Listen "14. A Contract for Awakening & The Grace of the Guru"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Regina Dawn Akers starts by teaching the Contract about Awakening message from Inner Ramana, which she says is about noticing which source you are. Are you the chatter in the mind or are you the heart?
If you look at your willingness and your desire for devotion and say, "That's me", you're reminding yourself which source you really are.
Excerpt from A Contract for Awakening message from Inner Ramana: "Your identification with the mind is the obstacle to knowing the beauty of your true Self. It is this identity that makes you blind. When you judge me and when you judge life by the mind's standards, you throw a blanket over the truth, and you choose not to see."
Regina starts teaching the The Grace of the Guru message at about the 15:52 minute mark.
Excerpt from the The Grace of the Guru message from Inner Ramana:"It is as if I have come to abide in your Heart for a time. I have lit a campfire there and I sit by that fire singing the songs of the Heart. But that is only so you can hear yourself more clearly and recognize your Self above the chatter of the mind, so you may return to you there in the center of the Heart."
Assignment for week 14: Inner Ramana says to practice everything he teaches. As you do that, whenever you notice willingness, whenever you notice devotion, whenever you notice desire for God, whisper to yourself, "That's me. That willingness is my voice."
