Joel Goldsmith | The Foundation of Mysticism | What is thought? | Marcos Gualberto

GC: Hello, everyone! We are here for another videocast. Once again, Master Gualberto is here with us. Thank you, Master, for being here.

Today, I am going to read an excerpt from Joel Goldsmith's book called "The Foundation of Mysticism." In an excerpt from this book, Master, Joel makes the following comment: "The mind is the instrument you use for the purposes of thought, reasoning, or any other goal of knowledge." In this excerpt, Joel comments on thought. Can the Master share his vision on what thought is?

MG: Gilson, the question "What is thought?" is a very important question, in fact, of great relevance to all of us, because our life is a life that occurs within relations: relations with people, places, things, situations, events. And thought is always present, but we do not know the truth about thought. So, let us investigate with you, here, what this represents.

We have a playlist here on the channel about this subject, "What is thought," as well as "what is thinking." There is a close relationship between the process of thinking in us and the truth of thought. So, let's start with thought.

Thought in you is memory. Right now, we are here using speech - you recognize language, you recognize the language. You recognize the language because there is, within you, this memory, this recollection, this thought. So, there is the thought of language. Spoken language is thought being expressed, it is memory being shared; this is thought. If I ask you something, you give me the answer. This answer will be coming, will be emerging, due to memory, due to remembrance, due to recollection, due to thought. So, thought gives us the answer - and thought is memory, is remembrance - and this answer that you give me is only present because, from my question, an internal movement occurred in you. This internal, cerebral movement of searching for information, this movement of seeking information, this mechanics, is thinking.

So, there is thinking as the mechanics that makes the answer possible. It is all brain work that occurs in you. This is thinking! So, thinking gives us thought, brings us thought; thinking elaborates thought. This is where ideas, beliefs, opinions, judgments, and evaluations emerge. From a technical point of view, reasoning is necessary, logic is necessary, deduction, conclusion... All of this is necessary from a technical point of view. This is when thought comes in to fulfill a very basic, specific function, but here we come across another situation: we come across thought to make evaluations, judgments, comparisons, deductions, to draw conclusions from the point of view of the totality of life, of relationships... Notice where the problem arises!

In this contact that I have with you, I do not need conclusions, evaluations, judgments, and comparisons. I only need the comprehension of this relationship, and the comprehension of this relationship requires the presence of something beyond thought. However, we are placing thought within our relationships. This is where this feeling of "I" arises, this thought of "I" and all the confusion established in human life, in the life of the human being, because there is the presence of an isolationist, partisan, personal, egocentric movement.

So, notice this, there are two levels here: the first level is functional thought, which is technical. Knowledge, experience, specialization, for a profession, for dealing with people's names, for telling stories, which are remembrances and memories, all of this has a certain place within a functional technical context. You need technical knowledge, for example, to fix a car. This is knowledge, experience, memory, thought. But when thought enters human relationships, it creates problems, and the problem is because we place, within human relationships, the sense of ego, the sense of "I." So, there is this movement, in "me," of liking and disliking, of loving and hating, of being offended and forgiving, of being upset and upsetting, of being sad and making the other sad; and all of this is happening because of the presence of thought as well.

So, you see, we don't know how to deal with thought. We use technical thought, but in this context of life, of human relationships, of relationships with people, with situations, in the very relationship "with myself," the sense of "I," of the ego, is exactly this movement of thought that compares, evaluates, judges, accepts, rejects, likes, dislikes. This is the "I," this is the ego. Can we get rid of this? In other words, can we use thought only at a technical level, and not at a psychological level? All human suffering occurs at a psychological level. Yes, we go through physical pain, health problems, but this is something physical, it is something specific to the body. When we speak about psychic suffering, there is another element present here, which is not this physical element, but this mental element - ??this is where the sense of ego is. And our deepest and most powerful sufferings, disorders and problems are occurring at this level, at the psychological level, at the level of psychological suffering.

Here, together, we are investigating the truth about thought. We need to discover what it means living free from thought. In other words, at the functional, practical, and objective level in life, in this dream of existence, thought is necessary, but at the psychological level, it is not only unnecessary but dysfunctional, because it is something that is producing internal states of neurosis in the human being, so conflict is present, suffering is present. Fear is something like this, anxiety is something like this, depression is this, anguish is this, so is boredom, the pain of loneliness and everything else.

So, what is the truth about thought? To realize this, to become aware of this, is to go beyond thought, for a life free from thought. So, when functional thinking becomes necessary, it will be there, only at that level. A life with a quiet brain, with a silent mind, where there is this readiness to respond to the present moment, without the "I," without the ego, without this internal neurosis; a response to life, perfectly adequate, real, where there is no more conflict in relationships, where there are no more problems in this contact with him or her, and "with myself," and with life, because there is no longer this illusion of the "I," this illusion of a present entity, which is this "me," creating this separation of this "I" and the "non-I." That is what we are proposing here, working here with you.

A vision of life requires the end of thought as we know it. And it has already become clear: I am referring to this psychological thought, which is this thinking that is based on this idea, which is the idea of ??the "I," of this "me."

GC: Master, there is a question from a subscriber here on the channel. She makes the following comment and asks, Maria: "Master, how can we differentiate an action that is aligned with the present from an action in response to thought? I don't know how to distinguish them."

MG: So, presence of action free from thought - here, the question is how to discern this. Who is this element that will discern this action free from thought, from this background of psychological conditioning, and this free action? Who is this element that will discern between action conditioned by thought and action not conditioned by thought? Who is this element?

So, notice, it is not about an element capable of making this distinction, because this element will still be an element that will be evaluating, comparing, judging, agreeing, or disagreeing, seeing right and wrong. And this element is only present from this background, which is this background of experience, this background of judgment, of evaluation, of acceptance or rejection, of seeing right from wrong. This element is still the "I." So, we cannot count on an element, within us, capable of making this discernment.

Here, the first thing is this: we cannot approach Truth based on criteria of the "I" itself, the own background, the very own thought. Here, we are showing you how to become aware of your reactions; that's all. Once you become aware of your reactions, this awareness will be enough. It is not awareness in order to evaluate, to judge, to compare, to try to get it right, to try to discern. It is verifying! There is a new action when there is this awareness: it is awareness without the background, without thought.

So, this new way of being in contact with the present moment, no matter what this present moment represents, it could be a thought that arises at this moment, an emotion, a sensation, a specific way of feeling about something or someone... Can we approach this moment without this background? That is what we are proposing here for you. This is the real way of perceiving without the perceiver, of being aware without someone being aware, of becoming aware without someone acquiring this awareness, knowing something about it. So, at that moment, a new quality of action emerges; This action does not arise from thought.

