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

"It is quite a simple fact, the fact that life, for most of us, consists of problems, in such a way that amidst confusions and various forms of suffering, which are these problems, we are in search of a solution. Thus, as life consists of problems, we want to solve these problems. And what we have as the first expedient for the solution of the problems we have, is the idea of seeking help from knowledge and experience.

We know that when we have a technical problem of some kind in our lives, we seek, in knowledge, the solution to that problem. If I have a problem with the car, I go in search of a mechanic, or help from technical knowledge for the solution of that problem, because I know nothing about this, I do not know automobile mechanics. If I have an electronics problem, I also look for a technician, a specialist in that area.

Here, when we face internal, psychological problems, emotional, sentimental disorders, we also go in search of help. In general, we can be helped, but afterward we need other appointments. Therefore, the search for this support to deal with the problems we have in life is something very common.

Here we want to investigate with you the non-necessity of knowledge, since knowledge can give us this support to solve technical matters which, naturally, may happen again, and psychological matters. Then we find ourselves, temporarily, with relief or a temporary liberation from this condition or that other condition. But here, with you, we are investigating the truth about the "I," about the "ego."

Here we investigate the possibility of a Life free of both technical knowledge and psychological experience to deal with problems within each one of us. All technical support or all psychological support may be helpful, but they do not resolve the issue of the "ego," the issue of the "I."

Only the comprehension of the Truth, the Awareness of the Realization of That which You essentially are, represents the end to all problems and, therefore, to the various confusions and sufferings that we know, that we have. Therefore, we are, with you, exploring the issue of the encounter with Wisdom. It is different from the encounter with knowledge and with experience.

There is a difference between the presence of Wisdom and the presence of knowledge. Knowledge is something that is acquired, just like experience. The presence of knowledge and experience is the presence of memory, and it gives us a formation of conditioned action, of action standardized by knowing, by knowledge. We are always within a limitation when we are dealing with knowledge and experience, whereas the Awareness of Truth is the presence of Wisdom.

Truth is something definitive, it is an encounter with the New, it is the presence of the Unknown. You were not born simply to acquire knowledge and experience. This appearance in this dream called "life" is for the Flowering or the Awakening of Wisdom, for this true encounter with Truth. It is the comprehension of Truth, it is the Awareness of Truth that, in fact, confers Life upon us.

True Life is the Divine Life, it is the Life of this Being. There are no problems there, there is no confusion and suffering. You were born for Bliss, you were born for Happiness, and here we are, with you, in each of these meetings, insisting on this, on the Truth of That which we are when illusion is no longer present.

Thus, what we need is Truth, which is the presence of Divine Wisdom, of God's Wisdom. This is the presence of Spiritual Wisdom. When you deal with life, this "dealing with life" of yours either occurs from knowledge and experience, from this model of psychological experience and from the model of technical knowledge, or this "dealing with life" is in line with Life. In line with Life, in the flowing with Life, the presence of Wisdom is present, which is not the presence of knowledge nor of experience, but is the vision of the Unknown.

The Unknown is this Reality present beyond the mind, since the presence of knowledge and experience is the presence of memory, it is the presence of conditioning. Here we emphasize with you, study this: the possibility of a mind free from the past and, therefore, from memory, from knowledge and experience; the mind capable of meeting the present moment without the illusion of an identity that sees itself as present separating itself from Life, which is the "I," the "ego."

This clear vision is the Truth of Wisdom, of Spiritual Wisdom. It is something present when there is true Awareness of God in this encounter with the Unknown. In the question "how to find God," the confusion for people is the idea that they need, through knowledge, by reading books and studying, listening to talks and acquiring more information, more concepts and theories about this, and that they will find God.

Thus, for people, the idea consists of seeking knowledge or going through experiences. Life, for most of us, is tedious, complicated, and quite repetitive, something that places us in internal conditions of constant dissatisfaction, pain, and problems. So, we idealize some level of experience, where at this new level we can, there in that experience, enrich ourselves with God, with something outside the known.

But here we tell you that the presence of Reality, of Truth, yes, is the presence of the Unknown, of That which is outside the ego's pattern, the mind's pattern, the pattern of this life as we know it, but this is not an experience. You do not have an encounter with God in the future, He is not a Reality in the future. This idea of Him in the future is a belief present, it is part of the conditioning that the mind has, because we learned this, we acquired this, it is part of a so-called spiritual information, from sacred books, from talks we've listened to.

We situate God in time and ourselves here, as someone present; that someone is the person that we are, that thought tells us we are. Thus, we are in time and God is in time, because if He can be found, He needs to be found by someone, and He will be found later; it is not a present Reality, it is something that is there, somewhere, to be found.

Thus, the idea of having an encounter with God in the future is on a false basis, because we are putting here the presence of time. God cannot be a Reality in time. Note how this is very basic. The presence of time presupposes that which is inside time. The Divine Reality is outside time. That which is inside time is in the limitation of time. The presence of time and the notion of space is something present in us by the reason of the presence of thought.

We have the distance between one object and another, we have the space to travel from one point to another, so we have physical space and chronological time in this dream of existence, of manifestation, of universe, of world. However, psychologically, the whole idea of time and space is inside thought.

Thought is the author of time, it is the author of space. Therefore, what is thought? We are dealing with an image, with a mental formulation; when we speak of thought, we are dealing with memory. When is it that you have a thought? It is when you have a recollection that is a memory. Without memory, without recollection, there is no thought. This thought is an image; an image in time, an image in space.

The Reality of the encounter with God is the acknowledgement of That which is present here, but beyond time. Here, it is about something that is here, but which is not part of the known and, therefore, thought cannot recognize it, because it is not part of memory. You were born for the acknowledgement of Reality, of Truth, of Life, of God, the Nature of this Being, which is you when the illusion of the person, of this "me," of this "I" is not present.

Your question is: "How does it become possible?" It becomes possible when we learn the art of Meditation, which is to approach this instant without the old model of thought, of this mind that we know, which is the mind that lives in the programming of knowledge and experience, of the mind that is living with confusion, with problems, with suffering. It is the mind of the "I," it is the mind of the "ego."

There is a Reality present here, and it is acknowledged when we approach this look at the present moment, without the "I," without the "ego." Without the meditator, the reality of Meditation becomes clear. Meditation is to be in the present moment in this Being, without the sense of the "I." This is what shows itself here and now when we have the presence of Self-awareness.

