Erwin Schrödinger — The Singular Mind: All Conscious Beings Are One

What if there is only one mind in the universe… and everything you call “yourself” is just a fragment of it? What if the sense that you are separate—from others, from the world, from everything—is not a truth… but an illusion? The physicist Erwin Schrödinger, one of the founding figures of quantum mechanics, proposed something that goes far beyond science: that consciousness is not divided. Not split between individuals. Not generated separately in billions of brains. But singular. One. The same awareness looking through countless perspectives. And if that is true, then the deepest question becomes unavoidable: are you truly an individual consciousness… or are you the universe itself, experiencing itself from one point of view?~



Adi Shankaracharya

Adi Shankaracharya was born in Kalady, Kerala, around 788 CE to Shivaguru and Aryamba, who had prayed for a child for many years. From a very young age, he displayed extraordinary intellectual abilities, mastering the Vedas and scriptures by the age of eight and showing a strong inclination toward spiritual life guided by his guru, Govinda Bhagavatpada, Shankara delved deeply into Vedanta philosophy, particularly the non-dualistic (Advaita) interpretation of the Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, and Brahma Sutras.

and so it would seem that in the 8th Century A.C. Adi Shankaracharya writes with the same philosophy as Erwin Schrödinger, that we are nothing but one consciousness. Adi Shankaracharya refers to this as Shiva the creator who watches the play of the divine, Shiva is the cause of all, the creation of all and watches his play in the witness form.

Nirvana Shatakam

by Shankara
English version by Ivan M. Granger


I am not mind, not intellect, not ego, not thought.
I am not the ears, the tongue, the nose or the eyes, or what they witness,
I am neither earth nor sky, not air nor light.

I am knowledge and bliss.
I am Shiva! I am Shiva!

I am not the breath of prana, nor its five currents.
I am not the seven elements, nor the five organs,
Nor am I the voice or hands or anything that acts.

I am knowledge and bliss.
I am Shiva! I am Shiva!

I have no hatred or preference, neither greed nor desire nor delusion.
Pride, conflict, jealousy — these have no part of me.
Nothing do I own, nothing do I seek, not even liberation itself.

I am knowledge and bliss.
I am Shiva! I am Shiva!

I know neither virtue nor vice, neither pleasure nor pain.
I know no sacred chants, no holy places, no scriptures, no rituals.
I know neither the taste nor the taster.

I am knowledge and bliss.
I am Shiva! I am Shiva!

I fear not death. I doubt neither my being nor my place.
I have no father or mother; I am unborn.
I have no relatives, no friends. I have no guru and no devotees.

I am knowledge and bliss.
I am Shiva! I am Shiva!

Free from doubt, I am formless.
With knowledge, in knowledge, I am everywhere, beyond perception.
I am always the same. Not free, not trapped — I am.

I am knowledge and bliss.
I am Shiva! I am Shiva!

Truly, I am Shiva, pure awareness.
Shivo Ham! Shivo Ham!
