Rays of the Absolute - Stephen H. Wolinsky Ph. D.

Ramana Maharishi: Trace the “I” thought
Meditation: from where does that thought arise?
Meditation: To where is that thoughts subside?
The preliminary steps of most “spiritual practice”, is to
shift attention away from the gross physical body,
the subtle body or mind, thoughts, memory, emotions,
associations etc.
and place the attention on the space with a small “s”,
the casual body or gap with a small “g” or blank with
a small “b”, which is the gap or space between two
thoughts.
Metaphorically, the subtle body or dream body or
mind of thoughts, memory, emotions, associations,
perceptions, etc. originates from the casual body.
Metaphorically, the observer as “me”, or the sense of
“my” originates from the casual body.
Metaphorically, the witness as “me” which witnesses
“my” thoughts memory etc. originates from the casual
body.
Metaphorically, the sense of presence originates from
the casual body.
Metaphorically, the one who is mindful originates from
the casual body.
Metaphorically, the knower of “my” mind originates
from the casual body.
Metaphorically, the subtle body or dream body or mind
of thoughts etc. originates from the casual body.
This is why the mind persists.
