The Contemplative Life | The Observer And The Observed | 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 Contemplative Life." In one passage of this book, Joel Goldsmith makes the following comment: "Always, our salvation lies in this capacity to depersonalize, to live spiritually instead of personally." In this passage, Master, Joel talks about this capacity to depersonalize. Within these topics, can you share your vision about the observer and the observed?

MG: The answer to that question requires a look, a direct seeing or perceiving of ourselves as we are functioning. Unless you directly become aware of how your mind is working, we will remain trapped within a program, a way of observing, without the awareness of what that represents.

We have a way of looking from the perspective of someone who is looking. Our belief, the old belief we have, is that, in looking, there is someone looking: someone exists looking. We firmly believe that we are present as someone who looks, someone who observes, someone who interacts, someone who feels, someone who thinks, someone who speaks. Our belief is the belief in the separation between the observer and the observed, between the thinker having their thoughts, the experiencer living their experiences.

Here, for example, we have someone speaking and someone listening. We have sound and listening. Note that this is very reasonable from the point of view of a superficial view; but, looking directly, within a perspective of reality, every experience is never separate from the one who experiences it. Or it wouldn't be an experience. You can't tell me about an experience you haven't experienced.

Thus, it is the presence of the experience and of someone. This is separation. But what is the reality of experience? The reality of experience is not this separation. The reality of experience consists of experiencing. You cannot separate the one who is in the experience from the experience they are having. These two things, in reality, are one and the same. It is the presence of experiencing.

Thus, from the perspective of reality, life happens like this: within an experiencing. There is no one who is separate from life. Life is an experiencing where there is no "I" and "non-I"; where there is no experiencer and experience; where there is no observer and what one observes. This appears when thought arises telling what it has lived. When you tell me about something you saw, you are telling me about a past experience, a memory, a remembrance, a recollection. This speech is born from thought.

Thought, in us, is the element that creates this separation, that creates this division between the observer and the observed thing, the experiencer and the experience, because what we have present is only the experience. And the experience is in experiencing. One cannot speak of an experience without experiencing. Our constant emphasis consists of this stubborn vision we have of someone who is present being the experiencer, being the thinker, being the observer.

The Truth of a real contact with Life is a contact in experiencing, in observing, in perceiving, in listening, in feeling, but there is no one present in it. Unless thought arises to report something that has been lived; that means, to speak of an experience that thought has recorded, that it has experienced.

Note, Gilson, that this comprehension is fundamental, because it frees you from the illusion that life is separate from you; that the other is separate from you; that a thought, when it arises in your brain, is something separate from you; that a feeling, when it arises in the body, is something separate from you; and that there is this separation between you and this experience. What is present is the experiencing of a feeling, an emotion, a thought, a perception, an observation. But there is no "I," there is no ego.

And why does this become fundamental? This is essential, fundamental, because it liberates, releases the idea of ??someone present, separate from the moment, separate from what is here, at this instant, revealing itself. Be it a memory, a feeling, a sensation, a perception, observation. Contact with Life is in Love, in Peace, in Freedom. But we are unaware of the Truth about Love, Peace, and Freedom when we are living through this separation.

When, as someone, as an entity that separates itself from the present moment, we look at what is being revealed here from the perspective of this observer. In doing so, we like some things and dislike others. We don't know how to deal with life as it happens because we are looking at life from the observer's perspective, naturally making choices. And this sustains, in this separation, conflict, suffering, this liking and disliking, wanting and not wanting.

We don't know how to make direct contact with the present moment, whether it's one of pleasure or pain. Thus, we become slaves to the interpretation that thought gives to that moment. It does this because of the idea that it creates about this thinker. Therefore, for an experience, the experiencer; for a thought, the thinker; for an emotion, the one who feels; for a perception, the one who perceives. And so we are constantly living this illusion: the illusion of separation.

This is what, here on the channel, we have called duality. We have to investigate the truth about non-duality, the Advaita vision, of non-separation. The Reality of Life is non-dual. Truth is non-dual. We cannot have contact with Truth, contact with Reality, from thought. Thought is the basic element of the mind as we know it, of the mind we are living in.

