Joel Goldsmith. The Art of Spiritual Healing. What is death? The fear of death. Marcos Gualberto.

GC: Hello, everyone! We are here in another videocast. Once again, Master Gualberto is here with us. Thank you, Master, for being here. Master, I am going to read an excerpt today from Joel Goldsmith's book called "The Art of Spiritual Healing." In an excerpt from this book, Master, Joel Goldsmith makes the following comment: "I must say, however, that each individual has the right over his own life and his own death." On this subject of death, can the Master share his vision of what death is and the fear of death?

MG: Gilson, your question about what death is and the fear of death are two questions that need to be studied and comprehended. Contact with the reality of death is something entirely different from this contact with the fear of death. What is this fear of death? We never get close to the truth about fear. It is not just about the fear of death, it is about fear! We have many forms of fear; the fear of death is just one of the ways of fear that we have. But when you look closely at this issue of fear, you realize that it does not matter if it is the dark, the ghost, the past, the future that you are afraid of. whether it is of getting sick, getting old, or the fear of death. Fear, basically, is fear! So, what is the truth about fear, which naturally includes the fear of death?

All forms of fear that we have are structured, these forms of fear, in a notion, within us, of time. Your fear is of something that will happen, or of something that has happened and that can be discovered, that is, that will happen. The fear of the past is, in fact, the fear of the future, and the fear of the future, like the fear of the past, is the presence of time. It is only when you have this notion of time that you have this feeling of fear. But we are dealing here not with reality, but with thought, when we talk about time. Because there is no past at this moment to be afraid of; there is no future at this moment to be afraid of. The presence of thought is the presence of fear.

So, it is not of getting sick, of getting old, of dying that you are afraid of. The presence of this fear is the presence of thought about it. We are dealing not with the reality of the thing itself, we are dealing with the reality of thought. Since the reality of thought is imagination about the past or about the future, we are dealing with a belief. So, there is a difference between the fear of death and the truth about death. We have never come into contact with death. The moment you discover what this real contact with death is, there will be no fear, because you are free from thought, from imagination.

Here, together, we are exploring this. So, what is the truth about death? The truth about death is what happens here, in this instant. When something ends, it is the end of it. If death really happens in this instant, there will be no gap between the present death and you having a thought about it. Then, there will be no fear! You are not afraid of death now, of old age now, of an accident now. An accident, old age or death in this instant, the presence of this event, this occurrence, this happening, is something instantaneous, immediate. This is here as a reality, a truth. We are faced with a fact, which is the fact of death, or the fact of illness. It is the thought about illness, it is the thought about old age, it is the thought about death, the issue of fear. Therefore, when you ask "What is death?"... Death is what is happening here, all the time.

It is very interesting to look at this. At every moment, we are faced with death. Death is the end of what is here, at this moment, happening, and everything that is happening will never happen again. This is death! We are always in contact with death and, paradoxically, we never come into contact with death. This sense of the "I" within us, of the ego, is the illusory sense of someone who is storing experiences. Let's put this here, let's investigate this here together. This moment is a unique moment! It has never happened, it will never happen again. See, this is not a philosophical matter, it is not a psychological matter, it is not a theological matter, it is a simple matter! At every moment, we are faced with a new instant, a new moment that is happening and ending. It's simple! It's always like this.

So, this experience right now is happening and ending, but the sense of the "I," of the ego, of this thinker present within us, records this moment. It takes it to memory, it forms this center. This center formed of memories, of recollections, is the result of experiences. Based on these experiences, memories, recollections, this center creates this "I," this "me," this ego, this thinker. So, at every moment, we are coming into contact with the moment from the past and acquiring new experiences, and also storing them in this center. See, this is the continuity of the "I," this is the continuity of the thinker, of the ego. Since this is something that establishes in us the illusion of security, of knowledge and of experience, this life of ours, particular to the "I," is a life that never comes into contact with the moment, allowing this moment to be only what it is, that is, the moment that ends.

Notice how simple and yet extraordinarily profound this is. Gilson, we are always cultivating the experiencer, the thinker, the "I." This is the person, the ego. So, this fear within us of the end of things is the fear of death, but it is the fear that is present because of the presence of the past, because of the presence of the "I," because of the presence of this experiencer. Is it possible to have contact with life at this moment without the past? This contact with life at this moment, without the past, is death. There is no fear of death, because death is life. There is no separation between life and death, unless thought creates this separation. When it creates this separation, it creates a thinker to think about it, to fear it, to try to escape from it, to escape from it.

So, what have human beings been doing? They have been creating theories, concepts, ideas, beliefs about continuity after death. It is always the sense of "I," of the ego, when we witness the end of things - a flower dies, a tree dies, our little pet also dies, and we have seen people die - but we are confusing the truth of life with forms. Life is the reality of that which is present here, which is appearing and disappearing, but it is something unknown. And we are confusing life with forms: we see a living flower, but we do not comprehend that life is there. It is our idea that says that the flower is alive - it is life that is alive. But life is like this, it is here! And it carries this form of appearing and disappearing; when it disappears, we say that "so-and-so died." "A" died yesterday, "C" died last week. This passing away, this dying, is the disappearance of forms.

The reality of contact with the Truth of your Being is the truth of That which is imperishable, which does not perish, which is beyond this birth and death. The Truth about you, Gilson, is that in your Real Nature you are life. The Truth about each one of us is that there is a present reality and this reality is, at every moment, in this appearing and disappearing, and this carries this quality of the Eternal, of the Unknown, of the Unnamable, which is the Truth of God. This is the Truth about life, this is the Truth about death. These various theories that are created about the after of the disappearance of forms are concepts, beliefs. The mind loves this, the mind loves this idea of ??the afterlife, because the mind lives in the past and wants to continue in some way. So, we create various theories, various beliefs, and we cling to this, because the "I," the ego, is the present element, an illusory element that wants to continue.

Contact with Divine Reality is something that transcends this idea, these beliefs, these concepts, these theories. The Reality of your Being was never born; it is not something that is alive and will die. That's what we're here with you, investigating, discovering, verifying. Okay?

GC: Master, we have a question from a subscriber here on the channel. Tânia asks the following question: "Does the Enlightened or the Awakened One feel the sensation of fear?"

MG: Our questions are interesting. We are very curious to know how the Enlightened One feels. There is a direct way for you to get closer to how the Enlightened feels. Assuming the Truth of What is you is assuming the Truth of what it is to feel, what it is to think, what life is as it happens. I have always come across questions like this. So, the answer to this question is very simple. When you ask: "Does the Enlightened feel fear?" In the face of physical danger, at that moment, an answer is given for that moment. In this answer we have the presence of an impulse free from that feeling of separation that is present when the ego is present.

