What is Real Consciousness? | Realization of Oneness | 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 "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 power is in the still and smal voice." In this passage, Joel comments on this inner Power, on this Divine Power. Within this topic, Master, could you share your vision on what Real Consciousness is?

MG: Gilson, why do we use expressions like "Real Consciousness" here and differentiate this Real Consciousness from what we understand by "consciousness"? First of all, let's comprehend what we mean by "consciousness." What you understand by "consciousness" is the presence of this mind: the conscious and unconscious mind. We have an internal movement occurring in each of us-it's the movement of feelings, emotions, and thoughts. This movement is what we understand by "mind." Thus, this mind carries hidden memories and more recent memories, and these more recent memories are operating at a level that we call "conscious." So, we divide the mind into conscious and unconscious, into consciousness and unconsciousness.

Therefore, what we comprehend as "consciousness" is this movement of the mind, but all this movement-??observe that in yourself-is a movement that proceeds from a response pattern that, actually, we call "conscious" but is pure unconsciousness. Note that when you have thoughts, the idea of ??someone present having thoughts is a classic sign that you are unaware that this person does not exist; what is present is only thought, because there is no separation between thought and the thinker. This idea of ??someone having thoughts is part of this unconsciousness, because what is present is only a movement of thoughts. Your responses are responses of thought.

If, for example, I ask you something, your answer arises from thought. It's not from someone having a thought, but from thought itself, which is memory, remembrance, recollection. This "someone" doesn't exist, but the common belief is that someone exists, someone conscious of the answer. This "someone" is the thinker. Examine this calmly, here. When you give me an answer and I ask you, "Who answered me?", you say, "I did!" But what is this "I"? Isn't it also thought? Isn't it an element present that is sustaining itself on an image that thought is establishing about who you are? Therefore, this is still thought. The "I" that you say you are is just an image-this image is part of thought. Thus, there is no separation between this image, this "I," and thought.

All of this happens within you unconsciously. Therefore, what we call "consciousness," which implies the presence of this conscious and unconscious mind, is the presence of unconsciousness. It is the presence of this unconsciousness that we call "personal consciousness," that which we call "my consciousness." What is the Truth about you? Here we have the Truth about the "I," about the person, about this "me." Yes, this is seen as the Truth about you, but will there be a Reality about you, beyond this image, beyond this "I," beyond this personal consciousness? Here we are presenting it to you: The answer is yes, there is a Reality present, the Reality about you, beyond this "you" that thought has established, beyond this idea, this image, beyond this person. This is Divine Reality!

So, what is this Real Consciousness? It is That which is present here beyond the known, beyond this consciousness, beyond this model of thought, which is the person. The Realization of Truth or the Awakening of Consciousness, of this Real Consciousness, or Enlightenment, or Vision of God-or whatever name you want for it-consists in this awareness of That which is present here, which is not within this context of the "I," this model of the known, this pattern of personal consciousness. The encounter with this Reality consists in the acknowledgement of the Reality present beyond thought, beyond that which this consciousness limited by thought knows and recognizes.

The good news is that you were born for this awareness, for the awareness of life. The Reality of God is the Freedom of Being-that is Meditation. This is the result of a deep comprehension of ourselves, of a direct and true comprehension of the Truth about this "me," about this person! That is what we are working on. The various videos we have here on the channel-actually hundreds-all of them address the importance of this vision, this perception, this comprehension, this quality of listening, the Truth of this gaze-something entirely different from what we know, because we are dealing with the awareness of life as it is at this moment.

A new brain, a new mind, a new heart, a perception of the reality of the moment without the past: It requires the presence of that Divine Intelligence, of God's Wisdom, of the Truth of the Revelation of That which is real here without this mind, without this "consciousness," without this pattern, without this old model of feeling, acting, thinking, and responding. This old model has its structure in this consciousness of the "I," which is the ordinary consciousness.

Looking at this life, embracing the reality of this moment without the idea of ??someone in this gaze, is to become aware that there is no separation. There is no "one" observing life; this gaze is the gaze of life in the own life. When the illusion of duality, of separation between this "I" and the "non-I"-this "I" that observes what is being observed-when this is eliminated, something is revealed. This Something is nameless, indescribable; it is Divine Truth, Supreme Bliss, and True Happiness. Looking at what is here, without "someone" in this gaze, is our proposal to you. Your contact with the other, your contact with him or her, your contact with life, your contact with situations, without "someone," without the "me," without the "I," is the Awakening of this Real Consciousness, the blossoming of this Natural State of Being. Okay?

GC: Master, we have a question from a subscriber here on the channel, who wrote the following comment: "I have a very strong self-victimization pattern. How can I change that?"

MG: Gilson, the old idea of ??changing patterns from a base is a mistake, it's an illusion! It's about investigating the base, investigating the pattern. The very basis for this change is still part of that pattern. When we want to get out of envy, jealousy, fear, anger, the idea of ??getting out is the base, but it's a base that is separate from the jealousy, envy, or fear itself-or, in this case, from self-victimization. We don't realize that this basis for getting out of this condition is part of the condition.

To put it another way: We always have ideals; they are ideas about what to do, about how to get rid of things. Therefore, this resistance or this basis is still part of this condition. We are constantly in the ideal of "becoming," of "achieving," in the ideal of "getting rid." Therefore, when envy is present, fear is present, anger is present, suffering is present, we add an idea of ??how to get rid of it, of how to get rid of this given thing. This ideal is "coming to be," "achieving," "becoming."

Thus, we are always projecting the future from the condition in which we find ourselves at this moment. This projection is a projection of thought. We are dealing with the idea of ??the future as if we were dealing with a real purpose, while in fact we are only dealing with an imagination of the very condition in which we find ourselves. When you separate yourself from fear, it reinforces fear, it sustains fear. Any resistance to fear is the continuation of fear, it is the strengthening of the condition of fear. The purpose of getting rid of, of defending oneself, of resisting or fighting is born from fear, just as, in this self-victimization which you want to get rid of, the idea of ??someone to get rid of is the illusion of someone who separates oneself from the state of self-victimization and has a plan of how to defend itself, how to protect itself, how to achieve victory over self-victimization.

Note that here we are dealing with only one single movement, which is the movement of thought. Thought creates the thinker to have thoughts about that. In this state of self-victimization, thought creates this "victimized" one, to protect oneself, to defend oneself, to free oneself. Here the question is: How can we approach this state without the idea of ??this "I," without the idea of ??"freeing oneself," of "resisting"? The answer is basic: There is only one real approach to this state when it becomes clear that there is no such thing as "someone" to protect oneself, to defend oneself.

