Understanding ego as an erroneous awareness of ourself

Michael explains the essential import of these verses and all of Ramana's teachings in 8 key points -- 8 talks (videos). This is the fourth talk with the fourth point: since ego is an erroneous awareness of ourself, it can be eradicated only by correct awareness of ourself, which means awareness of ourself as we actually are. After explaining this point, Michael answers questions related to Ramana's teachings.  Pure intransitive awareness alone is real consciousness and what actually exists https://blog.sriramanateachings.org/2024/09/pure-intransitive-awareness-alone-is.html Is there any such thing as a ‘self-realised’ person? https://blog.sriramanateachings.org/2014/11/is-there-any-such-thing-as-self.html#yarjnani This episode can also be watched as a video here and a more compressed audio copy in Opus format (which can be listened to in the VLC media player and some other apps) can be downloaded from here.   Disclaimer: The book mentioned at the beginning of this episode is a private compilation by a third party that has not been read or endorsed by Michael James or by the management of Sri Ramana Center of Houston.
