Quote:I am That,
Thou art That,
All this is That,
and That alone Is.
from the Vedas, noted in The Book (On The Taboo of Knowing Who You Are),
by Alan Watts
Reminds me of:
I Am that I Am
Originally from Biblical sources. from Wiki
And then this:
In the Hindu Advaita Vedanta, the South Indian sage Ramana Maharshi mentions that of all the definitions of God, "none is indeed so well put as the biblical statement "I am that I am"". He maintained that although Hindu scripture contains similar statements, the Mahavakyas, these are not as direct as given in Exodus.[11] Further the "I am" is explained by Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj as an abstraction in the mind of the Stateless State, of the Absolute, or the Supreme Reality, called Parabrahman: it is pure awareness, prior to thoughts, free from perceptions, associations, memories. Parabrahman is often considered to be a cognate term for the Supreme Being in Hinduism.
I and I
Rastafarian. from Wiki
I and I is a complex term, referring to the oneness of Jah (God) and every human. Rastafari scholar E. E. Cashmore: "I and I is an expression to totalize the concept of oneness, the oneness of two persons. So God is within all of us and we're one people in fact.

"You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.â€