This way of feeling about this moment, about this moment when a real danger is present - when you are faced with the possibility of an accident - in that moment, you move away from the danger, when that is possible. Moving away from the danger of this imminent accident does not require the presence of fear, it requires the presence of this impulse, which is an impulse of intelligence, to free the body from the accident, to physically free yourself from that situation. There is a difference between the presence of fear and the presence of this impulse of intelligence to get away from an imminent danger, a real danger. If you come across a snake - you are walking on a trail and you see a snake - you move away. Do you move away out of fear or do you move away because there is a natural memory of brain history, of human history, of risk, of danger? This distancing is not out of fear, it is a distancing due to intelligence!

We have to differentiate between what is fear and what is intelligence. The body's self-defense response to an urgent need to move away from danger, that is not fear, it is intelligence. There is a difference between the presence of this impulse of intelligence and fear. What we know as fear is something that is based on thought. What are you afraid of? It is what will happen to you. But what will happen to you, at this moment, is only a memory, it is only a thought. Thus, we do not know what real contact with the fact of fear is. We are in the idea of ??what fear represents, of what fear should be, of what fear can be, of what fear will be. This "may be," this "will be," this "happening tomorrow," is something that is based here, at this moment, in thought. You are not afraid of death, for example. You are afraid of the thought about death, about the end of this "me," of this "I." Thus, your fear is the fear of what will be, it is the fear of what will happen, it is the fear of what may arise when death occurs or after death occurs.

Thus, there is a difference between the truth of fear and the idea of ??fear, the idea that causes fear, the idea about fear. Gilson, it is necessary to comprehend this clearly. There is a difference between getting rid of a real danger and imagining a danger that thought is telling you that could happen, that will arise at some point. So, that is the difference. Freedom, with regard to fear, consists in comprehending that life, as it happens at this moment, at this instant, presents risks, but it is not a reason for fear. You are not afraid of an accident if it happens at this moment, you are not afraid of death if it happens at this moment, you are not afraid of illness at this moment, nor of something bad that could happen to you at this moment. It is only when thought arises about the possibility of this that the presence of fear arises. Therefore, an answer to life at this moment is something simple, direct, when we are dealing with the facts, as they happen.

Now, from the perspective of thought, this issue of fear is present in us. To be free from the past is to be free from thought. Free from thought, you have no future! There is no fear without the presence of thought. See that it is always thought, which creates a bad future for you, the basis of fear, the truth about fear. This encounter with the reality of life in this moment is an encounter with the challenge of the moment. Without thought, there is life as it happens. If you are faced with a danger and it is here, in this moment, there is an action, and this action is for self-protection of the body, of this organism. This is not fear, this is intelligence. This is what we need to clearly differentiate. This feeling, which then involves emotions and actions based on thinking about the future, is psychological fear. It is the sense of fear that the ego knows.

Life does not offer fear, it presents us with moments. This response to life based on thought is always inadequate. The response to life without thought is the response of Intelligence. Okay?

GC: Master, we have another question from another subscriber here on the channel. Maria asks the following question: "Master, why am I always getting distracted, being taken into this illusion of time?"

MG: Why am I always getting distracted, getting carried away in time? Because that's how thought works! What can stop that is this attention on this moment, which is the moment of thought. You get distracted and carried away in time because you put yourself as the person, as the thinker about this thought. Just observe thought, become aware of thought or the feeling, or the emotion in this moment. But don't get involved with it, and tell me if you get carried away by time again. You only get carried away by time when you come into existence as the experiencer of that thought, the experiencer of that experience. That thought, that experience, is the past, it's the memory. Let thought or experience just be what it is, don't get involved with it. By not getting involved with thought, you don't put the thinker in. When you don't get involved with the experience, you don't put the experiencer in; when you don't get involved with the past, you don't put someone who comes from the past into it. So, at that moment, we stop time.

Time only has continuity because this element that comes from the past is involved with memory, with thought, with experience. What interrupts the presence of this element is this attention; looking at our reactions without getting involved with them is breaking with time. Because you break with the intention, with the motive, with the reason of the "I," of this "me," of this ego. This requires the presence of this attention, this requires the presence of Self-awareness.

Looking at this moment, without placing the thinker, the experiencer, the observer in this instant, is to be free from time, is to be free from the "I," is to be free from the ego! Obviously, this requires the presence of a work on ourselves. That is why we have these meetings to deepen this, to allow ourselves this encounter with the present moment without the thinker, without the experiencer, without the past. Okay?

GC: Thank you, Master, our time has come to an end. Thank you for this videocast. And for those of you who are watching the video until the end and really want to comprehend these subjects, we invite you to participate in the meetings that Master Gualberto offers. In these meetings - which exist in-person, retreat format and also in the online weekend format - the Master, in addition to answering directly, live, our questions, because He already lives in this Awakened State of Consciousness, shares this State of Presence. He already lives in this Awakened State of Consciousness, shares this State of Presence. And in this sharing of the Master there is a Power, there is a Force, there is an Energy that is a great facilitator for us to be able to investigate ourselves, to be able to enter, naturally and spontaneously, into the meditative state, to silence our minds... So, here is the invitation. In the first comment, pinned, there is the WhatsApp link to be able to participate in these meetings. Also, give a like to the video, subscribe to the channel... And, Master, once again, thank you for the videocast.

What is introspection? Personal development. Observer and the observed. Observing oneself

Here with you I would like to investigate a subject. Is it true that we really need personal development? What is a person developing? What is this thing that we call someone, me, I? What is the truth about the person? You have an image, a construct, inside your head, about this someone, about this me, about this I, about the person you believe yourself to be.

You may say: "No, I need to develop myself, because I need to be a better version of myself". Note that these statements may seem quite reasonable, but from the moment you investigate, get closer to look at this issue closely - and the question is: what is the truth about this me, about this I, about this person - when you do this, it becomes clear to you that this sense of person is a set of conclusions, opinions, beliefs, ideas and, therefore, a mere imagination about you.

And do we really need this person, who is a mere mental construct, a mere imagination that we have about ourselves? Do we need this person expanding, growing, evolving? After all, what does this mean? What is the meaning of this? Here, another question is about this issue of introspection. Some people ask: "What is introspection and what is its importance, what is its value?" This introspection is something strictly linked to this idea of ??a person in development, in order to develop.

