Psychic suffering | Human suffering | Psychological time | How to deal with an injured ego?

Present here, in these meetings, we find ourselves with an opportunity to investigate these issues, which are the ones relating to this "I." This "I" is synonymous with person: the person you think you are, the person you feel you are, the person others are seeing when they deal with you, feeling when they deal with you and also with themselves - that's the person.

The expression "person" is interesting. We talk about this person we are, as if, in fact, that's the whole reality about us. We talk like this because we don't know the Truth. The word "person" comes from the Latin persona, a mask. Those masks used in the theater are those personas, hence the words "personality" or "person." So, what is the truth about you? That's what we're investigating with you here.

There is a Reality present and there is a truth showing itself. The truth showing itself is the person, it's the mask, it's that character. While a present, unknown Reality is also here. Our work together here consists of this verification of this Reality, but it requires investigating the truth, the truth that we are as people. All our work here, in this context, in all the speeches here on the channel, as well as in online and face-to-face meetings, consists of investigating these issues relating to this "person."

It's quite interesting the comprehension of the Truth about us, because it represents the end of psychic suffering. Since all suffering in the human being, this human suffering... I'm not talking about physical pain due to illness; yes, that's a form of suffering, but that's not what we're dealing with here. Here, we are investigating the truth of the person, which is the nature of that "I," what we are because we show ourselves to be, because it is present here, at this instant.

The direct vision of this person, the direct comprehension of this character, is the end of this illusory entity present as a mask. We also have a way of representing life through images, mental representations, symbols, ideas and concepts. The whole approach we have to life in this format, based on this mask, based on this character, is a mistake. We find ourselves inside an illusion.

The way we represent life, seeing what life represents for this "me," for this "I," for this "person" - here we are before synonyms; life as it represents, what it means, the truth about it, seen from this thought present in us, is a look from these images, these symbols, these ideas. Here, together, we are investigating the issue of the Awakening of Consciousness.

And why the expression "the Awakening of Consciousness"? This Awakening of Spiritual Consciousness, of this Divine Consciousness, of this Consciousness of Being, is contact with the Reality of Life, without images, without masks. This is what puts us into life without any separation between what we really are, which is this Reality, which is present and remains hidden, and Life itself. That's what we're here with you to investigate, to deepen.

We need to comprehend what we are because that represents the end of this human suffering, this psychic suffering. A basic element in this model of thought present in us, which brings about these symbols, these mental representations, these ideas, these concepts, these images, is the presence of time. We're not dealing with life at this moment, we're dealing with thinking about life at this moment.

We are living from symbols, from representations of ideas, and this places us in a movement, in contact with this instant, from thought. Thus, the truth about thought, the comprehension of thought, the perfect vision of the place of thought in our lives is fundamental, since thought is an element present here, which comes from the past, and that past is in time.

The experiences you've been through are recorded experiences, settling in a remembrance, in a memory; that memory is thought. Thus, how do you deal with thought? - that's the question. Why do we need to know our thoughts? Because the thought in us is the element that sustains this time, this time that is the time created by it. Notice that what we know as time is thought.

When you tell me something that happened, it happened in time, but that time is not separate from thought. There would be no event to remember without the presence of thought; and there would be no past without the idea of what was, of what happened. Therefore, the presence of time is the presence of thought.

Our psychological life is a life in disorder, in confusion, in conflict, in contradiction, because we are living in time. Either we are dealing with the past or we are dealing with the future. So, from a psychological point of view, thought is time. There is no psychological time without the presence of thought, and when thought arises, it arises in that time.

As long as we don't eliminate from our lives this element, which is time, which is always involved in what was or what might be, in what would have been and what will be, we will continue in some kind of conflict, disorder, confusion and suffering, because the presence of time is the presence of the imagination of what was and what will be. Follow this closely here.

When you feel fear, it's the presence of thought. It's the thought that tells you something that could happen to you, bad for you. Without the presence of thought, there would be no future. Thus, the presence of time is the presence of thought; the presence of thought, the presence of time is the presence of suffering. It's suffering that thought creates, it's suffering that thought projects, it's thought that places the presence of that person in that context of that moment in the future.