Our emphasis here consists in learning how the mind works, how we are functioning. In this learning about Self-awareness, the Reality, the Truth of the Unknown becomes clear. And when we have the Reality of the Unknown, of That which is present here, beyond the "I," then we have the presence of Spiritual Wisdom.

Therefore, it is not knowledge and experience that we need to resolve human problems, to resolve our problems, but rather the presence of Divine Wisdom; it is Divine Wisdom that is born from Self-awareness and reveals the Truth of this encounter with God. There is no separation between You, Life, and God in this encounter.

It is what we are here, with you, emphasizing, working on, becoming aware: an approach to the moment without the presence of the thinker, which is the presence of thought. This quality of thinking we know, this quality of action we know, this way of positioning ourselves in life as an entity that separates itself from life that we know, all this is part of the known.

Your Natural Divine State is the Truth of this Being, which is the presence of the new, which is the presence of the unknown, which is the presence of God. It is what we are here, with you, working on, looking at closely. We need to assume the Reality of That which we are, having the direct comprehension of the Truth we bear.

When the mind is free from the past, this shows itself as being the only Reality, the only Truth, the Truth of people, the Truth of the world, the Truth of all situations, because all this idea of people we previously carried in us is no longer present. There are no people out there, there is no person here; there is a Reality present and it is Life happening beyond thought. This is the Supreme Bliss, this is the Awareness of Meditation, of the true encounter with God. There is no one present; it is God in expression, it is Love present, it is Happiness present.

It is what we are here, with you, working on. We have online meetings on weekends where we are with you on Saturdays and Sundays. It is two days in an online format. You have here, in the video description, our link to participate in these online meetings. Besides, 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 leave 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 | The Foundation of Mysticism | What is the conditioned mind? | Marcos Gualberto

GC: Hello, everyone! We're here for another videocast, Master Gualberto is here with us again. Thank you, Master, for your presence. Today I'm going to read an excerpt from a book by Joel Goldsmith called "The Foundation of Mysticism." In one excerpt from this book, Master, Joel makes the following comment: "The spiritual life is yielding to the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God is a renunciation of desires." In this excerpt, Joel comments on the renunciation of desires. Regarding this topic, Master, can you share your perspective on the conditioned mind?

MG: Gilson, what is the instrument within us of perception, understanding, and comprehension? Isn't it the presence of what we call the "mind"? Isn't the mind within us the instrument that perceives, understands, and comprehends? Now, what is this comprehension? What do we really have as comprehension, or understanding, or perception of life? Is it true that the way you look at life, describes, reports, and faithfully portrays what life means, what life represents? Our model of consciousness, which we call the "conscious and unconscious mind," is the presence of this instrument, which looks from a background it brings, from a condition in which, as an instrument, it finds itself.

And what is this condition? What do you know about life? What do we know about life? What do we know about others? What do we know about ourselves? Isn't it a set of ideas? When we collect or gather together a huge number of thoughts, concepts, beliefs, we have the presence of an idea. A set of ideas is what we, in the mind, in this background, have about life, about others, and about ourselves. And all this content is basically, within us, memory, remembrance. It is the presence of experiences recorded within us, it is the presence of thought.

So, what is this conditioned mind? It's the presence of an instrument incapable of dealing with the reality of life as it is, because all this instrument has is the past, memory, and remembrances. We have life here, the reality of life in expression, but we also have the presence of thought about it. The thought about this is the conditioned mind. We're not dealing with life; we're projecting an ideal of life, a thought about life. That's how we function. You see the world from your conclusions, evaluations, and beliefs... You see the world from a political, philosophical, or religious perspective, from a family tradition, from the history of the country where you were born. This is conditioning!

What we are here, discussing with you, investigating with you, is the possibility of abandoning this, of freeing ourselves from this conditioning, from the conditioned mind, from the conditioned, programmed thought pattern, because it is preventing us from a true relation with life. The true relation with life is not the relation of someone, it is not the relation of this "I," this person, this mind. The conditioned mind is synonymous with a person programmed to think, to feel, to act in life based on this program, this background. Breaking with this is the emergence of what is present here beyond this situation, this condition. And yet, what is present remains unknown.

Contact with reality is the end of the illusion of what we comprehend, understand, and judge to be real. What we understand, comprehend, and judge to be real in life is based on this old structure, which is the structure of the conditioned mind; it is not reality. Contact with reality is contact with the Unknown. The presence of the Unknown is the presence of this Being, this Divine Reality. Reality is present, but it remains outside the mind. How can we access this? By becoming aware of the Unknown, abandoning the illusion of interpreting life, of judgment, of comparison, of evaluating life based on the past, based on thought. That is the answer!

We need a new brain, a free mind, a perception without the past. Our form of perception is not real, it is the perception of a perceiver; this perceiver within us is the person we are. And what is this person we are? This set of ideas! All conclusions, beliefs, judgments, concepts, opinions. That's always something personal in this conditioned brain, this conditioned mind. It is the pattern of thought that looks from the thinker's perspective. The eyes that see life are the eyes of this observer-this observer is the "I"!

The acknowledgment of reality is Reality assuming this space. There is no separation between the reality present and the Truth of Being, therefore we no longer have the eyes of the observer, the gaze of the observer, we no longer have the perception of the perceiver; it is the presence of Divine Reality in the acknowledgment of life, in the awareness of Being. Comprehending this, perceiving this, assuming this, is not something for "someone"; it is something possible when the Reality of this Being, which is Divine Truth, shows itself present. It requires the end of the illusion of the conditioned mind, of the way we are feeling, acting, thinking, and acting in life.

The old way of acting here, of thinking here, always follows the same principle of this consciousness common to all, which is egoic consciousness, which is human consciousness. To let go of that is to go beyond this condition. Truth is present when illusion is no longer there, the Divine is present when this idea of ??someone seeing oneself as separate, seeing oneself apart, seeing oneself as someone in the world, no longer exists. This is what we are, here with you, working on. So, a new mind, a new brain, a new heart, Something is present-this Something is the presence of the Unknown, of that which is indescribable, which is the Truth of God.

GC: Master, we have a question from a subscriber here on the channel who left the following comment: "Master, I feel like my desires are controlling me. I spend all day thinking about what I want and what I don't have. How can I free myself from that?"

