The Teachings of Inner Ramana

Awakening Together

Religion & Spirituality

Frequency: 1 episode/6d. Total Eps: 30

Indian sage Sri Ramana Maharshi seemed to die in 1950 but in 2009, after Regina Dawn Akers prayed for something to take her to the next step on her spiritual path, she started hearing messages from him as her inner teacher. The book "The Teachings of Inner Ramana" is the result. It teaches three tools – surrender, mantra and self-inquiry – which work together to help break the addiction to the chattering mind. This podcast uses edited audios from a group Regina led in the study of the book in 2016 as well as videos from 2011.

16. The Only Choice is Where, Moving from Resistor to Abiding in Self & The Missing Ramana Message

Season 1 · Episode 16

Saturday, February 3, 2024 • Duration 34:01

In the final episode in this series, Regina Dawn Akers teaches from the following three messages from Inner Ramana: The Only Choice is Where, Moving from Resistor to Abiding in Self (starts 14:06), and The Missing Ramana Message (starts 19:03).

The first message explains why "knowing your Heart is your only business." You can learn more about the themes in it here: https://awakening-together.org/day-323-tip/

The second and third messages are about three states of mind: Resistor– The state of mind when we fully believe the body-mind-personality is what we are. Doubter– The state of mind when we learn about Truth and question everything we believed as resistor. Abiding– The state of mind when we embrace Truth as our reality and live from that instead of from thought.

Learn more about these stages at https://awakening-together.org/gentle-healing-2-day-324-moving-from-resistor-to-abiding-in-self/ and https://awakening-together.org/day-326-tip/

In this episode, Regina says: "What he's really asking us to do at the end of the book is to step off the bridge into abiding and just trust that you will know what you are to know in every moment."

15. Pain and Purification & Full-time Inquiry for Self

Season 1 · Episode 15

Saturday, January 27, 2024 • Duration 38:30

The Pain and Purification message from Inner Ramana is the first message discussed today. Regina says ⁠elsewhere⁠* that this message cannot be understood by the mind, so it might be helpful to practice awareness-watching-awareness before contemplating it in order to break the attachment to mind and come from a place of Self-realization. Regina also says that the Self does not experience pain, the only thing that experiences pain is the mind. When you believe that you experience pain, you are identified with the mind. Awareness as attention has projected itself into thought and imagines itself to be thought. It is like watching virtual reality from what appears to be within virtual reality. “If you place your identity with the false identity ‘I’ in the thinking mind, then you experience everything it thinks up to prove that it exists. …“...But this does not change the fact that you are not it, and it and the experiences that come from it are fully and perfectly illusion.” ~ Excerpt from the Pain and Purification message from Inner Ramana Just as the Self does not experience pain, the Self does not require purification. It has never been anything but pure. Neither can the mind be purified. All you can do is see that the mind does not exist and that you are not the mind. Thus, the purpose of purification is not to change or improve the mind, it is the process of disengaging from the mind, disregarding its chatter and instead listening to wisdom. It involves seeing that the mind is not real and the mind is not what I am. Full-time Inquiry for Self The Full-time Inquiry for Self message (Regina starts this at the 29:00 minute mark) urges you to seek the awareness of Self at all times and in all circumstances. It says Self-realization is all that matters and if you make it your only purpose, it “shall certainly become your reward.” Assignment for week 15: Practice enquiry with everything, whether you're having a shower, doing the dishes, watching a movie, and so on. Really try to keep focused on awareness by inquiring into every experience that you can inquire into.

14. A Contract for Awakening & The Grace of the Guru

Season 1 · Episode 14

Saturday, January 20, 2024 • Duration 20:35

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."

13. The Mind that Thinks it is Lord

Season 1 · Episode 13

Friday, January 19, 2024 • Duration 26:47

This week’s message is about surrender. Regina says that in order to fully realize the lesson in the message, you need to surrender to the message.

“Confusion comes from judgment or deciding or thinking one knows without checking with me. This is the core of all confusion, and without this one error, confusion becomes impossible.” ~ excerpt from The Mind that Thinks it is Lord message from Inner Ramana

Assignment for week 13: Continue to practice surrender but try the mantra "Abide in me as I abide in you" and say it as often as you remember to say it.
