Following the book launch in August 2023 of Ramana Maharshi's Forty Verses on What Is, a compilation of the writings and talks of Michael James on Uḷḷadu Nāṟpadu, Michael and Sandra have started a series of talks in which Michael explains the essential import of these verses and all of Ramana's teachings in 8 key points -- 8 talks (videos). This is the second talk with the second point: what we actually are is just pure existence-awareness (sat-cit), which is what always shines as our own being, our fundamental awareness ‘I am’, and which is the infinite fullness of perfect happiness (ānanda). After explaining the second point, Michael answers questions related to Ramana's teachings. 

FREE SAMPLE OF THE BOOK:
You can find the 8 key points in the introduction that Michael wrote to this book (pp. xxxi-xxxii), which is also part of the 108-page free sample that you can download here

There was also a reference made in the video to the following article, in which Michael is included regarding Bhagavan’s teachings (page 123 in the PDF version): “A Landscape of Consciousness: Toward a Taxonomy of Explanations and Implications" by Robert Lawrence Kuhn in 'Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology': https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pbiomolbio.2023.12.003

This episode can also be watched as a video here and a more compressed audio copy in Opus format (which can be listened to in the VLC media player and some other apps) can be downloaded from here.
