Kundalini Yoga | How to Find God? | Meditation: What Is It? | Learning about Self-Awareness

??"What do you have to tell us about Kundalini Yoga?" In fact, I receive several questions. Many questions are placed here on the channel and also in online meetings that we have on weekends. So, what is this so-called Kundalini? The word "Yoga" means union or a joining. The final purpose of Yoga is this encounter-it has the same purpose in the question "How to find God?" The purpose is to have union, an encounter.

However, we have to investigate this calmly. If the proposal is this union, this encounter-notice-the common idea is the idea of two things that unite in the joining or that have an encounter; it is the presence of two things meeting: you and God. The expression "Kundalini" means energy; it refers to the idea of an energy present in us that, upon Awakening, creates an internal change in this organism, in this mechanism, and thus places the brain in a condition or disposition for this encounter. But let us calmly look at all of this.

What is this encounter with God or with Truth? How is this process? Will there really be someone for this encounter? Or does the Reality of this encounter consist in the verification of Life without the "I," without the person, without the ego? Thus, the Reality of this Flowering, of this Awakening of Kundalini, is the awareness of Life revealing itself as this encounter. The investigation of the Nature of the "I," of this "who I am," will show you that there is no one present. There is no such someone; there is not this "I."

Learning about Self-Awareness is that which, in fact, shows you the truth about this. All this movement of practice, system, or technique with the purpose of having an encounter with God-whether through the practice of Yoga or through the practice of Meditation-has to be investigated, because here we are dealing with something that is here and now, and there is not this "I" for this practice; there is not this "someone" as an agent capable of acting in this direction-as if there were, in fact, a path.

The idea of an encounter between two points requires the presence of space and time. Divine Reality is not in time. You cannot have an encounter with God; the Reality of this Being, which is You, is this encounter. That which is present here is the Reality of this Being. There is no element that separates itself to be able to have an encounter in the future-going from point A to point B.

The mind in us is an element laden with illusions. This mechanism-the mind as an instrument-is present laden with concepts, with ideas, with disfigurements; this element present, which we call mind, is incapable of an encounter like this. We need to discover something beyond the mind, beyond the "I," beyond this idea of separation between "me and God," between "the one who will practice, the practice, and the purpose." It is all that we are here, in these meetings, investigating with you.

Therefore, what is this encounter? How to find God? Through practice? Through a technique? Through a system? Through some other means? Or is the Revelation of God That which reveals itself here in this instant when illusion is no longer present? It is in this that we are here investing our moment of research, of investigation, of study, of inquiry.

Learning about ourselves-learning how the mind, thought, feeling, emotion, sensation-how our actions process, our gestures also; becoming aware of how this moment reveals itself, without the need for an identity that separates itself, which is the "I," the ego-only the awareness of this reveals this Real Awakening.

The expression "Kundalini," or "Real Consciousness," or "Divine Truth," or "God"-these are only expressions. Here, what is important is the need for comprehension of the totality of Life, the vision of the Reality of the moment, without the mistake, without the error, without the deception of the egoic mind, of this mind that, as an instrument, is showing itself incapable of a contact with Reality, because this very instrument is unnecessary.

There is a Reality present here. The mind-as a mechanism or an instrument-may have some utility. Yes, it may have some utility. For practical and objective purposes in this so-called dream of human life, knowledge, experience, memory, remembrance, as well as feelings, emotions, sensations, perceptions, all of this is within the mind, of what we call consciousness. But this consciousness is limited; this mind is limited.

Thus, for purposes of a contact with life in this dream of existence-okay-thought is functional; emotion as well. But this does not encompass, it does not reach Reality. Truth, Reality, God is That which is present beyond the mind and, therefore, beyond our experiences. The experience that the person has in this model-which is the model of the "I"-is something circumscribed, confined, within this limitation of thought.

Therefore, why does the human being suffer? Because he lives in this model, in this personal consciousness; he lives within this mind, in this mechanism. Is there something beyond the mind? The awareness of God is the Truth of Being, and this is something beyond the mind. So, we have here the presence of a quality of Life outside this limitation, this egoic identity, this mind trapped in its concepts, evaluations, opinions, beliefs, conclusions.

Therefore, with the Awakening of this Natural State of Being, which some call "Kundalini," yes, we have the presence of this Divine Revelation. But it is not someone having this Revelation; it is Truth revealing itself, beyond the "I," beyond the ego, beyond the person. All this movement of seeking, all this involvement with technique or practice of some kind to obtain this, is an illusion. You cannot obtain this; you do not go to this Reality called God. It is That that comes; it is That that reveals itself when the mind undergoes a profound change, a radical transformation.

That which we call mind, which we know, recognize, you see, it is always from thought, and thought is within this limitation; it deals with that which it perceives, recognizes, and knows, and this is part of all the impressions of the known. Divine Reality is not within the known; it transcends the mind; it transcends thought.

Here, the good news is that You in your Natural State of Being... Look, in your Natural State of Being-not in this common state of being. The common state of being that we know is this idea of "I am, but I will be," "I still do not have, but I will have," 'I need to have an encounter with God," "I need to Awaken Kundalini"'-it is the idea of this 'I' in the "coming to be."

Therefore, there is a difference between this idea of being, in this being for "coming to be," to the Reality of Being. Divine Reality is the Reality of Being, and this is not in the coming to be; this is here when there is no longer the illusion of the "I," of the ego, of this person. The question is: How can we approach this? If it is not through a technique, if it is not through a practice, how can we have an approach to this? This requires the presence of this learning about ourselves, learning about Self-awareness.

This is not a technique; it is not a practice; it is not something that someone does. It is something that is present here in an Attention on our reactions; then this Divine Presence shows itself present. In this Attention, which does not require technique, which does not require practice, which does not require effort,it is an error to place this Full Attention, this Mindfulness, as a practice or technique. Here we are facing a simple and direct looking at this instant-in this profound interest of looking at these reactions that take place internally and externally.

