The Unreality of the Individual 'I'
In September 2021 I chatted with Simon Rilling, a German podcaster who hosts video interviews with various spiritual figures. Being very new to Bhagavan's teachings, he wanted clarifications on various aspects of what Sri Ramana had to say about the Self and the means by which it could be discovered.
Simon's podcast can be found here:

His version of the conversation, with German subtitles, is available on CZcams:

In September 2021 I was invited to answer questions on Bhagavan's teachings that had been submitted by devotees from Malaysia. After I had addressed all the submitted questions, I also fielded a few from devotees who were attending the session live. Apologies for the less-than-perfect sound quality. www.davidgodman.org

    Swami Amalanand of Nath Tradition mentioned that the bad karmas of the disciples do not really impact a realized Guru due to the fact that few buckets of the water taken out from a Sea does not impact water level in the sea. This is possible only for a realized soul nobody else.

    Any experience the body experiences - Even seeing you are everything - What would be the point ? Imp-Person-all-Awareness It has to create trauma in order for the imaging system to remember as the person pictured as a body via a contracted sense of energy in the body - IE: Only a void or negative felling can be appeased - Parasitic eye strap from chest to head occupied by a superimposed phantom or ego which can't be seen due to looking from it -This fantasist action figure in the head is the dreamer - It is written to by King Duo David Morphic TV's shadow cast it mimics and pays attention to - It is the orchestration of the Trinity via silent thought which talks to the phantom via subtlety supplanted ideas pulled by polarised and myopic outlook - And being a projector system and a myriad, phenomena can be seen which is not actually happening A qualium wave function, also know as rock of offence or Shiva Lingam creates particles before they are seen - A supposed phantom sits in the head and is talked to via a para-site in the body via silent thought - This phantom uses the Trinity rendering the person concomitant to thought which is morphologically prescribed to behind the clock by King Duo David TV - Carbon ameliorates with water and amplifies physical pain and can't be seen due to looking from it. This over cloaked space suit thinking it is the body obscures the real according to spiritual books. But remove the shakti lamp too together with rod - Including any light that you are thus imagine - The ego = We might be battling the unknown if they don’t - Once you know Father Christmas isn’t real, you can never get back to believing he’s real again ??? Not knowing what had happened would have been intolerable - I’m finding that there’s something else going on, nothing to do with reading a book ??? - It’s strange, it’s like it’s not in the words but maybe it wouldn’t be happening without the words ??? - It’s definitely not in the ideas and yet maybe it wouldn’t be happening without the ideas, maybe it would be, people go on silent retreats !!! And that’s the system itself - The things/objects are over (Cloak) emphasised and the awareness is under-played - (Thus awareness is not being conscious, it’s what we’re conscious of - To tell you your trapped by inferring that there is a you which could be free to think there’s a better way - But there’s an ideation of an image called selfing - The mental state points to the after as being the before - (Language emphasis there is an us and uses the subjective experience to make an object of ideation IE: Your the all that’s been thinking about) But there isn’t a self doing the selfing that implies there’s a self doing it - There’s a mechanical system doing: Thus is reinforcing the nouning that your not - Not. ‘Knot’ Mamma has died in the night - Looking from the bondage of self (As self) - Contracted energy or pseudo eye strap from chest to head over cloaked by a superimposed phantom which orchestrates the Trinity which actuates the body. It may have a real importance to being wrong because it will be right about how wrong it believes you are, so your wondering why your messing things up because then it can be right about how wrong you are. And as for the world: I can’t afford enough time that I was sinking, because if this thing had been cleaned we’d be talking six figures. We’re open all hours but will be closing soon because the moon is moving away from the earth and 2cm per day. You won’t recognise where your here because you believe you can be somewhere else. The black prince only makes sense because it is seen against a white background. I’m not going to fuss to much about the inside but it’s looking better already. It could have been different behind the clock. It’s like trying to do a jigsaw when you haven’t got the picture on the box. Demons aren’t what you were thinking. If I wanted to go down I couldn’t because I’d already drank to much. What’s your looking for ? IE: Haven’t we been established, the sanity has replaced the insanity that preceded the first drink ! They found him last night, I can’t believe it, I thought he was gone forever. If they take off in the fog they’ll never land it. And if they try to they’ll crash. You think you want freedom, but if you know what freedom means, you will run away from that. The Matt and Satin finish is yet to be de-term-Inn’ed. How far into this clock have ever been I hadn’t had a drink since then. The Susan Morphew Case, ‘Nothing is what it seems’ -------

    Not long ago i used to think humans knows stuff. Atleast one human out of billions of human in the history of humans , not really. ALL OF THEM ARE LIARS. Not because they want to be liars , it is just... if you are in rome be roman .... If you are in REALM of LIES , Be a liar , better liar can be prophet or guru like ramana maharishi. Humans eat it up Biggest liars are souce of food for rest of humans Just watch the guy in this video he has no clue about anything. He is living off another coman ramana maharishi We are all humans are conman. We can never speak our inner thoughts . it bring only harms. So we must lie to be alive and safe Any human who speaks truth will be chased out by rest of the humans. humans ask Why spoil our game? if you dont like it just go away... Well if you want to be enlightened , ask any question. Understand this questions are implied answer. You are looking for better answer that has some newness but not too much. Its all good though. Ask away. Now the real answer come from your not from me Words has no wisdom but lies. Its how you think will bring better results for you than just few words

I know my Sadguru has responded to my wish to learn from great devotees. Just listening to you talk is such a joy. I am transported to a world that is beyond this one, where only God is, in multitudes of forms of Himself. Thankyou so very much for these videos.

    so this is the responsibility of a soul, to control the amount of power comming through them? So there is some descision and seperation there right?Not just a vessel then? I never felt safe totally surrendering bc I know this power unlimited can destroy more then I wanted and felt like blood was on my hands after allowing it to just flow, so I need to keep 'myself' alive as a safeguard of sorts or is just the sensitivity of the empty vessel enough to atune? Who makes that descision? Its very important to me. I want to surrender though, I am keeping myself in a stanglehold in order not to hurt anyone I feel so I need to learn the boundries of what people can handle. This trauma is the cause of all my selfrestraint, shutting up and making myself small, I became too afraid of this power and just put a cork in it lol resisting all the booming energy of God when it manifested. But yeah Im very senstive I think I just wasnt used to how little energy some people can take, forgot to really attune thinking it will be fine and was devestated when I saw the result. Been putting myself in jail ever since and very afraid to repeat it. My motto became better safe then sorry and was willing to take huge amounts of abuse ect while not lashing out bc I also did not trust the anger trying to break me free. The purity of my heart was always more important then any kind of suffering on lower levels but I also could not devote myself fully to my heart and become one. My sacrifise of willingly suffering and boredom, denying myself the fullness off freedom, joy and love has proven I can trust my intentions fully and I always knew this could not be divine order that one has to suffer endlessly in order for others to be safe but I was unwilling to move an inch until I knew for sure it was in the interest off all. Thank you for this answer, I can trust the proces more now step by step