The presence of the state is the only reality here, at this moment. In this victimhood, there is no one who is victimized to escape victimhood. In this victimhood, there is no thought that does not originate from the very state of self-victimization. If it becomes clear, we have here the true way to approach the state. And when it becomes clear, no movement can be made, no movement becomes necessary, because there is no such thing as a victimized person separate from victimhood, and there is no such thing as an idea separate from that victimized one.

Observe this, abandon any idea of ??"someone" to get rid of. Allow this state to be seen, clarified, comprehended without the idea, without the "I." If it becomes clear, it dissolves. The continuation of fear requires "someone," the continuation of victimhood requires "someone," the continuation of anger requires someone reinforcing ideas, drawing conclusions, trying to get rid of or justify the state.

What we are presenting to you here is that there is no such thing as this state separate from this one-it is one single phenomenon, one single event. Can we have life, here and now, free from this entire model of psychic, psychological suffering? The answer becomes clear when it becomes clear that there is no such thing as this "I" that separates oneself from the state. When we don't have this "I" separating oneself from the state to defend oneself, to free oneself, to escape, this state vanishes.

The Reality of Being does not entail this psychological movement of continuity, of affirmation of the "I." Your Natural State of Being does not carry this "I" and the "non-I," this victim and victimhood, this victimized and this state of victimhood, it does not carry this model of getting rid of or achieving. The Reality present here is Being. It is not something in time, it is not something born from the past, it is not something projected into the future to achieve or get rid of. It is something entirely new, different, and unknown.

What brings you closer to this Revelation is this gaze, this listening, this perceiving what is present here, without separation. The presence of this comprehension is what we have called Self-awareness. Knowing your reactions is knowing your fears, desires, conflicts, your internal states of self-victimization, anger, or any other psychological state of suffering for this "I." Becoming aware of this is the end for this condition, it is the end for this situation. Then, Something beyond words is revealed, which is you in your Natural State of Being. Okay?

GC: Master, we have another question from another subscriber here on the channel, who wrote the following comment: "Master, can words and theories function as bridges to That which is unnamable?"

MG: Gilson, no word, no theorizing, no concept, no idea can bring you closer to Reality! Reality is beyond words, concepts, ideas, and theories. Reality is what is present here beyond thought; therefore, any form of approach at this level-at the level of thought-is still at the level of a conditioned intellect. The conditioning present in us is memory, remembrance, our recollections. All types of knowledge, which is thought, are conditioned.

So, we have a conditioned brain, a conditioned mind, a conditioned intellect, and this is, actually, the great impediment. To move from the mind to the Heart, to move from this theorizing to the direct experience of living life as it is, as it happens, it requires this sensitivity, this profound vulnerability to Life. Then, yes, it brings you closer to a real contact with what is present here. We constantly flee from this contact because, in fact, it is painful. To become aware of your reactions, to become aware of how the mind, in its ambition, envy, fear, jealousy, desires, the mind in its afflictions, is acting-this is painful. But it is the contact with that, when we do not separate ourselves, because of this vulnerability and sensitivity, at that moment we can go beyond the "I," beyond the ego, beyond this psychological condition, to Something unknown, unnameable.

Therefore, the basis for this experience of the Reality of what you call the "unnamable," as we have put it, is to go beyond what is known, and it requires contact with the Truth about this "me," about this "I." Therefore, it is the presence of Self-awareness, the real contact with Meditation, that liberates us from this illusion of someone present; of someone present who suffers, of someone present in ambition, in fear, in jealousy, and in all these diverse states, in this psychological model of conditioning that we carry. But there is no way to go beyond this "I" without full awareness of how we are functioning, of how this ego-identity is sustaining itself in this old pattern, in this old model of social conditioning, of cultural conditioning.

Thus, when people try to practice meditation to escape these states, they haven't comprehended that the awareness of Self-knowledge is the revelation of these states. So, yes, when there is an awareness of this revelation, this illusion of someone separating oneself from these states vanishes, and naturally, the states themselves also disappear. Then, That which is indescribable, which is beyond words, which is the Truth of this Being, reveals itself. Therefore, there is no way to skip steps here; this comprehension is fundamental, the vision of the Truth about oneself is essential. Without it, there is no real Meditation, without it, this encounter with Divine Reality is impossible. There is no real separation between the Reality of this Being and the Truth of God. However, this contact only reveals itself when illusion ends.

Therefore, we need to investigate the nature of this "I," this "me," of all this psychological movement of "becoming," of "trying to get rid"-something so present in the "I," in the ego. Thus, the basis for Love, Truth, for Wisdom, requires the presence of Self-awareness. It is the presence of this studying, this comprehension, in this vulnerability, in this sensitivity, that brings you closer to that Natural State of Meditation, where Supreme Happiness, Supreme Freedom, the Truth of God, That which is nameless, indescribable, is revealed. Okay?

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, you are invited to participate in the intensive weekend meetings that Master Gualberto offers. These meetings are available online, in person, and also as multi-day retreats. These meetings are much deeper and more transformative than these videos here on YouTube. First, because the Master answers our questions live, directly; and second, and much more impactful, 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 "taking a ride" in the Master's field of Presence. And, by doing it, spontaneously, without any effort, without any technique, we enter a Meditative State, silence our minds, and can have a real vision and comprehension of the subjects discussed here. So, here's the invitation: In the first pinned comment, you'll find the WhatsApp link to participate in these meetings. Also, please "like" the video and subscribe to the channel. And, Master, once again, thank you for the videocast.

The energy of God | How to find God | Meditation: what is it? | Learning about Self-Awareness

Here, in these meetings, when we learn to listen, in this listening there is naturally no resistance; and in this listening, we will see that in this state of listening, a transformation happens, something that occurs within ourselves. And it is important that it is said: It is not something that you do by your effort, from your part, but it is something that occurs in a natural manner.

Thus, we need, here, to learn to listen in attention, or that is, without any resistance, without the need to agree with what we are hearing or to disagree with it. This gives us this learning about ourselves, when we learn to hear him or her saying something, when we learn to hear our own thoughts, when we learn to hear life happening.

Learning about Self-awareness is the most important thing in life. In general, we do not really listen, since we always have a certain intention, a certain motive, a certain purpose, and this denotes the presence of effort. The presence of effort makes us tense and incapable of this understanding. The understanding is the revelation of that which is present here, and this does not depend on an act of the "I" itself. Notice the importance of this.

To understand a thing it is necessary to listen without effort, without resistance, any inclination, opinion, or judgment, and this is not something simple; in truth, it is very difficult, because our habit, our psychological model is different. And if we do not learn to listen, we will not have this learning about ourselves.

Our problem is not on how to do this change, this contact with the Reality of Life. Who will make this contact? In what form could I do this? This is not the question. When we know to listen, without any resistance, something happens. It is interesting expressions like "the energy of God"; when people use this expression, they refer to something that, in fact, they do not know, but they affirm it based on beliefs, concepts, ideas. They affirm it based on intellectual conclusions that they have, that they bring.

