Part 5/8:
In Hindu mythology, the figure of Lord Vishnu exemplifies this cyclical nature, with his avatars representing divine intervention in restoring cosmic balance. The CTMU similarly portrays the universe as an evolving entity, creating ongoing experiences of self-discovery through recursive interactions.
Self-Reference and the Nature of Reality
Langan's emphasis on self-reference and self-awareness draws parallels with the fundamental Hindu teaching of “Tat Tvam Asi,” which means “that thou art.” This principle embodies the notion that individual existence (Atman) is intrinsically linked to the ultimate reality (Brahman). The CTMU reflects this interconnectedness, suggesting that each conscious being acts as a microcosm of the greater cosmic whole.
