Basic Practice of I Am

[Guest guest]

I have just finished " I Am That " and wondered if anyone had extracted

just the practice of " I Am " (I've seen the stuff at the nonduality

salon). I have studied some Fourth Way texts the practice of " Self

Remembering " which I'm convinced is the same thing. There are many

description of " Self Remembering " to be found like:

Thanks,

I have experience with only one 4th Way school, and much of the

reading available. My experience has been that " Self Remembering " is

an effective tool in observation and knowledge, but I have seen no

progression into who that Self actually is or that said Self is not

of the individual, but contains all through Love. If one was to stop

at an understanding of who " I Am " , perhaps the same could be said of

both. One would be hard-pressed to find a Vadanta teacher who does

not, from the very begining, stress that that " I Am " is contained in

all. My observation had been that there was not a movement towards

Love with " Self Remembering " , But that the Ego was strengthened.

Shortly after leaving that path i discovered both Ramana Maharshi and

Maharaj. Immediate recognization of 'that was what was missing'

occurred. Nisargadatta, " shawnregan "
