I split this topic and put your thoughts about meditation under 'Different forms of meditation' The thread is now called: Sri Ramana Maharshi and meditation. I did not want anyone to miss your knowledge of his form of meditation.
Thanks I appreciate the thought, Steve. I don't have any special knowledge beyond what can be found anywhere else by taking the time to read. There are plenty of better resources out there for people who are sincerely interested in learning about Ramana Maharshi or meditation. I never meant for those posts to be a standalone introduction to Ramana Maharshi. If that's what you wanted I could have put something else together with some relevant links.
My intention was to make statements that answered your question about meditation on the Self in a conversation between us, not to evangelize for Ramana. I just used Ramana's quotes because I felt it necessary to back up what I was saying with some quotes from someone who actually (presumably) knows what they are talking about and from where I got my own "knowledge" on this.
All the best
