Walmart have some and the ' buy one, get one free ' is still on offer :smile:

That guy belongs in a heavy metal band.

Personally, I'm not into the whole guru thing, but Ramana's principle of self inquiry seems sensible, because should one want to know themself, then they can look to find out who they are... though it might take some persistence in returning attention to the self.

I read something the other day;

Rene Descartes: "I think therefore I am"
Hindu Holy Man: "I am therefore I think".

Shivani: "Am is, therefore I'm not"

You can't really 'know yourself' in as much as the mind can't 'think itself'...so, you can ask "who am I?" but the only answer you'll ever get from doing that is "who is asking who am I?"

Are you talking of having been one of the 'saptarishis' (seven rishi's) ?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saptarishi

Namaste.

The Saptarishis were also known as the Ascended Masters.

For some reason, I have a very strong memory of sitting with 6 others at the dawn of civilisation, at the feet of the Great Guru...the Adi guru, Adi Deva...we spoke not, took silent instruction and the essence of the universe was instilled into our hearts.

I am either one of those rishis in human form, or I am a disciple of Adi Shankaracharya in a past existence. I have had many flashes and visions of this.

"Sapta Rishis are the hierarchy working under the guidance of the highest creative intelligence, Paramatma.................They are naturally the most evolved 'light beings' in the creation and the guardians of the divine laws."


So you are one of the incarnated " most evolved 'light beings' in creation"

By what I read in your posts about your life, this does not seems to be the case.

Seems more like a portion of ego-delusion. :smile:

.

Namaste.

You also realise, of course, that I would anticipate such a reply after making such a bold announcement, so your reaction isn't surprising in the least. :wink:

However, consider this for a moment...bear with me.

Mahadeva Shiva is one of the most, if not the most evolved being of light in all creation.

The posts relating to my unimportant, personal life are part of that whole 'ego delusion' when according to all of the scriptures and philosophies in existence, I am Shiva!

So, if one could make the claim to be God themselves, what's the harm in taking a slight backdown to be one of the direct servants of God?

Does it take more 'ego' for me to say that I am an enlightened being with historical significance, or for you to say that I am not?...or would it just be much easier if I cut the whole masquerade and said I was Shiva in the flesh?

Om Namah Shivaya

Ego says.....

Whenever one opens the mouth it's the ego who speaks, doesn't make the reality and more or less true than it is though.

True discrimination between truth and falsehood is also important on the spiritual path.

That you claim on internet to be a living incarnation of one of the seven rishi's is an example of ego-delusion and falsehood.

The lack of discrimination to see that, IS the problem.
