6. True Understanding Comes from Seeing, & Exposing the “I” Thought

"Intellectual questioning and intellectual answers cannot give sight to the blind." ~excerpt from the True Understanding Comes from Seeing message from Inner Ramana "Every circumstance is appropriate for letting go of the false 'I' thought, because every circumstance is being experienced now, and now is always the time to turn the attention from the 'I'-thinking back to concentrated stillness in the mind." ~excerpt from the Exposing the "I" Thought message from Inner Ramana Assignment for week 6: Continue to practice both the mantra and surrender and try to be more aware of when your mind is telling you who you are (e.g. “I’m stupid”, “I’m attractive”, “I’m lazy”, “I’m responsible”). Just notice that the mind is trying to tell you who you are again and how often it does this. The audios in this podcast are from a study group that was led by Regina Dawn Akers in Pueblo, Colorado in 2016. They have been lightly edited. The group was studying the messages published in the book "The Teachings of Inner Ramana".