Introspection is looking inside oneself to improve as a person. But who is this element that looks inside oneself? Isn't this an idea? Isn't it also a thought, a belief? Isn't this so-called person looking at oneself? And what can they apply to themselves from this introspection that could truly bring about a deep and radical change in themselves? What would it be? What could they apply? Self-discipline, borrowed knowledge, in an attempt to adapt to them, creating new habits, new patterns of behavior?

Notice, here, with you, we are investigating exactly the nature, the structure of the person. The person is, in fact, the "I," this "me." And what is this "me"? As we have just said: a set of ideas, beliefs, conclusions, opinions, an image that thought within you has been constructed about you. When you are praised, it is the person that feels happy, you swell up like a balloon; but when you are criticized, censured, rejected, you feel sad, unhappy or angry. This is the movement of the person.

But what exactly is this movement of the person? An image, just an image; an image that thought has established about who you are, and you are confusing yourself with it, experiencing moments of pleasure and pain, of joy and sadness, of feeling loved, of feeling rejected, and all of this is within the subjection of this construct of thought, which is this self-image.

Here, together, we are discovering the beauty of discarding this self-image and, therefore, discarding this illusion, which is the illusion of this "me," this "I," this someone, because, in fact, we do not need a better version of this "me," we do not need a better version of ourselves. What we need, in life, is the awareness of the beauty of Life. The beauty of Life consists in the vision of life without illusions. Thought in us is the element of illusion. Thought in you is the idea, the belief, the concept, a mental formulation.

When you have a thought,you have not the thing, you have the imagination of it. Every thought is based on illusion. I invite you to do the following now: see how simple it is. Right now, there is a rabbit there, on your table; it has just sat down and is looking at you. It has two huge ears, it is there, sitting next to you, looking at you. When you hear this, what happens inside you? Look, here is the rabbit.

When you hear something or see something, at that moment, the brain receives it as a stimulus. Upon receiving this stimulus, the brain reproduces this vision within itself. See, you are not seeing the rabbit, or you were not seeing it, but now you see it, because you have just received a word, a suggestion, a thought that has come to you. Since the brain knows rabbit, it had no difficulty at all, and now it is there, sitting. See, this suggestion that we receive from thought makes us see things that do not exist, makes us feel things that are not here.

So, what is the truth about thought? Thought in us deals with illusion. The word chair is not that piece of furniture with four legs where you sit. But when we use the expression "chair," thought recognizes this expression and, immediately, thought builds a chair. Now you have a chair, there it is the chair. And now you have a place to put this little rabbit sitting. See, what is the truth of thought? Thought is not the thing, but it constructs the thing; and after it constructs the thing, you believe in it. And who are you, believing in that? A self-image.

So, our psychological life, which is the life of the "I," is the life of this self-image - this is the person. The person, a construct of thought, this self-image, this person, has a chair with a rabbit sitting there. Our psychological world is the world of the "I"; based on this world of the "I" we are living our lives. This life is the particular idea of ??life for this person. We are living within a psychological context of existence.

Can we get in touch with life as it is, without this model of thought, without this construct of this identity, which is the "I," and with its chair, its rabbit, and this whole psychological world constructed by thought, established in us based on beliefs, opinions, conclusions, evaluations? In this Realization, there is the end of this conditioned mind, this psychological condition of belief, of egoic identity, of the presence of a person.

This is what we are here for investigating with you: the comprehension that what you observe is part of you - there is no separation between what you are seeing and what you are - the truth that the one who observer, being an observer, is before what is observed, not as something separate from him, but as something that is part of himself. This real comprehension that the observer is the very thing he is observing is the basis for the end of this illusion, which is the illusion of thought, which is the illusion of the mind as we know it. This is the end of this hypnotic state that is given to us from the model of thought, which we have received from this culture, this society, this model of the world.

Life based on thought is life in disorder, confusion and suffering. We do not need the person to develop oneself. We need the end of this illusion, this imagination, this construct of thought in us, which is the idea of ??a person. This person is creating his world; this person is the observer with his observed thing, he is not separate from his world. This world is part of him; he is the illusion. His presence is the presence of his world, it is the presence of his illusion.

Here, together, we are discovering what life is like free from the "I," free from ego, free from the person; free from the person, free from this chair, free from this rabbit, free from this world of the person. It is in this world of the person that stress, anxiety, fear, anger, various worries, various forms of confusion, suffering, and anguish are present. It is present in this world of the person to love some and hate others. This is the world of the ego, it is the world of behavior centered on the "I." All this egocentric activity of human behavior is something that is based on the model of thought, on thought constructs.

Thus, we are living within an illusion, which is the illusion of this "I," which is the belief of this observer separate from the observed thing, this observer is the observed thing. The end of this observer is the awareness of life as it is, without the model of thought, without the model of the "I," without the model of the ego. So, what we need in life is not introspection or personal development; what we need in life is the awareness of this self-observation. Observing oneself is putting an end to this psychological condition of ego-identity, of illusory separation between this observer and the observed thing. This is the end of this separation, this duality.

The awareness of your Being is the awareness of God, it is the awareness of Real Life, it is the awareness of Love, of Freedom, of Happiness. This is what some call Spiritual Enlightenment or Spiritual Awakening. It is the Truth of this Being, which is the Truth of God. When This is present, these constructs, which are the constructs of thought, creating an artificial life for an artificial center, for an artificial identity, for this so-called person, no longer exist.

The Flourishing of your Real Nature, the Flourishing of your Divine Nature is the awareness of God, the only Reality present, which Reveals itself when this model of thought is no longer constructing imaginations, constructing its own particular world to live in, seeing itself as a separate element of it, having control over all of this. This is the illusion of the ego, this is the illusion of the "I," this is the illusion of thought.

This is what we are here for, to delve deeper into these online meetings on the weekends. We have two days together working on the Awakening of Consciousness, of this Real Consciousness, which is the Truth of God. Here, in the video description, you can find our WhatsApp link to participate in these online meetings on the weekends. In addition to these meetings, we also have in-person meetings and retreats. If this is something that makes sense to you, here is an invitation. Leave your like here, subscribe to the channel, and leave a comment saying: "Yes, that makes sense." Ok? And we'll see you soon. Thanks for the meeting and see you next time!

Joel Goldsmith | Living the Illumined Life | What is Self-awareness? | 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 will read an excerpt from a book by Joel Goldsmith called "Living the Illumined Life." In an excerpt from this book, Master, Joel makes the following comment: "Everyone should be awakened to the comprehension and knowledge of their True Identity."

Master, in this excerpt, Joel talks about knowing ourselves. Within this subject, can the Master share his vision of what Self-awareness is?

MG: Gilson, comprehending the Truth about oneself is not understanding, it is not theory, it is not belief, it is not imagination about oneself; it is something direct! This comprehension is, by nature, based on Self-awareness. We need to know ourselves, know our thoughts, our feelings, our emotions, our sensations, our perceptions. This knowing is not the knowing of someone who separates himself to see himself, from this separation. We have a mistaken idea about the vision of the Truth about who we are. For us, this vision is the mere recognition of who we are to improve, to change ourselves, to transform ourselves, to become another person. This is what people generally call self-awareness: "I need to know myself to improve as a person, to be a better person." So, there is this knowledge to be acquired about "me" and there is this "me," this "I," to acquire it.

This is not the sense in which we use the expression "Self-awareness" here. Here, knowing oneself, comprehending oneself, requires discovering what it means to look and realize that this movement within us, of thought, emotion, feeling, and that every type of response we are giving to life, is something that comes from a background of memory, which represents exactly this "me" and knowledge, this "I" and thought, this one who feels and feeling. This human consciousness, this consciousness of the "I," this consciousness of the "me," lives in this duality, in this separation. What you have about yourself is a thought that this "me" has, that this "me" carries. This is within this duality.

What we have called here the vision of Self-awareness is the comprehension that this duality is based on a mistake, on a mistaken view of life, a mistaken view of ourselves. This is because there is no such thing as "I." This "I" is this very model of present thought, which is a conditioning that is present in each one of us. The end of this conditioning is the end of this "I" and knowledge, is the end of the one who feels and feeling, is the end of this ego, of this ego-identity. Therefore, Self-awareness is the end of the illusion of someone present, separating from life, separating from thought as the thinker, separating oneself from feeling, as the one who feels, or from knowledge as the one who knows.

From the moment we learn to look at our reactions, we realize that these reactions are something that comes from memory, from remembrance, they are something that comes from the past. It is not the Truth about your Being, it is not the Truth about Real Consciousness. This "I" with this non-"I," this thinker with thought, this one who feels with what he feels, is something within this egoic consciousness, this consciousness in duality, which is the consciousness of the person. Looking at our reactions is discovering this illusion and discarding this illusion for the emergence of something new. This new something is the presence of Intelligence in this Real Consciousness, in this Divine Consciousness, which is the Consciousness of God.

Therefore, it is not a change in the person, it is a radical and profound change when Real Life is present. It is not the person changing, it is not the person transforming, it is something new present. This is the Real change, it is the Real transformation that we need. This brings about the awareness of this Being, the awareness of this Real and Divine Consciousness. Thus, the vision of life free from the ego, free from the "I," becomes possible. Thus, we have two elements here: this work that is necessary and the mysterious Presence of this Grace. Just as we cannot speak of Love - I refer to Real Love, not what we know as love, which is linked to feeling, emotion, memory, remembrance and which, in general, in us turns into anger, disappointment, frustration, feelings of rejection, jealousy. This is not Love! I refer to Real Love. The awareness of this Real Love is something that we can experience and need to experience in life, but there is nothing to say about it. There is nothing that can be said about it, just like this question of Grace. These two elements are fundamental for the flourishing of this Natural Divine State, this Natural State of Being, which some call Awakening or Enlightenment. It is the presence of Self-awareness and this mysterious Presence of Grace.

We are facing something that reveals itself when Meditation is present. This encounter with the moment, becoming aware of this instant, is what we are calling an encounter - it is not something that happens in time, it is something that is verified in this instant. This encounter with the moment is observing what is present here, externally and internally. It is possible to look at what is outside and look at what is happening inside us, without any involvement of the past. This past is the thinker, this past is the experiencer, this past is the element that comes and separates itself to like what is seen externally or reject it, to want or not want it. This also applies to the internal. When you appreciate some thoughts in yourself and hold on to them, you are placing this egoic identity in the experience of thought, or feeling, or emotion. And when you don't like that thought or feeling or emotion, you reject it. And, once again, there you are, that element that comes from the past, getting involved with what is showing itself here.

The presence of this attention, which is this look without getting involved with what is outside or with what is inside, is the presence of Self-awareness. When there is no such involvement, there is not this duality. If there is not this duality, there is a space that opens up, and this space is the Presence of Silence. The mind becomes quiet, the brain becomes silent, a new space is present. This space is the presence of Meditation. All of this is possible because of the work. All of this is possible because of the presence of this Divine Mystery, which is the Presence of Grace. This makes this vision of life possible in this instant, of life in this moment, without the ego, without the "I," without the experiencer, without the thinker. Your encounter with the Reality of your Being is the encounter with Life in this instant, free from the "I," free from the ego.

GC: Master, we have a question from a subscriber here on the channel. Wellington asked the following question: "Good morning! Could you talk a little about free will and how one person's consciousness impacts the consciousness of others?"

MG: Gilson, we need to investigate this issue of this element. Who is this element with freedom? What is this element that says it has the freedom to make choices? Why do we use expressions like "self-consciousness" or "free will"? This issue of making choices, of being able to choose, is this what we call "free will"? Who is this element present making choices, being able to choose? From where does he choose? From where does he make choices? Isn't it from his memory, from his experiences? From what he likes and what he doesn't like? From what he wants and what he doesn't want? Is this free will? Isn't this a biased inclination from this background, from this past? What is the truth about this "me"? What is the truth about this "I"? Is there a difference between the thought you have and this "you" involved with thought? So, follow this calmly here. Is it true that you can, in fact, choose? Or is this something that comes exactly from this background, from this reaction? When you have a thought, do you have thought because you want to have it, choose to have it, resolve to have it, or does it just appear? Observe!

We were raised with a vision, an idea, a perspective, a model of belief where we believe we are the masters of thought, the masters of action, the masters of choice. Is there this master of action, of thought and of choice? Or is this so-called action, thought and choice something that happens? See, that is exactly what we are saying here. There is no such thing as "I," what we have present are reactions that come from the past. These reactions are what determine our actions, like our thoughts and our choices. It is the idea, it is the illusion of a personal consciousness, of an individual consciousness that gives us the belief that someone is present.

Note that, in your question, you ask exactly this, about this consciousness. You ask how a person's consciousness influences the consciousness of others. Note, it is the illusion of this person, of this individual consciousness making choices, having thoughts and taking actions. All of this, Gilson, revolves around a mental confusion that we have. In fact, it revolves around a cultural conditioning that we bring: the idea of ??someone present in this moment in life, as a separate element of life; someone present in this moment, having an individual consciousness. Note that the model of thought present in human beings is the same, human beings have the same model of consciousness. This consciousness is the consciousness common to all! Fear is something common, anger is something common, worries are something common. Jealousy is something common, envy is something common, ambition is something common to everyone! See, we are dealing with internal states that only change in terms of the objects for each individual in particular, but the movement of consciousness is one.

There is no such thing, Gilson, as this individual consciousness - or this individual consciousness is only the particular representation, in this body and mind, of this human consciousness, which is the consciousness common to all. Our consciousness is the collective consciousness. The particularity is that each organism, each mechanism has lived through some experiences and this is particularized in this brain, but the condition of human consciousness is the condition of consciousness common to all. This idea of ??someone having consciousness and, from this consciousness, moving freely, this does not exist. We are living within a model of conditioning, being exactly what everyone has been before us. We are envy, fear, jealousy, anger, ambition, worries. This condition of this egoic consciousness, which is the consciousness common to all, is one of ignorance, not of freedom, not of intelligence, not of wisdom.

When there is the end of illusion, when there is the end of ignorance, there is something present, and it is no longer this individual consciousness, as thought imagines. It is no longer this condition of consciousness common to all, which is this collective consciousness, involved in this movement of thought, emotion and feeling, and particularizing this for each one of us. There is the presence of something new, which is the Presence of this Being, which is the Presence of Truth, which is the Presence of God. When there is Real intelligence, Real Presence, Real Consciousness, it is Intelligence that determines everything, and not choices, and not this idea of ??liking and disliking, of wanting and not wanting.

There is something present in this Natural State, Gilson, in this Natural State of Being, which some call Awakening or Spiritual Enlightenment. This energy, this power, this presence takes over this body and this mind. It is no longer someone in this idea of ??consciousness, in this belief of free will or freedom. It is the Truth of God, it is the Truth of your Being. Thus, all this illusion of someone dissolves, and this model of a person is undone. This is what we are here, working on with you, going deeper with you. Okay?

GC: Master, we have another question from a subscriber here on the channel. Gisele asks the following question: "Would an inspiration be a thought that does not originate from human memory?"

MG: Gilson, you ask about inspiration - if there is Real inspiration, there is no someone. When we have Real inspiration, there is no model of this thinker, this experiencer; there is no longer the model of this "I." So, why talk about a thought? Why talk about an inspiration for this "me," for this "I"? This word "inspiration" is quite delicate, because the idea that in general we have is of someone having this inspiration. When there is the Truth of this Intelligence, this Wisdom, this vision, it is not for someone. So, it is not an inspiration, it is an awareness of the unknown, a vision of That which is indescribable. The Reality of this Being, which is you in your Real Nature, does not need inspiration, does not depend on inspiration, has no moments for inspiration. This is another aspect! The idea of ??an inspiration is something that happens at one moment and the next moment it is no longer there. It is something that happens sometimes and sometimes it is not there. So, you can be inspired now and not be inspired the next moment.

The Reality of your Being is not like this. What you are in your Real Nature is Wisdom, Intelligence, Love, Truth, Comprehension. This awareness of life is all that is necessary for each one of us, and not inspirations, and not moments where you have some glimpses, some insights, some perceptions of something outside of memory, outside of the known. Yes, this is possible to happen, but the sense of "I," of the ego, is still there. Here, with you, we are investigating the end, exactly, of this "I," of this ego and, therefore, the end of these moments, the end of these insights. The awareness that is you is the Truth of God. There is no separation between life, you and Divine Reality. It is not about a visitation of the unknown, expressing yourself in an inspired way, it is about your speech, your gaze, your silence, as well as your actions and gestures, being born from this State of attention, this State of Presence, this State of Consciousness.

In general, people are concerned about what happens in those moments when a person feels inspired to paint a picture, to write a poem... when, at that moment, they know that they have been touched by something outside of memory. But, look, that doesn't matter! When you are presented here, clearly, with the vision that you, in your Real Nature, are inspiration itself, you are the unknown itself, you are the indescribable presence of Truth, Art, Awareness, Beauty, Truth, Love. The good news is that you, in your Being, are That. This is revealed when this sense of "I," of the ego, is no longer present. That is why our emphasis here is on this self-discovery, this vision of ourselves. It is the discovery of what is here, it is the realization of what is here. It is not something to be done tomorrow, in the future. This future, this tomorrow, is something that thought imagines. When we are dealing with something outside of thought, we are dealing with something outside of time.

This is the Reality that is present, and this Reality is timeless. This is the Truth of inspiration, this is the Truth of your Being. Assume this in this life and this life will be an inspired life. It is not someone else's life, it is Divine life, it is the life of God, it is the Truth of God. This is the Truth of your Being, this is the Truth of God. Okay?

GC: Thank you, Master, our time is now over. Thank you for this videocast. And for those of you who are following the videocast until the end and really want to delve deeper and live these truths, we invite you to participate in the intensive weekend meetings that Master Gualberto offers. There are online meetings, as well as in-person meetings and retreats. In these meetings, Master Gualberto, in addition to answering our questions directly, shares this State of Presence in which He lives. And in this sharing there is a Power, there is an Energy, there is a Strength and a Grace, that we end up being carried by this energy of the Master, just by being in his Presence. And by doing so, it is much easier to investigate ourselves, we spontaneously enter a Meditative State, we silence our minds, and we can have a comprehension, a vision of what is beyond intellectual understanding. So, here is the invitation. In the first comment, pinned, there is the WhatsApp link to be able to participate in these meetings. And tgo ahead and give a "like" to the video, subscribe to the channel. And Master, once again, thank you for the videocast.

Practicing Self-awareness. Escape and self-awareness. What is Self-awareness? Self-inquiry.

A very common thing in life is this movement in us to escape from pain, to be always looking for something that fills us sentimentally, emotionally, psychologically, and that takes the place of this pain. Note that it is undeniable that, psychologically, as human beings, we live in a confused, disoriented way. We have problems of various types; and there is this movement of escape within us.

Here we have explained to you the difference between approaching oneself for Self-awareness and this movement of escape. So, escape and Self-awareness are something to be comprehended, investigated. We need the Truth of Happiness present in life, the Freedom that is present in it, the Love that is present in it. We do not have eyes for this, because we are always looking at life from the model of thought; and in this model of thought, we are looking for something.

