07/20/2007: "Ramama Maharshi"

I have recently been trying this meditation based on the teachings of Bagavhan Sri Ramana Maharshi. Essentially all you have to do is anytime thoughts occur ask yourself "To whom do these thoughts arise?" The answer is naturally "To me" To which you reply "Who am I?" When thoughts are not occuring, "Who am I?" should be the only thought. Thus effectively dismantling the self based on Memes and residing in the capitol S self. I have noticed that I notice less seperation between me and my environment, have less of tendency to reduce my life and other people to stories and images, which will in the long run allow me to connect more deeply. It has been a long sleep, a long time being brainwashed and conditioned, a long time residing in memories and regrets. "But to whom have these thoughts arisen?" "To me", "Who am I?" In Olympia I ended up on a softball team, hung out at a wonderful punk house, had stressful growing experiences, at times worried about impending death because of asthma. Thats enough for now. Have fun. Oh, I'm at a coffee shop on Alberta.