What exactly is that person? That person is a mental representation, that person is an idea. There is no such person here, right now. In order for that person to appear, thought must appear. The thought is, in you, exactly the idea of this character. When I ask you your name, your name is not you. When I ask you your age, your age is not you, your story is not you. When I ask you how you feel, that feeling is not you, that emotion is not you. Only when the thought arises, in the idea of someone present, that you arise: you in feeling that feeling, that emotion, you in thinking that thought. The idea, the image, the mental representation, all this in us is the presence of this psychic life, this psychological consciousness.

This psychological consciousness is the consciousness of the movement of thought. There is no consciousness of the person without thought in motion. This movement of thought is a belief established in you, by thought, about who you are. As we are constantly dealing in life with experiences from thought, all this reading we have is that person's particular reading. This is the self-centered life of the "ego," the "I," the "me."

When you love me, I feel happy; when you reject me, I feel unhappy: this is where psychological suffering is present. Anguish, stress, anxiety, depression, fear, worry, the pain of rejection, all these elements are present because of the presence of thought. This is our psychic life, this is psychic suffering, this is the suffering of the "I," of the "ego."

Is there a Reality present - and this is what we're saying to you here: yes, there is a Reality present - beyond this "truth" that we are, in this context of the thought model? It is the awareness of this Reality, it is the Truth about your Being, about your Essential Nature, which is the Truth about God, which is the Awakening of this Consciousness. I refer to the new Consciousness, not this psychic consciousness, not this consciousness of thought, not this egocentric consciousness.

The Awakening of this Real Consciousness is the end of that "me," that "I." That person is the ego. How do you deal with a sad, bored, upset person? How do you deal with an injured ego? Notice, our intention is to help someone or get rid of a problem, because that person in that state is going to harm me, is already harming me. How to deal with the injured ego? First, I don't understand that I am this "ego," but I see the ego in the other person. I want to learn how to deal with the other person's "ego," and I do not comprehend that what I am needs to be investigated and, of course, discarded through this comprehension, through this clear vision of the truth about thought.

Here we are, with you, working out the end to thinking, the end to this condition of thinking, which I have called psychological thinking. We need practical, objective thinking to deal with matters in this dream of existence, such as professional matters, such as matters based on knowledge and experience, to deal with practical matters in this dream of life. But we don't need psychological thinking, that which shapes this person, this image.

That element in you that is offended, hurt, saddened, annoyed and upset is the presence of the person, it's the presence of that self-image - that element in you that worries about suffering losses when offend, hurt, or harm others. Can we free ourselves from the illusion of this ego-identity? Can we discover life free of the "I," free of this illusion of separation?

A direct work in this direction is to learn to look at oneself: that is the work. To learn about ourselves, to learn how we function, to learn how this sense of "I" is formed, to see the basis, the structure of this ego-identity, to see that this element is present because we are inattentive to this instant, to this moment. We are always responding to this moment based on these memories, these recollections, these remembrances, going on with this sense of "I," this "me," sustaining the illusion of time - this mental time, this psychological time. This is how we maintain the continuity of this way of being someone.

There is something present here, beyond the ego, to be comprehended, to be experienced. This is the Realization of Awakening, this is the Realization of God, this is the Awareness of your Being. These meetings we have here on weekends, Saturdays and Sundays, have this purpose: to work on this together, to look at this. Thus, we have two days of meetings here online, where we work with you on this vision. Here, in the description of the video, is our WhatsApp link to get closer to these online meetings on weekends. Apart from these meetings, we also have face-to-face meetings and retreats. If this makes any sense to you, go ahead, leave your "like" here, subscribe to the channel and say in the comments: "Yes, this makes sense" OK? And we'll see you. Thanks for meeting us and see you next time!

How do I get rid of problems? A life free from this ego. Psychological conditioning. Egoic mind.

