and the Divine, and the Advaitic recognition that it is
ultimately identical with the Divine –understood as an
absolute and all-embracing awareness which is not only the
essential Self of all beings but also immanent in all Bodies
and the source of all sensuously experienced phenomena –
the message of Tantra^5.
We are speaking here of a ‘Godhead’ whose nature is
essentially nothing but a pure awareness transcending all
gods, worlds, things and beings - yet whose timeless and
constant action consists precisely of godding itself as countless
gods, worlding itself as countless worlds, thinging itself as all
things and selving itself as the essential self of all beings -
thus be-ing their very Being.