Here is the answer to your question: it is not about discerning to know what is and what is not, it is about becoming aware of oneself, in this moment. Then, in this moment, the understanding of that which is not real arises, but without the idea of ??it. This looking, this noticing, shows us illusion. Becoming aware of illusion is already becoming aware of the Truth. You see, it is not about something to do with illusion. The very awareness of illusion is the rejection of it, the very awareness of the false is the rejection of the false, because we have the Truth present. So, how can we approach this quality of action free from thought - from this thought of the "I," which is this conditioned-background thought, always programmed to judge, compare, evaluate, to interfere with the present moment? How can we become aware of this? Observation, perception, looking, perceiving... It does not mean someone looking, it does not mean someone perceiving, it means bringing this Attention to this moment, then there will be clarity and, naturally, a new action will happen, it will happen.

Real action is not premeditated by thought, it is not born from an impulse that comes from the past. Real action is that which responds to this present moment without the past, and that is what we are addressing here with you. A speech like this points to something outside of thought. This something outside of thought is the awareness of Intelligence itself, it is the awareness of your Being. So, there is a quality of action that is born from this new space; it is not born from someone, it is not born from the background.

So, here it is about getting closer to yourself through observation. This is part of Self- awareness; this is part of approaching Meditation. We have here, on the channel, a playlist about the Truth of Meditation, "What is Real Meditation in Practice" and "The Truth about Self- awareness," this is another playlist. Another one is "Learning about Self-Awareness." We need to learn about Self-Awareness. Later, you can take a look. Here in the video description, there are these playlists. You click and take a look at these three playlists.

Getting closer to yourself means becoming aware of the Truth about yourself in this new action, in this free action.

GC: Master, there is another question from another subscriber here on the channel. Dilma makes the following comment and asks: "How did you manage to have new ideas that are not from the mind?"

MG: "How did you manage to have ideas that are free from the mind?" Free yourself from the mind! See, free yourself from the mind! What we know as "mind" is this movement that comes from the past, that is constantly inside our heads, always repeating the same old mental loops, beliefs, opinions, conclusions, and ideas about ourselves, about others, about life.

The Truth of your Being is pure Intelligence, and this Intelligence expresses itself when there is space, and this space arises when there is Self- Awareness. We need to discover what Truth is, we need to become aware of Truth, and we can only become aware of Truth when we learn about ourselves. What gives you the Vision of Life, what brings you Real Intelligence for a Life of Love, Freedom and Happiness is the Comprehension of the Truth about yourself. Self-Awareness is the basis of Intelligence; this Divine Intelligence is the basis of Wisdom.

So, contact with life at this moment, free from the movement of thought, shows you Life as It is. For a long time, our model of life has always been a model of life centered on thought, ideas, opinions, conclusions, beliefs... So, our minds are full of all this. Here, freeing yourself from the mind is realizing the Reality of a New Mind, of a quality of feeling and thinking that is totally new and different. This requires the presence of Self-Awareness; this requires the presence of Meditation.

In this learning about Self-Awareness, there is this learning about us. So, there is something present that reveals itself beyond the "I," beyond this old, old thinker that we believe we are, that we believe to exist, and that is ourselves. There is no such thing as someone being the thinker, producing thoughts. All thoughts are responses that come from the past. All thoughts are memories, are remembrances. The Reality of your Being does not carry thoughts; the Reality of your Being is pure Bliss, Happiness, Love, Wisdom.

That is what we are here for, with you, in online meetings on the weekends, working; and in face-to-face meetings and also retreats. Getting closer to the Truth about yourself is breaking with the illusion of someone present in control of life, taking charge of life, understanding life, or trying to understand life, fighting for life. That which is the Reality of your Being is Life itself, it is Wisdom itself, it is Intelligence itself, it is Freedom itself. That is the Truth of God, that is the Truth of your Being.

GC: Thank you, Master, our time has ended now. Thank you for this videocast.

And for those of you who are watching the video until the end and really want to deepen your knowledge and experience it, I invite you to participate in the meetings that Master Gualberto offers, which are online weekend meetings or in-person meetings, as well as retreats. These meetings are much deeper than these videos here on YouTube. First, because we can ask the Master our questions directly, and second - and most importantly - because in these meetings the Master shares this State of Presence in which he lives, and in this sharing, we end up taking a ride on the Master's energy. And this is an incredible facilitator for us to be able to investigate ourselves, for us to be able to enter Meditation, which is this Silence, naturally and spontaneously. So, here is the invitation.

In the first comment, pinned, there is the WhatsApp link to participate in these meetings. Also, give a "like" in the video and leave your questions in the comments so we can include them in future videocasts.

And once again, Master, thank you for the videocast.

Human relations | Self-image psychology | Learning about Self-awareness | What is Mindfulness?

There are a very large number of mistaken views about life. One of them is this issue of learning, in relation to learning how we function. For example, we have the case of this search or this quest to discover how to deal with oneself, in this issue of self-image, something known in psychology.

So, people want, theoretically, through lectures - listening to lectures - or books - reading books - to have an approach to this self-image according to psychology or to any psychological aspect of the "I," having a theoretical, conceptual - in words -, verbal approach to this. Here we are with you investigating in a direct way, by ourselves, in an experiential way how we function.

See, we need to abandon this mistake, this great mental confusion that we have, which is this belief that we can learn psychology outside of ourselves. These internal aspects of thought, feeling, emotion, sensation, perception are something to be studied here, within us. No psychologist, no philosopher, no book, no specialist will give you the vision of who you are.

We need to have a vision of life; this vision of life requires a vision of who we are, and this vision of who we are cannot be given to us by another person. You cannot learn about yourself according to this or that expert, from this or that book, or from this or that technique.

Here we are with you discovering what this new learning is, this learning about Self-awareness, this learning about ourselves. This requires the presence of this direct look at how we function, in this contact with relationships. Note, our relations with people we have called relationships. But these relationships are not only with people, our entire relation with life is of relationships. We are always in relationships with situations, with events, happenings.

When we are in an environment, we are in a relationship with that environment, with everything that is present there; it is a matter of relation, yes, and relationship too. But we especially use the expression "relationship" in this contact with people, so here we are dealing with this matter of human relations.

We need to become aware of what these human relations are, of how we function in these relationships, because my contact with my husband, my wife, my son, my boss, my employees, my workers, the people around me, you see, these are contacts that will always be present, but they are contacts in which there is not the presence of what is necessary for a relation - and I will clarify this to you here.

Our relations are mistaken relations, they are relations without real and direct contact, therefore there isn't the presence of the main element in this relation, which is the presence of communion, of sharing with him or her. Thus, there isn't the presence of Truth, which is the presence of Love, within the communion, in the relation. So, what is present in these relations, in these relationships is, in fact, separation.

Contradiction, conflict, suffering, and problems arise within relationships due to the absence of this communion, this sharing, this intelligent vision within the relation, and it is not present due to this self-image, the image I have of who I am and the image I have of who the other person is within this relationship. This self-image creates separation. Notice how basic this is here.

What, in fact, is this self-image? When I look closely at my reaction, I realize that it is based on the thought I have about him or her; this thought I have about him or her is not real. We are not dealing with the reality of the moment when our response to this moment is a reaction that comes from the past - it comes from the past because it is born out of thought.

So, this contact I have with him or her based on thought, based on self-image, is a relationship of separation, of division. If there is division, if there is separation, if there is this distance, there is no communion, there is the presence of divergence, of difference, of misunderstanding, there is the presence of illusion. This is what has fueled conflict and suffering in our relationships.

The husband does not know his wife, but he has an idea of ??who she is. In a fifteen-year contact, you have been keeping from her or him, you have been recording from her or him experiences there, in your thoughts, in memory; it is this thought, this memory, these experiences that react. You are never in real contact with him or her when this contact is based on thought, on this record of memories from fifteen or twenty years ago.

So, we have a false sensation, a false perception, a false vision of the present moment in this encounter with him or her, because we believe that we know the person, while, in fact, what there is present of him or her are images, some unpleasant and others pleasant, and that is all I have of him or her. Therefore, we are not dealing with truth when we are dealing with images. This is separation, this is the division between me and her.

Note that this division is not only established in family relationships, between husband and wife, between wife and husband, between children and parents, it is established between cities, between nations. So, we are living a conflicting, distressing, suffering life, due to the presence of this self-image, and psychology does not solve it, reading books does not solve it, listening to lectures does not solve it.

It is the approach to oneself, this direct look at this that is present here, when you learn what it means looking at this in a direct way, without using this element that comes from the past, which is the very thought, to agree or disagree with an image that thought itself is producing. See, at this moment, we are able to break with this separation, which is the separation between thought and the thinker. This separation is what thought has been using to maintain its continuity, which is the continuity of self-image.

So, what does it mean looking in a new way? It is to look without the observer, without the thinker, it is to look without this "I," it is to become aware of this image when it appears in this contact with him or her; when you simply become aware, at that moment you are bringing attention to this instant, a complete attention that eliminates the continuity of this "I," of this self-image. See, at that moment we are approaching not only the Truth of Self-awareness, we are approaching the awareness of Meditation.

What is the Truth about Meditation? It is to get closer to yourself at that instant, without placing this "me", this "I", in this look, in this observing, in this realizing, in this perceiving. Yes, that is exactly it: perceiving without the perceiver, looking without this element that looks, observing without the observer, it is thought without the thinker.

So, at that moment, there is contact with that which brings the presence of this Silence, because at that moment the brain becomes quiet, all that movement of reaction, of egocentric response, centered on the "I," is undone. At that moment, there is a new space; this space is the space of Silence. So, Silence is present, because the mind becomes quiet, and when it becomes quiet, there is contact with the present moment without the past, without the "I," without the "ego." So, at that moment, something happens, and that something is the end of this self-image.

Therefore, is it possible to look without the past, to perceive without the past? Try it. The next time you have contact with someone you know, notice this movement of the past emerging. Just notice it, look at it. When you look at it, you get rid of the past, so you are looking at the other person for the first time. See, it is a look without the past, it is a look without this background of memory. At that moment, there is only the recognition of the face, the timbre of his or her voice, but you do not have any psychological content of image, of mental representation, that comes from the past, in this liking or disliking him or her. So, it is a look free of the "I," free of the ego, it is a look that is Meditation, it is a perception that is Meditation.

We need this state of Presence of Attention, of Real Attention, for this moment, to break this pattern of mental conditioning, of mental programming, this is the end of self-image, this is the end of the "I." So, what is the truth of this Mindfulness? What is Mindfulness? There is a playlist here on the channel: it is learning to have this approach to this moment without the past.

So, the truth of this look without the background of memory, of recognition, of knowledge, which comes from the past, is Attention. Note that this is very simple, for example, in contact with nature. When you are in a new space or in contact with nature, your look is without the past. You just look, observe, note, but there is no you in this observing, in this look, in this noticing.

Can we eliminate the past from our lives to be in contact with the present moment here, in this instant? This is the contact with Life, this is the contact with Freedom, which is the end of the "I," which is the end of the ego. So, Something shows itself in this instant. This Something is not in time. This Something is not in the mind. This Something is not in the past. This Something is not part of thought. This is when we can have the awareness of Being, the awareness of God, the awareness of Truth. Then, your contact with him or her is the contact with Life, because there is no separation, there is no division. There is the Presence of a real contact, of a true communion, this is the Presence of Love.

So, see, we are saying here, in a clear way, that in this life, yes, it is possible to have a life free from the ego, free from the "I" in this contact with him or her, without the idea that thought creates and establishes, producing confusion, producing disorder, based on this structure of self-image; it is a contact, a look, or a vision without the past.

Here, we are delving deeper into this subject; this subject is the Awakening of Consciousness, it is Spiritual Enlightenment, it is the vision of God, it is the vision of your Being. A contact with life in this moment without the past is Advaita, it is the vision of non-duality, it is the vision of non-separation, it is the vision of God.

The word Advaita means "the One without the second," which is what we have emphasized here in these meetings. There is a present Reality, and this present Reality is not the person, this present Reality is the Divine Reality. This sense of person is something that thought, like a curtain, is bringing, creating this illusory separation, this illusory division between this "I" and the "non-I." Reality is the Reality of your Being; this Reality is the Reality of God.

This is what we are working on here with you on this channel. We would like to invite you to our online meetings on the weekends, where we will be together on Saturday and Sunday to delve deeper into this with you. You can find our WhatsApp link to participate in these online meetings in the video description. In addition to these meetings, we have in-person meetings and also retreats. If what you just heard makes sense to you, here is an invitation. Leave your "like" here, subscribe to the channel and leave a comment here, "Yes, that makes sense." Ok? And see you soon. Thanks for the meeting and until next time!

What is thinking? What is thought? Wisdom, intelligence, and knowledge. Dealing with fear.