Our way of seeing life is from points of view, ideas, concepts, beliefs, perspectives of thought. This is a programmed way of dealing with experience, with the experience of this instant, with the experience of this moment. So, when you come and ask: "How do I get rid of problems? Is a life free of problems possible?" When you ask this question, comprehend something here: as long as your vision is from a pre-ordained model of thought, you will not be able to deal with Life as it happens.

In general, our way of approaching life is based on this model, this old model of the "I," this old model from the past. Thus, this way is the conditioned way of dealing with situations. There is a psychological conditioning present in each one of us. The way you see life, from a philosophical, spiritual, mystical, religious, political, social, family tradition perspective, all of this is the presence of the model of thought.

So, we have a mind that is stuck in a way of seeing things: that is the conditioned mind, in this mental conditioning, in this psychological conditioning. Thus, the truth about a conditioned mind is the presence of the egoic mind because all this behavior in us, from this particular view of images, symbols, thoughts, ideas and beliefs, this quality of action is not real.

In life, either we assume action - and this assumed action is the awareness of the truth about life as it is - or all this action in us is mere egoic activity, is mere egocentric activity. Thus, we can't get rid of problems because we have never investigated the issue of problems. The life of the human being, the life in the human being is the life of the problem because it is the life of the mind, it is the life of the pattern of thought.

Thought does not deal with the truth of life at this moment, and life is something that is happening here at this moment. Thought deals with experiences, memories and recollections of the past. An important detail: when you have an experience and it is recorded as a memory, it is only a memory that comes back because it was not completed. This is something we need to comprehend.

When you have an experience and it is real, this experiencer does not enter. The experiencer in us is the element that comes from the past, and it brings from the past its memory, its recollection; and in this encounter with this instant of experience, it always adds something to that experience and takes something away from that experience. This is the model of the continuity of the "I," of the "ego," this is the experiencer.

So, these experiences are not complete, so they remain stored within us, a part of them, as a memory, and that is why the thought returns. Thus, this thought is incapable of dealing with this moment because this moment is new. Follow this calmly here.

In life, we do not have any moment that repeats itself; every moment in life is new. But there is an element in us that comes from the past with these ideas, with these memories, with these beliefs and makes an evaluation of this encounter, makes a judgment of this moment, makes a comparison of what is here with what it already knows. This quality of activity, of behavior model is something egocentric.

Thus, we are unable to deal with life as it is, in a real way, when thought is present, when the past is present - ??this past is the "I," it is the "ego," it is this old experiencer. Can we have an encounter with life without the past? Without this pattern of thought? Without this memory? That's our proposal here for you.

In this observation of life there is an Awareness of Being, which is the Truth of Life itself revealing itself; then, at that instant, there is a flow of Consciousness, of Presence, of Reality. This Consciousness is not the consciousness of the person, it is not the consciousness of the "I." What we call consciousness is the model of thought present based on the past; it recognizes from the experiences it has already had; this recognition is an inadequacy. That is how our actions are.

So, I say again: we will never be free from problems, from all forms of conflict, contradiction, disorder, fear, conflicting desires, we will never be free from psychic suffering as long as the sense of "I," of this "me," of this "ego" continues to appear. Can we become aware of this? Comprehension is needed here; it is all we need, it is the only thing we need: to have a comprehension of this process that brings this element that comes from the past and that acts, at this moment, and maintains its continuity, even in the future. When new events arise, it will be there again.

Once we comprehend this sense of "I," once we comprehend the truth about this "ego," about this model of person, we can realize, in life, the Truth about Life; and the Truth about Life is a Life free from the "ego." Life free from the "ego" is life as it is, without all the contradiction, conflict, and suffering of life as it is in this "I," in this "me," from this egoic center, from this character, from this personal identity.

This encounter with the present moment is an encounter with the Reality of Life, without the past, without this reading, evaluation, thought, idea or conclusion about what is here at this moment, about Life revealing itself, about Life at this moment. Our contacts with people, our contacts with ourselves, our contacts with situations, with events are our life of relations.