Here, together, investigating this is fundamental to going beyond the mind, beyond thought. And thus, contact with the instant reveals the quality of experiencing Life as it happens, without anyone involved in it. Your Natural State of Reality, of Truth, is this State of Being; In it is present that which God is, that which Love represents, that which Freedom means. Therefore, a mind free from thought is a quality of perceiving, of seeing, of feeling, without the "I," without the ego, without this illusion of separation.

The various conflicts we have are present because of this duality. Is a life free from fear, resentment, bitterness, rancor, pain, and loneliness possible? Is a life free from anxiety, depression, and anguish possible? Your Natural State of Being, non-dual, is Divine Reality, it is contact with that which is outside the ego, outside the "I." This is the presence of observing, perceiving, and feeling directly, without thought and, therefore, without the past.

GC: Master, we have a question from a subscriber here on the channel, who made the following comment: "I suffer a lot from criticism and feel like a failure. How can I get rid of this self-image?"

MG: So, Gilson, the presence of this self-image is the presence of this observer, this thinker. It is the life of the one experiencing. Look, we have the experiencing, but there is not someone to experience it. That someone to experience it, is the experiencer. Getting rid of this self-image is having a direct comprehension, it is having a close, intimate view of this whole process, which is the process of thought. Realizing that thought is the element that, when it arrives, approaches from memory, from the past. Every reference in it, every reference of it, are records of recollections.

We need to realize this directly: that we are having a memory of this person; it is not the person who is here, but the memory, the recollection of what we lived with them, of what we went through. It is the recollection, it is the memory. We need to be aware of this. When you become aware that this resentment, this hurt, this sadness, the presence of this pain that you have when you are in front of this or that person, is just a recollection within you about him or her.

It is essential to have direct contact with this moment of experiencing, without separating yourself from it. When you separate yourself, that's when you create this self-image. Thus, in this self-image, there is the illusion of someone-which is you-and the other, who causes you pain, who causes you hurt, who is creating this state of resentment, sadness, and grief. Direct attention to this reaction eliminates this separation between you and him or you and her. If we don't have this separation, we no longer have the self-image.

That is direct contact with experiencing this state. Then, it dissolves. Now, at this moment, you are no longer feeding the illusion of separation, the illusion of this self-image, of this ego-identity. And, when you no longer feed this because of this attention, this observing, this perceiving, this directly feeling this, it ends.

Gilson, this new vision, this unprecedented perception, this unique clarity is fundamental. The vision of this moment, in this contact with the other, without self-image, is when, in this contact-because there is no longer this separation-there comes the presence of communion. A life without enemies is also a life without friends. A life without loved ones is a life without heartbreaks. A life without friendships and enmities between people I "like" and people I "dislike."

Our real contact with the moment is contact with life as it appears, as it arises. But, in general, we have been cultivating the illusion of a present identity for a long time, which is the person we are. We are living within a pattern of specialness. It is as if every present experience would be for "me." I see myself as the center of events.

Thus, all events must revolve around what "I" want or don't want, what "I" like or don't like, what "I" accept or don't accept. So, "I" live in my choices, desires, preferences, acceptances, and rejections. It is the pattern of psychological behavior in "me" that positions me in life as an element that is the center of events. Thus, our pattern of behavior is that of a conditioned mind, of a brain trapped in this reference pattern.

The reference is the person that "I" am, it is what "I" prefer to feel, "I" prefer to perceive, "I" prefer to choose. This is conditioning. Letting go of this is going beyond the ego, it is going beyond this center that separates itself, for a contact with life without the "I," without the ego. This gives you Real Freedom: A free brain, a free mind, a free heart, to contact with the present moment, in a direct experience of each instant, without the past.

Your true encounter with Truth, your true encounter with Freedom is the encounter with the Divine, it is the encounter with the Self, this is what we are working on with you here: a Life free from the "I," free from the ego, free from this self-image.

GC: Master, we have another question from another subscriber here on the channel, who made the following comment: "Master, is it through mindfulness that we can decondition our mind?"