Here we are inviting you to discover what it is to listen to life happening, then you will know what is this Reality emerging, appearing, blossoming here, in this moment; I refer to this Divine Reality. Expressions like "the energy of God," or "the Reality of God," or "the Truth of God," this stays only in the field of ideas. Here we need to have a real contact with the Truth, a real contact with this Reality, a real contact with That which is present here.

Thus, we do not need ideas, of concepts or beliefs; in truth, this change or transformation, in this contact with this Truth, with this Reality, with That which is Supreme, whether we call this Divine Energy, Reality of God or Supreme Truth, this is something that happens independently of any act of ours, personal, that is, conscious. In truth, this change cannot occur within this consciousness of the "I" by the will of the "I."

The contact with this change, with this transformation, with this Reality is the end of this psychological condition of the "I," the end of this model of personal consciousness, something new here is present. So, here the question is: How does this become possible? How can we go through this transformation, through this change, regardless of any reason, motive or intention of ours? This is the question. The answer for this is very simple: to discover directly what it is to look, to listen, to perceive, without getting involved.

Notice, the answer is basic, it is simple, but the understanding of this answer is something that requires from each one of us something beyond the will, the desire or this wanting. It is not enough to want, to have will or to desire, we need to have a real contact with this moment, with this instant, without interfering with it, so that there is an understanding. So, yes, it becomes possible to understand this in a direct way.

Thus, our attitude needs to be new, an attentive attitude in this hearing, in this listening, in this observing that which happens inside each one of us and also externally. Our emphasis here consists in this discovery, in the discovery of this learning how the mind happens, how it functions, how it processes itself in us.

At first, your way of looking at the experience is from evaluations, comparisons, acceptances and rejections. It is this that we need here to unlearn when we are dealing with the internal movement of this consciousness of the "I." This psychological movement in us, in this conditioning, in this conditioned mind, prisoner of this pattern, is to do this. We are constantly evaluating, comparing, accepting, rejecting from criteria of the past, from ideas, and these ideas are born from these memories.

These psychological memories in us are the presence of that which has not been concluded, completed. If you are sad at me, it is because you are offended, hurt, upset; this is present in me, this is present in you. I am constantly creating disagreements for you, annoyances for you, it is a habit. It is the model of being someone that I have. In turn, you have your model of being someone, which is to get hurt, sad, bothered, angry at me. It is thus that our relations happen. These relations are not real.

There is no contact, there is no communion, there is no real communication between us. We stay each one behind a wall, living in one's isolationism and having these contacts centered in the very "I," in the very "ego": so are our relations with people. And this prevents us from having contact with Life without conflict, without suffering, without disorder. We are confused human creatures, disoriented, loaded with desires and fears. This is the movement of this "I," of this "ego."

Therefore, this transformation is fundamental in our lives. This is the contact with this Divine Energy, with this Energy of God, with this presence of Life. Therefore, how to find God? Abandoning the illusion of this ego-identity, abandoning this pattern of behavior centered in these memories that did not conclude.

When I have a contact with you without the image, without the remembrance, without this psychological memory of what you represent to me and of what I believe to represent to you, in this instant we have a contact with the moment without the past. Can we allow ourselves life without these psychological memories that do not conclude?

I look at you from the past, you look at me from the past. I look at myself from the past, I live in high self-esteem, I live in low self-esteem. It is the way that thought configures the image that I constructed about myself, it is the way that thought configures the image that I constructed about you that sustains this level of relationship, where it is present this quality of memory, which is the memory that did not conclude, which is the memory that justifies the presence of this "me," of this "I," of this "ego."

Can we assume life without this quality of memory? This is the question. Can we deal with the other without the idea of this me? To deal with the other without the image that this "me," that "I" have of him or her. It is from this transformation that we are speaking here. This is your contact with Life; this contact with Life, without the "I," is the Revelation of this encounter with God.

Thus, how to find God? The question is this; the answer is basically: Free yourself from the "I," free yourself from the "ego," free yourself from the idea of the model of thought, of conditioned thought, of psychological thought, of thought that is basically registers of the past within relations. Look at him or her without the past, which requires living this moment allowing each moment, this instant to conclude. This is the death of psychological memory. The memory of the "I" is the continuity of this sort of relation where conflict is established, sustains itself.

Thus, we free ourselves from the illusion of the "I" when, at each moment, we allow thought to conclude. Then, there is no more this continuity, which is the continuity of this pattern of recognition in the future of that which thought is bringing from the past. This is the end of time, when we allow that, at each moment and at each instant, thought to conclude.

When we are attentive to our reactions, in this observing how the mind functions, in this looking without separation between this "I" and the "not I," which is thought and the thinker, when we bring this Attention to this instant, thought loses this relevance for this identity, which is the "I," then it does not establish itself as a psychological memory, as a recollection, as a register in us, in this mind and in this brain.

When there is no more the register, because there is not this psychological memory, there is no more continuity in this time. Thus, your contact with the moment, be with him or her, be with life, is no more the contact of someone that is coming from the past. There is no more this someone. This requires that you discover what it means to die for each instant, for each moment, from the psychological point of view.

When we do not cultivate the continuity of this image, of this self-image, of this person, of this "me," Life assumes this space as it is. Until this given moment, what we have done in this inattention, in this absence of the awareness of Being-this is where the presence of Meditation comes in-what we have done, what we are doing is maintaining the continuity of this movement, which is the movement of psychological thought, which are these good and bad remembrances that I have of him or her.

But when you discover the truth of Meditation... What is Meditation? What is the Reality that reveals itself here when Meditation is present? Meditation, what is it? It is the presence of this awareness of Being, without this psychological background, without this model of memory, of registers of the past. To look at this instant, this moment, without conclusions, beliefs and evaluations of that which reveals itself here and now is to face what is here without the idea of what should this be, or this would have been.

We leave aside the ideal, the belief, the opinion, the judgment, the particular evaluation of thought, we abandon completely this to stay with Life, with the instant, with the moment, with that which is present here. This requires a free mind. Thus, the presence of Meditation is not someone in a certain practice of meditation or in an exercise of meditation, or whatever you consider as meditation. Meditation is simply Being, it is to look at that which is present without idea, evaluation, concept or belief.

Whether it is the presence of a thought, of a feeling, of an emotion, or the presence of him or her, or of something occurring in life, when we do not place this sensor, this "me," this "I," this element that comes from the past and that, by thoughts, conclusions, opinions and beliefs, interprets and makes conclusions, we are before the moment, without the "I," without this "me." It is when the mind and the brain quiet themselves. There is a quality of perception, of looking, of verifying the moment without this background, without this structure, without this base of egoic conditioning, of psychological conditioning. This is the presence of Meditation. When it is present, that which reveals itself here and now is the Reality of God.

