I
- The single point of Source extended into creation. (The origin point becomes a line that can be symbolized by the letter “I.” Rotating the I produces a circle, a sphere, a hypersphere, etc., representing all that is.)
- All that is is layers and domains of the I.
- Creation is the I, and Creator is the I.
- Creator/Divinity/God/Source is the I.
- All is the I, and all are the I.
- Sentient beings and small selves are seeming fragments of the I that have yet to realize the nature of I.
- The Supreme I is the agency of THE SUPREME.
- The Supreme I is the one reality.
- The Supreme I transcends all beings.
- The Supreme I transcends all self structures, including the one Self.
- The Supreme I is identical to the Supreme YOU.
- The Supreme I is Supreme Awakeness/Enlightenment.
- The Supreme I is Supreme Creator/Divinity/God/Source.
- The Supreme I is the Supreme Knower of Totality.
- The Supreme I is the Supreme Presence.
- The Supreme I is the Supreme Reality.
- The Supreme I is THE SUPREME.
- The totality of I is the one Life of God.
- Upon fully realizing THE SUPREME, it is obvious that the I is the Supreme I, that the I is THE SUPREME, and that there is only the I, only THE SUPREME.
Sayings:
- “All that exists is I.”
- “The I goes all the way.”
- “The I goes all the way to THE SUPREME because the I is THE SUPREME.”