MG: Gilson, the presence of a gaze at this instant... that is where the answer lies. Looking at this instant requires Attention to what arises here. This Attention eliminates that element that separates itself to make choices, to judge the present moment, to compare what is arising here with something it saw in the past. Thus, we eliminate the illusion of a present identity when we place Attention on our reactions. Therefore, the presence of this Mindfulness, this Attention without choice, this Attention without the past, eliminates the element that arises from the past.

The element that arises from the past is the presence of memory in this form of recollection, which is thought. It is the presence of thought that brings the thinker. This one that emerges as a censor, approving, disapproving, accepting, rejecting, liking, disliking. It becomes fundamental, Gilson, in life, to comprehend ourselves, to comprehend all this movement of thought, which gives structure to this thinker, which is the "I."

Your real contact with the moment is the elimination of the continuity of the past. Our old model, our habitual model of contact with the moment, is based on memories. On a certain level, recognition, the use of memory-that is, of recollections-is fundamental; but on another level, it is something completely problematic, which is producing all kinds of situations, complications, disorder, and suffering.

My contact, for example, with you, is not real when what "I" have about you is something beyond your name and the memory of your face. When "I" bring to this encounter the pleasant and unpleasant memories that "I" lived with you, these memories settle here, in this "I," in this "me." It is the presence of thought that sustains this game of separation between this "me," this "I," and you. In this separation, conflict is established. I am not in direct contact with you at this moment. I am in contact with the memory that "I" have about you. This separates us, divides us.

We have been in this game throughout our lives. All the people you know, you don't just have their name and face, the direct and simple memory of them; you have an image of them, an idea, a mental construct, a model of liking or disliking them. In fact, in this liking or disliking, there is this projection, which is the projection of your own "I," of your own ego within these relations.

Observe the implications of this. We never come into direct contact with him or her. We are always, in this contact, in a separation. Because it is not a real contact; it is a contact between images. People are images. Can we have a life free of images for contact with him or her, without the past? Without his or her past, without the idea, here, of who he or she is. Notice, we are facing an illusion, a construct of thought. Eliminating the psychological model of being someone, of being this "I," this person here... that puts an end to the illusion of the person there.

Our real contact with life is not with people, it is not with images established in us by thought. Our real contact with life is contact with the totality of Life as it is. This includes them. It includes the other. So, this image that we call a person needs to disappear. What there is in life are human beings: he or she, the husband, the wife, the children.

The idea of ??someone being present based on the representations that "I" have is entirely false. It is grounded in this illusory foundation, which is this very "I" here. This "I" does not exist here. This is the great revelation of Life when there is no more illusion. When your Natural State of Being flourishes, the other, Life, events... everything is this one present Reality, the presence of Truth.

Therefore, a Life in Love requires comprehending him or her, discarding the illusion about him or her. However, this begins here, in this Self-awareness, in discarding the illusion of the "I," of the ego itself. This is what we are here, together, deepening for comprehension.

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 weekend meetings that Master Gualberto provides.

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 Power, Energy, and Grace.

And, in these meetings, we end up being "carried" by this field of Presence of the Master. And, by being carried by Master, in a natural way, without any effort, without practice, and without technique, we enter the Meditative State, silence our minds, and can have a Real Comprehension of the subjects that are discussed here on the channel.

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

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

Can we find this source by ourselves? Here the expression is "Happiness." Can we find this perennial source of Bliss, Joy, Love, and Freedom, which we call Happiness, within ourselves? Because, notice, in truth, this is what we seek, without knowing that we seek.

In all our relations, in all our contacts, in everything we do, this motive is present-??whether we are aware of it or not; we are searching for Love, Joy, Bliss, Peace, and Happiness. And we do this by seeking things, things that we end up accumulating externally, and things that we also accumulate in our minds and hearts, such as relationships and various kinds of knowledge.

All this with the purpose of finding an inner state of Happiness. We want to find a safe space, free from suffering; we want to find this endless source of Presence, Truth, and Freedom. But notice that we don't find it, neither outside nor within ourselves, in these emotional and sentimental achievements, in these internal accomplishments of knowledge and experiences, whether physical, emotional, or so-called spiritual.

