In this episode an excerpt from the book Inner Ramana by Regina Dawn Akers was contemplated. "The mind is not constant.

In this episode a quote from Ramana Maharshi was contemplated.  "Only one's own awareness is direct knowledge, as is the common experience of one and all. No aids are needed to know one's own Self, i.e., to be aware." 

In this episode quotes from Ramana Maharshi were contemplated. "None can deny his own being. Being is knowledge, i.e., awareness. That awareness implies absence of ignorance. And yet why should he suffer? Because he thinks he is this or that. That is wrong. 'I am' alone is; and not 'I am so and so', or 'I am such and such.' When existence is absolute it is right. When it is particularized it is wrong. That is the whole truth."

In this episode quotes from Ramana Maharshi were contemplated. "That is the natural state. The mind obstructs the innate peace. Our investigation is only in the mind. Investigate the mind; it will disappear. There is no entity by name mind. Because of the emergence of thoughts we surmise something from which they start. That we term mind. When we probe to see what it is, there is nothing like it. After it has vanished, peace will be found to remain eternal."

In this episode excerpts from Helen Hamilton's book, Dissolving the Ego, were contemplated. "This practice is aimed at getting the focus of attention back on to what we know for certain. As much as our mind may resist this eventually we must come to a moment of honesty where we finally admit that all our thoughts about what we are have not been proven. The only thing we know for certain is that we exist."

"As I watch these two side-by-side screens (of mind and heart), I can see that the heart knows that to be God's light is to let go of all conceptual constraints and BE the full energy, or vibration, of what I Am. And that energy/vibration is all forms of light itself."