MG: Gilson, when desires control us, when you say, "I spend much of the day desiring, wanting what I don't have," who is under the control of desires? Who is this element present that is desiring what one doesn't have? What is the Truth about the "I"? You see a great conflict between the desires you have and the person you are. This conflict is established precisely because of another desire, which is the desire to stop being as you are. Therefore, you have the conflict between the desire to possess what you don't have, to achieve what you haven't achieved... this desire in conflict with the desire to stop being this way, to no longer want to be this way. The basis of the mind within us is the basis of the "I," of the ego-this is the element that is in contradiction, in the conflict of desires, in the conflict between desires.

We have been educated, molded, into a cultural pattern where the belief is that by fulfilling desires, you will be happy... but there comes a time when we want to free ourselves from desires, and this becomes another desire, one that clashes with the desire to have, with the desire to possess. We place this condition of the thinker, the experiencer, this "I," into thought, in this model of becoming. We are living in this conflict because we don't look at our reactions. We need to free ourselves from the illusion of the idea of ??"someone." It is the idea of ??someone present; that is what imprisons us in desire, including the desire to free ourselves. So, all that is needed to end the conflict, to end suffering, is the awareness of this "I." Just acknowledge, be aware, become aware of your reactions, be conscious of your desires, including this desire to free yourself from desires. Look at that!

Any and all movement-and this is the pattern of behavior within us- it is always a movement to free ourselves or to achieve. Achieving the result of freeing ourselves from desires-which is another desire-or obtaining freedom from desires. This "obtaining" is still a purpose, still a target or another desire. Here, looking at our reactions is becoming aware of how the mind is functioning; then you become aware of this "I," of this one who wants to free oneself, this one who wants to achieve. Then, it vanishes. It is the presence of this learning about ourselves that is the end for this internal condition of an identity present, moving with purposes. As long as desire is present, the one in desire will separate oneself from it to do something: either to pursue what one longs for, what one desires, or to free oneself from that same desire, and all of this is still the movement of the ego itself, of the "I" itself.

There is no separation between desire and the "I"; it creates this separation when it places this "achieving," this "becoming," this "obtaining," or this "getting rid of." Looking at this requires paying attention to our reactions. Thus, we break with the "I," we break with the ego; then Something new is present. This new Something is not part of the "I," not part of this condition of purpose to achieve or purpose to get rid of, desire to obtain or fear of not achieving. Fear is another aspect of desire itself, the same as suffering and conflict. The comprehension of ourselves is the end of this "I."

We must investigate the Truth about this person we are. For us, desire is the problem; the reality of the problem is this one in the problem. This one in the problem is inseparable from desire-it is the presence of the "I," the presence of desire, the presence of the problem. Looking at our reactions, looking at each and every movement of thought, feeling, emotion, this longing or yearning for more-looking is the end of this, the end of the "I," the end of desire. Okay?

GC: Master, we have another question from another subscriber here on the channel, who commented the following: "Marcos, how to go beyond 'liking' and 'disliking'?"

MG: Gilson, this "liking" or "disliking," "wanting" or "not wanting," is the presence of thought. When thought moves within you, it moves in projection. The presence of thought is a movement, within us, between past and future. Every thought here and now, appearing, is a portrait of the past. Therefore, we are engaged with what the past represents when thought is here. Sometimes thought, here, projects itself into the future. The whole interest of thought in us is continuity, maintenance, and the perpetuation of its presence. Notice how fundamental it is for us to understand this: when you have a thought, it's not satisfied with simply appearing, it has to continue itself. It maintains its continuity by reinforcing the past; it maintains its continuity by projecting itself into the future-that's how thought works.

So, we always live within a constant model of acceptance or rejection, of like or dislike, of seeking something in the future, of freeing ourselves from something from the past. This is the movement of the mind within us, this is the movement of consciousness, of the presence of the "I." You ask how to free yourself from this "like" or "dislike"... The very idea of ??freeing yourself, the very purpose of freeing yourself, must be investigated. We are still faced with a thought when we believe we can attain this Freedom in the future: the Freedom to want or not to want, to like or dislike.

Here, the vision of the comprehension of thought is fundamental; then, it ends. And when it ends, this choice ends, this idea of ??someone present drawing conclusions, making evaluations, deciding whether to want or not; this disappears due to the presence of the comprehension that thought is merely a memory. We are giving to a memory-which is the present thought, which is arising here-an identity. We are constantly placing the person, the "I," and we do this based on intention-the intention to obtain or the intention to get rid of; the intention to like or dislike. This intention places an identity present in the memory-which is thought that is appearing here, at this moment-an identity, an identity that comes from the past. This identity projects itself into the future; it requires thought for this movement. We do not have "coming to be"; we have, here, the Reality of Being.

The presence of this "becoming" is the presence of the "I," the "person," this "me." Every thought within you seeks "coming to be." This "ceasing to be" is also part of this movement, which is the movement of thought-a movement that, I repeat, is present because the "I" is present. When we pay attention to this moment, this attention brings a vision of the instant that eliminates this intention, that eliminates this "I." Every time you are attentive, this attention is something that, when present, this conscious sense of "I" is absent! Become aware of this, observe this within yourself: when you are in a moment of full attention, the sense of this conscious "I," which is the movement of thought, does not enter. Thought does not project itself into the future and it completely loses the importance of what it has to say about the past, when we bring this attention to this moment. This attention is something that is present here, but we do not have the presence of this "conscious I," this conscious or unconscious mind. There is Something that transcends the presence of the one who chooses to like or dislike.

Therefore, the true way to approach life is without "someone" in this approach. Then, Truth-the Truth of Being-is revealed. This is Liberation, this is the Freedom to live free from this egoic sense of like or dislike. Okay?

GC: Gratitude, Master, our time is up now. Thank you for this videocast. And for those of you who are following along and truly desire to experience these truths, we invite you to participate in the meetings that Master Gualberto offers. These are intensive weekend meetings available online, in-person, and also as retreats. These meetings are much more profound than the videos here on YouTube. First, because the Master answers our questions live, and second-and much more impactful-is that, because the Master already lives in this Awakened State of Consciousness, He shares a field of Presence around himself, a field of Energy, Power, and Grace. And, in these meetings, we end up taking a ride on this field of the Master's Presence. And, by taking this ride with the Master, spontaneously, effortlessly, without any technique or practice, we enter the Meditative State, quieting our minds, and gaining a vision, a true comprehension of the topics discussed here on the channel.

So, here's the invitation: in the first pinned comment, you'll find the WhatsApp link to join these meetings. Also, please give a "like" to the video, subscribe to the channel, and leave comments here, asking questions for us to add to future videocasts. And, Master, once again, thank you for the videocast.

