I can't remember which CD, but if you want to listen it is in Out of Your Mind: Essential Listening From the Alan Watts Audio Archives [AUDIOBOOK].
Ramana Maharshi's makes perfect sense to me...not abstract at all. Ramana's work is my favorite. |
I've heard of Alan Watts but I haven't checked him out yet. Thanks.
I find Ramana's self enquiry method difficult because my "self" is so damn elusive. I guess that's because the self is non-continuous. It pops in and out of existence with each thought. Just when I think I have my awareness trained on that sense of self, it disappears and a new thought pops up! Frustrating.
