He describes advanced seeker stages (LOC 560 through LOC 589) ready to leap into non-duality.Ramaji covers the non-dual stages in considerable depth. The new non-dual sage goes from local space spontaneity (LOC 600s) to cosmic or universal consciousness (LOC 700s) to divine unknowing (LOC 800s) to, for a few, the hesitant hermit (LOC 900s). Then the sage arrives at and stabilizes in the Self or Absolute (LOC 1000).Ramaji offers case studies, quotes and in-depth research to show how each major non-dual stage is different from the others. He does all he can to describe the nature and experience of the Absolute, helped by quotes from Meister Eckhart, Francis Lucille and Karl Renz. There has never been a book like "1000" before. If you are on the spiritual path in any way, this is a book that you simply cannot be without. Ramaji also points you to his website where you can listen for free to high-energy music he has programmed to support your enlightenment.The complete Map of Awakening with Levels of Consciousness and a condensed Map are included. Complementing the Map of Awakening are studies of 7 traditional spiritual maps of awakening: the Seven Valleys of Sufism, the Five Ranks of Tozan, the 10 Zen Oxherding Pictures, Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, Stages of Advaita Vedanta, the Major Arcana of the Tarot and the Hero's Journey."1000" is a spirited, candid and passionately comprehensive major work. One of their students jokingly referred to "1000" as the "Bible 2.0." You will want YOUR copy of "1000" by Ramaji and Ananda Devi to accompany you on your path!

These early Satsang dialogs with Ramaji are direct and to the point. The modern Advaita and non-duality community has largely neglected the master technique of Self-inquiry provided by the undisputed great Sage, Sri Ramana Maharshi. Ramaji would like to remedy that. Aligned by destiny and joy with first Ramesh and then Ramana, Ramaji speaks from his own experience with this most ancient of spiritual paths, Self-inquiry ("Who am I?"). He addresses the hopes, fears and fantasies of spiritual seekers and redirects his listeners to the reality that spiritual realization requires hard work, dedication and earnest effort. He teaches Self-inquiry in the tradition of Ramana Maharshi with a non-dual Kundalini Tantra twist. This includes investigation of the arising I-thought, the revelation of the Heart on the right and the illumination of Amrita Nadi. Ramaji cuts through to the truth with surgical precision in the spirit of his late Advaita guru Ramesh Balsekar and his divine salvatrix, Kali Ma. Ever since Kali spoke to him in 1982 in the meditation hall at the Vedanta Temple Society in Hollywood, California, the great Hindu goddess of ego death and liberation has guided his personal and spiritual life. Topics covered include how to dissolve the ego (I-thought), the role of Kundalini and the Heart on the right in enlightenment, the "I am the body" thought, non-doership, living in the natural state, non-dual intimate relationships, Tantric Advaita, the art and practice of Self-inquiry meditation, the power of Grace and the importance of the thought-free state. The talks collected here are from private Satsangs about enlightenment and the process of awakening with individuals and small groups in Los Angeles, San Diego, Palm Springs, Santa Barbara and San Francisco, California, Portland, Oregon, Las Vegas, Nevada and Toronto, Canada. Ramaji led his first non-dual Satsang retreat in Toronto in 1994. Ramaji teaches Advaita and non-duality in the San Diego, California area. The easiest way to reach him is via his web site Ramaji.org. Ramaji works with students all over the world via email and Skype. He currently has students in Australia, Thailand, United Kingdom, Brazil, Japan, India, Canada and the United States.

