440. Bhagavan Ramana Satsang - Signs of Dissolving Ego. 

Great explanation,thank u!

Hej mate . Can you simplify what you wrote ? Ta

@@PeterLauriton Suffering is a result of filtering experience through ego. Whereas experience filtered through consciousness, and not pre filtered by ego is bliss. We live in the realm of ego. As spiritual health increases and the interest level we experience for the things around us wanes, we can feel depressed, because we are still comparing our perceptions with the egos around us, and when we feel ourselves pulling away from the ups and downs of the ego, we will compare poorly with those around us. We won’t want to bother with the hollow thrills and prizes for playing the ego game, and we may feel lonely, disconnected from those around us - and because the ego is doing all this comparing, it will want us to feel bad about this non-ego-centric way of life. The immense benefit of becoming one with the consciousness at the core of our being is that there is peace and happiness, but until you get used to resting in that space, it can feel like a loss of zest for life. Of course it is not, particularly if the work to realize our connection with the great consciousness is not being driven by deep psychological damage, which is the driver for many people. The ego only works in duality, up-down, good-bad, happy-sad, etc. so in its own terms spiritual health is ego-cancelling, which is felt as not-good by the ego.

@@markstevens1729 thanks for your respondence . I'll ponder about what you wrote . Ta mate

@@markstevens1729 Very well said - people search for many years to come to this understanding - thanks for sharing :)

If depression is the result of your ego dissolving, it is not enlightment and living in consciousness. The nature of living completely in consciousness with ego meted down is eternal bliss. Nothing else. Even after dissolving the ego, one can live in this mundane world completely immersed in selfless work. If you have not reached that stage, it is better to perform your duties pleasantly, without anxiety for the fruits of your actions.

Not true I haven't worked since 1990 and since then have owned 5 homes and more.God gave me this freedom so that I could discover my true self .Never limit God .🙏

I feel everything outside is fake.

@@jessealedonis3987 you are blessed, I still have to work for a living. ❤️

Says who?

Not his voice

The backdrop is of Arunachala, I think. The voice is not Bhagwan Ramana Maharishi

I see what you did there. Nice.

@@GreatAwakening-s7r It's really about seeing what you did😉

This is from the Bible, but I didn't understand you... 😞 Do you mind to explain?

@@zion367 I will try, but it isn't very easy. My own 'spiritual' journey began by listening, by sheer chance, to Alan Watts, in particular to a talk on 'Spiritual Authority'. I listened to it over and over again, it triggered something within, though I couldn't fully understand what was triggered, I listened again and again until I did understand it. I also began to meditate, but I saw no change within myself. I have a friend that meditates regularly, not as any spiritual practise, but as a remedy for his anxiety and depression, as prescribed by his therapist. For me, not ever having suffered unduly from these, I saw no effect of any meditation on myself. And also a huge problem came to light, in that, meditation, for the purpose of transcending or getting rid of the ego has the opposite effect, which is to reinforce the ego, on the grounds of 'I' being the do'er of the meditation. I'd also been misguided by a whole number of modern day internet pseudo gurus that encourage all types of spiritual practises like meditation and yoga practises, like a bogus doctor handing out medicine without knowing what that particular medicine is for. If you end up taking hemorrhoid cream for a sore throat, the desired effect is not likely to occur, in fact it the results could be worse. But like most seekers, I kept trawling the spiritual internet for a guru that could provide that missing piece of knowledge, and with my understanding complete I would blossom into some divine Infinite state of pure conciousness, or something or other. It never happened. But what did happen was that I began to disagree with a famous RU-vid guru, and one or two fellow seekers agreed with me and asked Stephen Wolinski about that guru's teachings, which Wolinski pulled apart in a five minute video. With no disrespect to Wolinski, I learned that he was of the school of Nisargadatta Maharaj, and decided to hear it straight from the horse's mouth. The actual conversations of Maharaj are faithfully translated and available on RU-vid, and I wouldn't bother listening to anyone's teaching, not even a known disciple Maharaj or Ramana Maharshi. Not because I think that they don't know what they're talking about, but because I do know that Maharaj does. 'When the student is ready, the master will appear. When the student is really ready, the master will disappear'. Along with the student. 'On who's authority do you choose a guru?' Alan Watts. The minute you make someone a guru, through the illusion of the duality of mind, (self/other) you unwittingly make yourself a student. The master has appeared. When the student has seen through the illusion, the master is no longer the guru. And the student is no longer a student. There was never anything more to seeker, than the activity of seeking itself. The guru and the seeker were both my own doing, my karma. ' I created the light, and I formed the darkness. Good and evil, I made them both. I alone do all these things.' 'Who am 'I'? I saw from history, what the world's earliest seekers where looking for, who they were talking about, looking for me, before I was even born. The eternal, the absolute, Sadhguru Parabrahma, Infinite conciousness, Allah, God. 'Before Abraham was, I am.' Just don't go around telling everyone, it's taboo, they'll call it blasphemy and nail you to a cross. Remember what happened last time? Fuck that again. 🤣☯️♾

@@teryarty177 Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me. I love to learn from anyone, but I am always relying on my own discernment to see if information is true. "Thou shall have no other gods before me" means I shall not place any man above the voice of my own spirit. I do however learn from every human that crosses my path. Through understanding, humility and introspection. Even the little child can be my teacher, but to allow that the ego must be recognised so it will not block the lessons.

@@johnbowen4442 you can easily find balance when you eliminate all the triggers, when you are at home by yourself and no one bothers you. The moment you go outside, things change.

There are different approaches to the Truth. Take the one that fits to you and it will lead you there anyway. Check about neti neti and iti iti

Ram Dass didn't even realize.. he is talking ABCs, concious circle is ABC-XYZ, 100x better

I wish you peace, Joshua.

@@Dtrain927 Thank you. You as well brother.

@@GreatAwakening-s7r 🙏

You have to stop resisting and give in to the void. Then you will finde peace. There is nothing to be afraid of. I struggled the same way. Don't forget there are many ways, to experience. Namaste @Joshua Serino

Technically your true self as energy is the very thing that’s permanent…not even necessarily always being aware of that energy that is life/awareness …this is how I perceive it