So, we have our life of relations and we have life showing us the importance of relations. Life shows us the importance of relations, but we are assuming our particular relations in life. Thought gives us a particular vision of who the other person is, of what they represent to me, of who I should be for them.

The thought here, in this "me," gives me the idea of ??how I should deal with the situations that arise in life. This is within this mistaken principle, which is the principle of thought. A thought that also involves feeling, emotion and perception. I look from a perceiver, I think from a thinker, I feel from this "me" in feeling.

Here, we are faced with a perspective sustained by imagination, by thought itself, because there is no such thing as a thinker thinking, no such thing as an "I" feeling, no such thing as an element that is the perceiver perceiving. Notice how important it is to omprehend this, because whether you are forty years old or thirty, or seventy, for all these years your life has been guided by thought, exactly in this format.

The fundamental belief, the basic idea of ??the existence of this "me," this "person," is that you are someone who is thinking, doing, feeling, making decisions, accomplishing things and having control over them. We are faced with something imaginary, a construction of thoughts that have been organized and that give you this idea, that give you this vision, this perspective.

What is the truth about you? What is the truth about thought, about feeling, about emotion, about the actions that are happening here and now? - Because all these ideas of what happened, of what you thought, of what you felt, here and now, are just a memory. What is the truth about what is present here? Is there really this "I" and life? Who are you?

Are you this body? Are you this mind? Are you these feelings, these emotions? Are you these thoughts? Notice that all of this revolves around experiences, memories, recollections, something that comes from the past. This is what we are mistaking ourselves for, this is what we have been living in for all these years.

Here we are clearly telling you, although it may be challenging - I know that - that what we know as life, in this person, is a suggestion of thought, an imagination of thought. There is a Reality, yes, present; this Reality is not the person, it is not this "me," it is not this "I," it is not this structure that mind knows, that thought recognizes, present, as being you.

Contact with the Reality of Life consists in the Awareness of Life without the "I," without the "ego." Then, we are speaking of a Life entirely unknown to thought, ignored by thought, never reached by thought, discussed by thought, or comprehended by thought. We are here touching, signaling, pointing to Something outside the mind, outside the "I," outside the "ego." This is the Life of your Being, this is the Life of God, for which you were born.

Some call this new, unknown Life, outside of all this pattern of ideas, thoughts, beliefs, conclusions, opinions, outside of all the conditioning we receive from this culture, from this idea of ??the world we have, some call it the Awakening of Consciousness or Spiritual Enlightenment - ??it is the Truth of this Being, it is the Truth of God, it is the Truth of Life. Being able to deal with family, husband, wife, children, work or whatever we have around us or within ourselves, without the sense of "I," without the sense of "ego."

Thus, when a thought or a feeling is present, or a sensation or perception is arising, dealing with what is happening internally and with the experience here, at this instant, of this external world, without the sense of "I," without the sense of "ego," is a new contact without the experiencer. If there is no experiencer in this context of existence arising, what we call experience is no longer an experience, we are faced with an experiencing.

Life is for this experiencing, Life is in this experiencing; life makes all its meaning in this experiencing. So, this explains the great confusion and suffering present in this old model, which is the presence of the "I," of this experiencer, of this one who approaches life to extract an experience from it and maintain the continuity of this life, which is the life of the "ego," the life of this experiencer, always projecting itself into the future for greater achievements.

Here there is a Completeness present, there is Something complete; this Fullness is the presence of Happiness, it is the presence of Love, it is the presence of Freedom, it is the presence of Divine Truth. So, this is Life as it is, when the "I" is not present. Here in these meetings, we have been delving into these subjects. We have two playlists here on the channel that I would like to recommend to you. The first is: "Learning about Self-Awareness;" the second is: "Real Meditation, Meditation in practice."

As you approach the Truth about yourself, you need to become aware of how all this processes internally, how this sense of "I" arises. Investigating this subject is fundamental. Discovering Self-Awareness, becoming aware of what the Truth of Meditation is, is what brings you closer to this vision of the Reality of your Being, the Reality of God.

