Rid of Female—Ramana’s Gift
I take a good look at Ramana Maharshi’s
I’m with a couple people; one of them is a tall, thin
female. She’s addressing a person to my
right front, & suddenly, I kick her in the lower abdomen, she being thrown
back all the way to the wall nearby, exclaiming,
“I don’t like you any more!”
*{I cut off relations with a female that has abused, hurt
& annoyed me all my life & was still doing so. It was the last straw that broke the camel’s
back. And I finally, for the first time
in my life felt I’d had enough of her for forever & never want to
communicate with her again. She was
startled as she has never admitted her abuse of me & pretends to love me,
which is a LIE.
Who is she talking to to my right front? Could be a symbol of my God Self. Not sure about this, but she hounds me for
prayer & yet her requests are like seeking Santa Clause or Black Magic, she
sees God as someone to USE, not obey.}*
She is startled & we are on some kind of project, so I
say,
“I’ll stick this through {the quest we’re on} but after that,
no more.”
*{The quest could be the healing of her spouse which made
me give her permission to interrupt my sadhana—he had a serious problem. Although
I got rid of her I continue to pray for him daily….The other quest I am on is
to SEE GOD FACE TO FACE which all this relates to, it is my life.}*
So she, myself & another female go on with our
journey/quest & we walk through the city looking for a dwelling where we
temporarily stay – a place given us by a male, his own apt, while he’s away, we
can stay here for a while – is it a weekend?
*{I suspect the MALE to be Ramana Maharshi, who I studied
for hours yesterday again & prayed to him a long time. His DWELLING or apt
is a state of consciousness that I am receiving from him – ditto whoever is
with me. Who is the other lady? - Could
be a Guardian Angel. It’s significant
that
The lady I kicked – let’s call her
Her clothing is a slim beige knitted dress; she seems to be
‘holding herself in’ bodily, like arms glued to her ribs type look.
I am concerned how I look.
I have on some sort of bra that holds my breasts up & out & a
full skirt, & my hair has got loosed & something is holding it
together. Not a bad look, but not my
ideal but I keep going as there is no opportunity to fix myself.
*{How I look that I am concerned about is my state of
mind/heart/consciousness. I’m not
satisfied but it’s the best I could do for now so I just keep going. Hair loose, but held together at bottom is
THOUGHTS. Breasts held up & high is
LOVE. Loose skirt could be celibacy? }*
We get to this man’s apt, a break in our sojourn, a respite,
a welcome harbor.
*{We get to the CONSCIOUSNESS of Ramana Maharshi. – Where
he dwells, which he permits us to partake in for a while.}*
The first room is so neat & clean I’m amazed that a man
lives here. Not a thing out of
place. It’s kind of like the room you
use I suppose for cooking & dining & everything, but I can’t recall too
many details, except I touched one thing that looked like a place where you put
laundry, with decorative soft cloth on the top & bottom, I touched it &
got it somewhat awry & struggled to put it back neatly.
I don’t see the lady I kicked but the other one remains in
this front room – only the thought of
This room is also incredibly neat & clean. The first was about 28’ X 18’ & this is
much larger, maybe 40’ X 20’. And the
end of the room is facing the street, & it has a corner, where the solid
glass walls go around & there’s like 20’ to the front & another 15’ or
so to the side of complete glass. Here
we see a sidewalk – not a bustling business district but a quieter place but
not completely quiet, within the view are at least 20 people walking to &
fro, male & female, wearing all sorts of colors including soft red. And tall trees shading the walk plus grass
between the cement walk & the street for cars. As with the first room where I only assumed
it’s purpose as kitchen/dining but saw no implements or furniture like that,
this room also I only sense a grand piano but don’t actually see it, nor do I
see a bed, where I assume this would be a bedroom.
What amazes me is that in this day & age a place like
this would cost a FORTUNE – how he afforded this I don’t know & what is
most striking is the convenient location; neatness, cleanliness, order, &
although he is not IN the world he can see it walking by. How LUCKY we are to have this man’s
permission to settle here for some days.
I sense it might be
*{Without
a doubt, this is the state Ramana Maharshi was in after he got a large
clientele who believed in him. [He did nothing to gain them, they merely
gathered because they believed he was One with God]. He remained in his PRISTINE, calm,
God-Centered [he calls it Self] state, while the world & people swarmed or
lived around him, but he was SEPARATED from them by his [glass walls] or
INVISIBLE blocks. He was here, they were
there – he could see them but he was not in the street [in the world
consciousness-which is where we suffer-the red clothing-which Buddha & he
agree on] with them, his own world. The clean, neat state presented is the
God-centered state of NONDUALITY/ADVAITA where the world disappears, being DEAD
TO SELF- the self being EGO – ego/connection to the world & people: Being one of them, the Broad Highway to Hell,
the multiplicity of things, the minutiae of this life – dozens, hundreds & thousands
of connections to time & space [NO TIME & SPACE in the God-Self state]. When this is left behind, what is left is
peace, calm, pristine or clean heart that wants only God [desires cause
suffering Buddha said-desires of the world & flesh] & sees ony God –
God being one’s Source, the immutable Essence of Being, the Primordial Spirit
we come from & will return to.
People who die & come back speak of this, but it is possible to go
here while physically alive. Ramana – it
is important to note – went through a QUASI-DEATH EXPERIENCE at the age of
16. His Dad had died when he was 12, it
must have had a profound effect on his life as everything changed, he went to
live with an Uncle, other children went with other relatives. At 16 he suddenly harbored a terrible fear of
death & instead of running from it he accepted it, & went through the
imagination of dying, having rigor mortis set in & all that death
means. And in an instant there was a
switch, a change from this mortal consciousness to the Eternal & this
stayed him his entire life! Here you have a man who had an NDE without physical
death!
I
am delighted that he let me enter into his state & see it, understand it,
be in it. I have my own inner state – it
has been similar to his, & all of us have an Inner Life if we treasure it. It is called Self Realization. Ramana rightly said that when we remove the
layers of illusion re reality – that this world is REAL – we uncover the deeper
true reality, & that is Self Realization. That’s the goal I’ve been
following almost 2 months [been there, done that long ago-1981-82], am getting
closer & closer – distractions harm the way. Getting rid of
Excellent work, Rasa! This one came out great, with great artwork and plenty of cute fuzzies as well. Looks like things are really looking up for you now, especially since you no longer have that parasitic-demonic "Georgia" weighing you down. Best of luck with your sadhana 😊

P.S. To make a pun, Georgia is no longer on your mind, lol.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I found this excellent guided meditation video that would be quite apropos IMHO:
