Guest guest Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 Dear everyone, Several months ago, whenever it was that Michael L. became aware of what he calls "awareness watching awareness", a joy arose in my heart. I felt so glad for Michael L. There isn't any doubt that a breakthrough had been achieved, for him as well as others. And in the months since then, I have noticed that several persons have at least appeared to have benefited from Michael L.'s revelation. Just today, on the atma_vichara list, "lsherm 47" wrote a wonderful and inspiring post that I hope that everyone has read. She experienced the same revelation that Michael L. has experienced. Linda and Michael L. have both exerted enormous efforts and they found a place in their own hearts. Find your heart. Magic is enshrined there in your very own heart - your very own magic. Please, don't argue with the word "magic". Just substitute your own heartfelt word or phrase whatever that word or phrase may be. Let's don't quibble over words. And lets don't quibble over methods or a lack of method. Which form of Ramana's teachings was the greatest? - The teaching in silence, or the teachings transmitted by words? According to Ramana, his true teaching was transmitted in silence. We have read accounts of persons' "silent", "mystical / magical" encounters with Sri Ramana Maharshi. These "encounters", these unspeakable "wonders" are the "heart of the matter". Michael L's "awareness watching awareness" method is a very high form of "atma vichara". In "awareness watching awareness" Michael L. has found his own heart. Different persons practice different ways. Some persons claim that practice is futile and counter-productive. Some people believe "this" and some people believe "that". Some people say that Ramana said "this" and some persons say that Ramana said "that". But I only ask, "Have you found your own heart?". Love beyond words, michael bowes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