We have meetings here on weekends, where we are together on Saturdays and Sundays. That's two days. Here, in the video description, you can find our WhatsApp link to participate in these meetings. We have in-person meetings and also retreats. If this is something that makes sense to you, here's an invitation. Go ahead, give your "like," subscribe to the channel and leave a comment here: "Yes, that makes sense." Okay? And we'll see you. Thanks for the meeting and see you next time!

The observer and the observed thing | The importance of Self-awareness | How to find God?

When you ask about this encounter with God or what it means, what it really means, we need to take a different approach here. In general, the idea of finding God is to get rid of despair, pain, suffering and existential emptiness. So, in the midst of this pain of loneliness, anguish, depression, or in the midst of some form of suffering, thought builds up in us the idea of a refuge that is permanent.

We already tried to escape in various ways and it hasn't worked. The whole movement of human beings towards the search for external conquests or achievements, in this idea of finding happiness, love, freedom, peace, there is behind it all, this movement of escape from the pain that they bring, that they carry within them. And we've been trying this, human beings have been trying this for a long time. And when they get tired of it, they now start to have religious ideas, aspirations for what they idealize, project, plan within this, so-called, encounter with spiritual life or the encounter with God. So, this idealism is just another way of escaping from the pain.

Here, with you, we are deepening this issue of this encounter, this real encounter with God; but this encounter with God is a contact, a contact that is possible when the Truth of God comes closer. You don't go to God being the person you believe to be. The Reality of God is revealed when that person is comprehended. The Truth of an approach to God is God Revealing Himself, and God Reveals Himself when we learn to look at what we are, without running away, without escaping.

What people don't comprehend is that people - the idea of being a person, this imagination of people present and of being a person in the context, in the relationship with them - what people don't comprehend is that we are dealing with an imagination, with a construction of thought, but it's not such a simple construction, it's very elaborated, extremely complex. This is the condition of human consciousness, of egoic consciousness, of this consciousness of the "I."

All this complication, disorder, confusion and suffering that is present needs to be seen. You must approach yourself; this approach to yourself will reveal to you that this element present in this approach is an idea of someone, it's just a belief, a thought model formulated in a special way, separating itself from the whole, which is the various thoughts we have.

It's just like when you look at a bonfire. When you look at a fire, you're not just seeing the fire, you're also seeing sparks, sparks coming out of that fire. When you're in front of a fire built of sticks, wood, firewood, you hear the sound of the fire and you also see sparks leaping out of the fire. The presence of this "I" is a special thought, it's a spark that has detached itself from the fire; it's a thought that has detached itself from the whole set of thoughts.

This detached thought is the "I," it's the "me," it's the "person." It finds itself frightened by the rest. It finds itself frightened by the rest of the fire, it finds itself loving the rest of the fire, it finds itself liking or terrified by the rest of the fire. This sense of "I," this "me," sees itself as a separate element, in itself, from itself, because thought is the "I" itself. This " I " is the thinker. This thinker does not separate itself from thought, it is part of thought, but it imagines itself as a separate element.

The spark in the fire, the flicker in the fire, is part of the fire. In the same way, the "I" is part of thought. That thought is the thinker, that thinker is the "I." There is no separation between the thinker and the thought. Why is the comprehension of this so fundamental? Because this clear vision of the illusion of separation between this "me" and the "not me," between this thinker and thought, between the one who observes and what it is observing, is the comprehension that we are facing an illusion, which is the illusion of duality, which is the illusion of separation, which brings us closer to a Real vision of God.

In this vision of God, God is aware, conscious, real, the only Reality present at this instant, without any separation; and in this present Reality, there are no more problems, no more suffering, no more searching, no more "finding God." It is the Reality that is present here and now, outside of the future, outside of this need of an encounter tomorrow. That tomorrow is mental, that tomorrow is an imagination of thought, that tomorrow is the future of the mind.