The presence of a thought can be observed; of a feeling also; of a sensation, of a perception. This is something that escapes us constantly, because we are always placing an identity in this. An identity when a thought appears-which is the thinker; an identity when something is being seen, we place the observer; an identity when a feeling is present, we place someone in this feeling. This is the model of conditioning; it is the way this conditioned mind-which is this instrument in us-is functioning.

Is it possible a contact with the moment without the "I," without someone? Contact with thought, with a feeling, with sensation, with perception, without someone involved in this? Then, the real approach to this learning about Self-Awareness is this Attention that brings us closer to the art of Being Real Consciousness, Divine Consciousness, which is Meditation.

Therefore, what is Meditation? Once again, it is not a technique; it is not a practice; it is not an exercise; it is not someone using a system-like a mantra or a breathing technique. All of this is something that is learned. We learn a system, a technique, and we make use of this system and technique. The truth about Meditation is the absence of someone involved with this awareness of Revelation.

Meditation is the comprehension of the meditator; it is the comprehension of the thinker; it is the comprehension of the observer. Comprehension shows us that there is no such thing as this element to separate itself from the present moment. Therefore, there is no such thing as an observer and the thing observed, as a thinker having thoughts, as someone here present having feelings or emotions. Let us approach the truth about this.

Now, here, for example, in this instant, there is only the listening. But the illusion within you tells you that you are someone who is listening. In truth, there is no separation between this listening and you. But you say: "I am listening." This "I" that is listening is an idea; it is a belief.

What we have been doing all the time in life is sustaining this duality, this separation-placing ourselves always, constantly, as the experiencer of the experience. And thus, we do not enter into contact with the moment, into contact with life, into contact with the now, with the instant, because we place an identity to this instant, to this moment, to this contact. What we have present is Life, without the "I," without this someone.

So, what is this Real encounter with God? What is this true Kundalini Awakening? We have several videos here on the channel deepening this, what is this real encounter with God, what is this real encounter with Kundalini. The words "God," "Kundalini"-these are words. There is a Reality present revealing itself here and now-in this encounter-but it is not someone having this encounter; it is this encounter revealing itself here. It is not you who goes to God; it is not you who awakens Kundalini.

The Reality of this Being, the Reality of God, the Reality of Kundalini is something that is present when the awareness of Life, when the Awareness of Truth reveals itself. We have already spoken here, and we have several videos here on the channel placing this question of Kundalini Awakening, of this "how to find God." All these subjects that we address here we place in playlists; we have dozens, hundreds of videos deepening all these themes. Thus, the Truth of this Revelation is the awareness of Love, of Happiness, of Freedom, of Comprehension of God, of the Truth about this Being, of the Truth about this Divine Reality, which is the Truth about ourselves.

Here, our online meetings on weekends are Saturday and Sunday. It is two days in an online format. I want to leave an invitation here for you. You have here, in the video description, our WhatsApp link to participate in the online meetings on weekends. Besides these meetings, we have in-person meetings and also retreats. If what you have just heard is something that makes some sense to you, then here is an invitation. Go ahead and leave your "like," subscribe to the channel and put a comment here: "Yes, this makes sense." Okay? And we will see each other. Thanks for the meeting and until next time!"

The Art of Spiritual Healing | What is Non-Duality? | Marcos Gualberto

GC: Hello everyone, we're here for another videocast. Once again, Master Gualberto is with us. Thank you, Master, for being here. Today I'm going to read an excerpt from a book by Joel Goldsmith called: "The Art of Spiritual Healing." In one passage of this book, Joel makes the following comment: "The Father is in me. I am in the Father. We are one in each other. This is the secret we know." In this passage, Joel talks about this Unity with God. Within this subject, can the Master share his vision on what Non-Duality is?

MG: Gilson, Life as it happens at this moment is within a single Reality. It is this Reality. It does not separate from this Reality. It is Reality, Life itself. And this Life is the Reality of this Being. This is Non-Duality. That which is You in your Being, Life, is Reality. However, we are moving in the world, moving as people, from the idea, the belief, the suggestion of separation. You see yourself as someone present in the world, separate from Life, separate from Reality. This is duality.

So, what is Non-Duality? It is the awareness of Life as it is. The main element here that sustains us within this program or illusion is the presence of thought, the model of conditioned thought. We have the belief and also the sense of separation. The result of this is confusion in life, it is confusion in the world, it is suffering within us.

Thought present in you deals with the past, with experiences that have already happened. And that is exactly how you feel life happening. Your perception of the world is the perception of a consciousness that sees itself trapped in the pattern of thought within time. We have a notion of life in time: the past, the present, and the future. This is how consciousness within us is aware of the world, is aware of life, has taken on the awareness of what we are. However, this is not Real.

It is the presence of thought that constructs time and that places us as an entity present in life, living experiences. Therefore, there is Life as it happens. Experiencing life is something present in the mind. But the mind has transformed all this experiencing into memories. Thus, the mind created this experiencer, this particular model of thought, which is psychological thought. So, notice how all this is processed. When you have a moment here, at this instant occurring, the mind, in this experiencing, transforms it into an experience when it registers that. And so there is the basis for this "I," which is the person, the experiencer. The result of this experience is memory.

Thus, we are living in memory and looking at the world from memory, which is thought. Thus, there is this separation between you and the world, you and life: you, being the experiencer, living experiences. This is how thought gives us the suggestion of life, shows us life. Therefore, there is no contact with Life as it is. It is contact with life from the interpretation that thought makes. This interpretation is the presence of the "I," the presence of the person. Therefore, there is this "I" and the "non-I." In the very existence of someone, we have the idea of ??the experiencer and their experience. This way we are in contact with the world around us, with the people around us, with everything that happens. This basis is mistaken.

Comprehending Life requires the awareness of this Being, the absence of the illusion of thought. I am referring to conditioned thought. Thought as a record has a space, a place-but only the technical, functional, practical place-and not the psychological one, as we have been doing. Here, for example, the use of speech is the use of a memory record, and therefore, of thought. The word is something functional, something technical. However, we do not remain with thought only at this level. Thought, within us, is at the service of an entity that sees itself as present. This entity is illusory. This entity is the "I."