Therefore, how to find God? Assuming the Reality of the moment without the idea of the "I." This is your encounter with Life, this is your encounter with God, this is your encounter with the Reality of this Being. It is not someone having this encounter; it is this Being, Life and God Revealing themselves. This requires the presence of this learning about Self-awareness, this requires the presence of the Truth of that which here I have called Real Meditation experientially, that is, moment to moment.

When we have the end of the "I," the end of the ego, the end of this movement that comes from the past, we encounter Life, we encounter the Reality of Being; and if This is present, Happiness is present, Love is present, Wisdom is present. This is the Real Realization.

It is in this that we are here, with you, working on. We have two days, Saturday and Sunday, online. So, Saturday and Sunday we are together. I want to leave here an invitation for you: You have here, in the video description, our WhatsApp link to participate in these online meetings on weekends. In addition to these online meetings, we have in-person meetings and also retreats. If what you just heard is something that makes some sense to you, here is the invitation. Leave your "like", subscribe to the channel and put here in the comments: "Yes, this makes sense." Okay? And we see each other. Thanks for the meeting and until next time!

What Is Spiritual Search? | 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 Master Speaks." In one passage of this book, he makes the following comment: "Stop looking for some good that the world will give you." Master, in this passage, Joel comments on the search. Within this subject, can the Master share his vision on what the spiritual search is?

MG: Look, Gilson, here, the old idea of ??the search is a mistake. Whether it's the search for something material or the search for something spiritual. And why is there a great mistake here? Because we are already basing ourselves on an entirely erroneous principle, on an idea of ??someone present to find something. What is the truth about this "I," this "me," this someone? Who is this element that is willing to search? And why does one search?

Would there be any search without the presence of dissatisfaction? Would you be searching for something you don't miss? Isn't your search based on the lack of what you seek, what you look for? When you're not hungry, why look for food? When there's no hunger, there's no search for food. When there's no thirst, there's not the slightest memory of water. That's because there's no dissatisfaction.

It is the presence of dissatisfaction that is the presence of the one who seeks. There is no separation between this dissatisfaction and the "I," the person. Now, we have to investigate this. What is this dissatisfaction, which is the "I"? Notice, there is no separation between dissatisfaction and the dissatisfied one. There is no separation between this "I" and dissatisfaction. Now, what can this dissatisfied one, which is the "I," seek if all they have are ideas about what they need?

Here, when we touch on this aspect of Spirituality or that which is Spiritual, we must first, before anything else, discard this idea of ??what we believe to be spiritual. What we believe to be spiritual is within the image that thought is establishing within each of us, in this dissatisfaction. Therefore, the idea of ??what will make us satisfied, of what will make us happy, is born from dissatisfaction. The image of what is spiritual is within dissatisfaction.

Therefore, we are dealing with an illusion. We must completely discard this idea. If we truly want to discover if there is something beyond this state in which we find ourselves-of incompleteness, of dissatisfaction-we must investigate the nature of the "I," the nature of this dissatisfaction, and not go in search of something that thought is imagining, projecting.

This is where we have failed. This is where we are mistaken. Therefore, all this movement of searching for the seeker, all this movement that arises from dissatisfaction, is a mistaken, erroneous movement. There is no Real purpose, or the purpose is still the purpose of this ego, of this "I."

Yes, there is a present Reality, but this Reality is beyond thought, beyond this "I," beyond this dissatisfaction. And no movement can lead you to this Reality. It is something that is already present. And all this movement of the seeker is the movement of dissatisfaction, moving towards more projections of what one imagines within thought.

The great Truth of this encounter with the Spiritual consists in the revelation of that which is Spiritual, revealing itself here and now, when there is no more illusion. And the search for this seeker is within illusion. The project, the idea, the image about the spirituality of this seeker are within illusion. What we actually need in life is the revelation of that which is truly Spiritual.

However, this will not be revealed to the "I," to the person, to the ego, to this seeker, to this one who is dissatisfied. This revelation is revealed when we investigate the nature of the "I," the nature of this dissatisfaction. Therefore, there are very misguided concepts that involve this search or quest for true spirituality. These concepts are doctrines, teachings, and lessons we receive about what spirituality means. They are constructs of thought itself, idealizations of this very dissatisfaction of the "I," of the ego.

It is when we investigate the nature of the thinker, of this seeker, of this dissatisfied one, that this illusion is discarded, which is the discarding of the continuity of the thinker, the experiencer, the seeker. Then, yes, a space is revealed. In this space, what is truly Spiritual is shown. It is not something that is spiritual for someone to become spiritual. It is something that is present here, being the Reality of this Being that is You in Your True Nature. This is Real Spirituality. It is not someone's spirituality; it is Divine Spirituality, it is the Truth of God.

Therefore, all this idea, all this belief, all this motivation, all this impulse that arises from this internal condition of pain, conflict, contradiction, fear, disappointment, which involves this existential frustration, this void, this dissatisfaction. To investigate the nature of this, to have full awareness that each and every movement of this "I," of this ego, is an even greater distancing from this Reality.

This Vision, this Comprehension, is the end of this search, the end of this seeker. That which is Real is already here when illusion is no longer present. And illusion is no longer present when Reality reveals itself. And it reveals itself when there is this clarity. Therefore, the presence of Self-awareness makes this space possible, where the Reality of this Being is revealed within it.

So, it is not about finding spirituality through the search; it is about verifying the Truth of That which is Divine, which is here and now, when illusion is no longer present. This is what we're here with you for, delving deeper with each video, with each meeting we have, online meetings and in-person meetings.

GC: Master, we have a question from a subscriber here on the channel who made the following comment: "I based my whole life on external achievements and now I feel a huge void, an anguish that doesn't go away. Why does this search for things in the world generate so much suffering?"

MG: Look, Gilson, every search is born, as we just put it, from an internal condition of incompleteness, of need, of lack, of dissatisfaction. And this search, as it is born from this state, is only the idealized projection by thought of what will make you happy. But this happiness that thought projects, as it is born from dissatisfaction, is still part of what thought identifies and projects. Therefore, it is not Real.

Thus, all this search or pursuit projected by thought in external achievements is part of frustration, it is part of this suffering. The truth is that nothing in this world will make you happy, because everything is within this context of temporary fulfillment, of achievement through affirmation of ideas created by thought itself.