The moment you learn to observe your reactions without separating yourself from them, because there is a full comprehension that there is no such thing as duality, these reactions vanish. Look at the question: how long can you sustain sadness without thinking about what has made you sad? How long can you sustain anger, which is the memory you have of someone, when this memory is undone?

The remembrance is the element that sustains the anger of someone you are angry with. Without the memory of someone, what happens to the anger? Without the memory of what gave you sadness, what happens to this feeling, this sensation, this emotion that involves the presence of this pain, which we call sadness?

Thus, what is the truth about suffering? Discovering the truth about suffering is the end to suffering, and it is when suffering ends that it becomes clear that there is no one to suffer; and if there is no one to suffer, Something is present, and that Something is not part of suffering, that Something is the Reality of this Being. Notice that when you want to get rid of suffering, every move you make is to try to do something about suffering. That's the idea of getting rid.

You don't want to get rid of what is giving you pleasure, you want more of what is giving you pleasure. By wanting more of what is giving you pleasure, you support the continuity of someone in the desire. By wanting to get rid of what is causing you suffering or pain, you feed someone present in fear, rejection and resistance.

What gives continuity to this sense of "I," this someone, is precisely the movement of reaction; of a positive reaction in the search for more or a negative reaction in rejecting, refusing, trying to get rid of. So, we have the presence of an element separated from the condition, from the condition of pleasure that we desire or from the condition of pain that we want to get rid of. This separation is the continuity of the "I," the continuity of the "ego." It is this separation that sustains the authenticity of an egocentric movement, of a separatist movement, of a movement in duality. If this is present, it is not possible for Divine Reality to reveal itself.

Thus, the search for God is the projection of an entity that sees itself as separate from God. As long as this search is sustained, there will be this element in the search: this is the continuity of the "ego," this is the continuity of the "I." Besides, all this searching, as we've just said, is just a way of escaping from pain. Notice that when you're happy, there's no thought in you. At the instant of Happiness, at the instant of that Joy, of that intensity of ecstasy, of Freedom, of Grace, of Stillness, there is Something present beyond those words we've just mentioned.

The Reality of the state is none of these words. And when the Reality of this state is present, there is no element to separate itself from, to say: "How happy I am," "How wonderful this peace is." When any kind of thought like that arises, it's because that state is no longer there. See what an important thing we have here.

Real contact with the present moment, with experience, is the absence of an experiencer, of an element that separates itself from experience and, at this moment, there is no "I," there is no "ego," there is no God-seeker, no pleasure-seeker, no pain-seeker. Thus, it's the contact with the present moment, with life as it happens, when the "I" element isn't present, the presence of a Reality outside the known, outside the model of words, the model of thought, outside that future to reach or that future to get rid of. This is because there is no separation between thought and the thinker, the observer and the observed thing, the experiencer and the experience.

Can we deal with this moment without placing the thought on this moment, without placing the idea on this moment? Can we deal with this state without calling it pain or pleasure? This is the real approach to Self-awareness. The presence of Self-awareness ends this duality, ends this separation. The presence of Self-awareness reveals a complete emptying of all this psychological content of words, beliefs, ideas, concepts, conclusions, and it eliminates this sense of "I."

Thus, when we come to understand the truth about the importance of Self-awareness, which is to look at what is here without getting involved, without bringing in that element which separates itself in order to like or dislike, agree or disagree, think about it, draw conclusions, when we no longer bring in that element, there is a total emptying of all the content of the "I," of all the content of separation, of duality; this is when we get closer to the Truth of Meditation.

What Reveals the awareness of God is the approach to non-duality through Self-awareness, in this real approach to Meditation. The Truth of Meditation is something that is revealing itself in this very moment, when there is this approach to the present without the model of thought, without the model of the observer separating from the observed thing.

Notice, the observer is the observed thing. This separation is one that thought establishes within us. It is when this observer separates itself that it begins to idealize God, in the future, as something apart from itself, Love as something apart from itself, Peace as something apart from itself, pleasure as something apart from itself, the end of fear or suffering as something to be attained tomorrow. But such a thing does not exist because this psychological tomorrow does not exist.

