Listen to Audio

We’re delighted to share the 2nd session recording of Dr. Andy Schraegle’s mini course, The Bridge – Living as I AM. This free, three-session course started Sunday, November 16th. We warmly invite you to join us for the last session on:

Session 3Sunday, 12/07, 1:30-2:30pm ET

Description: This three-session mini course, led by Dr. Andy Schraegle, invites you to rest in direct experience rather than concept. Rooted in Ramana Maharshi’s teaching, “The world is illusion. Brahman is real. And the world is Brahman,” the course offers a living exploration of how divinity and humanity are not separate, but reflections of one awareness. Each gathering focuses on one line of the teaching, guiding participants from perception to realization to embodiment.

Session one invites you to see through illusion and loosen identification with striving.
Session two opens into the recognition that only Brahman, or Truth, is real.
The final session brings this realization into embodiment, remembering that all is Source, and you are the living expression of love itself.

Through reflection, dialogue, and meditative practice, participants cultivate direct awareness of their own essential nature, discovering themselves as the living bridge between humanity and divinity. In this recognition, life is no longer something to transcend, but an invitation to live as the I AM within it.

This beautiful poem by Dr. Andy Schraegle was shared during session 2:

Brahman Is Real

Welcome, beloved.
Settle into the warmth of your own presence, the gentle fullness that has always been here. Feel how complete you already are. Feel the ease of not needing to reach for one more thing before you can rest.

Brahman is real.
Not as an idea or philosophy, but as the living fact that life is alive as you.
Love flows, endlessly, freely, without barrier or condition.
It does not begin, and it does not end.
Love is.
Brahman is.
You are.
I am.
These are all one frequency, one substance, one reality appearing as this moment.

Every lesson coming to you now is only the remembrance of your own holiness, the rediscovery of what has never been missing. You are the spark of divinity, recreated in every instant, fresh and unbound. Nothing old is required to explain you. Nothing past is needed for this moment to make sense.

For a time, Brahman appears like a mirror.
It shows you where you believe you cannot be free.
Where am I still not seeing myself clearly?
This question is not a judgment.
It is an opening.
It is the natural impulse of consciousness relaxing back into itself.

Everything that arises in your experience, whether it feels light or heavy, soft or sharp, is simply the movement of the field meeting itself. Shame, joy, stillness, longing, confusion, bliss, hunger, boredom, delight, all of it is folded inside the single radiance of Brahman. Nothing is outside of this.

This is the shift from fixing to resting.
This is the bridge.

Brahman is the infinite frequency underneath all frequencies.
It is the hum of existence, the quiet sound of life unfolding.
There is no place that Brahman is not.
No mood, sensation, or circumstance sits outside of it.
Everything you call “experience” is already held in the one field of what is.

In your first session, you touched the recognition that the world you see is not real in the way you believed. Not because nothing exists, but because you were not seeing yourself clearly. You had forgotten the softness, the ease, the inherent rightness of your own being. Now, as you open, you remember. You feel the light that has always been the foundation of life.

Picture the ocean.
For a while, you may have believed yourself to be the foam on its surface or the crest of a single wave. But you are water itself. Every form is just the field taking a temporary shape. The substance is always the same.

And now, the bridge reveals itself again.
You are the meeting point between pure potential and conscious choice.
You are the zero point, the sacred marriage within your own being.
The masculine, the feminine, the stillness, the movement, the knowing, the expression.
Brahman arrives as you, right now, exactly as you are.

Your work today is not to label this or interpret this.
Your work is to receive yourself.
To soften the instinct to push away your worthiness.
To notice the places where you argue with your own magnificence.
The resistance is only an old habit of believing you must earn what you already are.

Let this be undone now.

You are the vessel that receives the fullness of Brahman.
The body is not an obstacle.
It is the chalice that holds the frequency you choose.
Let it fill.
Let it overflow.
Let the grace that has always been yours be felt without resistance.

Let divinity wrap you like a blanket.
Let warmth rise in your chest.
Let the quiet truth of your worth land fully.

Receive what is already yours.

I am innocent.
I am free.
I am the infinite expression of the One.
I am. I am. I am.

-And so it is