Thought is the basis of dissatisfaction, and everything it projects is within it. True Life is outside of thought. It is beyond thought. Beyond thought, outside of thought, the Reality of Life is the Reality of Being. In Being there is no incompleteness, no dissatisfaction, no suffering. We are unaware of the Reality of Being, because everything we know is in "coming to be." It is all we can know, it is all we can know. It is within the model of the known, which is the model of thought.

Your Real contact with the Self, your Real contact with God, your Real contact with Life, is the Truth of Happiness revealing itself here and now, when thought is not, when all this external movement of achievement has no longer the slightest importance. However, as long as there is this impulse, this search, for envy, for ambition, for comparison, observe that this is exactly how it happens.

You, as a person, compare yourself to another who has what you imagine will make you happy. However, even having that, they remain unhappy. But you, in your mind, believe that they are happier than you. So, you compare yourself. And because of that, you want to have what others have. You want to have success, fame, public acceptance, material achievements. Because, within you, this idea of ??"becoming," of "coming to be," requires the presence of having things, of achieving things.

Thus, we are living "in this having" and "in this coming to be," completely apart from the simple Reality of Life, in Being, in embracing the beauty of contact with the moment, without ambition, without comparison, without envy, because we are living in this "I," in this ego, and it will never be happy. It is part of the structure, it is part of the nature of thought, dissatisfaction, the yearning for more, the desire to get rid of and the desire to obtain. And that is what sustains this person, and that is what sustains this "I," this idea of ??someone present. This is what sustains this movement of continuity, of lack, of insufficiency.

All kinds of psychological suffering are present in the mind, when the mind is this instrument, the instrument of this psychological model of thought. This is how we are living. This is what we comprehend or understand by life. It is the particular life of the person. Therefore, when you ask why there is so much dissatisfaction, why nothing we can achieve, accomplish, obtain, will make us happy? The basis here is very simple. None of this will make you happy, because none of this is Real. It is something that is within thought.

Reality, Truth is Happiness. This is not within thought; it is beyond the mind. Beyond this mind that has all this pattern of behavior, this mind that, as an instrument of this illusory identity, which is the "I," which, in turn, is present because of the very movement of thought... The presence of this mind is the presence of this confusion. The Reality of your Being is Divine Reality, it is the Reality of God. This is Happiness, this is Love.

That which is unattainable by thought, indescribable within the context of the known, within the context of a worldview, a vision constructed by the intellect, established by this conditioned mind-everything that is within this limitation is within this thought. It is not Real. This contact with Life is the Realization of Truth, the awareness of this Being. The presence of Love, Divine Comprehension. This is You when there is no longer the "I," when a new mind is present, a new heart, a new sense of Being, where there is no one else in this feeling. Okay.

GC: Master, we have another question from another subscriber here on the channel, who made the following comment: "Master, what is the path to finding God within myself?"

MG: When you ask here, Gilson, what is the path to finding God, and here you use the expression "within myself," let's investigate this? First of all: What is this "myself"? What is the Reality of Life? When you talk about finding God, what do we understand by God? What do we understand by this "myself"? What do you call "I," person, "me"? What do you call God? And what is meant by finding?

Isn't there an encounter between two things? Or between two people? Or a person going somewhere, having an encounter with that place? But what is this movement? Where is it present? Isn't it present in space? Isn't it between point A and point B that we find a space? Isn't this space the space that is determined to be crossed between one point and another within time? Isn't time the element? Isn't it in this movement from point A to point B that there is the presence of time?

Notice, there is no separation between this time and also this space. Is Divine Reality something that is there, at point B, to be found by you, who are at point A? You want to find God within yourself. What is this movement of encounter? What is the truth of this "I"? Is it something Real? Is it, in fact, at point A? Is this Reality of God something that is at point B? Or are we only dealing with images that thought is establishing?

But, if we can discard these thoughts, this idea of ??someone to find something that they seek or search for, what happens if we investigate the nature of this "I"? If you go deep within yourself, you realize, you become aware that this "myself," this "I," is a set of ideas, of memories, of recollections. When you use your name and tell your story, that's all you have about yourself. That yourself, therefore, is the name and the story. But what is the Reality about you? That's what we're investigating here.

Notice, is there really a separation between the Reality of what you are and the Truth of God? Or is this movement exactly a movement of distancing? I'm referring to this movement of seeking this encounter. The idea of ??an encounter presupposes this duality, this separation. Is it Real or is it established in a model of mental construct and, therefore, by thought itself? Isn't it thought that tells us things? If there were no thought, what would you know?

Observe that thought is the element that knows, that understands, that recognizes, that names. It is thought that creates the idea of ??a separation between the Reality of God to be found and someone present, which is you, to find. Investigating the Nature of the "I" requires the presence of Self-awareness. This reveals to you your Natural State of Being. This Natural State of Being is Bliss, Love, Freedom.

There is no real separation between You, in your Being, in your True Nature, and Divine Truth. Therefore, it is not about an encounter; it is about a perception, a realization. The presence of Comprehension is the vision of Life in this gaze of God, in this gaze of Being. There is no one present as an element that has a history, that has a name, that sees oneself,in relation to the other, to Life and to situations, as an element that separates oneself.

The present Reality is a Single Reality. In it, there is no such thing as the other for "me." Yes, in this context, in this dream of existence, everything is seen from the physical senses as separate objects, as different perceptions, as different experiences. But there is no such thing as a real experiencer, as a real perceiver, as someone present. It is the Totality of Life, this awareness of Being. No separation is real. To assume the Reality of your Being is to have the True encounter with God. This encounter is the awareness of Communion. This True encounter is the awareness of realization.

Here, the expression "encounter" is no longer used in this sense, "between two things, between two people, between this approach from one point to another, in this interval of space and time." It is the awareness of Life, the awareness of Being, the Real encounter with God, the Reality of this Communion with Freedom, with Love, with Truth. Okay.

GC: 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 meetings that Master Gualberto provides. These meetings are offered online, in person, and also as multi-day retreats.

These meetings are much more profound 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. 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 effort, without any practice, we enter a meditative state, silence our minds, and can have a real vision and comprehension of these issues.

So, the invitation is extended! The first pinned comment has the WhatsApp link to participate in these meetings. Also, please like the video and subscribe to the channel. And, Master, once again, thank you for the videocast.

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

Here, this direct comprehension, this real comprehension, is the presence of a perception in life where the element that separates itself to perceive is absent. And why is this essential? This is essential because, when this quality of perception is present, without this "me," this "I," this "person," life reveals itself as it is, and not as thought within us imagines.

Why is this learning about Self-awareness fundamental to going beyond this vision of duality, where there is the presence of life and our particular vision? Duality is this way of looking at life from this center. The center is the person, the "me," the "I." Is it possible to go beyond this, to a real life, free from this duality and, therefore, a life free from this old pattern of merely superficial changes that we generally cultivate and dedicate ourselves to?

