"I am drunk and you are mad" – the annihilation of egoThis opening line sets the mystical tone. In Sufism:Drunkenness symbolizes ecstatic love and loss of the self in divine presence.Madness represents the overwhelming, irrational force of divine attraction.The question “Who will take us home?” suggests that in this state, normal rules and paths (reason, tradition, logic) don’t work anymore.2. A world of madnessThe speaker walks through the world and finds no one sober — suggesting that once one is awakened to spiritual truth, they see that everyone else is already unconsciously caught in illusion or yearning.3. Invitation to the tavern (kharabat)In Sufi literature, the tavern is not a place of sin, but a spiritual realm where conventional religion and intellect break down and are replaced by direct experience of divine love.4. Divine cupbearer (Saaqi)The cupbearer is God or the spiritual master pouring the wine of truth. This wine brings spiritual intoxication — a state beyond rational thought.5. Oneness and transcendence of identityThe beloved says, “I don’t know friend from stranger,” and “I am from everywhere and nowhere.” This dissolves individual boundaries — gender, place, religion, ego — all fade before the One.6. Symbols of sea and pearlBeing “half the sea, half the pearl” references:The mystery of existence,The hidden nature of divine wisdom,The beloved as both the source and goal of the seeker.7. Letting go of worldly identity“Without hat or heart” — the poet gives up social markers and ego. The tavern becomes home. “A chest full of untold words” refers to divine secrets too vast or sacred to put into words.🪶 Summary of Themes:Love as a transformative madness.Union with the Divine as the ultimate goal.A rejection of cold rationality in favor of mystical experience.The beloved as God, truth, or the inner self.Dissolution of ego, borders, and self-consciousness.Source: Alternative Planetary Futures Institute, Washington DC, USABest Regards,Victor V.

Hi Tom and Victor,The DPV~ICRDAM is NOT materialism (matter first), idealism (consciousness first), dualism (both consciousness and matter are fundamental). Instead, it is a middle way, a foundational metaphysics based on dual-aspect monism (consciousness and matter are inseparable, complementary, and reflective aspects of reality).
In DPV~ICRDAM (spirituality-based Dvi-Pakṣādvaita Vedānta ~ (equivalent to) science-based Inseparable-Complementary-Reflective Dual-Aspect Monism), a state of an entity is a dual-aspect (DA) state (DAS) with consciousness[i] as the subjective (s) aspect and its physical basis is the inseparable, complementary, reflective non-subjective (ns) aspect. It includes 41 frameworks, both Vedantic and non-Vedantic, from around the world.[ii]
A brief introduction is attached. Please feel free to ask questions. It is not easy to understand it.
[i] In ICRDAM (Inseparable-Complementary-Reflective Dual-Aspect Monism) and DPV (Dvi-Pakṣādvaita Vedānta), the term individual ‘consciousness’ (IC) as parts of Saguṇa Brahman (SB) refers to conscious subjective experiences (CSEs) of (i) active dynamic self (ADS), (ii) passive invariant self (PIS) that remains unchanged during a lifetime (PIS = ADS + autobiographical_LTM → self-certainty; ADS and PIS are two facets of the same self), (iii) exogenous and endogenous stimuli, and (iv) conscious components of cognitions including conscious thoughts, conscious decisions, memory, attention, perception, sensation, idea, or intuition, &c from the subject’s 1st-person perspective (1pp) as a subjective (s) aspect of a conscious state of a subject.
In other words, in Spirituality-based Dvi-Pakṣādvaita Vedānta (DPV) and science-based Inseparable-Complementary-Reflective Dual-Aspect Monism (ICRDAM), collectively referred to as DPV~ICRDAM, consciousness encompasses conscious subjective experience (CSE). It includes:
(i) Active dynamic self (ADS), which refers to self-consciousness;
(ii) Passive invariant self, indicating the ongoing feeling of being the same person throughout a person's life, maintained through autobiographical long-term memory;
(iii) Both exogenous and endogenous stimuli; and
(iv) The conscious components of cognitions, such as conscious thoughts.
Each component of consciousness has its own neural-physical activity/basis (NPA/NPB), which can be measured from the subject's 3rd-person perspective (3pp) as the inseparable non-subjective (ns) aspect of the same conscious state of the same subject. Individual consciousness is a latecomer in evolution.
The conscious subjective experience (CSE) redness is a 1pp (1st person perspective) subjective (s) aspect that is inseparable and complementary to the related 3pp (3rd pp) non-subjective (ns) aspect of a redness-related dual-aspect state (DAS) of a trichromat. If we 'view' EII (effective integrated information experienced) from private 1pp, then it is CSE redness, and if the same EII is 'viewed' (i.e., measured) from the public 3pp, then it is 1-1 bidirectionally related neural-physical activities (NPA) in the visual area 8 (V8) neural network. All trichromats will claim CSE redness when they see a red rose. Thus, in essence, all trichromats (publically) will claim to experience redness without fail. There are not two states (i) one for 1pp CSE and (ii) the other for 3pp NPA; instead, there is only one conscious DAS with inseparable and complementary s and ns aspects.
In other words, the conscious subjective experience (CSE) of redness is a first-person perspective (1pp) subjective aspect that is inseparable from and complementary to the related third-person perspective (3pp) non-subjective (ns) aspect of a redness-related dual-aspect state (DAS) for a trichromat. When we examine effective integrated information (EII) from a private 1pp perspective, it manifests as CSE redness. Conversely, when the same EII is observed from a public 3pp perspective, it corresponds to bidirectionally redness-related neural-physical activities (NPA) within the visual area 8 (V8) neural network. All trichromats will assert that they experience CSE redness when they see a red rose. Essentially, all trichromats will reliably claim to experience redness. There are not two separate states—one for 1pp CSE and another for 3pp NPA; rather, there is only one conscious DAS with inseparable and complementary subjective and non-subjective aspects.

A couple of points though:I have just started to look over the variety of posts Ram has sent and consequently I am just starting to study and attempt to understand Ram's philosophy. I plan on delving deeper into it, but right now I don't know enough to be reasonably clear regarding what Ram is proposing. I just opened the last post (below) from Ram. As such, I am uncertain regarding how his views compare to mine.The same would be true regarding what Victor has posted on his views on the "unity of existence." I also intend to study more closely his views.I have serious reservations regarding the "unity of existence" thesis.Over the next two weeks, prior to my next Evolution of Consciousness webinar, I will probably examine in more depth both Ram and Victor's posts. Let's see what I think then.TomOn Friday, September 12, 2025 at 07:43:42 AM MST, Ram Lakhan Pandey Vimal <rlpv...@yahoo.co.in> wrote:Dear Victor and Tom,It will be fine with me.Please review the attached manuscript, make appropriate updates, and select an appropriate journal.