We will present to you here, in more detail, this question of what thought is and what thinking is. See, one thing is directly tied to the other, but we are unaware of the truth about this and underestimate the importance of understanding this. So, notice here, we have the question of the intellectual approach, and we have the truth of the approach to understanding these two subjects, which, in reality, are directly connected, but we understand nothing about them and underestimate the importance, I repeat, of this understanding.

So, let's go. First of all, why is it important for us to have an understanding of the truth about thought and thinking? Because this gives you a foundation to have an approach to Self-Awareness.

And with the presence of Self-Awareness, we have an opportunity for a great portal open to the truth of wisdom. Here on the channel, we have a playlist on wisdom, intelligence, and knowledge. I recommend you take a look at this playlist later.

Life requires the presence of wisdom. Without wisdom, life is the life we know. And the life we know is not the life of intelligence; it is the life of problems.

The beauty of an encounter with intelligence, and here I refer to spiritual intelligence-this is another playlist on the channel-all these subjects that we address here, you can find here on the channel in the format of playlists. We have several videos dealing with each of these topics here, so you can find them in the playlists. The presence of this spiritual intelligence is the presence of the truth of wisdom.

Because it is divine awareness, it is the awareness of God. This is based on Self-Awareness. And the presence of Self-Awareness requires that you understand how you function.

So, we cannot eliminate any of these elements. One important thing is to understand that everything in life is interconnected. We cannot have the solution to a problem, for example, without understanding its totality.

And we cannot have this vision of totality if we do not approach it. For example, in general, people try to solve problems the way they imagine they can solve them, the way they think they will be able to solve them.

And, in fact, that is not how it works. Solving a problem requires a direct approach to the problem and not distancing oneself from it, as people generally do. So, notice, going back to the question, everything is interconnected.

Everything is interconnected. So, what is thought? Let's start here. What is thought? See, speaking of problems, this is a problem.

We have not solved this problem. This is one of the human problems we have. We have various problems as human beings in this psychological structure of human existence; we are creatures loaded with problems.

And one of the problems is this: what is thought? We do not know what it is. But look at yourself, and you will realize that we are facing something that has a very simple foundation but, in reality, is something very, very complex due to the psychological complexity we carry.

This is a subject, among others, that has become very complex for each of us. So, this subject-what thought is-has become complex because we live within a very great psychological complexity, but thought itself has a very simple foundation. You have your name, you have your address, you know the name of your spouse, your children. This knowing is knowledge. This knowledge is memory. This memory is thought. So, what is thought? Memory, recollection, knowledge, remembrance. Every present thought is just recollection, knowledge, memory, remembrance. So, basically, that is it.

This is thought. So, we already have the answer to what thought is. From a theoretical, intellectual point of view, the foundation is this.

And what is thinking? Thinking is what makes the presence of thought possible. In what way? I ask for your name, and you tell me your name. But you can only tell me your name because there is a thinking process.

This thinking process is what brings the presence of thought. When the brain reacts, it responds with a memory. The reaction of the brain is thinking, and the memory is thought.

So, what is thinking? It is the response that the brain gives based on the past, which is memory, which is thought. This response arises. This response is thinking.

Now, notice how important it is to have a direct understanding of this, but an experiential one, truly comprehending the subject and not just intellectually. The difference between intellectually understanding something and truly understanding something is totally different. One understanding is a real vision of what is there, of the fact, of what presents itself.

Whereas intellectual comprehension is just an intellectual, theoretical understanding. It is an idea. Here, we are inviting you to understand what thinking is and what thought is.

And in this understanding, it becomes clear that all the problems you have in relation to people, life, and the world around you-all these problems, all kinds of confusion and suffering-are present because of thought. Let's see how simple this is. You have people you like and people you do not like.

Where is this liking and disliking based? Look at yourself, and you will notice. This disliking is based on memories of bad, unpleasant things you experienced with him or her. So, you do not like him or her. But what you have of him or her are memories of someone.

Someone bad, someone ungrateful, someone who wronged you. This memory is thought. So, when someone mentions this person's name near you, it stirs within you-it provokes within you-a state of unpleasant emotion or feeling. So, notice the importance of thought. Thought is sustaining in you people you do not like. Thought is also sustaining in you people you do like. But what are these people? They are just thoughts. And what is the truth of thought? Absolutely none. The only truth about thought is that you are imagining things because that is all thought knows how to do.

It is to imagine things, imagine people, imagine unpleasant or pleasant states in yourself. As long as your life-this person's life-remains sustained by thought, by images, then all our problems are sustained by thoughts, images, and imaginations we maintain. This is thought.

This is the way of thinking that we know. Perceive this-the importance of freeing ourselves from thought, from this thinking, and therefore from this feeling, emotion, sensation, and thus from this imagination, this problem, this suffering.

All our psychic life, all our psychological life, all this consciousness as we know it in us, is nothing but thought-this form of thinking, this feeling, emotion, sensation, and imagination. So, this is what is sustaining this person.

Therefore, the person that you are is a set of thoughts, images, and imaginations about the world, about others, about situations, about appearances, and about yourself. Life in this condition is a life where the illusion of an identity is present. This identity, being illusory, as your life is sustained by this pattern of thought, sees itself as a separate entity from life itself, separate from others, in conflict with itself.

Here, this condition of existence is the condition of the sense of a separate identity. Life, in this context, is life in suffering. In the absence of this awareness of divine reality, there is a reality present, but we live alienated from this reality because we are living in the reality of the "I," the truth of the person, the truth of thought, the truth of imagination.

That is why we have emphasized here with you the truth that we have real life as it is, and we have the particular life of this sense of the "I" as it is. Life as it is, in this sense of the "I," is a life of confusion, separation, duality. Envy, jealousy, possession, various forms of fear, and the contradiction present in these conflicts and desires of the human being are all present. All of this is present because of thought and thinking.

That is why we mentioned earlier that we cannot underestimate this mistaken, illusory way of thinking that we have, which is the way that sustains this thought pattern as we know it, where the illusion of a thinker behind all of this is present. Can we discover life without this thinker? Can we truly discover life without caring anymore about this psychological condition of thought, in such a way that thinking in us undergoes a radical change? Can we break away from this pattern of thinking, where the continuity of this thinking is the continuity of imagination, where the illusion of this thinker-the "I," the person-behind all of this is present?

This discovery, this realization, is possible when we become aware of this entire movement without confusing ourselves with it-when we discover what it is to look at thought. Just look at thought, without placing an element within thought as the thinker when thinking happens.

So, let's see how this becomes possible. Someone appears before you, and you recognize them. At that moment, an image you have of them arises within you.