How to find God | Meditation: what is it? | Learning about Self-Awareness | Mental suffering

The question here is: "Why does this suffering exist? This psychological suffering present in each of us." It is present because we haven't studied the truth about who we are, about how the mind within us functions, how it works; it's the absence of comprehension.

We are living in a pattern of behavior that is sustained by what thought evaluates. Thought is the element that makes evaluations; it looks at the present moment within the conclusions it draws. Life, in thought, is the presence of a life within the recognition that thought can reach, perceive, and deal with.

It's interesting to know, to comprehend, something fundamental: thought is an element within a limitation; it doesn't encompass the vision of the totality of life. Thus, its evaluations are limited evaluations, and we are living within these limitations, as people. So, why does such a thing as mental suffering exist? Because we are living in the mind.

But what is the mind? What is the truth about the mind? The internal movement of consciousness within us, what does that mean? It's the presence of recognition; a recognition that, because it arises from thought, comes from the past. See the implications of this. What do you know about the other? Everything you can know about them is based on what thought has to say about them.

What can you know about yourself other than what thought tells you? This is what allows you to have not only an idea of ??who you are, but also an idea of ??who the other is. You don't have the truth about them, you don't have the truth about yourself; you have what thought tells you. We have to investigate this, to have a clear understanding of this limitation.

If here, for example, I use an expression, a word, immediately, in your brain, this creates a mental representation; this mental representation in your brain is not reality, it is the image that thought is producing about what we are talking about here. Note that each word, in the dictionary, has numerous meanings. So, what exactly are we talking about here? If any of these words has multiple meanings, thought can create a specific image of a given word, and yet that's not what we're communicating here.

So, how can we approach life, how can we approach others, or ourselves, through words? Words are an element of communication, but they are limited to this condition of multiple interpretations. These are the evaluations of thought. We don't have contact with life as it happens, with ourselves, as we are, with others, as they are. And we don't have it because we haven't learned to observe, only to observe.

Our gaze becomes contaminated by thought, by this evaluation, by these various interpretations that the image creates-we do this all the time. Therefore, if I use a word here, whatever it may be, for example, the word "chair," you immediately have an image, but you don't know which chair I'm talking about, because there are countless chairs, and chairs come in many different shapes. And you have a particular image of a chair, but you don't know if that's the chair I'm talking about. So, this is the difficulty.

We are dealing with life through thought, through the evaluation that thought makes within us about a given thing. All our contact with others, with ourselves, with situations in life, through thought, is through a thinker, someone who is evaluating, that is, drawing conclusions, forming images, having ideas about something.

Here the question is: Is it possible to have contact with life without ideas, without images, without evaluations, and therefore, without thoughts? Such a quality of contact would be fundamental for true comprehension. We don't know what this true comprehension is because we are living in thought.

Why do we need to learn about Self-awareness? Because it is this that will reveal to us the Truth of Life as it is. You cannot have the Reality of Life as it is based on a mistaken idea about who you are. And this mistaken idea is the idea that thought has formed about who you are, and we are living in this thought.

We cannot comprehend life without first comprehending the truth about thought, about this image model that thought has established about who we are. Once again: this image is a particular image of evaluation, of comparison, of self-acceptance or self-rejection.

Note the implication of this: we are not dealing with the truth about ourselves, we are merely dealing with an imagination about who we are, when we are grounding our particular present person, which is the image that thought is establishing-establishing within our relations, with ourselves and with the world around us. Notice how complicated this is.

Learning about Self-awareness is investigating the nature of this "I," the nature of this self-image, the nature of this quality of thought. A true approach to oneself is a new vision of life, without the "I," without this one that thinks, feels, acts, evaluates, compares, or judges. And who is this? This is the presence of thought in this self-image. This is what we consider ourselves to be, the person. The person is this self-image.

Learning about ourselves is discovering the truth about this; and when there is full awareness of the truth about this, what we know as thought within us undergoes a profound, significant, and radical change. It is when we encounter Something beyond thought, and this is the end of mental suffering. This mental suffering is the presence of the one who suffers. There is no separation between this suffering and the one who suffers.

Now, what is this suffering essentially? If there is no separation between suffering and the sufferer, and if it has already become clear that the sufferer is thought itself, which is this self-image, this is the "I," the "I" that suffers. Therefore, the end of psychological thought, the end of thought, is the end of suffering. Thus, contact with Reality eliminates illusion, and illusion is this person, self-image, the "I," and this is nothing other than thought in this format.

Thus, we stop living in thought and embrace the Reality of Being. This is our true encounter with Truth. The encounter with Truth is the encounter with God. Notice what an extraordinary thing we have here now: How to find God? By embracing the Reality of Life without the "I." It's not something for the future, not something for tomorrow, not something for later. God isn't there waiting for you-so you would have to get out of here and get there.

The Reality of God, Divine Truth, the Truth about Life, is here and now, when the "I" is not. This awareness, this Revelation, is the presence of Meditation. Therefore, when we approach this learning about ourselves, we are having an answer to the question: "What is Meditation? Meditation, what is it?" Will there be "someone" present in the practice? Will there be"someone" present in the exercise, in the technique, when there is the presence of Meditation? The answer is simple: there is no one present when Reality is present.

Therefore, the presence of Meditation is the absence of the meditator. When there is the Revelation of this Being, which requires the presence of Self-awareness, here is the answer to the question: "What is Meditation?" It is the Revelation of this moment, when the "I" is not present. Therefore, we are faced with this awareness of Life when we learn to look at it without the old model of thought, which evaluates, judges, compares, draws conclusions, and interprets.

We are in direct contact with Life when thought, or word, or symbol, or image, is no longer present. Therefore, here in these meetings, investigating this, is embracing the Truth of what is present here, without the "I." This moment here, for example, is something that requires an encounter beyond words and, therefore, beyond thought, beyond these diverse meanings we give to each word, each image, each symbol.

We need to have an encounter here beyond speech, where, in the heart, something new emerges, something new happens. It happens in this space between words, it happens here in this gaze, in this feeling, in this perception. Real communication is this communion beyond the known, beyond all this symbolism of words, images, and mental representations, something beyond thought.

Thus, this moment here, like each and every moment, is always an opportunity for Meditation, since the presence of Meditation is the awareness of the moment, without interpretations, without evaluations, without comparisons, without thought. Therefore, what is this learning about ourselves? What is this presence of Meditation? It's about approaching this moment and simply listening, looking, and perceiving.

