am" and "I exist" remain, despite no isolation from the fabric of whole. And while our individual dream of separation is a mirage played by viewing reality through our own subjective vistas, laws uphold the balance, even laws we cannot quite yet fully understand. After all, most of our knowledge is drawn from the 5 senses, instinct, deductive reasoning and intuition.

More so, I believe that this present NOW is not just an impermanence in meaningless transition, it is wholly eternal. Meaning, it's very eternality is it's transitory nature, as despite the endless stream of impermanent phenomena, Divine Mind or Buddha Mind, remains aware of existing and being awake... as it plays out the journey on the field of possibility.

This brings about a paradoxical twist in the plot. This very present now has always existed, right here (relative to the specific point it is perceived from) and always will exist, as the same NOW. Only the circumstances and forms fall away from any perceivable reality and/or discernible presence.


IMO, we are each capable of conjoining the internal witness deep within our core of beingness, with the oneness of an awareness of being awakened to a higher reality and this dream of selfhood is not just the dream bubble, an infinitesimally minute flicker of being had by an infinite, mechanical force. In my small experiences, when the degree of attention is focused enough, the interconnectedness of the cosmos is quite self evident. Both, inside and outside of any sense of oneself and another self (or even countess selves). There is this Sacred presence, this higher intelligence immanent, one possessing an innate knowingness. It is everything and remains undefinable. We are all That, too.

In my mind, that is "singular consciousness". I have a penchant for the term "Awakening of the Omniself". Albeit, partially understood from an egoic perspective, which transcends it's fixed boundaries and launches into immersion within the patterning of the interwoven fabric of the Omniversal, the sheerly translucent all pervasiveness of the Unified Field.

The quintessential life is force channeled into the relative phenomenon of self, mirroring both it's own impermanence and illusory nature... yet, still being quite aware of having living consciousness and being acutely hyper-conscious of something wholly symbiotic, awakening from the immense totality of the infinite, to perhaps seek itself outside of itself?

Mayhaps this might indeed facilitate all manifestations, making for the potentiality of an isolated notion of "I am" or "I exist" to blossom from no-thingness? Born anew to spontaneously, rippled across the myriad realms of possibility... said singularity and unity is forever pulsing and oscillating within everything else. Even funneling into the vacuum of the Clear Light of the Void, one eye sees the unity of Spirit.

Yet, all in all, it sometimes seems as if Iso-self (ego), Omniself and Zero-self are three aspects of the very same ineffable, nebulously insubstantial energy... for whatever reason, bleooming and disappearing without any trace. And I feel that This is what pervades the entire knowable cosmos and further into realms beyond our range of perception. That innate singularity interconnects to everything that occurs within the paradigmatic flow of the eternal Tao.

A good analogy is the shapeshifters in Star Trek Deep Space Nine. They all come from a singular 'sea' of material conciousness.
Now think of this sea as pure conciousness not 'material' conciousness and that the 'essence' of us comes from this sea and is expressed within many different forms throughout the material uni/multiverse.
Thats how I see it anyway.