This image is thought, in this thinking, and naturally, imagination: I like them, or I don't like them. Is it possible for you to simply become aware of this movement when it arises and just look at it without maintaining the continuity of this image you have of them, without maintaining the continuity of thought from this imagination, but just looking? If you discover what it is to look without interfering, without getting involved, without giving credibility to it, without giving it imagination-if there is only looking-try it and see what happens.

Next time you meet someone you know, observe what happens in that moment-how quickly the brain processes this image, which is thinking, and brings up thought about them, and how quickly imagination arises: I don't like them, or I like them.

Observe this. So, next time you meet someone, I invite you to simply become aware of this mechanism. Just become aware, just look, but do not interfere, do not get involved with it.

This is the real way of looking without the observer, of looking without the thinker, of looking without this experiencer, who is the element that has already experienced other contacts with them. At that moment, you eliminate the experiencer, you eliminate the thinker, you eliminate the observer. By doing this, you are, for the first time, entering into direct contact with the moment, without someone present in this contact-this "me," this "I," this ego. This requires the presence of looking, of perceiving, of becoming aware without the "I," without this element in you that always comes from the past to get involved with the present moment.

This is the real way of understanding the fact of thought, the awareness of thought. See, it is no longer a theory, an idea, or something you heard being presented here. You are, at this moment, becoming aware of your reactions, of the fact of your reactions before him or her. If, when meeting someone, they praise you, do the same-just become aware of what the other person says, but do not get involved.

Notice, we are not dealing with something so simple. Not getting involved with a compliment, not allowing yourself to be taken over by a feeling of euphoria, pleasure, or egoic fulfillment-this requires the presence of this attention, of just listening to what the other person says. This applies to a compliment, but it also applies to criticism.

Just listen, noticing that element that comes from the past to receive the criticism with anger or to receive the flattery with pleasure and gratification, and do not confuse yourself with this.

Just become aware of it. At that moment, you are in the presence of this attention, this way of looking at your relationships. This is the foundation for Self-Awareness.

This is what gives you the foundation for the awakening of this spiritual intelligence, for the blossoming of this divine wisdom. So, on a certain level, knowledge, thought, and experience are necessary-professionally, technically, in recognizing your name, or in simply recalling an event, an occurrence, or to speak a language, thought, knowledge, and memory are necessary. But notice, here we are addressing a separate identity-the "I," the ego-being involved in this.

Here we are telling you that at the level of this real consciousness, this divine consciousness, the sense of the "I," of the ego, has no place. We have spent an entire lifetime confusing ourselves with the sense of someone always present in our relationships-with the world around us, with others, with ourselves. So, we are always continuing this thought, this imagination of someone present. Can we eliminate this imagination, this sense of the "I"? Can we place only attention on this moment, on these reactions that arise when something happens internally or when an external challenge arises?

So, notice, here with you, we are working with you, for example, on the end of fear. Observe that fear is nothing other than the presence of thought creating situations of an unpleasant future to come. Can we eliminate thought? If you eliminate thought of this future, you eliminate imagination, and this is the end of fear. We are dealing with life as it happens, but when we sustain our psychological life, based on thought and thus on imagination, the sense of ego is present, confusion is present, suffering is present.

There is no life in thought. In thought, there is only imagination. So, when people ask how to deal with fear, the question for you is this: what is fear? Without the presence of thought, where is fear? If I ask you what you are afraid of, you need thought to tell me what you fear.

If you feel fear, you need imagination-which is the presence of thought-to feel fear. Becoming aware of the reality of your Self is becoming aware of the movement of thought, of the movement of this thinker.

It is this thinker, this thought, that sustains internal states of conflict, disorder, and suffering, such as the issue of fear. How to deal with fear? Here, the question is: how to deal with thought? Because thought is the foundation of fear. Your fear is always of something, but it is always of something that thought communicates to you.

Without the presence of thought, there is no fear. An interesting thing about fear is that fear is always related to the future-to what might happen or what happened and might happen again. Thought is always present in this matter of fear.

So, we need to deeply investigate this truth about thought. Here, with you, we are working on this in these meetings. We have a playlist here on wisdom, intelligence, and knowledge.

The awareness of the truth of your Self is the blossoming of your real nature, your divine nature-a life free from thought, a life free from this element that is the thinker. It is the freedom of your Self; it is the freedom of God.

Here we have meetings on weekends to deepen this with you. So, on Saturday and Sunday, we are together. You have our WhatsApp link in the video description to get closer to these meetings.

In addition, we have in-person meetings and also retreats. If this is something that makes sense to you, leave your like, subscribe to the channel, and comment here: yes, this makes sense. Ok? See you soon.

Thank you for the meeting, and see you next time.

Wisdom, intelligence, knowledge | Learning about Self-Awareness | What is thought?

I want to start this talk by asking you a question: Have you ever played Monopoly? In it, you can become a great, powerful multi-multimillionaire businessman. You know that in this game, the winner is the one who buys the most houses, farms, neighborhoods-the one who acquires the greatest number of properties. That's the one who wins, or the one who does not go bankrupt. So, if you don't go bankrupt and if you manage to buy a lot, you end up winning the game.

When you look at life, notice that we don't take playing very seriously. After all, a game is not meant to be taken seriously. We have fun playing. We don't take a game seriously. A game is meant to be fun. Although, even in this, in the "ego," we complicate things too much. There are those who don't want to lose.

Guys, it's a game! It's just a game. Do you see? You are in front of a game. You can win, and you can lose. So, in general, a game is not taken seriously. Not normally. Some do; okay, they are the exceptions! Maybe these exceptions are even a large number of those who play but don't know how to play because they take it too seriously.

Now, in general, look at human life. What is this life, as you know it? Notice: here, you believe that you also own, acquire, buy, accumulate assets. You fulfill purposes, objectives, dreams, goals. This is typical of this mind model that we know as human beings, in this condition, which is the condition we investigate here with you in these meetings-the condition of the "I," the condition of the "ego."

The idea we have is that we are someone who can have, who needs to have, and who seeks to have. The truth about this is that we are taking this too seriously. First, the idea of "being someone" in order to "have things," to "hold onto these things" so that they don't disappear from our hands. So, we don't want to go bankrupt. We want to keep acquiring, accumulating, possessing, to win the game. For us, this is life.

Here, with you, we are investigating this, becoming aware of this so-called life as we know it. Here, we are investigating with you the truth of the illusion of this life we know. To us, this is very real, very true. "We have" properties, "we have" businesses, "we have" hotels, farms, enterprises, companies, "we have" family; "we" acquire, sell, buy, lose, win. All of this is very real.