From "No Mind No Problem" by Ramaji... The mind is an endless story machine. It is only creative. It just keeps creating and creating. It doesn't care if what it creates is positive or negative. All it cares it that it keeps creating. Whether you are enlightened or not, the thoughts will keep coming. The difference will be that you will no longer believe your thoughts. If you examine them closely, you will see that they are not telling you the truth. Your thoughts are like dreams telling you what could be, but they act as if they are the truth. That is why you want to question and challenge them. You cannot trust your thoughts. Not only that, you are not your thoughts. You won't be able to get rid of your thoughts. What you will be able to do is stop believing what they are telling you. Then you laugh at them. When you wake up, that will be your freedom. You are not your mind. There is no mind. You are not your thoughts. Your thoughts are like an idiot half-brother who is always speaking nonsense. Every now and then he says something brilliant and useful. But most of the time it is garbage and you will need to discard it. The thoughts will not end, but their "stickiness' will end. That is the ultimate purpose of meditating on and realizing natural pure awareness. You will see the prison that you live in for what it is. You will see for yourself how you put yourself in this prison. You will see how you keep yourself in this prison. You will see that it is all your own action. As a result, you will understand that since you are in charge of your own prison, you are able to set yourself free of it. Nobody else can do it for you. You can definitely do it. Sooner or later, that is what you will end up doing. You will see with precision how you can get yourself out of this prison that you made. You will walk out of this prison a free human being and never look back. When you restore natural pure awareness to its rightful place in the foreground of your experience, you regain your clarity. From clarity arises charity. You act from the vision of correct knowledge. Your life is aligned with the harmonious whole. Life is lived without effort. It is the mind that created the notion of work, the idea of having to overcome obstacles with force. There is only unity, only oneness. Love is all there is, love guided by wisdom and healed by peace. You are already the radiant diamond in the dirt. You do not have to create the diamond. All you have to do is remove the dirt. Take off the mud and refuse that is covering the diamond. Then you are the diamond. The nature of this flawless thought-free diamond wholeness is inherently pure, good, abundant and benevolent. You discover your existence as the cosmic Fullness of Being. This natural pure awareness is you. When it is revealed in all of its glory, you will be amazed that such magnificence could have been so humble. Yet it was and it is, and that is part of its indescribable grandeur. It is beyond great. BONUS TECHNIQUE: Also included is the "Revolutionary Mini-Tornado Addiction Busting Method." This revolutionary healing technique works best when your craving and addiction is at its maximum. So this powerful technique actually works BEST when your addiction is at its WORST! Not only that, this method can overcome or greatly reduce even the most difficult addiction in just hours or days.

No Mind No Problem: Investigate Your Mind, Relax into Pure Being and Discover Your Real Self with Natural Pure Awareness Meditation

This is a short little book to remind you about who and what you really are. If you are familiar with Jiddu Krishnamurti, Nisargadatta Maharaj or Ramana Maharshi, then you may have heard this message. It is not my message. It is the timeless message of the great Spiritual Masters of Advaita, non-duality, yoga and Kundalini. It is what is discovered in deep meditation and Self-inquiry ("Who am I?"). This book is my humble attempt to once again bring the eternal Truth about who and what you really are into the conscious awareness of a special and deeply spiritual person like you. I use everyday language and beautiful photographs from Nature to speak to you in a simple contemporary way. This message is timeless, yet it is right Now. If you are ready, if you are ripe, you will recognize that i am talking about you. You know who you are. I am just reminding you. It is what friends do. This is a short book. It is short on purpose. For one thing, it does not have to be any longer than it is. Also, what I am about to say has been said before. But I am going to say it in a different way. Maybe you will hear it this time more clearly than you did last time. What I am going to tell you is the ultimate secret of life. Though this secret is the greatest secret of all, it is completely free. I am about to tell you the ultimate truth of who and what you are. Because you are already this, there is nothing you have to do to be it. You are already it. You are already your true self. You are already that. However, there is one little problem. You do not know this.

You Are Everything: The Little Book of Knowing Who You Are

Religion & Spirituality

You have covered over your true Self with the false thief thought of "I am this physical body." That potent hypnosis is more than enough to steal from you your glorious birthright as the blessed supreme Self. In the process of waking up from the sleeping state, there is a gap between dreaming and waking where the pure conscious state, the eternal non-state of the supreme Self, emerges and provides support for this major transition. When you think about it, you are moving from one world to another. You are transitioning from the dream or astral universe to the the waking state or physical universe. This is a huge leap in vibrations and consciousness levels, so the Self itself emerges briefly in order to enable continuity during the transition. Being in the astral body while in the dream state, and then suddenly and without warning being conscious in the physical body waking state, it would be noticed that a major leap had occurred. However, unless you are looking for the Self in this gap, you are not likely to see it. This self-luminous Awareness is more subtle than dreams, although the practice of dream recall will support this practice of Self-recall in the morning. Anything that helps you insert the conscious waking state into the sleeping state may help. Although this Awareness is extremely subtle, in this special moment it comes forward. Therefore, this is the time when it is most easily perceived and grasped. The practice itself is very straightforward. If you cannot be aware of the entire waking up process itself, then immediately assert being consciously aware of your conscious awareness (waking state) the instant that you become aware of it. In other words, the VERY INSTANT that you recognize that you have become conscious and are transitioning into the waking state associated with the physical body, in that instant you choose to WAKE UP. What happens is that you then wake up WITHIN THE GAP. You deliberately become conscious within this gap. You relax awake into clear seeing and an opening appears that you did not see before. This opening becomes your entry point from which you can unravel the entire addiction mechanism. Likewise, you can enter as lucid clear knowing when you wake up in the morning by using the special effortless Morning Meditation. With practice, you will discover that you are not the body. In fact, you are the Light of the Awareness. The gap will get longer and longer. You will gain confidence that you are, indeed, the Self. Eventually, you will be able to stabilize in the Self and your perception of who you are and what the world is will be changed forever. You will know directly from within that you are the Self and that the world is the Self. You will know for sure that "I AM THAT." TABLE OF CONTENTS WHY ANOTHER BOOK ON SELF-INQUIRY MEDITATION?