I want to touch on this with you here, this no need for search. We have two ways of doing this: the first is by searching in the world, in the material environment; the second is by searching outside the world, in the so-called spiritual world or in the spiritual environment. Either we are searching for material achievements or spiritual achievements. This movement of search is, in fact, a movement of searching for experiences. So, let us touch on this here with you now, at this moment.

This search for experiences are projections that we have of what would be ideal for each one of us. Where do these projections occur? In the mind. The mind within us is the presence of the projection mechanism. What we call the mind is this present movement of consciousness within us; this movement is a movement of thoughts.

We were educated to live within a cultural context in which everyone is at some level of internal dissatisfaction, at some level of internal psychological condition of suffering, guiding their lives in this search, in this pursuit. And we have learned this, and we are constantly projecting, from within ourselves, from this conditioned mind, from this cultural model that we received from the world, also our ideals, our projects, our dreams, that which will make us happy. This is how we are moving through life, in this search.

This search is the attempt, in this projection of an ideal to be achieved, in this accomplishment of an experience, to escape from what is present here, which presents itself as dissatisfaction. Here I want to touch with you on the beauty of this encounter with what is here in this moment, without running away.

People are looking for relief from pain, for a refuge, for a place where they can hide, hide away, so as not to be reached by suffering, by some level of discomfort. Hence these two alternatives - this so-called material search or spiritual search - are learned alternatives, they are alternatives of thought, of this pattern of cultural conditioning.

What would it be like to face pain without running away? They don't show us the importance of this. You will never become aware of the end of this pain while you are escaping from it. This movement of escaping pain is a movement that does not end. Thus, every form of search does not end. It does not end because this element in the search, like this element in the pain, continues to live. And who is this element? It is the element that seeks to separate itself, to preserve itself, to distance itself from life as it is, from life as it happens. This element is the "I," this element is the ego, this feeling of personhood that you have, of someone, of this "me."

When you, for example, are angry with someone, instead of dealing with the pain of anger, the internal movement within you is to justify the anger, explain the anger, or take revenge, because there is in us the imagination that by doing so, this pain will end or diminish. This is the movement of running away from the pain, of escaping from the pain. We do not know how to deal with anger, but we also do not know how to deal with fear, with anxiety. We do not know how to deal with the pain that jealousy is causing in each one of us. The movement is to take revenge, to justify, to explain, to seek some new experience; this search for a new experience is to escape this contact with the pain.

The Truth of the Revelation of Bliss, of Love, of the Peace of Freedom, resides in the awareness of the Truth about You, and you do not have this awareness while you run away. Thus, this search is a distancing from oneself - this search for a new experience. This escape is a distancing from oneself. All this in an attempt to not deal with the experience and not to contact the experience, not to confront it, not to come into direct contact with it. This preserves this sense of ego, this sense of "I." In this self-preservation, pain, dissatisfaction, anger, fear, jealousy, envy are constantly present.

The various problems that you have in life only exist because you, as someone, are seeing yourself in this context, in this model of seeking new experiences or escaping from this condition. Here, the presence of Self-awareness gives us the basis for the end of this psychological condition, which is the condition of this someone, of this "me," of this ego. So, what is Self-awareness? Self-awareness is the awareness of what is. It doesn't matter what is present; what is present is what needs to be seen. What is present is what is revealing itself, what is present is what was inside and is coming to the surface; what was hidden and is coming to the surface; what was deep inside and is showing itself at this moment.

The basis of our relations, when they are based on this ignorance about this "me," this "I," this ego, are relations that are constantly producing suffering, producing discomfort, producing problems. This is present because of the presence of ignorance. You see yourself as a separate element from him or her; this separation is sustained by a construct of thoughts that you have about who you are, about who he or she is. This is how all our relations are. They are producing confusion, producing disturbance, producing disturbances for both, for this "me" and for the other, for this someone and for the other. This is the life of the "I," this is the life of the ego.

So, what is the presence of Self-awareness? It is the presence of the awareness of how you are functioning at this moment, of how you feel, of how you think, what your emotions are, what your vision of him or her is, what your vision of yourself is. The awareness of this is the presence of Self-awareness. Comprehending oneself, becoming aware of oneself, and discovering what this "me" is, what this someone is. This is only possible when you are no longer in search, either of experience or escape. In search of an experience of gratification, of greater fulfillment, of greater satisfaction, of greater external fulfillment, or in search, in this sense of an escape, the search to escape from this state in which you find yourself.

If there is fear present, it is fear to be seen. If it is frustration, if it is disappointment, if it is anger, that is what is present here, that is what you are. Getting closer to yourself is becoming aware of how you function, of what these internal processes are in this consciousness, which is the consciousness of the "I," which is the consciousness of this "me." And when there is no such separation, this contact with oneself brings us closer to the Revelation of how this "I," this thinker, this element in feeling, this element in action responds to this moment. When we come across this comprehension of ourselves, a new quality of action emerges; this action is the end of this reaction response, which comes from this past movement.

You have always responded with sadness to thoughts of sadness; you have always responded with anger to thoughts of upsetment - ??of frustration of your desires - and now you are realizing this. Your relation with him or her has always been, within you, suspicious, insecure, fearful; this has just revealed to you the presence of jealousy, of emotional dependence. Note, the awareness of oneself is not to do something against it or to do something with it, but it is simply to become aware. The simple and direct look, without this element that comes from the past to interfere with it, is the elimination of the ego, it is the elimination of the "I."

So, what do I do to free myself from jealousy, envy, fear, anger, worries? Observe! Just observe the pattern of thought, the pattern of reactions, that have always been repeated there in this structure, in this body and mind, whenever they appeared, whenever they appear. Be aware of this, in this instant. You are in touch with the present moment without this element that separates you, which is the observer, which is the thinker, which is the experiencer, which is this "me," this "I." This is the presence of Self-awareness.

So, what is Self-awareness? It is to realize, to become aware, to bring to this moment the comprehension of the very movement of this "I," which separates itself into observer and observed thing, into thinker and thought, into experiencer and experience, into this "I" and the "non-I." When you become aware that an image has been constructed, and from this image this movement of reaction maintains its continuity, due to inattention, simply looking at it is the presence of Attention, it is the presence of Consciousness, the presence of this passive, real vigilance. Thus, a new quality of action emerges.