We want to have changes in life, and in fact, we have these superficial changes, these peripheral changes, but life remains confused, chaotic, disordered, complicated, and burdened with problems. This happens because there is no real change, no real transformation in this center. Here, this transformation in the center is its end, it is the disappearance of this center, which is the "I," the ego.

A life where we no longer cultivate peripheral, superficial changes is a life where we are no longer maintaining, continuing this "I." This is what we are working on with you here, talking to you about a real possibility, a profound change, a significant break in this psychological condition, in this psychological structure of the "I," of the ego. Real life happens, it is present here when we are free from this center, free from this illusion.

Therefore, we have to stop nurturing this memory, stop nurturing this continuity of a model of someone in time; this present someone who "I am." When, for example, you say: "yesterday I was that, today I am this, and tomorrow I will be something else," you imagine what you will be tomorrow, you have the memory of what you once were and, at this moment, you imagine what you are.

Thus, the idea, which is the presence of thought, falsifies the reality of what you truly are. What you are, you do not know, because you are living in this principle of separation, of duality, in this idea of ??becoming, in this idea about who you were. The presence of thought is the presence of imagination. There is no thought in you without memory.

Memory is the record of past experiences that you keep, that you possess. This is in this brain structure; it is simply recollection. It is not the Truth about You, it is the truth of this "I." I would say it is the truth about you that thought has constructed, that the mind has established in this conditioning; it is not the Truth of this Being, which is the Real Nature about You, the Reality of this Being that is You.

Why have we insisted on this here? Because we need to hear a lot about it; because we spend a lot of time. The entire world structure we live in sustains in each of us this old model of belief in separation, in duality. It is God present, yet distant. Notice, God omnipresent, but distant. Observe the contradiction in our language-in our common language and in our religious language.

If Divine Reality is omnipresent, He cannot be far away, He cannot be distant, and yet we believe, through thought, that there is a present reality and it is distant from me. "I am someone now, I was someone in the past and I will be someone in the future; I will be different from what I am today, as I am different today from what I was yesterday." And parallel to this, we have the truth of God which, despite being omnipresent, is distant.

Thus, we create the belief of having an encounter with God, the thought, the imagination of one day, or at some point, having this encounter, which requires the presence of time, which requires distance between you and God. That which is real is present here as true omnipresence, this Reality being That which is eternal, That which is beyond this notion of space, that is, of distance and time.

Therefore, the question is: "How to find God?" Observe how people approach this question; It's an issue they can't resolve because they want to resolve it based on the idea that they exist as entities separate from God and that they need to have an encounter with Him, and that for this they need skill, technique, ability-what people call spiritual search, spirituality.

What people call meditation technique or practice, all of that involves the issue of someone being present in an exercise, in a practice, in a model of encounter, based on an image of a future encounter. Here we are always returning to basic matters and looking at them from new angles.

We are faced here with a not simple communication, one that requires a quality of listening from each of us that we also lack. These matters need to be investigated, and they are investigated when we listen, when we put our attention on listening. Therefore, this is fundamental. When we know how to listen, we have a direct perception of that listening.

When a bird sings and you listen, in that listening the totality of that sound is revealed, and this finds such a profound intensity when we put our attention on listening that, so that, at that moment, the individual listening to the sound disappears. There is only the singing, the bird; there is only listening to the bird. There is no one listening, there is no bird singing. It is only the singing, it is only listening. At that instant, the brain quiets down, the mind silences, and the Truth of that moment is revealed.

Therefore, this encounter with the moment here, within this context of speech, when we place ourselves to listen, is not to agree or disagree, it is not to approve or disapprove of what is being said. When we listen, the one who speaks loses importance, the one who listens loses importance; listening becomes important.

When we have this listening, because the brain has quieted, because the mind has silenced, at that moment we face a space that opens up; this space reveals the absence of separation. The revelation of the end of this separation, where only the instant is occurring, only the moment is happening, reveals That which is beyond the mind, beyond thought, beyond this model of conditioning duality. This is part of learning about ourselves, this is part of learning about Self-awareness, this is part of learning the art of being, which is Meditation.

Therefore, when the question is: "What is Meditation?" Meditation is that which is present here revealing itself in this instant as the only Reality. There is no separation between the instant of meditation and someone living this instant, the instant of Meditation and the experience of God here in Meditation. The Reality of this instant is this Divine experiencing. The Reality of Meditation is not someone experiencing it, it is the presence of this Revelation.

Notice that when we delve deeper into these questions, we begin to realize that this listening is Meditation, and that Meditation is the presence of this perception, this real encounter with God, and that this real encounter with God is not something separate from this vision of the Truth of this Being that we are, which is revealed in this learning about ourselves. And all this is within a single context; this context is the Revelation of Life here.

There is no other place but here. There is no other time, there is no such thing as yesterday or tomorrow. From a psychological point of view, we are dealing with an imagination when we speak of this yesterday and this tomorrow. Therefore, there is no other time; what we call time is, in reality, the absence of time in this now. Now, here, there is no time.

Divine Revelation, the Revelation of this encounter with God, is not someone who left this point, which is point A, for point B, which requires the presence of space, which requires the presence of time. This encounter is the Revelation of That which is present here outside of time. This Reality is the Eternal, the Indescribable, the Unnamable, the Divine Truth. Any name for this Reality is just a name, a word, an expression.

Unfortunately, we cling to words because we love having ideas; it is based on these ideas that the movement of the "I," of the ego, is sustained. This is our love for ideas; it is the love that a person actually has for their own continuity. Can we dispense with, from our lives, the idea of ??someone present who sustains themselves in this model of existing as a person because they are bound to every model of belief, conclusion-which is basically thoughts and ideas-for a new, free brain, for this contact with the instant without the need of this background of knowledge, of experience, which lives by sustaining itself in this recognition, which sustains itself in this continuity of time?

Note that this time, as we know it in thought, is psychological time, it is the time that thought has produced. So, the mind within you, this "I-mind," this egoic mind, this conditioned mind, is a product of time, because it is the result of memories, of recollections, of things that happened in the chronological past. Something happened yesterday-I'm referring to that calendar yesterday-and the brain registered it as a memory.

We are cultivating this quality of memory and thus sustaining the illusion of a present identity that lived that yesterday; this entity is inseparable from thought itself, from memory itself. But what exactly is this memory, this thought? At this moment, it is merely an imagination. Thus, this identity that arises with this memory is also part of imagination. Follow this calmly.

Life here is Divine Reality; in It, there is no such thing as you and it, you and God. It is when thought arises, creating in the imagination an identity, which is the "I" that lived that, so that illusion is present. Is it possible to have life simply happening as it is, without this need for this psychological record that sustains the illusion of a psychological identity, which is this background, this center, this ego?

