Righto. The Hindus and Buddhists were on it for a long time, as well, most especially in the apotheosis or apex approach of each.

The inquiry is about the knower as you alluded to. The presupposition is: How can I be anything I can know? That begins with Neti Neti, (not this, not that). That is Aydvaita Vedanta or Jnani. The Self as Brahman and the Absolute as Para Brahman. Tat Vam Asi: That Thou Art!

The Buddhist approach is towards the same actuality of realization, but takes a slightly different tack and, IMHO, Dzogchen is one of its apex approaches to that.

Just be!
