The Wa: An Exploration into Living and Being

In Advaita, the most fundamental statement one can make is, “I am.” Let’s examine it.

I am.

From which I deduce the following statements:

There is existence.

I am aware of existence.

I exist, at least, as an awareness of existence.

So, I can be sure of this statment: I exist as an awareness of existence. Or, I exist as an awareness of being.

I exist as an awareness of being.

Can we know anything about ourselves more directly? Can there be any understanding of what we are more fundamental than this one?