When I meet you, I do not meet the Reality of this Being. I do not come across this real meaning of Life, which is Non-Dual. When I meet you, this encounter is the encounter of this "I" with the "non-I." This is the meeting between people: the person that thought says I am and the person that thought says you are. This is how our meetings are: in duality, in separation. In this separation, every form of conflict, disorder, and confusion is established. Because Life is Non-dual, while the mind is dualistic. The mind is living in this duality.

Is there a quality of mind for this experiencing without the experiencer? That is what we are investigating here with you. We need to become aware, in life, of this mind free from the "I," the mind free from the ego. This mind, in the "I," is the programmed mind, which repeats itself and maintains its continuity of existence or illusory life in separation. This quality of mind is the conditioned mind.

The true contact with the moment is the true contact with the Self. It is not someone having contact; it is the Presence of a state of communion, of the realization of Reality, where we no longer have the presence of separation. So, your response to the moment is not the response of thought, it is the response in line with Life.

At every moment we are living a new moment. Either we approach this moment from conditioned thought, from the "I," or this contact is contact with Reality, without the "I." And therefore, this contact is the Presence of communion, it is the Presence of this Divine Intelligence, of this real vision of Life.

So, what is Non-duality? It is this present Reality, without the "I," without the idea of ??someone present, being the thinker, being the experiencer. It means Life happening in an experiencing where we no longer have the presence of the past, which is the experiencer. Thus, there are no records. There is no need to record the moment. There is no need for the presence of thought to read the instant, what is happening here, or to record this moment. This is contact with Life, this is contact with Truth. Therefore, the Presence of Truth is Non-dual. This Truth is Divine Reality, it is the Reality of this Being.

Therefore, your question is: "What is Non-duality?" Approaching oneself is having a direct realization of this, and not a theoretical one. It is not something you can theorize about or have ideas about. It is something that is present here, being the only Reality, when the mind is no longer present. When the mind we know, within the model of the known, is no longer present.

GC: Master, within this subject, we have a comment with a question from a subscriber here on the channel. It is the following comment: "I understand the idea of ??Unity intellectually, but, in practice, my mind keeps creating separation. Why does the mind work this way?"

MG: Gilson, intellectual understanding is the theoretical approach, it's the approach of words, it's the approach of the logical basis. But that remains in the realm of ideas, still in the field of abstractions. Direct experience of this is fundamental. Here, you ask: "Why does memory work this way?" It's because it's the mechanics of memory. The brain registers; it's constantly making records, that's how it works.

How can we break this memory? We need technical memory, but we don't need psychological memory. So, that's the question: How to get rid of this psychological memory? The one that provides the basis for the ego's sustenance, for the sustenance of the "I"? When we bring attention to this instant, this moment, in contact with the instant, with the present moment, there is no record. It is only in inattention that the brain registers.

Notice how important this is: When you praise me, in inattention, there is a record; when you praise me, in this attention, when the praise happens, when the word is pronounced, there is no record. And why don't we register when there is this attention? It's because, when praise occurs in this Attention, there's no room for an entity, in its self-image, to take that praise for itself.

We are constantly inattentive-it's the presence of the "I," the presence of inattention. When we pay attention to our reactions, there is no "this one" that separates oneself from what is present there. Therefore, when you praise me in this Attention, there is no "me," there is no "I," there is no separation. And, if there is no separation, the brain doesn't register it. Therefore, real Attention to this instant becomes fundamental, a true and profound Attention to this moment, which requires the presence of a quality of Being, a quality of mind that doesn't register.

We are constantly, Gilson, placing an identity on the experience to live it, to be the experiencer of it. Here, the invitation is to bring Awareness, Presence to this instant; it is to bring Real Consciousness to this moment, it is to be conscious of each and every reaction. When there is this Attention, this reaction does not assume this model of registration, of memory.

Therefore, the true approach of Real Life, of Non-dual Life, is to become aware of these reactions, without being confused by them, without identifying with them, without getting lost in them. Identifying with them, getting lost in them, being confused with them-that is the quality of the inattentive mind.

When there is no Attention, this happens all the time. The basis for a vision free from the "I," free from the ego, is the presence of Self-awareness. This Self-awareness requires looking at this moment without the observer; it requires perceiving this instant without the perceiver; it requires the awareness of experiencing. Therefore, the mind needs to be silent, aware of its reactions. Then, there will be this Attention, this full Attention, this real Attention.

So, thought has its place-a place in this technical register-but we no longer have psychological thought, which gives foundation to this sense of "I," which underlies this sense of ego. This requires the presence of this gaze, this perception. Therefore, that which is Self-awareness is the basis for Meditation. We have to deepen this, comprehend this, have direct awareness of this-in this experiencing, without theories, without concepts. We don't need intellect here; we need the direct awareness of this Truth, which is the Truth of Meditation.

GC: Master, we have another question from another subscriber here on the channel, who made the following comment: "Master, how can I use self-observation to perceive my actions in everyday life?"

MG: Gilson, this self-observation is the presence of this gaze towards your reactions in this Attention. When we use expressions like "self-investigation" or "self-observation," we are talking about a state of Being, of a mind free from the experiencer, free from the thinker, free from the element that looks from the past, that perceives from conclusions and beliefs, evaluations and ideas.

So, what is this self-observation? It is the awareness of your reactions here, at this moment. Therefore, moment by moment, this direct look at all this movement of thought, feeling, sensation, without interfering with it, is the presence of this Attention. It is when you interfere with what you observe that the observer emerges; it is when you interfere with this feeling that someone emerges in this feeling.