Therefore, the question is: Can we, by ourselves, become aware of this, of this source, where these waters are present? The water of Love, Happiness, Peace, Joy. Why is this hidden from us? It seems we are always chasing something that doesn't exist. It's like someone chasing a ghost; it seems we never have the real thing. It's like chasing a ghost. We are dealing with something that seems to be there, somewhere, but we can't find it.

In my view, what we lack is, in fact, the awareness of a Divine Life; this requires a real, religious vision. Not what people out there understand as religious life or vision, in spirituality, or spiritual. Here we are working on this with you, promoting this vision. Yes, in fact, it is something that can lead us to that source. Or rather, it is something that will show us the presence of that source.

It seems that here we already meet the first fundamental point to be comprehended: We believe that that source is there, somewhere. You cannot pursue the Truth, you will not find the Truth. You cannot pursue That because it is not there fleeing from you; you cannot find That because it is not separate from the Reality of Life, which is present here as the Reality of your Being.

Thus, this source will not be found; it will reveal itself, it will show itself, it will make itself perceived. It is something that arises in our lives as the presence of the Truth that is already present. However, this requires a change, a transformation, it requires work, because that is what makes the Revelation of this State possible; and this is something that depends on a deep comprehension of the Truth about ourselves.

It is not a progressive process, like climbing a ladder or doing a climb. It is not a progression, it is not a step-by-step process. This doesn't depend on any method. This change happens here and now; it's total, it arises from clarity, from perception, from this vision. This transformation is the awareness of this Real Divine Life.

Here the question is: How to find God? The answer is: That which is present here awakens when there is this Divine Flourishing, the Awakening of Intelligence, of Wisdom, and this requires the presence of Self-awareness. Therefore, learning about Self-awareness gives us the basis for the Divine Flourishing, which is the presence of this Intelligence that gives us this vision, which is the vision of God.

Therefore, how to find God? By assuming the Reality of Being, having the realization of the Truth about yourself, here, at this moment, which requires this learning about yourself, learning about you. You know many things in life; in fact, everything you know, you have learned. Life consists of relations happening. Relations are contacts where there is a constant learning of things.

We are constantly learning something, improving, and perfecting ourselves in what we already know or believe we know. But this knowledge is still little; it keeps growing. We learn everything in life and are growing in that learning process. But here we are referring to a new kind of learning, a quality of learning different from anything we know outside about learning.

To learn to drive, you practice driving; to learn a language, you practice grammar and conversation; to learn music, you practice with an instrument in your hands and with the sheet music right there in front of you, so you learn to read and acquire instrumental technique. Here, the awareness of this new learning requires this looking, this listening, this observing. These are the three things: looking, listening, observing.

Looking without anyone interfering with that gaze. And why is this fundamental, this quality of looking like this? Because in this quality of looking, in this learning, in this way of learning about ourselves, in this learning about Self-awareness, in this quality of looking, the observer does not exist. When we introduce the observer, we introduce the "I," the ego, the person, this "me." And when it looks, it looks judging, comparing, accepting, rejecting, liking, disliking. That is not looking; it is observing from the observer's perspective.

When you look at something from the perspective of the one who looks, at that moment, that gaze is adjusted to the will, the desire, the wish of the one who looks. From that moment on, what is being shown there, is seen by an observer who is interpreting, who accepts, who rejects, who likes, who dislikes. That is how we deal with life's experiences, always from the perspective of an experiencer. This experiencer is the "I," the ego.

Thus, what we are experiencing as an experiencer is part of the experiencer himself, just as what we are seeing from the observer's perspective is part of the observer. When we do this, we are perpetuating the "I," the ego, and this does not allow us the truth of learning about our reactions.

Therefore, the truth of looking is looking without the "I," without the observer; the truth of listening is listening without someone to agree or disagree with, to like or dislike. There is the presence of listening, the presence of observing, but there is not the one who listens nor the one who observes.