This is what I could call here as the practical vision of Self-awareness. Some out there call the practice of self-awareness something entirely different from what we are addressing here, because it is not about someone knowing themselves in order to adjust, to change, to behave in a different way. Here, the presence of Truth, of the awareness of Self-knowledge, of practicing Self-awareness, is not someone involved in a practice, but the pure awareness of the revelation of this "me." This is practicing Self-awareness! It is not someone practicing Self-awareness. It is Truth of the awareness of oneself revealing oneself.

Revelation itself is the end of this psychological condition of duality, of "I" and "not-I," of observer and observed, of experiencer and experience. So, the truth of this self-inquiry is the awareness of this looking, without the past. It is just looking, listening, perceiving; it is becoming aware of oneself, in this instant. This is the end of the "I," this is the end of this "me," this is the end of the ego. This ends the search for experiences, this ends the escape for these states. This is the end of the "I" in search or in escape, this is the end of the ego.

A contact with the Reality of this Being is a contact with the Reality of That which is beyond this "me," this sense of someone present. Then, there is a profound change, there is a profound transformation. Something new emerges, and this new Something is the presence of Love, it is the presence of Freedom, it is the presence of Happiness, when the "I" is not there, when the ego is not there, when all this psychological disorder, which thought sustains in this egoic consciousness, is no longer present. This is the Flourishing of your Natural State of Being, which is Real Consciousness, which is Real Bliss. It is the presence of God, it is the presence of Truth.

This is what we are here with you delving into these weekends. We are together for two days, where we will be working on this with you on Saturday and Sunday. How to have this approach to yourself in life, in order to end this "I." You can find our WhatsApp link here, in the video description, to participate in these online meetings on the weekend. In addition, we have in-person meetings and also retreats. If this is something that makes sense to you, here is an invitation. Leave your "like," subscribe to the channel and leave here in the comments: "Yes, this makes sense." Ok? And we will see you. Thanks for the meeting and see you soon!

Joel Goldsmith | Conscious Union with God | What is Attention? | 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 will read an excerpt from a book by Joel Goldsmith called "Conscious Union with God." In an excerpt from this book, Master, Joel makes the following comment: "Bring your attention again and again, and as many times as you lose that focus, I will gently bring it back." Well, on this issue of attention, can the Master share his vision on what attention is?

MG: Gilson, this issue of attention is one that, when investigated, makes us comprehend the reality of what is present. It is the presence of attention that brings us closer, precisely, to life as it is happening. We do not have a direct look at life as it happens, because we lack this direct perception. We lack this direct proximity to this given thing, because we lack attention. Sometimes we express attention; when something arouses our interest, we look at it. In this look, it occurs naturally, because of this interest in it, a complete attention at that moment. So, we are before that in attention. We spend our lives, Gilson, in fact, inattentive. We do not pay attention to what is present here, neither externally nor internally. This moment of interest in a given thing brings about a moment in which we are whole, in which we are complete, there, in that given situation; it is when we are attentive.

Therefore, the presence of attention is fundamental. We do not know ourselves, due to the absence of this attention. We spend the day, for example, loaded with thoughts, heavy, burdensome thoughts, overloaded with ideas, opinions, judgments, beliefs... as well as feelings, emotions, sensations. And, in general, in this form of consciousness, which is the consciousness that we have, we do not bring attention to this moment. This is what gives us this form of consciousness that we are, that we express, that we manifest ourselves to be. This form of consciousness in us is unconsciousness... We are not aware of thoughts happening in us. Feelings, emotions are processed - as well as every type of response that we are giving to life at this moment - generally all of this occurs unconsciously. It is just an automatic response, it is just a mechanical response! This response in us is something that comes from the past.

Psychologically, internally, we are the result of memory. The experiences we have gone through have given us this formation - this formation is the formation of the "I." Thus, the way we respond to life is, invariably, the form of the past, because it is the way of remembrance, it is the way, it is in the format of past experiences, and this response is automatic, it is unconscious, it is mechanical. We do not know how to deal with the present moment, because we are not, at this moment, aware of what is here. It is just the automatic way of responding, it is just the mechanical, unconscious way of the action of thought, feeling, and emotion. At times, as I said a while ago, we have some interest in this moment, in this instant. So, at times, this instant causes us a deep, significant interest. When this happens, a moment of attention naturally occurs.

When you are walking in a park, looking at everything there. when you are walking in a forest, hiking, on a riverbank or sitting on the beach. these moments naturally awaken in us the interest to look, to observe, to stay with the details, with the vision, in such a present way that there is no separation, because our whole heart is there, our whole mind is there, our whole being is there, in this look at these details. So, in that moment, there is an internal level of perception. This perception is a perception where there is no longer a separation between the "I" who observes and what is there, being observed. Real interest brings this attention to the point that what is there is the only thing. In that moment, there is a contact; in that contact, the sense of "I" disappears and there is this look, this perception, without separation, without division. That moment is the moment of attention.

In life, we need to awaken to attention, we need to become aware of what is present here, in this moment. It is in this contact, it is in this closeness, that we push away ideas. There is no space in this moment, because there is no separation, there is no division between you and what is present there. Note that this is very easy to happen and happens very frequently when we are in contact with nature. When you are in front of a tree or a flower, in a garden or in an open field, that solitary flower attracts your attention. So, in this contact with nature, this happens very often, but we do not pay the same attention to what is happening here, inside each one of us.

When you have a thought pattern, if it is pleasant, pleasurable, comforting, or encouraging, at that moment your attention does not exist, because you are so involved with thought, so identified with thought that there is a condition of unconsciousness for this quality of thought. There is no attention to this reaction. By force of habit, we have a very strong tendency to confuse ourselves, to identify with ourselves, to value the thought that gives us pleasure, the mental image that gives us pleasure. In this moment of identification with thought, this enjoyment of this quality of memory, of remembrance, of image - because thought is this - we are in this consciousness of the "I," this egoic consciousness.

This also applies to bad thoughts. When they are unpleasant, instead of identifying with them, we reject them. We want to get rid of these bad, unpleasant images, these remembrances, these recollections, these thoughts. And, in this moment, this separation, this division occurs. Therefore, we are either identified with thought or rejecting thoughts, and in both ways, we are feeding the condition of unconsciousness. There is no attention to this reaction, there is no attention to this instant, to this moment. Whether it is a thought, a feeling. later it becomes an emotion, a form of expression of this feeling, and all of this happens to us in an unconscious, mechanical way.

