	Avadhut Chapter Two
		The wise discover that Atman which is not seen either by study of the Vedas, by initiations, by shaving the head, or by being a Guru or a chela (an approved disciple).
		That God, Atman, by whose power the whole universe is born, in which it abides and to which it finally returns like bubbles and waves in the sea, is realised by the wise.
		Atman which the wise realise, is not the aim of control of breath (pranayama) nor of the postures of Hatha Yoga.

	Atman in Sunyata and the Sunyata of Atman [Buddha's World]
		Whereas the former school of thought is credited with the belief in the existence of the Atman or the soul as the core reality of the human individual, the latter school is famous for the theory of Anatman or denial of the existence of any self or soul substance.
		Atman is consciousness absolutely purged of all factual specificities---everything that consciousness accumulates during its involvement with the empirical world or Samsara.
		Transcendence from the life of a Jiva to that of Atman requires that the self render itself into emptiness (Sunyata) as far as the perspectival subjectivity of the former mode of life is concerned.

		Atman is the immortal aspect of the mortal existence, which is hidden in every object of creation including man. It is the microcosm, representing the macrocosm in each of us, imparting to us divine qualities and possibilities and providing us with the reason to exist and experience the pains and pleasures of earthly life.
		The ego is Atman's poor cousin, the false center, which assumes the position of control and ownership, where as in actual reality it is a mere reflection, a product of illusion and a mental projection, born out of sensory experiences and the accumulation of memories and thoughts.
		The idea is that Atman cannot be realized by the ordinary consciousness, where the senses are active and where there is the interference of the mind in the process of awareness.

	Atman (Hinduism) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dvaita calls the all-pervading aspect of Brahman Paramatman (Paramatma), quantitatively different from individual Atman.
		Identification of individual souls, or jiva-atmas, with the 'One Atman' is the monistic Advaita Vedanta position, which is critiqued by dualistic/theistic Dvaita Vedanta (which claims reality for both a God functioning as the ultimate metaphorical "soul" of the universe, and for actual individual "souls" as such) and compromise schools like Vishishtadvaita Vedanta.
		The 'dvaita' (or dualist) schools, therefore, in contrast to Advaita, advocate an exclusive monotheistic position wherein Brahman is made synonymous with Vishnu.

	Atman
		Atman is also sometimes used of the universal self or spirit which is called in the Sanskrit writings Brahman (neuter), and the Brahman or universal spirit is also called the paramatman.
		Atman (Sanskrit) Self; the highest part a human being: pure consciousness, that cosmic self which is the same in every dweller on this globe and on every one of the planetary or stellar bodies in space.
		Atman is included among the human principles because it is the universal absolute essence of which buddhi, the soul-spirit, is the carrier, transmitting its rays to the remainder of the human constitution.

	Mandukya Upanishad
		The quarters of Atman are the same as the letters of AUM and the letters are the same as the quarters.
		The Lord (Atman), with His mind turned outward, imagines in diverse forms various objects either permanent, such as the earth, or impermanent, such as lightning, which are already in His mind in the form of vasanas, or desires.
		Atman, which is like akasa (infinite space), is said to be manifested in the form of jivas, which may be likened to the akasas enclosed in pots.

	Atman
		As a cosmological principle or deity, Atman seems to be something like "universal soul" or "universal spirit." In the Brihad-Aranyaka Upanishad, Atman is explicitly called a Person that created the universe by first splitting himself into male and female halves.
		By understanding yourself, by coming to know one's own soul, one then arrives at the knowledge of Atman itself; the key to understanding the nature of the one unitary principle of the universe is to see one's (undying) self as identical with that principle: "tat svam asi": That (Atman) is what you are, Svetaketu.
		Brahman is the totality of the universe as it is present outside of you;, Atman is the totality of the universe as it is present within you; Brahman is the totality of the world known objectively, Atman is the totality of the world known subjectively.

		Atman sta proponendo la world-music piu` intellettuale di tutti i tempi; sebbene radicata nei ritmi e nelle melodie del mondo, la musica folk di questo gruppo appare tanto austere, tanto complessa, tanto sofisticata e in definitiva tanto ambiziosa quanto la musica d'avanguardia.
		Atman's basic trio is augmented with Anna Nacher for Tradition (Drunken Fish, 1999), an even more eclectic assembly of sonic cells performed with an even broader set of instruments.
		Where Atman was a spontaneous joy of world sounds, PKM is an intellectual's view of popular music, a scientist's vivisection of alien organisms.

		This information is given for the sake of meditation on the Atman which results in the knowledge of it.

	Atman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Many believe that individual "personal" souls exist as an illusion only, and think of an ultimate tman as the all-pervading soul of the universe: the universal life-principle, the animator of all organisms, and the world-soul.
		They identify individual souls, or jiva-atmas, with the 'One Atman.' This is the monistic Advaita Vedanta position, which is critiqued by dualistic/theistic Dvaita Vedanta (which claims reality for both a God functioning as the ultimate metaphorical "soul" of the universe, and for actual individual "souls" as such) and compromise schools like Vishishtadvaita Vedanta.
		By contrast, Jiva is the psychological or phenomenological self, the "I" which appears as the subject of verbs.

	Atman and Brahman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The Atman is always in a state that can be called samAdhi, and there is no "coming into" or "going out of" such a state.
		If it is the Atman that revels in the Atman, then it follows that this has to be the natural state (svabhAva) of the Atman, and consequently, it should be independent of whether one is in samAdhi or not.
		The Atman is sadA-Ananda by svabhAva, as shown by Sruti, and never loses this nature, all through the states of jAgrat, svapna, sushupti, mUrchA, savikalpa samAdhi and nirvikalpa samAdhi.

	The Atman Fiasco
		First, we shall analyze the Atman project in its psychospiritual dimension; the other aspect where "soul's" ascent is rendered using the terminology of Mahayana Buddhism will be left to the next chapter.
		Irrepressible contraries wreck Wilber's Atman Project from the outset: evolution (however "spiritual" it may be, and in whichever guise-Hegelian, Theosophical, Teilhardian, Aurobindoan) and the radical unitary monist idealism of Ch'an/Zen or Tibetan Mahamudra schools are mutually exclusive.
		Wilber's "Dharmakaya" has some attributes of the doctrinal Dharmakaya (which is, under various and frequently conflicting names, used as the "Sun" of the Tibetan cosmography: the terms are Dharmakaya, Nirvana, Dharmadhatu); yet, he's again "innovative" in splitting the Dharmakaya (something other Tantric Buddhists, enmeshed in their own doctrinal dubieties, had never dreamt of).

	ORIENTALIA - Indian Philosophy and Anthropic Cosmological Principle
		It is its conjunction with Atman that provides the individual characteristics of consciousness.Yet the perplexing difficulty remains of just how to combine two so contradictory assertions, which simultaneously maintain (1) the all-pervasiveness of Atman, and (2) its separateness (prthaktva) with reference to the conscious life of the individual.
		This immanent Atman is, however, indiscernible in its essence from the essence of llsvara because of the dialectical coincidence of the opposites promulgated yet by UddAlaka.
		According to the latter, Atman has the size of an atom and is situated in the heart of the sage (sic: UddAlaka), while Udayana is arguing that Atman is not bigger than an atom, though capable of pervading the whole body (sic: Jaina).

		Attainment to Atman is dependent on the control of those aspects of the person that are transitory and not eternal like Atman; these include the body, the mind, the intellect and the senses.
		It is thus shown that Atman or the soul is what gives the body purpose and life, and that control of the mind and the senses results in a knowledge of the universal soul and, likewise, ultimate reality.