Our actions, in general, are born from the model of thought, from this impulse, from this "I," which is the presence of intention-this is involvement. But, when you don't get involved, when there is no involvement, a new quality of feeling, also of thinking and acting, is present. There is no longer the presence of the "I," the presence of the ego. It is when contact with the moment is not from the past, not from memories and remembrances of the past. It is when contact with the moment is the contact of Life in life. That which is You is Life in your Being; the Presence of Life is the Reality of Being, and this is Divine Truth, it is the Truth of God.

Therefore, the direct work for this Flourishing of this Natural Non-dual State of Being is this gaze, this perception, it is the presence of this Attention to any and all reactions that arise in this moment. When we do get involved, this sense of this "me," this "I," this "we," this entity that sees itself present, is no longer there. Therefore, there is a single Presence, there is a single Reality. It is not your Reality nor my Reality; it is not our Reality. It is the Present Reality. In it, there is no separation between me and you, between us and them. All this idea of ??us, of them, of me and you, from the internal point of view, from the psychological point of view, is an illusion.

There are many things, there is a multiplicity of forms and names, objects and human beings. However, the only Reality present is Divine Reality, it is the Reality of Being. This real contact with the moment is Divine Reality. There is no one present for this contact. Therefore, we need a mind capable of perceiving, comprehending, of looking. This quality of mind is in Silence, in Freedom; it is outside the known, outside the movement of evaluation, comparison, judgment, acceptance, or rejection.

What gives us the basis for all this is this quality of observation. Therefore, the presence of self-observation is observation without the "I." It is simply observing, becoming aware, becoming conscious. It is when we discover the beauty of this Real State, which reveals this Natural State of Being, which is Meditation. This is what we are working on here. To look at this in a direct way is to become aware of the Truth of this Being, it is to become aware of Divine Truth, of the Truth of God. Okay?

GC: Gratitude, gratitude, Master. Our time is over. Thank you for another great videocast. And, for those of you who are watching the videocast to the end and truly wish to experience these Truths, we invite you to participate in the meetings that Master Gualberto provides. These meetings are much more impactful than these videos here on YouTube. First, because the Master answers our questions live. And second, and much more transformative, is that, because the Master already lives in this awakened state of Consciousness, he shares a field of Presence around him, a field of Energy, Power, and Grace.

And, in these meetings, we end up being carried by this field of Presence of the Master. And, by being carried by the Master, spontaneously, without any practice, without any technique, without any effort, we enter a meditative state, we silence our minds, we forget about any and all problems. So, the invitation is extended!

In the first pinned comment, there's a WhatsApp link so you can participate in these meetings. Also, please "like" the video, subscribe to the channel; and Master, once again, thank you for the videocast.

Wisdom Zone | How to find God? | Meditation: What Is It? | Learning about Self-Awareness

I've heard people use expressions like "wisdom area" or "wisdom zone." The idea is a limited space, still within a circumference, this space, area, or wisdom zone. Thus, the idea is one of limitation. The awareness of life is the comprehension of something limitless, not confined to an area or dimension. When we address the matter of Wisdom, we cannot confuse Wisdom with knowledge and experience.

For us, in general, the idea of ??wisdom is something acquired through knowledge and experience, from prolonged studies, being immersed in books, theses, theories, and concepts. The idea is that we can, in this way, approach the truth of Wisdom. Real Wisdom is not something that is learned, it is not something found in books, in knowledge, or in experience.

Wisdom is the vision of the moment, a vision that does not repeat itself, an inexplicable, indescribable comprehension. Therefore, it is something beyond limits, something that belongs to the Unknown. This is true Wisdom. We approach Wisdom, this true awareness of Truth, when we comprehend the Reality of this Being, the Truth about ourselves. This is what gives us the basis for the Reality of Being.

We must, first of all, have awareness of who we are, of what we are when we demonstrate, here, being someone, a person, interacting with others, interacting with life, interacting with ourselves, and this requires learning about Self-awareness, learning about ourselves. This is what brings us closer to a direct look at the Truth that is present here beyond the "I," beyond the mind, beyond individual consciousness.

Yes, because we see ourselves as someone, as a person. When we use the pronoun "I," we are referring to ourselves from the idea of ??a personal consciousness, an individual consciousness, and this is an illusion. The present Truth is the Reality of Life, and there is no "I" separate from life. This "I" within us is thought to establish an identity, based on a pronoun, on a feeling and sensation in the body.

This is how we have the foundation for this "I": a fiction created and sustained by thought-feeling, sensation, and emotion. When we investigate this, and this investigation requires this gaze at how the mind within us functions, when we investigate this, it becomes clear that there is no "I," there is only life happening. Therefore, the basis for Wisdom, for this indescribable dimension, for this dimension beyond dimensions, for this comprehension of that which is indescribable, which is beyond the known, which is the Presence of Truth, which is the Reality of Wisdom, this requires Self-awareness.

Comprehending oneself is comprehending the "I," it means comprehending the person. It is not the person being understood, it is not the "I" being comprehended, it is comprehension revealing itself. It reveals itself, and the clarity is that the person, the "I," does not exist; there is Life. Therefore, the basis for Wisdom is this vision; this vision is the presence of Meditation.

We never separate the art that reveals the Truth of God, which is Meditation, from a real approach to ourselves through Self-awareness, because there is no real separation between God and Life, between Life and this Being, which is you in your True Nature. And what gives us the basis for this vision, perception, comprehension, realization is Self-awareness.

It is the presence of Self-awareness that leads to the comprehension of Life as it happens, without the idea of ??someone to think about it, to have ideas about it, to evaluate, compare, judge, accept, or reject. And it is precisely because we are doing this that we are confused human beings, disoriented human beings, burdened with stress, fears, desires, conflicts, contradictions, and problems.

There are countless psychic sufferings and emotional disorders present in the human psyche, because we are living in the mind, an inadequate instrument for perceiving the Reality of Life. The point is that the only instrument we have is this, the mind is this instrument, but it is a limited instrument, and we are trying to approach Life from the model of this mind, this consciousness, which is the consciousness of the "I."

