Yes, the Universe Manifests from the Self

How from the void beingness of the Self, the different energies and forms of the Universe manifest is somewhat of a mystery, yet it cannot be otherwise. If the Universe would not manifest from the Self, it would exist by itself. Yet in nondual understanding, the Self is the only absolute reality and the Universe is an illusion. So the Universe must originate with the Self, a divine theater naturally emerging from the void of pure awareness. To find the Self of course, we have to remove our attention away from the Universe. Yet when then again we open our eyes, we see the Self everywhere. That miracle appearing in consciousness can be explained the existence of 3 seeds with the Self, from which the Universe emerges : the void beingness of Sat, the silent consciousness of Chit and the timeless bliss of Ananda. In Tantric Advaita, we then use these seeds to reconnect to the energy or feeling of the Self. This is a short clip from Part 2 of an 8 part series on Tantric Advaita, freely available on Youtube.
