..zhoro, thank you for returning us to Advaitan focus

..yes..I..am..the principle of conscious existence..which, reflected upon, is the basis of existence..

present in all states, waking, dreaming or deep sleep..I

..who am I?

going back to Adi Shankaracharya, in his commentary on the Chandogya Upanishad, he wrote:

yes, 'this is IT' Rising Spirit !

it is without beginning nor end..