Here, we are investigating with you the Truth that we are facing a great Divine Game. We received this game. It was given to us. Now, we are playing the game, but we do not realize that we are in front of a game. We are taking it too seriously and going through all these pains of losses because of the attachments to these things.

Notice, this is the problem of the "I" with this "mine." What is the Truth about this? The simple and direct Truth is that this game is just a game. The Truth about this is that it was given to you as a gift, just as a game. Therefore, do not take it seriously; do not argue, do not get upset, do not cry, do not attack, do not become violent, aggressive when you lose; and do not get too excited when you win-because this winning is not a winning, and this losing is not a losing.

Here, with you, we are investigating the Real Understanding of Life. This Real Understanding places you in a state of Awareness, Wisdom, Divine and Real Intelligence, to deal with what is within the known, that is, to deal with all these appearances as appearances within a game.

The understanding of this sets you free from the weight of this psychological condition, where you see yourself as this "I" who truly has what it believes to have and calls "mine" when you say "my" house, "my" car, "my" family, "my" businesses, "my" farm, "my" city, "my" neighborhood, "my" world, "my" history. This sense of "mine" and this sense of "I" go together in this context, where the illusion is present that what you are living within the known is Real Life.

Here, with you, we are exploring this question of Wisdom, of Divine Life, of Life in Spiritual Intelligence, free from the weight of knowledge. So, Wisdom, Intelligence, and Knowledge. Real Intelligence is the Intelligence of God. Wisdom is the vision of Real Life as it happens. And this Knowledge is what has guided the thought model present in each of us, giving us the illusion that we are facing Reality.

No, we are not facing Reality. We are facing a great Divine Dream, a great Divine Game, a great Divine Play. But, as long as we do not understand this question of the known, this question of knowledge-which is what we have of the known-which has thought as its principle, we will be living within this illusion.

And this is what we are inviting you here to break, to undo, to rid yourself of, to assume the Awareness of the Reality of God-which is the Reality of your Self, which is your Divine Life-in order to deal with Life as it truly is: a great Divine Game, where everything here is happening, but as an appearance that is here now and soon will disappear.

Here, with you, we need to investigate a basic element that underlies all of this and that we underestimate. Here on this channel, we have a playlist to investigate this with you. It is within this context, in this playlist that we just mentioned here for you: Wisdom, Intelligence, and Knowledge. This is a playlist here on the channel. Later, take a look. And we have another playlist here, within the context of this vision, of this Spiritual Awakening, of this Spiritual Enlightenment. These various topics are also in playlists on the channel.

I want to address with you a subject that we truly underestimate, and we underestimate it a lot. That is why we are seeing this whole game, everything that life is, happening from this mistaken, confused, disoriented, illusory perspective of the "ego," the illusory "I," which carries this illusion of "mine." Notice, this is present due to ignorance. This is present due to an illusory vision.

Here, we are working on the Awakening of the Truth about ourselves. Becoming aware of the Reality of God is being able to witness this life happening as it truly is. Not from this illusion of an identity that sees itself as separate and possessing things, winning things and losing things; acquiring and losing. Being a master, owner, possessor, achiever of all this. We are facing something completely illusory.

We are simply in Life, within this apparition of existence, in this dream of existence, looking at all of this from a space that is unknown. Becoming aware of this unknown space, to look at life from this place, this new space, is what we are proposing here to you. That is what we are working on here with you. And this requires an understanding of this subject. Now I will tell you what this subject is.

The subject is something we underestimate. The subject is the question of thought. So, what is thought? It is a fundamental playlist here on the channel. We are always adding new videos to this playlist. What is the truth about thought?

What we do not know, what we are not yet aware of, is that this "bank," in quotes, this "Monopoly game," is a construction of thought. The remembrance of something, the recollection of something-and that is how we function psychologically-is the presence of memory. This remembrance, this recollection, is knowledge. This knowledge is thought.

So, what is thought? Thought is that, within you, which says things. Right now, if I ask you your name, thought expresses itself as words. If I now ask you if you have a car, an image appears within you. That image arises because of the presence of thought. That thought is the car. That car is a remembrance, it is a memory.

Thus, that car is one of "your" possessions, but the house too. You close your eyes, and you visualize "your" house. Visualizing is remembering it. If I ask you, are you married? You close your eyes and see the face of your spouse.

All of this is within thought! So, where is this world? It is within thought. So, what is this "Monopoly game," where, in it, you are this successful businessman? Where is all of this?

See, the life of the "I," which carries this "mine," is nothing but the presence of thought. So, what is thought? An image that memory constructs, that recollection makes us return to again and again, and again. That is thought.

So, we return to "our" things. We have "our" things. These "our" things, to which we constantly return, are within thought.

What is the truth about you? You do not know! Because you are confusing yourself with this "I," which is just a thought. A story about you is a memory. That memory gives us the illusion of the "I," of this "I" that has things. These things are thoughts that are also memories of what this "I" possesses, of what this "I" has.

Do you see? We are facing a dream. Can we break free from this into the reality of what is beyond thought?

Since we have just seen this here, all of this is within this set, which is thought. So, what is the Truth of Wisdom? The Truth of Wisdom makes you see life without the "I"! The presence of this Spiritual Intelligence, this Divine Intelligence, allows you to see life without this illusory "center," which is this "me," that sees itself as the "center" of this entire experience.

This experience is the dream, and this "center" is this "I," the dreamer. The end of this dreamer, of this "I," of this "center," is the end of the illusion of this dream, which is the dream of "mine," "my" things.

So, the vision of Wisdom is the vision of the reality of your Self. The point is that this Self is not within this "I," it is not part of this "mine." This Self is the Divine Reality. This is not something personal, it is not something that thought constructs.

The vision from this "space," this new "space," is the vision of life as it is truly happening. This Freedom of not confusing oneself with the experience of the present moment, seeing oneself as the experiencer of this experience, is the vision of Wisdom. The Freedom to deal with the game while recognizing the game. And, in this play, not confusing oneself with any of it, is to become Aware of the Reality of Life as it happens, as it happens free from the "I," free from this "me," from this "ego."

So, what is the Truth of Wisdom? It is the Truth of the vision of God. It is the vision of this Self. It is this gaze from this new "space." And how can we approach this? How can we, in fact, deal with experience without the illusion of "someone" present, in this Flow, this Freedom, this Happiness, this Peace, this Awareness of the Presence of Joy?

