Mahāvākyas
Great sayings of Upanishads.
You are That. I am Brahman. And so forth.
Interesting in the sense of being more poetry than literal “truth.”
For the purpose of edging out notions of personal identity with limited forms.
Of course, for that purpose just about any “voice” could, in theory, work the same magic. You could be the cat and alternately be the mouse. The method is deconstructing ego and nothing more. But not everyone is a poet.
So allow a poet to shed some perspective on it.
You are That. Be That all day and tell us how it works out!

OK I’ve had it —
cannot take this anymore.
This conversation
was over before starting.
Don’t you know how this plays out?
Oscillating Oscillators
The oscillatory nature of the tension of opposites leads to chaos when the oscillations themselves begin to oscillate. Jung was familiar with this phenomenon and considered it to be an integral part of the individuation process. He cited precedents in alchemy, shamanism, and mystical experience, all of which contain references to fragmentation, dismemberment, even ‘the return to chaos.’ Furthermore, we know that when a cascade continues to intensify, patterns that were once part of the original tension of opposites may again appear amid the chaos. Jung described this aspect of psychodynamics as a descent into the chaos of the unconscious that could lead to increased psychological functioning. ~ John R. Van Eenwyk
