Introducing myself

[Guest guest]

Greetings,

 

May I introduce myself? I am relatively new to the advaita

philosophy. I say relatively because years ago, I read "Commentaries

on life" by J. Krishnamurti and was not knowing that he spoke of

advaita. I began to

re-read them to my benefice a few weeks ago.

 

I also studied psychosynthesis, a psychological approach largely

inspired

by Hindu philosophies. I learned during those years the concepts of

I, Self

and identification/desidentification from the differents facets our

ego can

take. So, these list's posts are familiar to me though I am not

educated

in the real matter of origin.

 

I am now practicing a form of qigong (energy work) emphasizing

silence and

non-doing. I find in advaita (what I can find on the web about it) an

interesting and helping philosophical background for my practice.

 

Last weekend, I bought "Teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi" and I find

this

lecture very inspiring and liberating. The presented notions do not

seem

very complicated but it is an other thing to really integrate them in

day

to day life.

 

My mother language is French and I am not really fluent in English,

so I

think it will be enough for my intro.

 

Best regards to all of you, friends of That Is.