However, when there is this attention, this consciousness, there is a release of this consciousness of the "I," there is a release of this unconsciousness. There is neither identification with thought, nor rejection of thought, nor feeling or emotion. There is only one look, a gaze free from the "I," a gaze free from this separation. The truth of this attention brings you closer to Self-awareness, and Self-awareness reveals Meditation to you. This is what we have worked on here and shown you here: how, in this life, to assume the Truth about your Being, about That which you are in this Real Consciousness, in this true Consciousness that is this attention, which is the basis of Self-awareness and Meditation, makes it possible. Okay?

GC: Master, we have a question from a subscriber on the channel. Maria das Graças makes the following comment and asks: "So, there is no such thing as Awakened one, we are born sleeping and we die sleeping. What is life? Very complicated! In fact, a great confusion that no one can explain, because no one has access to and true knowledge. In Divine Consciousness we are individuals with unique thoughts."

MG: Gilson, there is some confusion here in this question: We are born sleeping, we live sleeping and we die sleeping in this unconsciousness, in this model of egoic consciousness, of consciousness of the "I." So, in this model of this egoic mind, of this unconsciousness, what life is, is confusion! So, what is life in this state of unconsciousness? Suffering, confusion! We have to become aware of what is, in order to naturally go beyond this. For what is life, in this life of the "I"? Envy, ambition, conflict present in these desires, the presence of fear, all of this is present in life as it is in this egoic condition. That is not what we are putting here, for you. We need to become aware of what is, in order to understand what is, and that is the end of this condition of unconsciousness. Your Natural State of Being is Awake. Yes, it is Awake, it is free from this unconsciousness, it is free from this dream, it is free from what is in this particular life of the "I." Therefore, there is Real life, Real life as it is, but in this sense of "I" we are unaware of it, we are living a life created by thought, fed by this condition of unconsciousness. So, this life as it is, the life that is as it is in the ego, is what we need to free ourselves from, along with this sense of "I," because it is not natural. We are faced with ordinary life, ordinary thought, ordinary feeling, ordinary responses to this pattern of life that we know.

Gilson, we need to get closer to life. Yes, to comprehend how it is, to go beyond what it is, to the awareness of Real Divine Life, the Real Life of God, the Real Life of this Being. Therefore, Awakening in this life is the only thing that matters. Going beyond this internal, psychological, emotional, sentimental condition of egoic existence, where all this movement within us is egocentric movement. The movement that separates itself from life as it happens, because we are not dealing with life as it really is, but rather as thought idealizes it. This idealization of thought is giving us life as it appears to be, as it seems to be, as it is, but we are faced with this artificial model of life, which is the model of separation. There is the presence of this "I," this "me;" this person and life. There is no such thing as a separation between this "I" and life; Truth is life. But life, being Truth, is the presence of this Being, of this Divine Reality. This is the Awakened State, this is the Awakened State. So, this confusion in thought is something that disappears when there is this Awareness of Truth, this Divine Awareness, this Awareness of God.

This contact with life is a possible contact when this separation no longer exists. We are not in contact with life; our contact with life is contact through thought. We do not recognize life, we are always in the recognition of thought; every form of recognition is based on the past. We believe that we are in contact with our wife, but in fact, we are in contact with the image we have of her. in contact with our husband, with our family, with the world around us. It is through the curtain of thought, it is through the way in which thought represents the husband, the wife, the family, the world. So, there is no real contact - the real contact is that which is present when the "I" is not. So, in that moment, there is no separation. This is Awakening, this is your Natural State, free from the "I," free from the ego. Okay?

GC: Master, we have another question from another subscriber here on the channel. José asks the following question: "And what is this dream for? And then? . And why dreaming?"

MG: Your question is: "What is this dream for?" I ask you: What is this dream for? Why is this dream present? Because we have been conditioned to a way of responding to the instant, to the present moment, within the model of thought. Since thought is a response that comes from the past, all our response from thought is from an element that is within that experience, which is the experiencer, which is the thinker. That is what makes the dream possible. That is what makes the dream happen. Yes, it is a good question: "And what is this dream for?" Really, what is the need to live in this psychological condition of thought pattern, where we constantly continue such an artificial life as this, which is the life of separation? And you keep asking: "And then what? Why continue in this dream?" The Reality of life is the comprehension of the Beauty of this encounter with this moment, without the past. That is the end of the dream!

In these meetings, we are working on exactly this with you: having a clear comprehension that life consists of what it is. It is not what thought says it is, what a feeling involved with thought says it is, what an emotion involved with feeling - which, in turn, this feeling is involved with thought - says it is. It is when, based on thought, our identity consists of this someone in feeling and in the expression of emotion, that this illusory identity is present, which sees itself separate from life - this is the condition of the dream. The encounter with the Reality of life is an encounter with Beauty, it is the presence of sensitivity that brings this intelligence in this encounter with the Beauty of life. This is what shows us the Reality of That which is here, free from the past, free from the experiencer, free from the thinker, free from the ego. This contact with Beauty is contact with Intelligence, which is contact with this sensitivity of a response to this moment without the past. This is how, in this encounter with Reality, That which is beyond the "I," beyond the ego, beyond all this movement of self-centeredness, of egocentric self-interest, is revealed.

Yes, there is no need to maintain this continuity of the dream - it ends when thought ceases. It is not about stopping thinking, it is about freeing oneself from conditioned thinking, from mechanical thinking, from psychological thinking, from the pattern of thought that gives foundation to this life of the "I," this life of the ego. Here in these encounters, our approach is to this vision of life, to this vision of Reality, to this vision of God. There is no dream in your Natural State of Being. This dream is in the model of thought, in this imagination of the "I," in this idea of ??someone who is living in this moment because he came from the past and is going to the future. All of this ends when illusion ends. All of this dissolves, all of this disappears. Life in this moment is the Truth of your Being, and there is no dream here. Okay?

GC: Thank you, Master, our time has come to an end. Thank you for this videocast. And for those of you who are following the videocast until the end and really want to have a real comprehension of these teachings, we invite you to participate in the meetings that Master Gualberto offers. These are intensive weekend meetings. They are available online, in person and also as retreats. In these meetings, in addition to the Master answering our questions directly, something much more impactful than that happens. Because the Master already lives in this Awakened State of Consciousness, He shares this State of Presence in which He lives. And in this sharing there is a Power, a Strength and a Grace, so that we are carried along by this Master's energy. And by taking this ride, spontaneously and naturally, we enter the meditative state, we silence our minds... So, here is the invitation. In the first comment, pinned, there is the WhatsApp link to be able to participate in these meetings. In addition, give a like to the video, subscribe to the channel and also leave comments here, bringing questions for the next videocasts. And once again, Master, thank you for the videocast.