Thus, the truth of this encounter with God lies in the Revelation of this non-dual Being, who is present here and now as the Nature of God: this is the Nature of your Being, this is the Nature of the Truth about each one of us, That which is present when the "ego" is not present, when the thinker is not present, when the observer is not present, when the experiencer is not present. This is what we are deepening here with you. This is what we are working on with you in these meetings.

We have online meetings on weekends, where we're together on Saturdays and Sundays, diving deeper into this subject with you - two full days. In addition to these, we also have in-person meetings and retreats. If this resonates with you, consider this an invitation. Go ahead and leave a "like," subscribe to the channel, and write in the comments: "Yes, this makes sense," alright? See you next time. Thanks for joining, and until next time!

Practicing Self-awareness. Escape and Self-awareness. What is Self-awareness Egocentric Action

Here, together, we are approaching with you the Truth of this Blossoming, this Realization, this Awareness of Divine Truth, of That which is You in your True Nature, in your Real Nature. You need to investigate all these aspects linked to this sense of "person" you believe to be. What we are saying here is that you are not who you believe to be, and the truth about who you really are is despised due to the presence of ignorance. This ignorance is what reinforces the problems in life, particularly, in your life.

A life without problems is a life free of issues, because those issues are resolved. A problem is something we have that is not resolved, and needs to be attended to, needs to be seen, needs to be fully comprehended. The foundation of this work lies in the comprehension, the comprehension of the problem, the comprehension of the issues, that's their solution. So, yes, life, from this moment on, is seen as it truly is, that is, without problems.

That's why our statements may sound strange; to say here, so clearly, that there are no problems in life, there are only problems within us. So, the problems we have are, in fact, the problem that we are, and we are the problem that sustains all other problems in life; and it's not about life as it unfolds externally, it's about the personal life of each one of us. I want to touch with you on this model of action, which is the quality of our action, which has been continuously generating disorder, confusion, and problems in this particular life of each one of us.

What would be a life free of problems? It is a life free from those actions or activities that arise from a center - that center is the "ego," the "I." Our actions are not truly actions; they are activities of the "I," activities of the egoic mind, activities of this personal consciousness, they are egocentric activities. A direct observation of these activities reveals the presence of that central element, which is the center. The center is that element from which these actions occur. And what are these actions? They are actions born out of thought.

Follow along with me here the importance of this comprehension. Let's together perceive this here. Our actions are actions in effort: in the effort to obtain and in the effort to get rid of. First, we want to obtain what society, the world, the collective, the social structure tells us that we need to have to be happy. Thus, we are in search of this, and this search implies the presence of effort to obtain.

We need to obtain what the conditioning model of the world says we do, and we also need to get rid of what makes us unhappy. We need these things for happiness and we also need to get rid of these other things for happiness. So, the idea is to take actions, through effort, to achieve; through effort, to take actions to free ourselves, to free ourselves from situations that are afflicting us and preventing happiness. We never question who is this element in the effort. This element is this center.

What basically is this center? The feeling, the thought, and the sensation you have of existing as someone in the context of the experience of life as it happens, it is basically this "I," this "me," this is the center. Here, together, we are investigating the truth about all of this, and we already start, in all the videos here, questioning exactly this. We need to have clarity about this model of thought we carry, because it is the model of thought of the human culture, and it hasn't worked.

We do not find human beings in Happiness. We do find human beings in achievements, but in the midst of these achievements, fear, anxiety, depression, anguish, the view of greater emotional, sentimental, physical dependence on what they possess, or on what they believe is them. Thus, the psychological condition of human beings is one of suffering in the midst of comfort, in the midst of fame, prestige, public acceptance, in the midst of success.

What we call success, achievement, fame, is something inside the context of everything that is reached through effort. And why is it that none of this has really worked? What is it that we truly want?There is a difference between what you desire - desire because it was given to you as a goal to reach - and what you truly need. What you truly need, you are unaware of, and what is only part of an accumulation of external achievements, with no inner meaning, is what you seek.