Therefore, what is this learning about ourselves? It is perceiving this game. It is simply perceiving, without interfering. Then, when this occurs, the mind silences, the brain quiets, and at that moment, something beyond the "I," beyond the ego, beyond the experiencer, beyond the observer, beyond this "I" that listens, is revealed. And thus, in this learning about ourselves, we encounter the presence of Meditation.

We have numerous videos here, and we are presenting this proposal from different angles: the reality, the truth, the awareness of Meditation. Meditation, what is it? What is Meditation? It is listening, it is looking, it is observing, without the observer, without the one who listens, without the one who looks. That is, the approach of learning about our reactions immediately brings us closer to this awareness that reveals something beyond the mind itself. I am referring to this conditioned mind, this egoic consciousness, this consciousness of the "I."

So, Meditation is not something that someone does; it is something that is present when this "someone," this "me," this "I," is not there to interfere, to get involved. Therefore, it is about an internal state where the mind is silent and the brain is quiet, not because the mind has been quieted, not because the brain has been silenced. It is not the silence or stillness of a mind that has adjusted to a system, a practice, or a technique. It's not the silence or stillness of a brain that has adjusted to a practice, a method, a system. It's something that occurs naturally when we learn to look without the observer. That is the presence of Meditation.

When there is the presence of Meditation, there isn't a meditator, someone in a practice. Meditation in practice is the awareness of Being, without the "I," without the ego, without this "me." Therefore, we have to investigate this calmly, we have to approach the truth about these reactions, without interfering with them. See, we are not dealing with something so simple.

Throughout our lives, the idea of ??being someone- someone thinking, someone feeling, someone speaking, someone listening, someone doing - is very strong. We have a clear feeling, a clear certainty of the existence of someone present here, because thought brings us the conviction. Thought has formed the image in you, established the idea in you and, therefore, the conclusion of an identity that likes, dislikes, accepts, rejects. A present entity, the thinker, who has thoughts, feelings, sensations, and emotions. Whereas, in reality, life as it unfolds encompasses all of that, but there is no one present.

There is no one present in life as it happens, which represents only an experiencing, when the "I" is not there, when the idea of ??an identity, which is this thinker, is not. So, what is this real encounter with God? It is the encounter with Life as it is. Here, all the difficulty we have lies in the illusion of someone for whom life is happening or should happen in this way or that other way.

You never question the fact that, in looking, there is only seeing what the brain witnesses, perceives through the eyes. Your belief, the common belief we receive from this culture, from this model of mental conditioning, is that someone is present behind the eyes. Yes, when we have the idea of ??someone being present, there is the illusion of an identity that likes or dislikes, that names, that has a history, a memory about it. But the fact is: what is present there, is only a verification, an observation.

This element, which is the "I," does not exist unless thought arises to say something, to draw conclusions, to take positions, to make choices, to like or dislike. All of this stems from this psychological model of being someone, which is mere mental conditioning, a common belief, a belief, a feeling, a sensation, something very strong that brings you this conviction.

Is life as it happens possible without the presence of this "I"? In other words, life, at this moment, showing itself as it is, without anyone to draw conclusions, to evaluate, to believe, to accept or reject, to like or dislike, to accept as real or false?

Our model of a person is the model of someone who looks from this psychological background. This prevents us from having that real contact with God, which is contact with Life, something possible when the "I" is not present. So, there is contact, there is communion, but it is not the communion or contact of someone. It is not someone having an experience with God, it is experiencing life as it is, and then it reveals, yes, this Happiness.

Happiness is not what thought imagines, projects, idealizes and seeks in its achievements; it is not in external achievements nor in internal achievements. The truth about Happiness is that Happiness is the awareness of Being. This awareness of Being is the Divine Presence, it is Real Consciousness, it is That which is present here beyond the "I," beyond the ego.

This is what we're working on with you in these online meetings we have on weekends, Saturday and Sunday- two days together. I want to extend an invitation to you; it's an opportunity to investigate this closely. Besides the online weekend meetings, we also have in-person meetings and retreats. If what you've just heard makes sense to you, here's an invitation. Leave a "like," subscribe to the channel, and comment: "Yes, this makes sense." Okay? See you soon. Thanks for the meeting and until next time!

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.
