[15:30]  Maxime Gentil: Contemplation on the I AM ----------------------------
[15:30]  Maxime Gentil: "The seeker is he who is in search of himself. Give up all questions except one: ‘Who am I?’
[15:31]  Maxime Gentil: After all, the only fact you are sure of is that you are. The ‘I AM’ is certain. The ‘I am this’ is not. Struggle to find out what you are in reality.
[15:31]  Maxime Gentil: To know what you are, you must first investigate and know what you are not. Discover all that you are not -- body, feelings thoughts, time, space, this or that --
[15:32]  Maxime Gentil: nothing, concrete or abstract, which you perceive can be you.
[15:32]  Maxime Gentil: The very act of perceiving shows that you are not what you perceive. The clearer you understand on the level of mind you can be described in negative terms only, the quicker will you come to the end of your search and realise that you are the limitless being". - Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

[15:35]  Maxime Gentil: There is the verbal I AM and the non-verbal I AM. e.g. the verbal I AM would say: I am good, bad, attractive... etc... Just cut that off.
[15:35]  Yoga Chakrabarti: Contemplazione sul "io sono..................." - il cercatore è colui che è in cerca di se stesso. lascia stare tutte le domande tranne quella "chi sono io?" Dopo tutto l'unico fatto di cui sei sicuro è che sei. Il "io sono è certo. il "io sono questo" non lo è. Affaticato a cercare cosa sei in realtà.
[15:36]  Maxime Gentil: Let go off anything that is good, bad, etc... and just hold on to the non-verbal I AM. Once you have gotten that clear - no thoughts, memories, emotions associations or perceptions - you have reached the non-verbal state of the I AM.
[15:36]  Maxime Gentil: Lets emphasize it again - or lets go over it again:
[15:37]  Maxime Gentil: If you do not use your thoughts, memories, emotions, associations or perceptions: Are you perfect, imperfect or neither?

[15:37]  Maxime Gentil: If you do not use your thoughts, memories, emotions, associations or perceptions: What does the word perfect or imperfect even mean?
[15:37]  Maxime Gentil: If you do not use your thoughts, memories, emotions, associations or perceptions: Are you worthy, unworthy or neither?
[15:38]  Maxime Gentil: If you do not use your thoughts, memories, emotions, associations or perceptions: What does worty or unworthy even mean?
[15:38]  Mariposa Monentes: scusate, anch'io devo andare:)
