1.
Atman is neither inner nor outer.
Brahman isn't individual or universal.
Turiyam is nondual.
2.
Rituals, practices, commandments, oh my!
If the problem is ignorance, the solution is knowledge only.
Consciousness is the foundation of all knowledge.
3.
At the end of the conceptual rainbow is consciousness and existence.
That satcitananda is like the consciousness-existence unlimited. All aboard!
That Consciousness-Existence Unlimited never leaves the station. For that's origin and destination.
1. consciousness
Individual consciousness are people.
Universal consciousness be god.
Absolute consciousness is.
2. name and formula only
The world is the superimposition of namarupa on the substrate of satcitananda.
Maya is the stuff of name and form. Turiya is a name for the formless.
Ayam Atma Brahma is the grand unified formless formula.
3. reflections
In the lake of consciousness, there's quite a reflection.
No matter how you look at it, this reflection is nothing but water.
This reflection is appearing in consciousness. Consciousness pervades this reflection.
The mind reflects consciousness. The mind does not fabricate consciousness.
Pure consciousness is self-luminous. The substrate of maya is satcitananda.
In namarupa, satcitananda is the holy trinity of nonduality.
Five sheaths, four states, three bodies, two dreams, one maya.
Enumerating this creation is prologue to its deconstruction.
Not inner, nor outer, nor consciousness in-between.
Not seed, nor god, nor nothing but pure consciousness.
~rj27
Brahman is Satcitananda only. Existence-consciousness-bliss are not three attributes of Brahman. Satcitananda is the nondual nature of Brahman.
In Maya, existence is living, consciousness is knowing, and bliss is self-awareness. I am, I know, I love I know I am.
Scientific materialism believes, without proof, consciousness is a product of an evolutionary brain. All appears in consciousness. Proof is merely stating the obvious.

1. God, The Universe, Isvara
If there's an individual consciousness, there's a universal consciousness to deify.
Call it God, The Universe, or Isvara. Simple acknowledgment is worship enough.
Denying this basic recognition is the height of self-deceit making real self-inquiry infeasible.
2. Isvara Help
Scientific atheists of the west are between gods, Isvara help them.
Isvara is Brahman as seen from the point of view of Maya.
Maya is the snake in the rope, a desert mirage, fool's gold, Texas tea.
3. God's Work
Visualizing Brahman as Isvara is God's work.
As one goes through samsara to get to nirvana, one goes through Isvara to get to Brahman.
The power of Isvara is Maya. The power of Maya is duality. The power of duality is twofold: veiling and revealing.
4. The Mahavakya Quartet
It's Brahman as far as the eye can see. Atman is that unbelievable consciousness in which a world of belief appears. Aum. Turiyam is shorthand for Ayam Atma Brahma.

Quotenotes:
It is true there is one Reality that appears as the universe, as the individualized knowing self, that appears as the Ruler of the universe. Yet, as long as you acknowledge one of these three, you have to acknowledge the other two also. ~Satprakashananda
God is a conscious being who must necessarily have all-knowledge and all power/skill to create, sustain and resolve the jagat. We will replace the word God, with the word Īśvara because it is an unabused Sanskrit word, so far. ~Dayananda

As crow doesn't know the ways of people, people do not know the Way. Crow mind or human mind, it's all monkeystuff of Maya. Islands never know the sea of consciousness except upon the shore of intuition called Eka-atma-pratyaya-saram.
Crow and Calvin
As crow caws the cause of causelessness, Calvin preaches predestination. Either one's self-realized or one is sleeping. There are three states of sleeping including this waking one.
Koan 22
Ted Hughes wrote Crow. Sylvia Plath was his better half. The seventh mantra of the Mandukya Upanishad is my heart of Jesus. I can do the trinity in my sleep but the fourth is nondual, Gaudapada.

Consciousness identifying with the mind is like fire identifying with firewood.
Consciousness identifying with consciousness is job number one.
Consciousness is the ground. Existence is the principle. Love is ananda, my love
I've been from Tucumcari to nonduality.
Duality is measured by the senses.
That's why nonduality makes no sense.
People die. Consciousness doesn't.
People appear in consciousness.
Consciousness is self-apparent.
The mind is this highly-advanced subtle body of Maya capable of reflecting consciousness
back to pure consciousness in an act of self-awareness like a total eclipse of the sun.
The moon shining on the earth is called consciousness.
The sun shining on the moon is called awareness (pure consciousness).
The moon shining on the sun is called absolution (enlightenment).
However much an experience this practical transactional world seems to be, it is unsubstantial like a dream with all its momentary contradictions.
Upon waking, the dream state disappears. In dreaming, there is no waking state. Both are non-existent in deep sleep while deep sleep is unavailable in both.
Thus these three states are considered to be unreal, creations of the three primal attributes. The real seer is beyond all attributes, that one consciousness, the Self.
If the sun is consciousness
and the moon, reflected consciousness,
the earth is like The Jimi Hendrix Experience.
Some call pure consciousness, awareness.
Some call reflected consciousness, the mind.
Some call experience, mindful consciousness.
Sometimes I get a great notion to know I Am.
1. Paramatman
There is no atman but paramatman.
Paramatman is the satcitananda of any other so-called atman.
2. any other so-called atman
Physical, subtle, omniscient, or seed
(body, ego, god, and dna).
3. nonduality
Reality is inconceivable. Duality is a misconception.
The binary universe is an appearance in nonduality.
