"There are no forms.  There is no existence nor non-existence, no birth and no death; there is nothing known as reality, nor something which may be called unreal....Enough of such descriptions....Whatever is is--it is void, it is OM.  Enough of even such descriptions....Even the concept of supreme being is only a concept, not the truth.  Let it all be this way or let the truth be different from all this.  Abandon the pursuit of the fruit of actions.  You are enlightened.  Do not exert yourself in vain pursuit." - Vasistha's Yoga

"It is because of the liquidity of water that the one ocean is able to give rise to waves and currents; it is because of the infinite potentiality of consciousness that it is similarly able to appear to be diverse....The diversity that arises in consciousness on account of the limitlessness of its potentiality appears to give rise to diversity of creatures." - Vasistha's Yoga

We are because we are possible.

"The universe exists in a house; but the house itself is pure void." - Vasistha's Yoga

Diversity carved out of unity, unity conjured from void,  and all of it "exists" merely as the play of consciousness  Too far out?  Consider the silicon chip.  Once encoded with an operating system it authors endless mischief via numberless virtual realities, and yet it never changes a whit.
