Guest guest Posted March 30, 2000 Report Share Posted March 30, 2000 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 " Be as you are - Teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi" and I find this reading 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 the essential Truth of Reality.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2000 Report Share Posted March 30, 2000 ok nice, you can be sure that me English is worse than you; but doon´t you belive that this inherent difficult is a usefull execcise for the mind. Always i thought that the ego is like a plane that can to to fly because I blow in myself to fly. Ok this effort is so tired (this is inherent suffering). In this stupid metaphora the words facilitate the continuos blow. In traslation could be a opportunity to really recognize that we are know.. best regards an thanks , "Claude Fournier" <claudef@m...> wrote: > Greetings, > > May I introduce myself?