Therefore, don't judge, don't compare, don't evaluate, don't interpret. Then, in this Attention, in this simple and direct listening, something beyond speech, beyond words, happens. So, notice, this is a moment of Meditation, this is a moment of encounter with Silence, of encounter with Freedom, of encounter with Peace. It is the Reality of this Being, the Truth about You. This is the Divine Presence, it is Real Consciousness, it is that which is present here beyond the "I," beyond the ego.

Therefore, our true encounter with God consists of this awareness of Being, of simply Being. This is the end of mental suffering, the end of this idea of ??someone present as the thinker, the experiencer; this is the end of this idea of ??the person, of this "me," this "I." Your true encounter with Life consists of the acknowledgment of this moment. This is what we are here, together, working on in these meetings.

We have online meetings on weekends, where we will be working on this with you on Saturday and Sunday-two days online. I want to extend an invitation to you.

Joel Goldsmith | Beyond Words and Thoughts | What is the art of meditating? | Marcos Gualberto

GC: Hello, everyone! We're here for another videocast. Master Gualberto is with us again. Thank you, Master, for being here. Today, I'm going to read an excerpt from a book by Joel Goldsmith called: “Beyond Words and Thoughts.” In an excerpt from this book, Master, Joel makes the following comment: “The heart and soul of the mystical life is an inner experience, and no matter what may be your path, it must lead you to this experience.” In this excerpt, Joel comments on this inner experience. On this topic, can the Master share his vision of the art of meditating?

MG: Look, Gilson, the awareness of Meditation, the art of Meditation, is the comprehension of the one who meditates. When people set out to practice Meditation or a Meditation technique, they haven't comprehended something basic. It hasn't been made clear to them that every technique or practice is the mechanical exercise of an entity, the meditator, whose purpose is to achieve a goal called Meditation. This is not the truth about Meditation, because the truth about Meditation is that, in it, there is no meditator, since the presence of Meditation is the Awareness of Being.

Whereas In the practice of meditation, there is the idea of ​​becoming: “I am not in meditation.” “I want to enter into meditation.” “I don't know how to meditate.” “I have to learn to meditate.” “I am not silent, but I need silence.” “I need to quiet the mind, to have a silent mind”... Note: “I need to have.” “I wish to have.” “I have to have.” The presence of this “coming to be” is not the Awareness of Being. The art of Meditation consists in observing the meditator, in becoming aware of the movement, the impulse, the will, the desire, this intention to become. The true approach to Meditation is self-comprehension.

We have no real basis for Meditation. We do not have a real encounter with Meditation when one is engaged in it. Studying oneself is becoming aware of this entire movement of the “I.” Recognizing in oneself, in this “me,” the presence of “coming to be,” the desire to achieve, the purpose to accomplish. Learning about oneself is learning how the mind works, which involves the awareness of thoughts, feelings, sensations, and emotions.

Looking at this instant: there is a quality of looking without someone in that look, there is a quality of perception without someone in the perception. Who is the element present in the perception? It is the one who has lived experiences and perceives from the background, from the past, from memory. Who is this present in the gaze? The one who looks. It is the presence of the observer.

The observer in you is the element that comes from the past. When looking, it looks from the background, from recognition, from past experiences, from memories. Real contact with the Awareness of Being is the nullification of this “coming to be.” The Awareness of Being is the nullification of this observer, this experiencer. Any and all contact with life is only a Real contact when there is no one to make this contact.

Since this someone is a suggestion of thought, of an identity that sees itself present, this identity is the experiencer, the observer, it is precisely that person who sits down to meditate; and they concentrate, they push away thoughts, they breathe, in a certain way, they chant a mantra. There it is someone in action, in the execution of a project, a plan, a purpose. This purpose, a project, a goal, is something that comes from a thought suggestion, to achieve something.

The art of Meditation reveals the presence of Being. There is no time, no future, no purpose. Life, as it reveals itself here, in this moment, is the purpose. We are only unaware of this purpose because we are present as someone. If someone is present, that someone is moving toward the future. It is someone who is coming from the past, moving toward the future. This is the feeling and thought present in the person—in the person who meditates, in the person who does not meditate, in the person who turns to spiritual search, and also in the person who has no involvement with it.

The entire movement of the “I,” of the ego, of the person, is toward the future. Either in the search for spirituality, as thought projects, imagines, for the person, this includes the presence of a meditation system, a meditation practice, or the pursuit of material achievements, in worldly goals and purposes. As human beings, we live in conflict, in suffering, with problems. We lack the vision of Life, Freedom, and, therefore, Love. All our movement is the movement that involves some kind of intention, of desire. We want to escape what is bad, we want to reach what is good. It is the movement of the person.

You ask us about the art of Meditation. The Awareness of the Truth of Life, without the “I,” without the meditator, without the person, without the observer, without the thinker, without the experiencer, is the presence of the Natural State of Being, where Love is present, where Happiness is present. Here, Happiness is not found, not obtained, not achieved; it is assumed when illusion ends. This is the art of Meditation. The only Real purpose in life is Life in its purpose, and its purpose is the realization of the Truth of Being.

Paradoxically, we are faced with something that is already present. It is a realization that will not be done in the future. It is a realization that is assumed precisely when we abandon the idea of ​​becoming, when we abandon the idea of ​​achieving. Why don't we know the Truth about Meditation? Because all our involvement in thought is in time. How is the Truth of Meditation revealed? When thought is nullified. When it ceases, then time no longer exists, there is no longer past, present, or future.

At some moments in life, you encounter meditation. Something akin to a stumble. You're walking along and suddenly you stumble upon something. We constantly experience moments of egolessness, of absence of the “I,” when we are, so to speak, run over by something outside of egoic consciousness. Something akin to a stumble. Notice that when you stumble, you don't expect it to happen. It's something you don't expect. It's something that happens. Meditation is also something that happens.

You're at the edge of a lake, gazing at the water, and suddenly the mind is completely emptied of all the past—memories, remembrances, thoughts. And there's something present there, in that moment, that is beyond description. The luminosity of that lake, the sunlight, those leaves on the trees dancing in the wind. It's an encounter with the moment without the “I,” without the office, the clinic, the workshop. There are no friends, enemies, relatives, or family. It's a moment of Silence, of Stillness. A complete psychological emptiness, when the mind is temporarily emptied of all its old content. In that instant, there is an encounter with Meditation. There is no practice, technique, or method. It's something that simply happens.

