atman, n.All

Atman (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠That which knows in and through every individual — God himself, the Self of the world.

The Atman (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the "ego-ego," the subject of the subject, the real source of the ego, whose mistaken strivings try to grab the autonomy the self only hints at.

Atman (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠to consciousness what the head is to sight: neither light nor dark, neither full nor empty, only an inconceivable beyond.

Atman (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠he through whom good and evil are spoken — the one in me who voices the principles and breathes through all; what we call the self, not a more intense ego but psychic totality.
