God/Brahman is the Ocean of Love and Consciousness (Divinity

Sogyal Rinpoche

“ True spirituality is to be aware that if we are interdependent with everything and everyone else, even our smallest, least significant thought, word and action have real consequences throughout the universe. ”

Collette O'Mahony

“Releasing attachment to physical form and trusting your life force is crucial in the healing process. Consciousness is a state of non-attachment. Conscious energy organizes and manifests according to the universal field of intelligence. We are all one energy source yet we are having innumerable variations through the physical world.”

EGO

Enlightenment represents an awakened state, which can only happen when we detach from the ego and the material world. In this moment of awakening, we are able to recognize the Divine within. We find that true happiness and love already exist within us. Are you looking within or outside yourself for what you seek?

Tatvamasi

Tatvamasi is a term that is used in Hindu and yoga philosophy usually translated as “I am that” or “Thou art that.” The term comes from the Sanskrit, tat, meaning “that”; tvam, meaning “you”; and asi, meaning “you were.” The interpretation varies among the various yoga and Hindu traditions. Tatvamasi — sometimes spelled tat tvam asi — is one of the Great Utterances or Great Contemplations known as the Mahavakyas, which are found in the ancient Sanskrit texts of the Upanishads.

The Hidden Way Across The Threshold by J. C. Street pg. 298

“The man of Light and Truth must give himself to the kingdom of Spirit Truth, and the kingdom of Spirit Truth sets itself in him, gives itself, opens itself, amplifies itself, bringing the man for the first time into the Light and conditions of the Arch-Natural Law.

Here passed the limits of Mortal knowledge. Here open the realms of infinite possibilities of the human Soul, for here comes into play the law of the interaction and interpresence of the kingdom of Nature; the order of the Unfallen Universe.”

Theosophist Annie Besant propagated this view as well:

Sage Vasistha made the same point in the Yoga Vasistha. The form of his teaching is similar to Sri Ramakrishna’s, that waves or vibrations arise out of the Ocean of Sathchidananda.

When the infinite vibrates, the worlds appear to emerge. When it does not vibrate, the worlds appear to submerge, even as when a firebrand is whirled fast a circle appears. And when it is held steady, the circle vanishes. Vibrating or not vibrating, it is the same everywhere at all times. (46

Theosophist Annie Besant propagated this view as well:

The source from which a universe proceeds is a manifested Divine Being, to whom in the modern form of the Ancient Wisdom the name of Logos, or Word, has been given. The name is drawn from Greek philosophy, but perfectly expresses the ancient idea, the Word which emerges from the Silence, the Voice, the sound, by which the worlds come into being. (47)

“It is said in Hindu scripture that ‘Truth is one. Paths are many.’ The search for Truth, for God, is called the Sanatana Dharma, or the Eternal Path, because it is inherent in the soul itself, where religion begins. This path, this return to the Source, is ever existent in man, and is at work whether he is aware of the processes or not. There is not this man’s search and that man’s search. Where does the impetus come from? It comes from the inside of man himself. Thus, Hinduism is ever vibrant and alive, for it depends on this original source of inspiration, this first impulse of the spirit within, giving it an energy and a vibrancy that is renewable eternally in the now.”
