"Observe the way your mind moves, works, without having any preconceived ideas about it.
A moment will come when you discover yourself to be the witness.
Subsequently, when all striving has left you, you will realize that you are the light shining beyond the observer. Reality is neither a product of the mind nor the result of a whole train of thoughts, it just is.
The only method we can suggest is to observe impartially the way in which your mind reacts in the different circumstances of everyday life."
"Do not nourish the ideas you have built around yourself nor the image people have of you. Be neither someone nor something, just don't play the game. This will bring about being, constant awareness.”
''The very instant thoughts and feelings arise you have not the slightest notion of being a person, the ego is totally absent. The ego itself is no more than a thought and two thoughts cannot take form simultaneously.
Identification with the ego only comes into being once the thought concerning the object has subsided. Then it claims this thought as its own.
Once this becomes obvious, you realize that the servitude (to the mind) you previously took to be real is but an illusion, your true nature transcends it."

Be As You Are: Ramana Mharshi, Quotes
"'I exist' is the only permanent self-evident experience of everyone. Nothing else is so self-evident as 'I am'. What people call self-evident, that is, the experience they get through the senses, is far from self-evident. The Self alone is that. So to do self-enquiry and be that 'I am' is the only thing to do. 'I am' is reality. I am this or that in unreal. 'I am' is truth, another name for Self."
"The mind is nothing other than the 'I'-thought. The mind and the egoare one and the same. The other mental faculties such as the intellect and memory are only this. Mind [manas], intellect [buddhi], the storehouse of mental tendencies [chittam], and ego [ahamkara]; all these are only the mind itself."

I is the light of Awareness that shines upon all things
""Christianity: "Jesus said: "I" is the light (of awareness) that shines upon all things. "I" is the All from which everything emanates and to which everything returns." (Thomas, 186)
Enlightenment is the sudden recognition that non-duality is, has always been, and will always be the reality of our experience. Duality is an illusion. Consciousness is not private and personal, but impersonal, universal, and eternal. There is no limited personal entity, no conscious ego. The ego is a perceived object, not the all perceiving awareness.
Self realization is the subsequent stabilization in the peace, happiness and freedom of our natural state. The world, seen in the light of impersonal awareness, reveals itself as a permanent miracle, a divine display that celebrates its invisible source.

End Game-- by Charlie Hayes
"As John Wheeler reminded me (Charlie Hayes) repeatedly “Understanding is the key.” Understanding comes form investigation. Get really curious to see what this I is that claims “there’s no meaning" or "it’s all empty and numb somehow”. That is “the end game”. Get down to brass tacks: what IS this assumed sense of life, sense of being, that still operates as a seemingly separate me-person despite the insight that happened." Quote

"There is no YOU to be 'enlightened.' You are not your thoughts, emotions, and body. You are the spaciousness in which they arise. Stay with your deep conviction or notion until you see the truth of this for yourself. When I say to remain with this, I don't mean that you should concentrate or meditate. Just naturally and easily ponder it. In that way, you will have your answer, an answer that has always been in plain view."

Perceiving-(the truth), Francis Lucille
"We can perceive the body and the world free from any psychological interference, free from the superimposition of a ‘me,’ from fear and desire, from like and dislike. See just the facts, the facts of the world, of the body, of the mind as they arise.
See also the tendency of fixation of the attention either in some form of thought running in circles or some form of bodily sensation, a localization of the body. The mind always wants to have something, some object to chew on. The restlessness of the mind has to be completely seen." _ Francis Lucille