So, what is the awareness of Meditation? It's the art of Being in everyday life, even in the office, in the practice, in the clinic, or driving your car. Approaching this Natural State of Being requires the presence of Self-awareness. We have several videos here on the channel talking about this.

GC: Master, on the subject of Meditation, we have a question from a subscriber here on the channel, who made the following comment: “Master, the Meditation you propose seems fantastic, but no matter how hard I try, my mind won't stop. There are so many thoughts. Shouldn't they stop?”

MG: You say: “It seems fantastic, this Meditation you propose.” Notice here, Gilson, once again, when you say: “How can I stop this? It seems like thoughts won't stop.” Yes, it's true. The thought pattern present in the mind we know, which is the conditioned mind, is the egoic mind, the “I” mind.

You're going to live until you're 80, 90 years old, and you will die like that, unless this is broken, shattered, undone here, at this moment. We need a mind free from all the weight of thought continuity, and, therefore, free from conditioning, free from the past. We need to be in touch with the present moment, without the pattern of internal restlessness. It's interesting when you say: “These thoughts, shouldn't they stop?” No, not necessarily.

In fact, the movement of thought is something common, continuous, repetitive, mechanical. Thought is in a movement of continuity, of repetition. Only when we become aware of the movement of thought itself, bringing awareness to this moment, only then, yes, in this moment, do we have the freedom of a mind free from all this movement of restlessness, chatter, and repetition of thoughts. So, thought, necessarily, doesn't need to stop.

Look at people: they spend their entire lives in this chatter. Here, the awareness of a mind free from the “I,” from the ego, which is this movement of restlessness, of thoughts, is what I've called “luxury.” You can spend your entire life wrapped up in the “I,” in the ego, in this chatter. Or you can break free from it here and now, becoming aware of your reactions, going beyond them, going beyond these feelings, emotions, sensations, and, of course, also going beyond these thoughts, because they are mechanical, unconscious; they repeat themselves, and they move like this within you, because you don't observe, you don't become aware, conscious of them.

And this is our invitation here: become aware of your reactions. Become aware of your feelings, thoughts, sensations, gestures. Bring into this moment perception without someone. Comprehension without the “I.” Bring into this instant perception without the perceiver, observation without the observer. This is self-observation. This is approaching yourself to comprehend the answer to the question: Who am I? You are not formulating the question. You are investigating the nature of the answer. Yes, the nature of the answer.

The Awareness of Truth is the Reality of this Being. It is the Reality of God. That which is Real Consciousness does not carry this restless movement of thoughts. I refer to this Real Present Consciousness here and now, when you assume the reality of a free mind, free of the thinker, the experiencer, the observer.

Now, we must make one thing clear here. A work in this direction is fundamental. This requires the presence of a Divine Power, which is the Power of Grace. Then, we situate ourselves outside the known, outside of time. When the reality present within you is the Reality of this Being, of this Real Consciousness, of this Divine Power, of this Grace, it is the presence of Self-awareness, the basis for Meditation, for this quality of life free from suffering, confusion, and problems.

That is why we present to you here that a life of Love, a life of Sanity, a life of Happiness is a “luxury.” It is a Divine Life. Interestingly, this Divine Life is the Only Real Life. Everything else that the human being is experiencing within this old model of the ego, of this restlessness, is not real. They are in a dream, in their confused, disoriented, disturbed state of being. A dream that, at times, seems like everything is fine, but then, in the next moment, everything changes. Then, it ceases to be a dream and becomes a nightmare. This is the life of the “I.” This is the life of the ego.

GC: Master, on this topic, we have another question from another subscriber on the channel, who made the following comment: “Master, how do we silence the noisy mind?”

MG: Gilson, the other question here is: How do we silence this noisy mind? Silence, serenity, stillness, the absence of movement, of thoughts, and therefore, of someone involved with the idea of ​​past, present, or future; is this possible? That is the question. Is what we just discussed possible? The answer to this is found within you, when you directly engage in direct, specific, clear, and objective work in this direction.

A direct work in this direction brings you the clarity of a vision of the Truth about yourself and shows you yourself in your Natural State of Being. Here, there is no model of restlessness, chatter, or all this noise of thought. This is something present in this egoic mind pattern: the mind we receive from culture, the mind we inherited from a model of the world, of existence, where this existence is the personal existence, the existence of someone who sees themselves present.

Discovering the Truth about oneself is discarding the truth of this “me.” Then, the mind becomes silent, the brain becomes still. It's not you silencing the mind, quieting the brain. It's not a stillness you achieve, that you acquire, that you conquer. It's a Stillness, a Silence that arises naturally, when we bring attention to our reactions, when we learn to learn about ourselves.

When we move in this direction, in this work, life is Real when you, as a person, as ego-identity, are no longer present. Then, this mind becomes silent, this New Space opens up, and this Freedom flourishes. Then, that which is Divine Reality is present, that which reveals itself as the Truth of God.

Human beings spend their entire lives immersed in their dreams, in their “nightmare-dream” of being someone. The flourishing of this Natural State is possible for each of us. However, it is a discovery, an acknowledgment, a perception. This is what we are working on with you here, speaking to you about this possibility, this Freedom, speaking to you about this Love.

The Awareness of God is Supreme Happiness, it is Supreme Peace. The Indescribable Reality of Life, free from the dream, this “nightmare-dream” of being someone, is Bliss, it is Happiness. It is indescribable you in your Natural State of Being. However, it is possible to embrace this in this life. If you are here approaching this topic, it is because this is your moment. This is what we are here for—and also in our online and in-person meetings—working on with you.

GC: Gratitude, gratitude, Master, our time is over now. Thank you for this videocast.

And for those of you who are following the videocast to the end and truly want to experience these truths and discover what Meditation is, we invite you to participate in the meetings that Master Gualberto offers.

These meetings are much more profound than these videos here on YouTube. First, because the Master answers our questions directly. And second, and 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.

In these meetings, we end up being carried by this field of the Master's Presence. And the power of this field of Presence places us in a meditative state, without any practice, without any effort. Before we know it, we are in total Silence, in this state of Meditation.

So, here is the invitation!

In the first pinned comment, there is the WhatsApp link to participate in these meetings. Also, please “like” the video, subscribe to the channel… And, Master, once again, thank you for the videocast.

