Anthony is in prison for life and appreciates these Awakin' reflections - thanks for all you do!
His response: To renounce internally is non-doership. Action, with no sense of I as the doer.
Really, all thoughts are ultimately untrue because they are the product of the distorted, conditioned mind.
Ramana Maharishi' s spiritual teachings have always resonated with me. Ramana implores us to seek out the source of I through the inquiry who am I? When we inquire in that manner we discover that the I is nowhere to be found. The I is nothing more than a thought so without thought the I ceases to exist.
Another teaching of Ramana's is to never focus on the seen but on that which sees. When we turn the attention inward toward that which sees we discover our true essence, Pure thought free Consciousness.
JT response - Whenever I am reminded to focus on that which "sees" it takes me to a place of peace.
