Ekatma Godhead

There's a seeing presence which many think is God, some feel as godhead, and one in a million self-identify.

That dispassionately blissful knowing presence, appearing like this hologram of all there is, is witnessing.

See the passion play of great compassion and all the lower passions from Isvara to the lesser gods!

***

Belief is not being. Believing is thinking. Being is unthinkable.

Consciousness-existence is that absolute witnessing presence called Atman.

That intuitive endless I-essence is translating as ekatma pratyaya saram.

~Paramarthananda:

(Ek ātma-pratyaya-sāram is significant because it gives us the methodology to comprehend Turīyaṃ. Turīyaṃ will have to be comprehended in a unique manner because it is not available for regular means of knowledge. Turīyaṃ is not an object of knowledge but it is the very “you” who wants to know. So it cannot be observed externally or internally in deep meditation. To understand Turīyaṃ, a clue, ekaātmapratyaya-sāram, is given. ātma-pratyaya means Self-Knowledge or “I” awareness. Whenever you say, “I am”, you are aware of yourself. This self-awareness, whenever you say, “I am” is called ātmapratyaya (pratyaya = awareness). eka means continuous. ekātma-pratyaya means continuous selfawareness. This continuous self-awareness is the sāram, an indicator or a indicator. We have to capture the Turīyaṃ by holding on to self-awareness.)
