| Summary of Tape No 30B 29 June 1978 "Ramana Maharishi's Approach" |
| This conversation with Bartholomew focused on spiritual teachings and methods for self-discovery.
Bartholomew discussed the "Who am I?" approach of Ramana Maharishi, emphasizing its use as a method of turning within to experience the true Self or Source. The dialogue explored the concepts of thought energy and the illusion of separateness as well as the gradual emergence of a higher awareness when energy is withdrawn from reactive thought forms and refocused on the Self or the "blue void." Questions were raised regarding the apparent conflict between individuality and the non-dual understanding of the Self, with insights into spiritual frameworks such as free will. The conversation then shifted to a discussion about the Brotherhood's spiritual mission on Earth, involving energetic shifts, receptivity to spiritual blueprints, and the importance of meditative practices that focus on internal spaces over external forms. |