Notice: a game is a play. Within the game, we have this playful aspect. This playfulness of the game requires the presence of this innocence, the beauty of this child, aware of the Joy of playing. Life in God is Joy! It is Love, Peace, Freedom, Happiness! We do not know this because we are living without an understanding of what thought is.

The understanding of what thought is requires the freedom not to live any longer in the belief in the presence of this thinker. This thinker is the one who believes he is producing thoughts and identifying with them. See, the awareness that a thought is just a thought allows you to disidentify from this illusion, from the idea that there is "someone" in this thinking, that there is "someone" in this thought.

Thus, we eliminate the illusion of this "I." Can we discover life and deal with it in this New, Indescribable state, where this Innocence, this Joy, this Freedom, this absence of the "I" is present? And, therefore, this absence of possessing, of needing to acquire, in order to be happy, to be fulfilled, to achieve.

Can we assume the truth that it is impossible-and it is something completely unnecessary-to continue carrying this illusion, the illusion that everything is "mine" for this "I"? A free life is a life in Peace! If there is this Freedom, we have the presence of Love! Your contact with the experience of the present moment is a contact from this new and unknown place.

Your contact with this life, with this world, with this experience, with this entire apparition from this Indescribable, Unnameable "space," which is the "space" of Divine Reality, becomes possible when there is the abandonment of this "I."

That is why we are here emphasizing with you how to learn to assume this, to realize this in this life. How to learn about Self-Awareness. This learning about Self-Awareness brings you closer to this "gaze" free from thought, free from the idea of a "thinker" behind the thought. Therefore, it brings you closer to the Truth of meditation. It brings you closer to this Awareness of your own Self, which is the Awareness of God. It is when, in fact, at this moment, this Liberation occurs in this life.

This Liberation is what some have called Spiritual Enlightenment or Spiritual Awakening. It is when, in this new, indescribable state of Being, we have the presence of this Divine Consciousness, this Real Consciousness, which is the Consciousness of God. It no longer makes a difference whether the game is happening or if we close the game. There is something that transcends the game happening and that is also beyond the closed game.

This is the nature of God! It is the nature of your Self! What you are, in your Self, is beyond the known. And you can deal with all of this in a free way, where we have the presence of this Real Intelligence and True Wisdom, which is Divine Wisdom.

Here, in these meetings, we are exploring this subject with you, deepening this. For this purpose, we have online meetings on weekends, where on Saturday and Sunday we are together. Two days together, deepening, becoming aware of this, approaching the Truth about Self-Awareness. How to work on this in this life, within this Divine game, within this Divine dream, and realize this!

That is what we are doing together, so it's two days. You have the WhatsApp link here in the video description to participate in these weekend online meetings. Besides these meetings, we have in-person meetings and also retreats.

If this is something that makes sense to you, here is an invitation-go ahead and leave your like, subscribe to the channel, and comment here: "Yes, this makes sense."

Okay? And we'll see each other! Thanks for the meeting, and see you next time.

Search for spirituality. Meditation, expansion of consciousness. Dealing with fear. Mental consciousness.

Here on this channel, we are dealing with subjects that require us to look at them just to become aware of what is present here. It is not about agreeing or disagreeing with the subjects we address here with you on the channel. And why not? Because we are dealing with facts, with something that is simply observable.

For example, what do we address here with you? That which we truly consider as something fundamental, which is simply perceptible in the life of all of us. I am referring to these internal states-observe this-that we do not know how to deal with.

And this is, in fact, a reality for all of us. Human beings do not know how to deal with these internal, conflicting, distressing states, with the problems and suffering present in these states. And these states are countless, something that, in fact, we all know.

Notice, we all know them because we experience them within ourselves, but we do not know how to deal with them. This is where the issue of fear is present. Look at your life, and you will notice.

No matter how much we want to rid ourselves of the idea of fearing nothing, of carrying no form of fear, this is, in fact, not true. Because human beings carry many fears. In various forms. So, in many ways, we are suffering from fear.

There are multiple fears present, the fears are diverse. With different names, we have the presence of fear. It is interesting, our intellectual ability to take this issue of fear and give it various names.

Shyness is fear. Anxiety is fear. Worry is fear.

Boredom is a condition of dissatisfaction that carries some form of fear behind it. So is depression. Now, the list is very long of problems that we, as human beings, have.

And all of them are at a psychological level. They are part of this psychic structure within us. They are part of this psychological suffering present in each of us.

And we do not know how to deal with this. Here on the channel, we have had the patience to look again and once more, a third time, and again, and again, and again, and again, at these issues. Because, in truth, we do not know how to deal with them.

We have three very classic ways of seeking answers for ourselves in times of crisis. Either we seek psychology, psychotherapy-but only in times of deep crisis, fear in the form of panic, which we do not know how to deal with, a phobia-we seek psychotherapy, we seek religion, we seek philosophy, for example, clinical philosophy, some form of therapy.

So, our tendency is that in times of crisis, we are searching for help. Here on the channel, we are discovering with you how to go beyond this psychological condition of psychological suffering, of psychic suffering. And this is realized when we realize the truth about ourselves.

So, no external help can give us the final liberation from all this psychological condition that represents this sense of the "I," of this "me," of this person, how we position ourselves in the world, how we position ourselves in life.

So, here we are addressing with you the truth of the blossoming of your divine nature. Here we are with you deepening this issue of the Awakening of Consciousness, of Spiritual Enlightenment. This entire language is what we use here because, in general, people are linking this freedom of being to something they have already heard about, linked to these names, linked to these expressions.

But here, when we address with you this liberation in life, we are addressing the truth of your own Self, understood, experienced.

We are not living in the truth of what we are, or rather, the truth of what we are as part of this model of life and existence, which, as facts, demonstrate themselves in our experiences of relationships or connections, this common pattern.

So, in truth, what we are is the sense of someone present in these internal states-conflicting, distressing, problematic, in disorder, in suffering. That is what, in fact, we as human beings are living. That is what, in fact, we are in this format of being someone.

But there is a reality beyond all this, which is unknown to most people. And yet, within us, there is an impulse or a search at a level we do not know, within each one of us, for this reality, which is the reality of God.

Follow this with me here. We are in life to realize this, to become aware of this reality, which is the reality of what we are in our being. The problem is that when we are born, we do not receive the instruction manual.

We do not know how this psychological model, this psychic model of being, works. So, we have an entire psychological formation within human history, forming a consciousness that is what we call my consciousness or self-consciousness, which some call individual consciousness. That is what we received from the world, that is what we received from culture.

We received a consciousness, a consciousness common to all. So, what we call individual consciousness is collective consciousness. This individual consciousness is, in fact, human consciousness. It is the consciousness of humanity.