Joel Goldsmith | Living the Illumined Life | What is spiritual life? | Marcos Gualberto

GC: Hello everyone! We're here for another videocast, and Master Gualberto is with us again. Thank you, Master, for being here. Today I'm going to read an excerpt from a book by Joel Goldsmith called "Living the Illumined Life." In one passage of this book, Master, Joel makes the following comment: "In spiritual life there is no chance, nor accidental events of any kind." In this passage, Joel comments on spiritual life. Within this subject, Master, can you share your vision of what spiritual life is?

MG: Gilson, life is one single life. Thought, within us, is the element that separates, divides, and subdivides. We speak of material life, we speak of emotional life, we speak of spiritual life. Thus, for us, there are diverse forms of life, and we can continue subdividing this. The Reality of life, that is what interests us here, in these meetings, to have a direct vision. There is a difference between indirectly looking at something-which is what we generally do when our approach to it is intellectual, theoretical, in words, verbal. It is the indirect way of addressing certain issues.

It has created several difficulties for most of us. We are only treading on the ground of ideas, in the field of concepts, in the theoretical environment, in the space of abstraction, when we are dealing only with theories, with words, with concepts. And that is what we do when we talk about life: we write poetry, poems, songs. we put the expression "life" in a romantic, emotional, sentimental way, in song lyrics, in poetry and poems, and we find the power of this expression very interesting, but we remain only in this quality of field, which is the theoretical field.

We are unaware of the Reality of life, and that is our endeavor here, that is our interest here: we are investigating the Truth about life. And the Truth about life is that there is no "someone" to live life; that is just another idea we have. We speak of life as an element separate from ourselves, as if we were the present, living element, meant to live. We mistake ourselves for the body, we mistake ourselves for the mind, we see ourselves as entities separate from life, and then we speak of the possibility of a spiritual life, just as we believe that we are already living a life. So, the idea is to move from the material life we ??are living to a spiritual life.

What we are actually living, or believing we are living, is the presence of a dream that we call "life." When people die, we believe they have left life, that they've been taken from life. In truth, what we now have is the physical absence, or the absence of the appearance of a person within a dream, because the pure Reality of life, the real life, is Divine Reality, the Reality of God, and we assume this Reality when we leave behind the illusion of the dream, this so-called "life" that we call "my life," the idea of ??this particular life of the person. So, "I have my life united with your life," "I love my life," "I am living my own life well," these are expressions we use, expressions without any real meaning, because we are only expressing thoughts, ideas, concepts, and beliefs - and how we appreciate that!

And now we are talking about achieving a spiritual life. You ask: "What is this spiritual life?" It seems to me that, the awareness of life is the true comprehension of life, and it is only possible when life is real, and it is only real when there is no more illusion. The presence of thought is sustaining, for each of us, the continuity of a dream that we call "material life," and in this so-called "material life," we are pursuing happiness, pursuing peace, pursuing freedom. We are on a trajectory or journey of pursuit to find, in the thought, within us. The idea is of finding tomorrow: tomorrow finding love, tomorrow finding peace, tomorrow finding God, tomorrow finding spiritual life, ceasing to be materialistic.

The reality of what we call "life" is the absence of real life-that is the reality of the life we ??know within thought. Here, investigating the issue of thought means comprehending the nature of the one who thinks, who is the person; of the one who feels, who is the person; of the one who believes to be the person. That is the dream! It is a dream present in the mind, within its illusions. We need to be aware of a free, clear, lucid, real mind, where there is no longer this contamination of beliefs, concepts, ideas, imaginations, as we are currently living. That is how we are living this particular life of the person: we are inside a dream.

So, you ask what spiritual life is. It is real life, but this real life is not the life of "someone," it is not life for "someone," it is the life of Being. Yes, it is life in this Being. Being is the essential nature of each of us, it is the Truth about God, the nature of your Being. Here is life, a life that, however strange it may seem to us, is beyond birth and death. It is fundamental to comprehend this, that it is the only real life. It is not life for you, it is the life that is you! We are dividing, not only in words, but above all in an imaginary way, we are establishing in living the illusion of this separation. Therefore, what disappears here is this illusion.

Life is not something that is absent; however, what is present falsifies the Reality of this life that is here and now, and what is present is the illusion of an identity, the illusion of "someone," of "someone" who feels alive and who can die. All our fright, fear, all our dread consists in the disappearance of this history, of all this memory, of what thought believes it has, possesses, for this "me," for this "I." That is why we speak of the fear of death. Some engage in this so-called "spiritual" search in the idea, in the illusion of what they also call "spirituality": a path, a form, a way to escape suffering.

The reality of life is the end of suffering. Yes, it is the end of the idea of ??someone dying, but that is the Realization of the Truth of That which is present here, not something for the future in this imaginary spirituality. Therefore, spiritual life consists in the awareness of the Reality of this Being, in the awareness of the Reality of God, here and now. You were born to embrace the Truth that there is no one present. We have, here in life, the reality of God, and that is the true spiritual life. Real Divine life is the life of this Being. Therefore, Love, Happiness, Peace, Freedom, is the presence of this life, of this awareness of God, of this real life, of this Divine life, of this real spiritual life.

GC: Master, we have a question from a subscriber here on the channel, who made the following comment: "Master, can I find God, even with so many thoughts?"

MG: Gilson, the idea of ??finding God is still just a thought. We need to discover the Reality present, yes, beyond thought. But investigating the nature, the structure of thought is to find oneself in the possibility, in fact, of going beyond them. And when we are beyond thoughts, we discover this Reality present; this Reality present beyond thoughts is your natural State of Being. Here, the presence of Being is the absence of the mind as we know it, and therefore it is the absence of this model of thought. Your concern is to have an encounter with God. Here the recommendation is: investigate the nature of the "I," investigate the nature of this thinker. Once it is clarified that thought is the thinker itself and this thinker is the "I," and this "I" as a person is an illusion, once this is clarified, the Reality of God, which is not absent, reveals itself.

We cannot, in fact, have an encounter with God, because the idea of ??someone having such an encounter is an illusion. It is the very thought, stemming from the idea of ??that thinker, creating this suggestion. The real, direct path to God is to become aware of the illusion of the "I," the illusion of this person, and it requires the presence of Self-awareness, it requires a look at life without the model of the past. The model of the past is the model constructed, designed by this structure of ideas, beliefs, words, which are thoughts. It is necessary, and that is fundamental, to have a mind free from the past, a mind free from all this historical content-??the history of this character, which is the history of this ego-identity. The complete emptying of all this content arises naturally when the mind finds itself free from all the psychological occupation.