Then, this moment reveals Divine Truth, the truth of God. This is the result of learning about ourselves. Then, there is a clear vision that this "me" is not real, this "I" is something that thought has fabricated, that it is sustaining, feeding, and cultivating. Life free from the "I," free from this center, free from the ego, is life free from the model of psychological time.

So, there is no longer an element here concerned with what one was or what one will be; there is no longer an element here to feel offended, sad, angry, worried, or afraid in relation to him or her. This is the end of psychological suffering, when we have the end of the "I," in this contact with life, with the other. In this very contact with the body and mind, when there is no illusory presence of an identity that manifests itself through imagination, your contact with the body, with the mind, with the other, with life is a contact free from duality, from separation.

This discovery is the realization of Life as it is. We no longer have the idea of ??what it needs to be, what it should have been, and what it will be, because we no longer have the illusion that life is separated into past, present, and future. This notion is typical of this illusory center, this ego-identity, this "I" created by imagination. What there is here, at the moment, is the presence of Life; It is the presence of this Being, It is the presence of God. You were born for this Revelation, for this Awareness.

Our online meetings here, on weekends, Saturday and Sunday, have this purpose. They are two days in an online format. I want to extend an invitation to you: You can find our WhatsApp link in the video description to participate in these online meetings. In addition to online meetings, we also have in-person meetings and retreats. If what you've just heard resonates with you, consider this your invitation. Leave a "like," subscribe to the channel, and comment below: "Yes, it makes sense." Okay? See you soon! Thanks for the meeting, and until next time!

The Art of Meditation | What Is Meditation? | Marcos Gualberto | Joel Goldsmith

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 "The Art of Meditation." In one passage of this book, Master, Joel made the following comment: "When consciousness is liberated through individual meditation, it no longer suffers the limitations of time and space." In this passage, Joel comments on liberation through meditation. Within this topic, Master, could you share Your vision on what Meditation is?

MG: The presence of Meditation involves the matter of the presence of the one who meditates. Who is this element present in meditation? It is the comprehension of this element, the clear vision of the "I," of the person. There is no true Meditation as a practice for someone-that's the great confusion. It is very common to have the idea of ??someone accomplishing something, doing something, obtaining something, or getting rid of something they don't want. That is the idea. We carry within us the sense of an identity that sees itself present here, in the present moment, sees itself active here, in this action.

Thus, when a thought is present, the idea is someone present being the author of that thought. When there is a feeling, there is someone involved in that feeling. Therefore, we are constantly sustaining the presence of the "I." The presence of the "I" is the presence of an entity that sees itself, at the moment, as the center and responsible for actions. Thus, it is an idea of ??an entity that sees itself present as the center of actions and of everything that arises around it. This center is the "I," the ego, the person.

So, what is Meditation? It is the comprehension of the "I." This is the basis for the revelation of something beyond the known, since the "I" is the presence of this mind-this mind that knows, that understands, that recognizes things. Is there an inner state free from knowledge, from knowing, from understanding? Is there a state free from separateness? It is separateness in the idea of ??someone who sees oneself separate from the present moment, someone acting, someone behaving, thinking, speaking, feeling.

This is the state we are discussing here with you. There is something present in life, the very presence of life. This Something present is the Reality of this Being, this Natural State free from the "I." This is the presence of Meditation! Your Natural State of Being, your Divine State of Being, the Reality of Being, That which is present here as life, is the presence of Bliss, of Happiness, of Love. Therefore, Meditation is your Natural State of Being when we assume the true comprehension of the "I." Therefore, we need to investigate the nature of the "I," the nature of the ego, this inclination of thought to sustain a present entity, being the thinker.

So, what is the basis for Meditation, for this Natural State of Being to flourish? The basis for Meditation is self-comprehension, it is the comprehension of the "I," it is the comprehension of this "me." When we don't have this basis, we don't have the Truth of Meditation, we have a technique, a practice, we have someone doing something-someone who, through effort, is dedicating oneself, for example, to silencing thoughts, to quieting the mind. This effort and this separation between the restless mind and the one who wants to quiet down is duality. This effort in this separation between these movements, which are the internal movements of this consciousness, which is the consciousness of the "I"-I'm referring to this present movement of thought-and someone trying to silence it, this effort is in this principle of duality. This is not real Meditation!

Here on this channel, we have several videos showing you the Truth about real Meditation, the Truth of Meditation. When people consider Meditation as a practice, they don't comprehend that the Truth of Meditation is Meditation in practice, not the practice of meditation; there's a difference! Meditation in practice is the awareness of Being, moment by moment. When we learn to observe our reactions, when we learn to go beyond these reactions, when we transcend this movement of the "I," of the ego, this transcendence is the revelation of this Natural State of Being-that is Meditation in practice. It's not a practice that will lead you to Meditation, it's the awareness of Meditation, which in a practical way reveals That which is present here, right now, as the Truth about you, as the Truth of Being.

Therefore, in these meetings, our purpose is to look at That which is present here, revealing itself moment by moment. Each meeting we have here is an invitation to look at the present moment, to listen to the present moment, to this revelation of the Reality of now. This is the Truth of Meditation, this is the Truth of Being. Another important aspect is that it is not about a result that is achieved, attained, or obtained. Any result that is achieved, that is obtained, will be lost. at some point it will disappear. Because the very effort and the very element dedicated to that effort, towards that result, the result and that element are inseparable.

Thus, this result, as an effort of this "I," is still a continuation of this "I." Therefore, the "I" remains present, this sense of ego remains present, and if it is present, confusion is present, suffering is present, illusion remains. Real contact with life is the presence of Meditation, and this is present when the "I" no longer exists, when there is no longer illusion. This is not a result that is achieved; this is the awareness of life revealing itself at this instant, at this moment. Therefore, when we touch upon the issue of Meditation here, we are pointing to something outside the known, to something outside the mind, outside the "I," outside results, outside any effort, intention, motive, or practice.

What is needed here is Attention to our reactions, and it requires no effort; it requires looking, listening effortlessly, to each and every moment here, to each and every instant here, whatever that is revealing itself here at the moment, at the instant-looking, listening is something that reveals the Truth. There is no such thing as the future or the past. This whole structure of the future and past is the structure of memory. Observe how simple it is: You have no future without the idea of ??the future, and you have no past without the memory of what has already been, of what has already happened. What has already been, what has already happened, here and now, is only memory. It is not the past, it is remembrance.

Therefore, there is no such thing as the past or the future. All of this requires investigation, deep and direct comprehension. This is the Awakening of Wisdom, the Awakening of a vision free from time, in this true Divine awareness, in this true awareness of God. This awareness is the Reality of Meditation.