It is interesting to say this here for you.

We do not know how to deal with ourselves. We have not learned this. We have not received instructions about this.

So, what we have as consciousness, this so-called human consciousness, which carries content that is at a conscious level within us and also unconscious within each of us, there is no understanding of how it works.

We do not know how we function psychologically. This explains our interest in investigating this study about who we are, here on the channel.

When we seek help, we generally do so already in very acute states of crisis. But no matter how much we may be helped, we do not have a final definition for this psychological condition of complication, disorder, problems.

Here we are telling you that, in life, we need to study ourselves, to understand how we function. The detail is that no one can do this for you, in your place. You need to study yourself.

One interesting aspect we need to highlight here for you:

We cannot study this according to this or that specialist, in this or that book, or in a great collection of books, or by moving from one specialist to another specialist, or by trying to find in teachers what, within each of us, must be revealed to ourselves.

What is it that we need to see revealed to ourselves? The truth about who we are.

The truth about who we are now, here. And the reality we carry beyond what is here.

Becoming aware of what is in this moment. Because what is, is what we are. What do we have here? Becoming aware of this and going beyond what is here.

What is present here are these internal states with which we do not know how to deal. One detail is that these internal states always find expression externally in our relationships.

Grief, contradiction, conflict, our level of bad mood, dissatisfaction, suffering-these are present in our relationships. Looking at what is here is becoming aware of what is in this moment.

And we need to go beyond this, to our natural state of being, which, in truth, is not this. This state we find ourselves in is the common state, present in this psychological condition of disorder, confusion.

We are repeating, like all humanity within this consciousness that we believe to be individual. Notice, it is human consciousness and, therefore, the consciousness of all humanity. It is the consciousness common to all.

Therefore, this is a collective consciousness. The expressions we have of representing this sense of the "I," of the ego, present in me, is something present in every human being.

Envy is present, anger is present, anguish, frustration, existential pain, insecurity in relationships. We have various internal states that manifest externally in our life, in our living.

And this is present not as something I individually have, but as something present in every human being. It is not something particular to me. It is something that exists within this context of collective consciousness. Are we together?

Thus, the human being has a search or a pursuit for this so-called spirituality. The search for spirituality. We have addressed this here on the channel. We have several videos on this subject.

This so-called search for spirituality. And in this search for spirituality, people engage in all kinds of techniques or practices in this pursuit of so-called spirituality to rid themselves of states such as, for example, fear.

When they ask: how to deal with fear? Here we have several videos addressing this topic: how to deal with fear? And someone might think, "Ah, I need to find in this spirituality an answer to this."

So, they engage in something like meditation for the expansion of consciousness because they believe that this way, they will be free from fear.

We need to discover what this consciousness is, as we have just stated here for you. This consciousness is human consciousness.

The idea of a consciousness separate from this is an idea, a concept, a belief. There is a reality, yes, beyond this human consciousness.

What we have addressed here on the channel and have called real consciousness. But this is not something within the known.

This real consciousness is not something available or something passive for a project like this project called "expansion of consciousness."

The reality of your Self is consciousness, but it is not this consciousness as we know it, as we identify it.

So, we are speaking of a reality that is beyond what someone can reach, realize, or do something with. Like, for example, expanding this thing.

The reality of your Self is full consciousness. That does not expand. It is divine nature, it is the nature of God, it is the nature of the truth about you.

The Awakening of Consciousness is the awakening of this essential nature, of this divine nature. This is something unreachable by thought.

This is something outside of this consciousness. This consciousness that is mental consciousness, that is human consciousness.

The reality of your Self is happiness, it is real consciousness, it is the presence of reality.

A contact with the truth about who we are reveals what is beyond what we seem to be, beyond what we are in this context of egoic, separatist, dualistic human life, and therefore filled with conflicts, filled with problems.

Thus, divine revelation, the revelation of God, the revelation of truth, is the end of this condition.

Nature did not give us this manual because, in fact, we do not need this instruction manual.

All we need is to recognize the truth that we are, that we carry, that is present when illusion ends.

We do not need this instruction manual, but we need to become aware of Self-Awareness, to know ourselves.

We do not need this manual because no manual is possible for this. It is the recognition of what we are when we study ourselves, when we learn to look.

We do not need a manual to learn to look at our reactions. We need to discover the illusion of someone present in this moment, the one who tries to deal with life from their personal, particular, egocentric perspective.

I am referring to this illusory identity, to this "me," to this "I," to this person. What is this? A model of thought that we carry about who we are and about what we know of life, about what we know of ourselves.

Here we need the art of learning, of learning to look without this element that is the "I," the observer, the one who looks from a curtain of ideas, beliefs, conclusions, concepts established by society, the world, culture.

One thing human beings do not know is that they are divine reality when the illusion of this idea of being someone is no longer present.

And we are loaded, burdened with this idea.

Here on the channel, we are working with you to put an end to this through Self-Awareness.

We are learning this art of observing without the observer.

We have numerous videos here on the channel showing the difference between looking without this element that looks, listening without this element that hears things, that listens to things, feeling without this element involved in this feeling, which is the "I," the ego.

A real life is possible for each of us-a life free from this way or this model of life centered on the "I," the ego.

Therefore, it is not about the illusion of what thought has built around the truth of spirituality.

There are numerous illusions that thought has established as rules or formulas to achieve something, see, that thought has idealized as divine truth, as the truth of God, as the truth of spirituality.

The truth of spirituality is the knowledge of God. It is not about someone becoming spiritualized, but it is the truth of what you are, in your Real Self, revealing itself, here and now, free from this condition where all this context of mental conditioning, of mental consciousness, is established, in which the illusion of this "I" exists, separate from the other, separate from life, separate from God.

So, this is our purpose here with you on this channel and also on our other channels here on YouTube.

You have here, in the video description, our link to learn more.

In addition, we have online meetings that take place on weekends.

Saturday and Sunday we are together, working directly on this issue of the Awakening of Consciousness, this blossoming of our true nature, to go beyond this condition.

So, on Saturday and Sunday, through questions and answers, in this contact with the silence of this online meeting.

In the video description, you have our WhatsApp link to participate in these meetings.

Besides that, we have in-person meetings and also retreats, where we are together, spending a few days working on this, becoming aware of this, deepening, diving into this vision of reality, of what we are.

Therefore, if this is something that makes sense to you, leave your like here, subscribe to the channel, and leave a comment: Yes, it makes sense.

Okay?

And we'll see each other.

Thanks for the meeting, and see you next time.