Working towards Truth is the awareness of its Revelation here and now, present. You will not move to this place called Truth. Here, the expression "how to have this encounter," here the expression "God," here the expression "Truth," these expressions point to what is here, at this instant, present at this moment, being the only Reality of Life, in life, being Life itself.

Therefore, "How to find God?" When we have questions like these, they sound like: "How to attain Wisdom?" The idea behind these questions is a process, something to be done, something to be accomplished, something to be obtained, achieved, step by step. Thus, we introduce the concept of time, the idea of ??progress, evolution, growth, step by step, and that is false, because there is no time here. The awareness of Truth reveals itself now, in itself, by itself.

There is no step-by-step process for the awareness of Awakening of Consciousness, Spiritual Enlightenment, or this vision of Wisdom. Therefore, the presence of Meditation... What is Meditation? The presence of Meditation is the Revelation of this instant, this moment, here and now, without the past. It is in this sense that we have used expressions like "Self-awareness" here.

The Revelation of That which is present here, when the "I" is not, is the basis, the Truth for the Flourishing of this Natural State of Being, which is Wisdom. Therefore, how to find God? By discovering what it means to be still, to be silent, to observe, to verify, to perceive. When we are in the present moment, when we abandon the idea of ??becoming, when we abandon the idea of ??someone who is present here because they came from the past and now need to go to the future, for the first time we encounter the real investigation of the nature of the "I".

Therefore, encountering Divine Reality, having this encounter with God, means God revealing Himself when the "I" is not present, when illusion is dispelled, when ignorance disappears. I am referring to this illusion, this ignorance of someone present for Wisdom, for the encounter with God; of someone present to love, someone present to be happy, someone present to have peace. The Reality of Life, at this moment, is Love, Peace, Freedom, Bliss.

Therefore, what is Meditation? It is the awareness of the art of Being. This is the encounter with Truth, this is the encounter with Wisdom. Therefore, the true Wisdom Zone is something timeless, indescribable, unnameable, outside of time; it is a space without this "I," without this "person," it is a space free from this center. When Divine Reality is present, Wisdom is present, and there is no "someone" in it; the person does not exist, this "me" having an experience does not exist.

This is another important point here. Generally, when we talk about an encounter with God, the idea is of an experience, but an experience requires the presence of an experiencer. The experiencer is the one who recognizes the experience because they have already lived the experience, or recognizes the experience because they have an image of what the experience represents, and this is basically the past, it is basically thought.

Real contact with Reality is the presence of the experiencer, but this experiencer does not exist. Therefore, the whole idea of ??an experience requires the presence of an experiencer who recognizes what they are experiencing. Here, it is not like that. Your real encounter with God is the Revelation that God is the Truth in this encounter, and that, as this "person," this "me," this "I," illusion is no longer present. This is the Truth about you, and not this "I," this "me," this someone, when the encounter is present. In this encounter, there is the experiencing.

It is not something you register and take with you, it is something that is present here when you, as the person, are no longer present; It is something present when that "I," as the instrument in this mind that records, is no longer present. There is no separation between that "I," the mind, and that person; and it is not present when that which is present here is beyond the known.

So, yes, it is possible, in this life, the awareness of Life, without the "I," without the experiencer, without that limited area of ??the perceiver, the thinker; that is the real contact with the present moment, that is the real contact with the Divine. Here, in life, to assume this Reality is Bliss, Love, Happiness. Here, in life, to assume the Reality of this instant, without someone present, is the Beauty of Being, is the awareness of God.

Therefore, all that we truly need in life is the awareness of Life. It is not someone having awareness, it is not the person having awareness, it is not this "you," as thought imagines you are or should become, that you need. All you truly need is the awareness of Being, which, in reality, is You. There is no separation between Life, God, and that Self that is You. That is Wisdom. This is a new and unknown dimension of Presence, Freedom, Bliss, Happiness, Completeness, Peace, Love.

That's what we're here working on with you. Our online meetings take place on weekends, where we're together Saturday and Sunday, two days online. I want to extend this invitation to you; it's an opportunity to be together. You'll find our WhatsApp link in the video description to participate in the weekend online meetings. Besides these meetings, we also have in-person meetings and retreats. If this makes sense to you, consider this an invitation. Like the video, subscribe to the channel, and comment: "Yes, this makes sense." Okay? See you soon. Thanks for the meeting, and until next time!

How to find God? Meditation: what is it? Learning about Self-Awareness. True Wisdom.

If the subject here is Wisdom, the true Wisdom, it requires the presence of Intelligence. In general, we do not know what Real Intelligence means. For us, intelligence is ability, it is technique, it is capacity. In general, we attribute to this expression the presence of knowledge and experience, but the expression "Intelligence," it seems to me that, is the vision of Life, it is the awareness of Life. This is not something intellectual; it is not something that one understands based on logic, on deductions, or conclusions.

The presence of comprehension is the vision of Life in Intelligence. When we have true Intelligence, we have Real Wisdom. Thus, true Wisdom is Real Intelligence, and when it is present, there is no more illusion. It is not a matter of technical knowledge, of specialization-this we acquire through experiences. The presence of knowledge and experience gives you specialization, but this does not give you Intelligence.

Real Intelligence in dealing with yourself, in dealing with the other, in dealing with life-this is the presence of Real Intelligence, it is the presence of Wisdom, this is true Intelligence. Here, together, we are approaching this encounter with the Truth of this Revelation of Divine Awareness, which is the Awareness of Life and, therefore, of true Wisdom. We cannot have an encounter with Truth in the intellect, through the intellect.

This intellect in us is something that has a formation of knowledge and experience and, therefore, of conditioning. We are living within a conditioned intellect. We have ready-made answers to questions; the presence of these answers that are already ready for the questions that are asked-these answers are born from this foundation of knowledge and experience; this is conditioning. We cannot attend to life from ready-made answers. Perceive the difference.