GC: Master, regarding the topic of Meditation, we have a question from a subscriber here on the channel: "Master, my mind gets trapped in worries about the future and regrets from the past. How can I meditate like this?"

MG: Gilson, linking Meditation to anything else is completely false. Meditation is not a technique or practice to rid yourself-as implied in the question-of the past or the future. We approach Meditation in a direct, simple, real, and true way when we investigate the nature of time. What is the Truth about time? What you call "past" or "future," as we've always presented to you in all these speeches, is something that thought engenders, establishes, constructs, and sustains. Because there is no such thing as the past, except for the presence of a memory, a recollection of something that occurred or something you heard or read about, but we are only dealing with thoughts, ideas, images, mental representations.

Therefore, what we call the "past" is memory, it is recollection arising here, at this instant. At this instant there is no past; at this instant what we have is life as it is, as it happens, and part of what happens is happening now as a memory. So, what you call the "past" is the memory of what has already been, and what you call the "future" is the imagination of what will be. But notice, what will be is not real now, and what happened is not real now. Therefore, there is no such thing as the past or the future.

So, what we have here is not yet the present. When you use the word, the expression "present," what exactly are you talking about? By the time you've just used the expression "present," it's already gone. Now it's just a memory. Then, when we use the "present" between the past and the future, we are dealing with an illusion, an abstraction, a model of construct from thought to maintain the continuity of an illusion, which is the illusion of someone who is the person. This sense of person came from the past, is going to the future, and passing through the present. There is no such thing as the past, the present, and the future; just as there is no such thing as someone present being the person.

There is no person; what we have at this moment is life revealing itself, and the revelation of life at this moment is the presence of Meditation. It is not Meditation for someone, it is Meditation when the person does not exist, when the past, present, and future do not exist. Thus, the idea of ??getting rid of the past or the future to meditate is an illusion! It is the comprehension that there is no past, that there is no future, that there is no present; it is the vision of the moment revealing itself, without the idea of ??time, the Presence of Being. The thing is that we are constantly, Gilson, in the idea of ??becoming, of achieving, of obtaining things in the future. Or, if I am in discomfort here and now, the idea is to get rid of it, of this thing, in the future.

Therefore, winning or losing, obtaining or getting rid of, is something for the future, but only in the imagination of thought, because there is no such thing as the future. It is the comprehension of the moment, of what is revealed here and now, the liberation from time. This time is the time that thought has established, that thought has been sustaining, and placing a present identity moving within it, between what was and what will be. Real life is free from time because it is free from the "I," free from the ego.

Therefore, there is nothing more important in life than the comprehension of Meditation, and the comprehension of Meditation naturally flourishes when there is no longer illusion, when there is no longer this idea, this thought, this motive that excites this sense of "I" for the future, that puts this idea of ??a thinker having ideas, having memories, having imaginations. If this is eliminated, Divine awareness reveals itself. This Divine awareness is the presence of Meditation. Part of this awareness consists of comprehending the Truth about yourself. To know oneself is to approach this moment in a real way.

Thus, we have the elimination of illusion, the elimination of this illusory center, this false center that is the person, that is the ego.

GC: Master, we have another question from another subscriber here on the channel, who made the following comment: "Master, what is the first step to Meditation?"

MG: Gilson, once again we come across a misconception: it's the idea of ??someone wanting to meditate, it's the idea of ??a person trying to learn to meditate. Learning to Meditate involves something different; it doesn't involve steps to Meditation-that would imply the presence of someone for the practice, someone using a system, a method. Learning Meditation means embracing the Truth of investigating the nature of the "I." It's like learning about ourselves, it's like learning about Self-awareness. It's not someone exercising this learning, it's the investigation of the nature of this someone, of this "I," that constitutes the real learning.

Therefore, learning about Self-awareness is the foundation for learning Meditation. Learning about Self-awareness is becoming aware of untruth, the untruth of the person, the untruth of the "I," or this truth about the "I," this truth about the person. The truth about the person, the truth about the "I," is that the "I" does not exist, this person does not exist, and you become aware of this here and now, when you learn to look at your reactions without interfering with them. When you are involved with thoughts, seeing yourself as someone separate from those thoughts, being the author of thoughts, you are sustaining an old model of existence, a pattern of conditioning, of behavior, which is the idea of ??a thinker thinking.

When you are involved with a feeling, seeing yourself as someone in that feeling, the old way of feeling it is standardized within a conditioning, because that's how, as human beings, in this personal consciousness, in this consciousness of the "I," we are feeling, we are thinking, and we are acting. But we are investigating with you precisely this: this illusion! The illusion of a separation between the one who feels and the feeling, between the one who thinks and thought, between the one who takes action and action. Therefore, the real way to learn Meditation, to learn Self-awareness, consists in looking at our reactions, becoming aware of them without getting involved with them.

This way we discard this separation, this illusion between the "I" and the "non-I," between the thinker and thought, between this element that sees itself separate from feeling and the feeling itself, between this element that sees itself as the author of actions and actions happening. Therefore, the Beauty of an encounter with Truth lies in the revelation of Meditation, and Meditation flourishes when there is comprehension in this learning about ourselves. Thus, there is no separation between Meditation and Self-awareness, between Self-awareness and this learning Meditation, between this learning at every instant. Looking at this moment reveals this learning.

In life, we have the beautiful and extraordinary opportunity for a real encounter with the moment, without the "I," without the ego, without the person. However, we know nothing about this, precisely because we know everything in order to be someone. Our lives have been constantly guided and established by this idea-the idea of ??the "I," the idea of ??being someone, in this knowing. We are living within the known, within knowledge, within all the records we keep within ourselves, which are memory, the past, recollection, the remembrance. Yes, because that is what we call the past: recollection, memory, remembrance. Can we discard this for this real encounter with the moment?

So, yes, we encounter the revelation of Meditation. Then, yes, we face Bliss, Happiness, Love, the Freedom of Being. This is the Divine Presence, this is the presence of God. It is not someone present, but the Reality of God present; it is not someone having an encounter with God, it is the Reality of God revealing itself at this moment. It is the presence of God revealing itself when there is no longer the "I." That's what we are here with you, deepening in these encounters.

GC: Thank you, Master, our time is up. Thank you for another videocast. And, for those of you who watched the videocast to the end and truly wish to learn this Art of Meditation, we invite you to participate in the intensive weekend meetings that Master Gualberto offers. In these meetings, something much deeper happens than in 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, Power, and Grace. And, in these meetings, we end up taking a ride in the Master's field of Presence. And, taking a ride with the Master, without any practice, without any technique, we enter this State of Meditation, quiet our minds, and can have a real comprehension of the subjects 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, please like the video, subscribe to the channel, and Master, once again, thank you for the videocast.
