That belief, that the stopping of mind-chatter by itself results in a kind of

nirvana, is the root cause of all practices - and most of them are are

a kind of mental treadmill - boooooooring.

Discover the causes of the mind-chatter instead of 'working' on it -

that would be science...

Well, if that's so, I don't have to read UG <laugh>

What scientists would find in my brain would be both

bizarre and worthless to them

Ramana won't say anything anymore

And I won't forget that C.G. Jung visited India to finish his deceased friend's

book

on Ramana, but didn't visit him, stating that wasn't necessary as Ramana's

statements

were 100% predictable. Instead, he met a householder, practicing "who am I"

and that was the proof of the pudding regarding the method of self-enquiry.

 

There are proficient astrologers on the list - perhaps they could assist you a

bit.

Regarding my "enlightenment", the horoscopic outcome probably would be "never"

<laugh>

 

Joy and Light,