You can be someone very skilled, capable of giving answers, because you have learned, you have the knowledge and experience. However, when we are dealing with life, there are no ready-made answers-for the simple fact that life is something here and now, at this moment, happening. Life carries this dynamism-always something new appearing at each instant. There is no way to respond to the new from the past, which are the ready-made answers.

Observe the importance of that. We're going to study this here, and this is what we have done at each meeting that we have here on the channel, in these videos, in the online meetings, in the in-person meetings. There is no way for you to attend to him or her, to the world around you; there is no way for you to attend to yourself from the past, from knowledge and experience, from thought.

Thought is this symbol, it is this representation of memory, of knowledge and experience, of all these records that we have. That's how our ready-made answers are like, to questions that we know. Therefore, your ability to deal with the other does not exist in the intellect, in knowledge and experience; your ability to deal with the other requires the presence of Wisdom, and we do not have that. Our relationships, our human relationships-all of them are founded on ready-made answers.

Your name and all the remembrance I have about you is the past in me; it is the recollection in me. This "me" and this recollection, this "I" that I am and this remembrance about you-it is something within a conditioning. This is part of the structure of the "I." All of this is present here by reason of the presence of memory, which is thought; and thought is incapable of dealing with the other with Intelligence, with Real Intelligence, with true Wisdom. It explains all the confusion present in our lives, within human relationships, the relationship with ourselves and the relationship with events. We lack the awareness of Life, the presence of Meditation.

Therefore, what is Meditation? Meditation-what is it? It is the awareness of the moment revealing itself and being seen without the past, without the "I," without this person. This is the presence of Intelligence, this is the presence of Truth. Therefore, what do we need to have this awareness of Life? What do we need for the Truth of Wisdom, for true Wisdom? That which we actually need is the presence of Self-awareness.

Learning about Self-awareness is to discover what it is to learn about ourselves. Notice-it is not to have self-knowledge. Self-awareness is not something that you obtain, that you conquer, possess-it is important to say this here. If someone tells you about a course on self-knowledge, look at this closely. The other cannot teach you about yourself; it is you who have to become aware of the Truth about yourself. No one can teach you Self-awareness. Therefore, question all of this; question yourself; question your conclusions, your beliefs; question everything that they are teaching you.

The great Revelation of Life consists in self-discovery, in a self-revelation. No one can give you something like this. This is not learned as we learn languages or engineering, or mechanics, or physics, or chemistry. All of this we learn through knowledge and experience, but the truth of the approach to Wisdom requires this learning about Self-awareness-learning what it is to learn about yourself, and this learning is born from this look, from this observing, from this perceiving. No one can give you this look, this perceiving, this studying of yourself. This is what we are working on here with you.

Therefore, how do we learn about Self-awareness? By becoming aware of your reactions, studying yourself at each instant, at each moment, discovering envy, jealousy, fear, anger, worries-discovering about your motives, reasons, discovering how thought happens, the sensation or the feeling there, the awareness of your own mind and your heart, of how the brain processes all of that.

Therefore, you do not go to books; you do not go to a verbal approach, of words, studying concepts. It is not a subject for psychology in its theory, for philosophy with its words, for theology with its beliefs; it is something that requires that you look, observe, listen to yourself. Discover that there is no one there to do this. It is the presence of observing, of listening, of perceiving-without someone there-that gives you the awareness of Life without the illusion of an entity that separates itself, that separates itself from thoughts, that separates itself from emotions or sensations, or that separates itself from experiences.

The real approach to Meditation... What is Meditation? It is this approach to the moment-without the "I." Therefore, it opens up the comprehension of Life for you; this comprehension is this encounter with God. How to find God? Life as it happens here and now-if there is no longer the illusion of thought from the idea of someone being the thinker; if there is no longer the illusion of someone being the observer-the element that separates itself and looks at life from its conclusions, beliefs, choices-if we no longer have the presence of the thinker, the presence of the observer, the presence of someone who, upon encountering the present moment, sees themselves as the experiencer of that moment-when this is not present, the verification of Life as it happens is the awareness of the Reality of this encounter with God.

Therefore, how to find God? By becoming aware that Life at this instant-in it there is no one to separate itself from it. You do not go to this encounter; this encounter reveals itself to you-eliminating the illusion of this "I." This encounter reveals itself to you, showing you that you are this Reality present when the "ego" is not. If the "I" is not present, there is no longer the illusion of separation.

Therefore, the presence of true Wisdom consists in the vision of this moment as it is. However, this is something impossible as long as the movement of an element that makes itself present from the past-which is the observer-shows itself present. If it shows itself present-arriving from the past with its beliefs, choices, ideas, opinions, acceptances and rejections-what we have present is the continuity of this old mental conditioning, of this old egoic consciousness. This is how we are living our days.

This is why we need to learn about ourselves, and this learning is this look that no longer reinforces this observer. Therefore, to approach life is to have a clear vision-without the disfigurement of thought-of what is here and now happening. It is that all our inclination is-by pattern of behavior, by conditioning of this mind-something that we have been repeating for a long time-to resist life as it happens, is to look at life from an idea, which is this observer. Then, we do not stay with Life as it is; we have conclusions about it, beliefs about it, opinions about it. This is the absence of Intelligence.

So, although you are a scientist, a chemist, an engineer-although you are a philosopher or a theologian-but every intellectual form of approach to life will always be limited by this pattern, which is the pattern of conditioned thought, of the conditioned mind, which is the presence of this "I," of this "ego," of this observer. The Real Revelation of Life is in this contact with life without the "I," without the "ego," without the past. This is the Divine Truth, true Wisdom. It is not someone being wise; it is Wisdom present-when the "I" is no longer present. This is the Nature of your Being; this is the Truth about Life; this is the Reality of God.

You were born for the awareness that the "I" does not exist, that this sense of separation between life as it happens and you-is not real. So, this appearance, which we call birth, in this body and mind-it is life; it is the very presence of Life in its expression-without any separation between this Reality present and Life as it happens. This is Wisdom; this is Being. Being is Wisdom; Being is Love; Being is Happiness. Therefore, this encounter with God, the presence of Meditation, this learning about ourselves-reveals That which is present here, beyond the known, beyond the "I."

