“ Only if
one knows
the truth
of love,
which is
the real
nature of
Self…
will the
strong
entangled
knot of life
be untied.
Only if one
attains the
height of
love …
will
liberation
be attained.
The
experience
of Self is
only love…
which is
seeing only
love,
hearing
only love,
feeling only
love…
tasting
only love
and
smelling
only love…
which is
bliss.
Love is not
different
from the
Self.
Love of an
object is of
an inferior
order and
cannot
endure.
Whereas
the Self is
Love, in
other
words…
God
is
Love.

Living From The Heart
… it’s all about Love
A Self – Inquiry Experience
by Elizabeth MacDonald
Living From The Heart
This book presents a dynamic, “in the moment” experience of
Self–Inquiry. As you read, you may feel a familiar stirring
within you, touching your inner Being… allowing you
to re-cognize, or “know again,” that which has been hidden until
now. As you read this book, delight in your awakening in this
Love and fully enjoy Living from the Heart.
- Elizabeth MacDonald -
Use the Inquiry on anything that is pulling
your attention outward.
Who’s thinking? Who’s listening?
Who’s experiencing this experience? …
I am … Who am I?
Feel and follow the “I” now,
fully investigating into this “I-feeling,”
this “I-sense.” Require it to reveal its
true nature, locating the Source
out of which the “I” arises.
This naturally occurs as we just feel “I.”
No efforting, no “doing” is required.
Feeling the sense of “I.”
I exist and I am conscious of my existence
here and now, as “I.”
Now just by feeling this “I,”
we are drawn naturally into the Source,
into the Self, into the Heart …
Deep stillness, deep silence
is present here and now.
This is our natural state.
It is always present.
The only thing that prevents us from
being in this state constantly
is the thought that we’re not that.
And if we inquire into this thought,
and into the thinker
that is thinking this thought,
there is only the Heart, the Stillness,
pure Silence …

Elizabeth met A. Ramana, her spiritual
teacher in 1978. During her first
meeting with Ramana, Elizabeth had
an initial quickening of the spiritual
Heart which she eventually recognized
to be the true Self. He introduced her
to the teaching of his guru, Bhagavan
Sri Ramana Maharshi, and taught her
Self-Inquiry, the process for
reestablishing the mind back into its
direct connection with the Heart on her
own. She learned to effectively practice
Self-Inquiry while living and working
an active lifestyle.
Today, Elizabeth lives from the Awakened Heart and shares this
experientially. She says, “once the Heart is awakened, it is simply
living from this perspective and then, it’s all about love.”
With her teacher, A. Ramana, Elizabeth became co-founder
of AHAM – the Association of Happiness for All Mankind.
After years of serving AHAM as Executive Director
and co-creator of its many programs, Elizabeth became the
Spiritual Director upon Ramana’s passing. She is now retired and
traveling, making herself available for gatherings with the
global AHAM community. Elizabeth may be contacted through
the AHAM Center in Asheboro, North Carolina, USA.
