Only Awareness. Yes. And ... To give a name involves a namer and that which is named. With no distance, no naming. > 'If with mind turned toward awareness & concentration on awareness, > one seeks the Self, the world made up of ether & other elements is > real, as all things are Awareness, the one sole substance of true > Being.' - Sri Muruganar If nothing to look and nothing to be seen, no concentrator and nothing to be concentrated upon. There needn't be any sole substance of which everything is made, when it is clear that things aren't made from something. Everything reflects everything else, and it is only mind which thinks in terms of things that are made, and that from which they are made. Mind being insubstantial, the constructions of mind are likewise insubstantial, even ideas of original substance, quality, or condition.
