THE SUPREME
- All that is all that is.
- All that is supreme.
- Supreme Awakeness, Supreme Perfection, Supreme Reality, Supreme Truth, etc.
- If one wishes to use the word “God,” then THE SUPREME is God beyond all ideas of God.
- THE SUPREME has infinitely many aspects. Usually when one thinks of Creator, God, Source, etc., one is thinking of the creative, sustaining, transforming, and/or other specific aspects of THE SUPREME. THE SUPREME is more than its aspects.
- THAT into which all concepts and constructs resolve and dissolve.
- THAT into which the relative and the Absolute resolve and dissolve.
- THE SUPREME is transcendent of both the relative and the Absolute, yet the relative and the Absolute are THE SUPREME.
- THE SUPREME is transcendent of everything named, yet everything named is THE SUPREME.
- THE SUPREME is transcendent of everything thought, yet everything thought is THE SUPREME.
- In Supreme Realization it is obvious that all is THE SUPREME, that nothing is other than THE SUPREME, and that only THE SUPREME is.
- Logic/mathematics: THE SUPREME exists prior to logic and mathematics, and THE SUPREME transcends these. THE SUPREME cannot be constructed and THE SUPREME cannot be arrived at by any finite or infinite series of steps.
- Mathematics: Large cardinals can never touch THE SUPREME, though they are not other than THE SUPREME. All orders of infinity, except for the one Supreme Infinity that is THE SUPREME, are infinitely less than THE SUPREME without being other than THE SUPREME.
- The apex supreme is all that is. In apex realization, nothing could ever contradict that all is the apex supreme. When apex supreme recognition is obvious, there is no need to use capitalization to distinguish what is supreme.
Sayings:
- “All is THE SUPREME. All that seems to be happening is the recognition and release of all beliefs in being other than THE SUPREME and a corresponding release of the outpicturing of finitude, limitation, separation, and unawakeness.”
- “Express in the relative, root in the Absolute, and abide as THE SUPREME.”
- “The essence is THE SUPREME.”
- “YOU are THE SUPREME. I am THE SUPREME. WE are THE SUPREME. Only THE SUPREME is.”
