Guest guest Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Dear Alan Many thanks. An interesting read. The article interview with a person called Gred Goode it seems mis-represents the " progressive path " - I quote: " Q. You offer a `Direct Path' style of approach in the meetings that you give and the teachings that you offer. What exactly does that mean and how is it different from other types of approaches? A. The Direct Path is in contrast to a `progressive path' that says you need to get nearer and nearer and nearer the goal. The Direct Path starts you out at the finish. You already stand as truth, love, knowledge, awareness (the same thing by different names). If you have doubts or questions, you can resolve them by directly investigating your experience. When you do, you find that your stand as awareness is confirmed at every moment. " As we all know, Sri Ramana always taught that our true nature is the Self and nothing else, always and already. This seems to have been over looked by most modern day Neo-advaitins who simply dislike practice and are not open to recognise that it works to realise that which is already. But some such teachers have now revised their initial view and recognise that there can be stages of realization where illusion falls away in stages, pieces or layers.
