Om Amriteswaryai Namaha!

 

This is from a master named Cee in the Bay Area. Check

out www.presentnonexistence.com for more juicy

liberating freedom blissful wisdom in the lineage of

the great Ramana Maharshi...

 

"Don't you think this is a good endeavor in this

lifetime? To know who you are before you start living

it and running off with all kinds of assumptions of

who you are? Trying to fulfill expectations of a world

who's telling you who you are? Trying to squeeze out

some joy and peace through making an identity out of

the human form? !!!!! This is a pursuit that affords

no joy and always ends in death of the assumed

entity. So, as good as it can be, it's not fulfilling.

And it's certainly not eternally fulfilling.

 

"So find a way to park this physical form for a while.

Its wise to do this every day as many times as you

can. I'll tell you after a while this mediation thing

will get to be the most enjoyable thing you do!

Because finding yourself is utterly, utterly blissful.

So the more you do this, even though it seems like

intention and effort at first, the more pleasure you

will enjoy. It will turn out to be far superior to any

other pleasure you have known in your lifetime. So

park the form and delve into your own existence. I

can't tell you what this means. You have got to find

it out for yourself. I can point, I can urge, but you

must do it yourself. I can't give you yourself. Only

you can find yourself.

 

"If you want this eternal bliss, if you want this

enlightenment that sages have spoken of for eons, give

it your intention repeatedly: "Who am I?" Look

directly at what you find. "Who am I?" Is it a body?

Go deeper. Sometimes people will find themselves

locked into some part of the body. They ask "who am

I?" and they keep feeling it is something somewhere in

their head or their heart or ajna chakra or some other

part. Go deeper. This consideration goes subtler and

subtler. There will be many forms of who you think you

are. That is what we want to get rid of. So sometimes

I hear people get locked into their body for years.

"Who am I?" always ends up being the same answer - but

who sees that? Who is aware of that "I"? There cannot

be teo "I"s here. There's only one existence. You

yourself are only one - there are not many of you. So

if something sees an "I", who is that something or

someone?"
