Being Aware of Awareness Guided Meditations from Awakening Together Podcasts

In this episode quotes from Ramana Maharshi and Dr. David Hawkins were contemplated. 

"There is only the Self. When unlimited, it is the absolute. When limited, it is the ego." ~Ramana Maharshi

"The technique is to refuse interest in the specificity of thoughts and stop trying to recognize or read them." ~Dr. David Hawkins

"With sharp focus, it becomes apparent that thoughts can be relinquished earlier and earlier in the process of their emergence and formation. ...by doing this it becomes amazingly apparent that one thinks only as a consequence of desiring to do so, and that thoughts and images only have an imaginary value." 

~Dr. David Hawkins

In this episode questions, with answers from Ramana Maharshi, were contemplated:

"Questioner:

How to get peace?

Maharshi:

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 and questions from Helen Hamilton's book, Reality Check, Chapter 3 were contemplated.

In this episode, quotes from Ramana Marharshi were contemplated. "What does one gain, you may well ask, by giving up the wealth immense of worldly pleasure and seeking only mere Awareness? The benefit of true Awareness is the unbroken prevalence of peace within the heart, the bliss of one's own natural being."

In this episode, quotes from Dr. David Hawkins were contemplated.

"Although the personal will and motivation, plus the mind and intellect, are strong tools, in and of themselves they do not have the strength to dissemble the ego because they are part and parcel of it. However, once a seeker becomes devoted, the strength of the spiritual Will via the Presence of the Self supplies the necessary power."

In this episode, excerpts from Helen Hamilton's, Dissolving the Ego, Chapter 21: Self Inquiry, were contemplated.

"Self-inquiry is a very simple technique that acts like a mirror in which instead of assuming we know what we are we are finally able to say, "I do not know what this sense of 'I' is."

In this episode, the mediation is focused on contemplation of the Truth of what we are.

In this episode, excerpts from Regina Dawn Aker's, Holy Spirit's Interpretation of The New Testament, were contemplated. NTI Hebrews, Chpt 1. "You rise above your own thoughts, your misperceptions of yourself, and through awareness of what is true, and through your awareness that the false was never true, you anoint yourself with the soul of your own joy."

In this episode, quotes are contemplated from Dr David Hawkins, "in the beginning, a seeker assumes there is a personal self that is seeking the real Self. Actually, it is the real Self that is drawing the seeker to it." If you'd like more information here's a link to a YouTube video.