Here it is the presence of Meditation, the true approach to the Truth of this revelation, this awareness of God. God is the only Reality present, but any idea about that is just a belief. We see ourselves as people, separate from life, separate from God. The Reality of life is the Reality of God, and this is the Truth of this Being: there are no people! This is what we need to comprehend, and this comprehension is born, flourishes, awakens naturally, when we discover what it is to learn about ourselves, what it is to learn how the mind works. And it eliminates this quality of particular life in this dream, which is the dream of someone present. It eliminates this particular life of this center, of this "I." Then, God reveals himself as the only Reality present when the Truth of Meditation is here. Therefore, we need to learn the awareness of Being, we need to learn about Meditation, Reality, what real Meditation is. We have a playlist here on the channel, working with you on this matter of Self-awareness and real Meditation in a practical, experiential way.

GC: Master, regarding this topic of thought, we have another question from another subscriber here on the channel, who made the following comment: "How to observe my thoughts without getting lost in them?"

MG: Gilson, your question is: "How not to get lost in thoughts?" Note that the central idea, the basic idea in all of us, is of someone present doing something, accomplishing something, having a purpose and working towards it. Here, yes, work is needed, a purpose is present; however, there is no one to do this work, nor to achieve this goal or purpose. So, here, in response to your question, which is "How to observe thoughts?", we are faced with something of incredible simplicity, but at the same time incredibly complex! We are creating this incredible difficulty for something so basic and simple, which is looking at thoughts.

Out of habit, bias, practice, or addiction, we are constantly interfering in the present moment, interfering with what is happening here. We see ourselves as an entity present in this instant to interfere. So, we see ourselves as someone capable of intervening, shaping, and interfering in the moment. I refer to interfering with the experience of this instant, for example: a thought is present. When it arises, immediately, out of habit-this is how we have been functioning for millennia-the thinker emerges. When a thought arises, the thinker immediately emerges. This thinker is the person who likes the thought or dislikes the thought.

So, we don't know how to look at thought, because our gaze is contaminated by an observer, by a thinker, by an experiencer who wants to interfere. However, we need to discover, here and now, what it means looking-just to look, simply to look-in this attention, looking. Looking is not interfering, looking is not liking or disliking, it's not trying to do something with what you observe, it's just looking! It's as if I were to present you with a flower: you can look at the flower or you can create ideas about it. I present to you the flower and you imagine this flower in a vase inside your house, on top of some piece of furniture. I present to you the flower and you imagine yourself extending your hands, picking this flower and giving it to someone. You can have many images about this flower that I show you. Any of these images is an imagination within you about this flower.

When you do that, you lose the "gaze"-there is no longer a gaze directed at this flower; what we have present is someone looking at this flower. We are constantly putting intention, motivation, the idea of ??what to do; we are doing this all the time with experiences. Thus, it is very common, when faced with something we are seeing, to project the idea of ??someone being present. The presence of this someone is this one which observes from an ideal, a purpose, or an intention.

Here, the Truth of this fundamental gaze is this gaze without the observer, this is the fundamental gaze without interfering. So, there is a direct observation; therefore, to observe is simply to look, to become aware, to become conscious. It is not to interfere, it is not to do something with what you are seeing. The idea, the intention, the motivation to do something is the presence of a separation between what is being observed and someone in this observation. You ask: "How to observe thoughts?" It's the same way you look at something: you just look!

Become aware of thoughts; when a feeling arises, become aware of the feeling or emotion, or sensation. If a thought arises within you, you simply observe. If a sensation appears with that feeling, you simply observe. The point is that we are constantly engaging with thought or sensation, or with what shows itself, with what presents itself. Thus, we are placing an experiencer, an observer. There is no real observation when the observer is present because, as looking, that looking is to interfere.

Will it be possible to only look a thought as it arises, a feeling as it appears, a sensation?... This feeling, this sensation, this thought is something that is arising due to a stimulus-this stimulus is what is presenting this experience. When there is only the look without interference, we have the end of the idea of ??someone present being the experiencer, being the observer. True observation is observation without the "I," which is the observer! This is the real way of approaching Meditation, it is looking at this instant without the past, that is, without the interference of the "I," without the interference of this experiencer, without the interference of this observer.

Approaching this moment requires looking at it. The true look of this moment is one of perception-in this perception there is no one to perceive; it is listening to what this moment represents-in this listening there is no one to interfere. Then, something beyond what shows itself here is revealed. Thus, we are before the end of duality, the end of separation. There is no observer observing something, no experiencer experiencing something, no one listening to this or that-it is only listening, only observing, only perceiving.

This is the true approach to this moment, when the sense of separation is not. For a long time, everything we've done has been from the perspective of "I," from the perspective of "someone." We look from the perspective of ideas, concepts, beliefs, will, desires, the impulse to do something, to alter, to modify. And so we always place the presence of an identity here, which separates itself from this instant, from this moment. Therefore, there is a quality of approach to this moment, from both an external and internal viewpoint, without the presence of this duality, without the presence of this "I" and the "non-I." It requires this attention.

Just looking, just perceiving, then something new emerges. That something is the awareness of non-duality; then what is present here beyond this "I" and the "non-I" is revealed. This is the true way of approaching the present moment, this instant, what happens externally or internally. Therefore, this sense of "I" does not show itself, does not present itself. So, there is no one to get lost in when there is only the gaze, the perception, the observation. There is no one getting lost in thoughts; what we have present is the presence of thought. This sense of someone is not real, and what reveals this is this quality of approaching this moment in this attention. Thus, contact with this instant is the vision of the moment, the simple and direct vision of what is present here, emerging in this instant, internally or externally.

GC: Thank you, Master, our time is up. Thank you for this 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 intensive weekend meetings that Master Gualberto offers. These meetings are much deeper than these videos here on YouTube. First, because the Master answers our questions live, and second, 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 of Power and Grace. And, in these meetings, we end up taking a ride in this field of the Master's Presence. And, taking this ride with the Master, spontaneously, without any practice, without any technique, without any effort, we enter the Meditative State, we silence our minds and we can have a real vision and comprehension of the subjects that are discussed here on the channel.

So, here's the invitation: in the first pinned comment, you'll find the WhatsApp link to participate in these meetings. Also, please leave a "like" to the video, subscribe to the channel. and, Master, once again, thank you for the videocast.