Waking Up As Awareness: 12 Simple Steps to Spontaneous Natural Meditation on Your True Self as Radiant Spacious Presence

The Tao of Non-Doing: A Carefree Commentary on the Natural Effortless Way of the Master Lao Tzu For this book, I have taken some liberties. To start off with, the "Tao Te Ching" is a sacred text within the Taoist tradition of China, not the Advaita or non-dualistic tradition of India. But I was struck by how eloquently Lao Tzu describes the state of non-doership that is a prominent marker in Advaita of awakening. Classic Advaita, including the contemporary non-dual offerings, tends to be on the dry side. I very much enjoyed Lao Tzu's lively and poetic approach. Working from the brilliant and still authoritative translation of the "Tao Te Ching" by James Legge (1891), I extracted those sections which speak directly about the realized sage and how the sage lives a carefree spontaneous life day after day as he drinks from the joyful cup of non-dual awareness. You will find that some chapters of the "Tao Te Ching" are missing. This is on purpose. I have included only those portions of the "Tao Te Ching" that spoke directly on the topic of non-doership and living spontaneously as the non-dual Self. My reason for taking this approach is threefold. First, the Tao Te Ching talks about all kinds of stuff, some of it very political. I think this can get very confusing. Second, the biggest issue that people seem to deal with nowadays is doing vs. non-doing (or "cosmic doing"). The burden of "being the doer" creates stress, agitation, confusion, discouragement and depression. The true nature of so-called "non-doership" or non-doing ("cosmic doing") is not very clear for people. Teaching about "non-doing" is something the "Tao Te Ching" excels at - but this excellence gets lost amid the wealth of so many other great insights into so many other interesting topics. Third and finally, I am approaching it from the perspective of Advaita (non-duality). By doing this, I hope to illuminate Advaita by way of the Tao, and illuminate the Tao by way of Advaita. So, here it is... The TAO of your true Self and the art of effortless living via the sage's truth of non-doing. Here are some excerpts. Enjoy. In Search of Mr. Tao's Autograph... It's sound so exotic - the TAO! We can imagine Hollywood spotlights. Mr. Tao steps out of the gold-plated limousine. After all, is he not ruler of the world? Is he not the source supreme? But instead nothing appears. The spotlights go dim and blink off. The shoulders of the people slump. Another disappointment. That Mr. Tao... just who does he think he is? Meanwhile, across the street in a funky bar, Mr. Tao hangs with some friends. One of the fans, thirsty from a long night of waiting, crosses the street and goes into the bar for a drink. He spies Mr. Tao and rushes up to get his autograph. Surprising everyone, Mr. Tao agrees to sign the fan's T-shirt. Thanking Mr. Tao profusely, he forgets his thirst and walks out into the night. Suddenly, without warning, rain tumbles from the sky, drenching everything. When he gets home, his shirt is clean, but Mr. Tao's signature is gone. The rain gives life yet fails to take credit. If it took credit, it could not give life. To find out who you really are, write your name in water. The rain is coming, so wear your dirty clothes. Dance in the rain until you drop. When you stand up, look into the heart of the sun. If you are lucky, you will go blind and never see the world again. One thing you know for sure: Your clothes are clean. Breathe in. Breathe out. If there was more, nobody would get it. Chapter 1 - Tao Te Ching The Tao that can be trodden is not the enduring and unchanging Tao. The name that can be named is not the enduring and unchanging name. Commentary on Chapter 1 - Tao Te Ching We are walking the "pathless path." How exactly do you do that? When you were born, you were given a name. So you must ask yourself two questions: Is this body who I really am? Is my name really my name? Answer those questions and the rest will be a cinch.

