Asato Ma

Chanting of a chant combining affirmation, negation and self-inquiry, the three pillars of nondual awakening as outlined in the teachings of Ramana Maharshi.  

The chant goes "vigraha naham" (i am not this body), "indriya naham" (i am not these senses), "vrittiya naham" (i am not these thoughts), "kutaham" (where am I?), "so ham" (i am That).

The chant can also be done w/the inquiry "where am I?" on the inhale, and the a negation "i am not this..." on the exhale, through three rounds and then on the fourth and fifth rounds on the exhale do the affirmation "i am That".

This is the first in a series of three recordings on the presentation "Uncaused, Lasting, Happiness" at the Truth and Transmission (TAT) Gathering in Charles Town, WV in June 16, 2018 focused on "In Search Of Happiness".

How neuroscience and our evolved psychological behaviors from 75,000 years ago, need major updating if we are going to survive in today's multi-faceted, and massively-interconnected world.   The dangers of confirmation bias, social media and fake news.  The illusion of "compassion" which is mistaken for "reciprocal altruism".  How to right-size your ego.

The third part of the "Lasting, Uncaused, Happiness" presentation at the Truth and Transmission (TAT) Gathering in Charles Town, WV on June 16, 2018 focused on "In Search of Happiness".

This part looks at the neuroscience behind control, free will, nondual awakening and our faulty memories in today's world.  What is needed for nondual awakening?  Do we have control, or do we only believe that we do?  Can our long-term memories be believed?