This is what we are here, with you, investigating at each meeting. We have online meetings on weekends, where we are together on Saturdays and Sundays. It is two days in an online format deepening this here with you. You have here, in the video description, our WhatsApp link to participate in these online meetings on weekends. Besides, we have in-person meetings and also retreats. If what you have just heard is something that makes any sense to you, then here is an invitation. Go ahead and leave your "like," subscribe to the channel and put a comment here: "Yes, it makes sense." Okay? And we will see each other. Thanks for the meeting and see you next time!"

Joel Goldsmith | Realization of Oneness | What is the conditioned mind? | Marcos Gualberto

GC: Hello everyone. We're here for another videocast. Once again, Master Gualberto is with us. Thank you, Master, for being here. Today, I'm going to read an excerpt from a book by Joel Goldsmith called "Realization of Oneness." In one passage of this book, Master, Joel makes the following comment: "The error is not in the external. The power is not in the external. All the power is in the still, small voice." Master, in this passage, Joel comments that the power is not external. Within this subject, Master, can you share your vision on what the conditioned mind is?

MG: Gilson, the idea present in you, the present conclusion, the concept, the belief, the opinion, this or that thought model about this or that given subject: that is the presence of conditioning. This conditioning movement is what we call "mind." Therefore, what is the conditioned mind? This is the model of existing as someone who evaluates, compares, judges, accepts, rejects, has conclusions, opinions, beliefs...

We were educated for a model of existing as someone like that, in this personal consciousness, in this egoic mind, in this conditioned mind. Investigating the nature of the "I," the truth about the person, the existence of that someone, that feeling, thought, of that which "I" believe myself to be, is investigating the truth about the conditioned mind.

Direct comprehension requires this self-study for the end of this internal psychological condition of egoic existence, of personal existence. That is what we are looking at here with you, in all these videos, also in the online meetings, also in the face-to-face meetings.

The Reality about You is the Truth about Life. We have two aspects here: the first is the Truth about who I am; the second is the truth of reality about this "me," about this that "I am." In life, we must have this real comprehension, the comprehension of this truth that "I am," which is basically formed of ideas, beliefs, and conclusions about who "I am," and the direct comprehension of the Reality of this Being, which is present here, being the Truth about each of us.

Thus, we must investigate the truth about this "me" and assume the Reality of this Being. When this is assumed, Life is no longer the life we ??know, where we are living within the guidelines of thought, in this conditioned mind, in this egoic mind.

When someone badmouths you, it irritates you; when someone rejects your opinions, it annoys you. When someone contradicts one of your desires, it makes you angry. When something you don't expect, don't wish, don't want to happen to you, appears on the screen of your mind as a thought, it scares you, frightens you, causes you fear.

Note that this is how we function, this is how we are functioning, because we are living life in this truth of what "I am," because "I believe I am," "I am convinced that I am this, that this is the truth about me." These are the conclusions that "I" have, these self-assessments that I "make." This involves the presence of a mental picture, a drawing, constructed by thought about "me." Self-image is the image that thought has established here about the person that "I am."

When we look closely, investigate, and approach the full awareness of this entire process, it is undone, due to the presence of this Self-awareness, due to the presence of this self-observation. This discards the continuity of this identity, the permanence of this identity, this identity that is "I." Its permanence is sustained by a quality of time through thought. You have absolute certainty about the person you are, because of the name you have and the story you can remember about yourself. But look closely at this and you will see that you are only dealing with abstraction: The image that thought has constructed about you with a name that has been given to you. What is the Truth about you? By becoming aware of what you see in yourself as being true, you can go beyond this condition, since this condition is the condition of a psychological structure, established in you in thought, by thought.

The Reality of this Being is not a thought. That which is present here, being the very Reality of Life, the Reality about God, is the Nature of this Being. But we have been given this way of feeling and thinking and also acting upon life. And we trust in it, we believe in it. The element of trust is thought itself. The element responsible for belief is thought itself.

This is how we are living. This is our mental conditioning. This is the presence of the conditioned mind. The great revelation consists in this great discovery that there is no such "I," this "me," this person. It is the very presence of this egoic consciousness, of this conditioned mind. It's a quality of life in that particular life of the person who is sleeping, unconscious.

Observe the basis of what we are saying here. What is the basis? The basis is a psychological condition within us, unconscious. You are not conscious of your thoughts, nor feelings, nor emotions. This quality of feeling and thinking is not the presence of real awareness about it. It is a programmed form of response, mechanical, automatic, repetitive, continuous, and, therefore, unconscious. When someone annoys you, you don't know why you are in that state. The thought within you justifies the state, saying that someone created it, produced it in you. But what is the truth about that? In fact, they hurt that self-image you have of yourself. This injury and this response are unconscious, they are mechanical.

When we bring awareness to this moment, we release from ourselves this self-image to be sad, angry, worried. to suffer. The presence of depression, anguish, these various states of psychological suffering within us is the classic representation of this unconsciousness in which we are living.

When we embrace the Reality of What we are, there is something present beyond this condition, beyond this unconsciousness: it is the Reality outside the mind, outside this conditioned mind, outside this egoic mind. This is what we are dedicating ourselves, working on, for this Comprehension, this Vision, this Liberation, in this life. Comprehending ourselves is necessary for a real contact with that which is eternal, outside the known, outside time, outside the mind.

GC: Master, we have a question from a subscriber here on the channel who made the following comment: "Is it possible to Awaken without practicing traditional meditation, only with the information from this channel?"

MG: Gilson, this Awakening does not arise from information, just as this Flourishing of this Natural State of Being does not arise from meditation practices. The one who practices meditation is the element that is trapped in a model, a program, a form of technique or system or practice, which is, in fact, still a conditioning. The practice of meditation is a program, a technique, a conditioning.