THE AMAZING MIND LASER TECHNIQUE You have never seen anything like this easy yet powerful self-healing method. Until the publication of this complete training course, it was known to only a few thousand people in the entire world. Everything you need to know, though, is in this comprehensive guide. You get trained in all three levels: Basic, Intermediate and Advanced. Nothing has been held back or left out. You have all you need right at your fingertips to become a master at "Mind Laser" healing. If you like, you will be able to help others, family and friends, and not just yourself. This includes your children. Kids are a natural at this method. The method you are about to learn was once the secret property of Buddhist monks in Southeast Asia. The monks kept it to themselves. Concerned only with enlightenment, it seems they did not care much about this powerful self-healing technique. Mind Laser Technique is a spin-off from their main meditation system (Vipassana or body-sweeping meditation). HOW MIND LASER TECHNIQUE HELPS PEOPLE I would like to inspire and motivate you a little bit. So here is a short list of problems that people have used Mind Laser Technique on. They were able to significantly reduce the problem or totally eliminate from their lives. Frankly, I'm not sure if there is anything that cannot be helped with Mind Laser Technique. Here's how I see it. Just as the power of the human mind is virtually unlimited, so is the power of the Mind Laser Technique method since its results come directly from a special concentrated use of the mind. There are many factors involved in self-healing. These include the person's motivation. As the saying goes "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink." With Mind Laser Technique, YOU are the DOER. It is your action, your will, your effort, your DO-ing. There is nothing passive about it. It is so simple that children find it easier to do than adults. No meditation background is required, although it may help. Physical Problems Helped by Mind Laser Headache, backache, joint ache, various pains, arthritis, sinus congestion, constipation, diabetes, cancer, lupus, internal organ dysfunction, shingles, soreness, menstrual cramps, epilepsy, paralysis... just to name a few. Psychological Addictions Helped by Mind Laser Smoking addiction, alcohol addiction, drug addiction, gambling addiction, anger addiction, sex addiction, porn addiction... and more. Stress and Mental Anguish Helped by Mind Laser Anxiety, panic attacks, paranoia, depression, claustrophobia, split personality, schizophrenia, hallucinations, feeling possessed, inability to concentrate, anger and many other fears and phobias... and more. "FIGURES OF SPEECH" AND MIND LASER TECHNIQUE It is popular to use "figures of speech" or body metaphors to describe physical, emotional and mental problems. These expressions describe the stuck "stuff" ("faint matter" or "energy blockage") that the Mind Laser Technique detects and eliminates using the focused power of your mind. — foggy head — head in a vise — band across the head — pressure on the temples — gives you a headache — stabbing pain like a knife — lump in the throat — too hard to swallow — too much to swallow — a pain in the neck — all choked up — butterflies in stomach — stomach tied up in knots — my hands are tied — my lips are sealed — get under your skin — rub you the wrong way — feeling pins and needles TABLE OF CONTENTS Welcome to "Mind Laser" Self-Healing What Is the Mind Laser Technique?

There has been an explosion of non-duality dialog on our planet. Even so, the direct approach of Self-inquiry, the "Who Am I?" Meditation from the living tradition of Sri Ramana Maharshi, is not well represented. Ramaji remedies the situation by providing a wealth of practical tips and methods based on Sri Ramana's original teachings. The highly effective approach that you will learn in this book was fine-tuned over several fruitful years. It is based on Ramaji's tireless efforts to help modern students and his considerable success with them around the world. The guidance and insights provided here are direct from Ramaji's own spiritual journey. His advice and teachings will be found to be backed by Sri Ramana Maharshi's own words. Ramaji presents from his firsthand experience only. If he has not experienced it himself, then he does not talk about it. The engaging question/answer format facilitates easy digestion of deep truths. Ramaji presents beginning, intermediate and advanced Who Am I? Meditation (Self-inquiry) for Western readers, eliminates student doubts, exposes life-changing secrets of the I-thought, reveals the true nature of the Heart on the right, and provides a precise proven path to Self-realization in this very lifetime. Those ready to work with Ramaji directly can reach him via his website Ramaji.org or meet him in person at the monthly San Diego satsang. Advaita or non-duality can be successfully practiced by any dedicated person. Though the outward circumstances and lifestyle of Western seekers appears to be radically different than that of monks, yogis, sadhus and other professional spiritual practitioners, in fact it makes no difference at all. This book shares the practical tips and insights that enable a strong Self-inquiry meditation practice under any and all circumstances. Everything is explained in vivid detail so that any highly motivated person can achieve Self-realization and full enlightenment in this very life.
