Formless consciousness.. the essence of who you are...

 Namaste friends... today I am going to be teaching from the Upanishads,  the ancient scriptures of India:
"What cannot be thought with the mind,  but that whereby the mind can think:  know that alone to be Brahman the Spirit and not  what people here adore."
This is saying that it is formless conciousness that is the essence of who you are.
  One of.my favorite spiritual teachers,  Eckhart Tolle,  states it this way:
"The twofold reality of the universe,  which consists of things and space--thingness and no-thingness--is also your own nature.  A sane, balanced and fruitful human life is a dance between the two dimensions that make up reality:  form and space."
Could you exist in form without the formless dimension from which you emanated?
As Sri Sri Anandamayi Ma, famous saint of India in the 20th century,  another of my favorite teachers (gurus),  puts it:
"As a King is known by his majesty, as fire is known by its heat,  so the Unmanifest reveals Himself through the world of manifestation."
Om blessings to you all...  _/\_