The real work toward this Flourishing, this Natural State of Being, requires the presence of a direct gaze at our reactions, a direct perception of our reactions. This is what gives you clarity about this principle of duality, where the one who reacts and that reaction are within a basis of duality. And Liberation is the end of duality.

If you have a thought and you get confused with it, you identify with it-whether you like it or dislike it, whether you accept it or reject it-the element present in that, in that accepting or rejecting, liking or disliking, that element is the element that separates itself from thought itself. Thus, we are within duality. That is how we are living.

The presence of this realization, this observation, this gaze at this condition is the real experience of comprehension of Meditation. See, it's not the practice of meditation; it's Meditation in a real way. Meditation in a real way is meditation in practice, here, now, in living, at each moment, at each instant.

The awareness of your reactions is possible when you become aware of the very movement of thought, which requires the mind to be silent, for a new space to emerge for this observation. It is not something mechanical, it is not a technique, it is not a practice. It is the awareness for this instant, it is an observation of our reactions, of what is present here, without interfering with these reactions.

When do we interfere? When we give identity to these reactions. When we put this thinker, this experiencer, when we put this observer who draws ideas, conclusions, evaluations about it. By having ideas, by drawing conclusions, by making evaluations, the sense of identity is constantly reinforced. This is how we have lived, this is how we are living.

Therefore, it is not about acquiring knowledge. Here, we are talking about direct work in that direction, work that is possible when there is the fundamental element guiding all of this work, which is the Divine Presence itself, which is the Presence of Grace.

Gilson, this is another confusion for many of us: the idea that someone will achieve This, accomplish This. It is not something to be achieved or accomplished in time, it is a Reality to be perceived here and now, at this instant. That is the first point. The second point is that there is no one to accomplish This. It is an action of Divine Grace itself, the very work of God, the very work of Truth.

Here, your disposition is to engage with the work, but all this work is the Realization of this Grace, including this readiness for engagement. You are only here now investigating this, looking at this, because of this touch. Only God approaches God. Only Truth reveals itself to Truth. There is no "I," no ego, no person to accomplish This.

Therefore, we are inviting you to approach this work. It is what we have in online meetings, we have in face-to-face meetings: an approach. And the work is of Grace, and the work is of God.

GC: Master, we have another question from another subscriber here on the channel, who made the following comment: "Master, how to stop repeating patterns inherited from parents?"

Notice that it is a good question. How to stop these old patterns? These old patterns of our ancestors, of our forebears, are the patterns of humanity, of human history. We are continuing this format, this way, this model, this old pattern of continuity of reactions. We are doing this because of inattention. We are not paying attention to this whole process of continuity, repetition, and mechanicalness.

The main element in all of this is the presence of unconsciousness. It is interesting that we use the expressions "conscious" and "unconscious." We speak of a conscious mind and an unconscious mind. And we use these expressions as if, in fact, we were conscious in the mind, as if this mind within us were a mind in full consciousness.

The fact is that all this internal movement that we call mind or consciousness is processed in a mechanical, automatic, repetitive, conditioned, and therefore unconscious way. The way you react, how you respond, how you express these reactions is in this automatism, in this continuity, in this old program of unconsciousness. That is how we are functioning. This is the presence of the "I," the presence of the ego, this sense of being someone who is conscious... Of what, in fact, as people, are we conscious, if all we do is respond in an automatic way?

When you speak well of "me," I like you. When you speak poorly of "me," I don't like you. This feeling of liking and disliking is just the result of a response reaction to how you treat me, to how "I" can react at this moment, based on this automatism. This whole process is entirely unconscious and mechanical. The way I respond to the challenge, the way you also challenge me, is something unconscious and mechanical.

We are constantly dealing with the present moment from the past and therefore from a background of memory. And all this memory, as being past, is something that is part of a conditioning. And all conditioning is unconscious. There is no freedom in conditioning. It is mechanical and unconscious. This is the consciousness of the "I," this is the consciousness of the person.

Thus, our mind, which we divide into conscious and unconscious, is automatic. It is pure egoic conditioning. And why egoic? Because the mind sees itself as the center of experiences, being the experiencer of experiences. Our movement, in this egoic mind, is isolationist, separatist, and therefore egocentric.

Can we break with that? That is the purpose. Can we go beyond this internal psychological condition of life, which is life centered on the "I," centered on the ego? This naturally requires the end of these patterns that we receive from this culture, from this social structure, from this psychological model of human existence. That is what we are working on here with you. Therefore, if your question is "How to stop these patterns?", the answer to that is: by becoming aware.

When there is this learning about ourselves, when all this movement becomes clear, which is the movement of the "I," of the ego, we place at that moment the presence of an attention that brings awareness to these reactions, then we immediately stop this unconsciousness, this automatism, this old program model. We stop responding, reacting, interacting from duality, from separation. This naturally requires an investigation of this entire process. This requires studying ourselves.

We need to become aware, Gilson, in this life, of the beauty of the art of Meditation, which requires the presence of this study of ourselves, this comprehension of this entire internal process, of this entire process of this consciousness, which is egoic consciousness, which is this conditioned mind. In these online meetings, in these in-person meetings, that is the purpose.

GC: Ok. Gratitude, gratitude, Master. Our time is over. Gratitude for this videocast. And for you who are watching the videocast to the end and truly wish to live these truths, you are invited to participate in the intensive weekend meetings that Master Gualberto provides.

These meetings are much deeper than the videos here on YouTube. First, because the Master answers our questions live. And secondly, and much more impactful, is that, because the Master already lives in this Awakened State of Consciousness, he shares a Field of Presence around him, a Field of Energy, Power, and Grace.

And in these meetings, we end up being carried by Master's Field of Presence. And by "being carried" by the Master, spontaneously, without any practice, without any technique, we enter a meditative state, silence our minds, and can have a glimpse, a comprehension of the truths that are discussed here on the channel. So, the invitation is extended!

In the first pinned comment, there is a WhatsApp link to participate in these meetings. Also, "like" the video and subscribe to the channel.

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