There is an existential void, there is a lack, there is a real need in the human being: it is the need for Love, Peace, Freedom, Truth, and Happiness. The point is that this is not reached through effort, nor is it obtained by getting rid of what causes you discomfort. The Reality of this reveals itself at this instant when illusion ends, when ignorance is no longer present.Thus, the human being has a behavior of escaping from what causes discomfort. So, this topic of escape, of the various forms and mechanisms of escape we have, we have been dealing here with you.

We are escaping from what is painful; that is, after achieving, the pain shows itself to be present, because everything that is achieved, that is obtained, that is accomplished through effort is part of an ideal that is born from the model of thought, and thought in us is the element of mistake, the element of deception, it is itself the proposal of this illusory peace, love, happiness, and freedom. So, in the midst of this pain, the human being tries to escape, to flee toward new achievements, new entertainments, new forms of pleasure and psychological fulfillment.

So, we are inside a vicious circle: through seeking, we achieve; and after we achieve, we perceive that it wasn't that, and then we want to get rid of it, and we enter into this escape, and this escape is another form of seeking, and then we achieve again, and later we want to get rid of it. So, we are inside a circle. This circle is spinning around this "I," this "ego," this center.

Can we realize, in life, the Truth about this? Because it is the acknowledgement of the problem, the comprehension of the problem, that is the end of it. And the end consists in the comprehension of the Truth about Self-awareness. So, we have been addressing here, presenting to you, this matter of escape and self-awareness. It is the Truth of Self-awareness that we need. This is a real and urgent necessity for each one of us.

Thus, what is Self-awareness? Self-awareness is the approach to the truth about what we are in this context; it is comprehending the nature of the "I," the nature of the ego. The comprehension of the nature of this structure around which all of this happens is the comprehension that leads to the end of this psychological condition of ego-identity. This is the end of egocentric action; it is the end of this model of egoic activity, of the activity of the '"I," which is the action born from thought and, through effort, adjusts itself, enters into models of self-discipline to achieve goals, which later prove to be useless.

There is also a confusion regarding the expression "self-awareness." Some people use the expression "practicing self-awareness." The Truth of the awareness of Self-awareness is not a mechanical exercise, something done in a technical way; it requires the presence of Attention to our reactions, to this behavior pattern, to this model, which is the model of the "I."

Here on this channel, we are working with you on the Awakening of Consciousness, Spiritual Enlightenment, the Awareness of your Being, the Truth of the Revelation of God. This Reality is not external, it is not something that is obtained, that is reached. The Divine Reality, the Reality of God, is the Awareness of this Being; and this Being is not this "person," this "me," this "ego." The end of this condition of the "I," of the "ego," is the presence of this Divine Reality.

Our focus here is on this approach, on this Real Vision of Life as it happens, without this sense of "I," without this sense of "ego." When you learn to approach yourself and look at this whole internal movement of thoughts, feelings, emotions, sensations, this internal movement of programming, of conditioning becomes clear. To look at this, to become aware of this, to become conscious of this movement is to become aware of your reactions, it is when they have the possibility of undergoing a deep change, a radical transformation. It is a change, a transformation not in them, it is the end of them; It is the end of these reactions, it is the beginning of something new, because at that instant, the mind quiets down, a new space of Silence opens, which is the presence of Meditation.

The truth of Meditation, the Awareness of Meditation, requires the presence of Self-awareness; then, yes, Reality presents itself, it reveals itself. That is our real need. The Awareness of Awakening, the Truth of this Revelation of Wisdom, of this Revelation of what is present at this instant revealing itself as the Nature of your Being, which is the Divine Truth. Only this, and nothing but this, is the Truth.

The presence of Truth is the presence of Happiness, it is the presence of this Divine Reality. It is not about someone who has achieved happiness, it is about the Revelation of Truth when there is no one, when this "I" no longer exists, when this center, which is the basis of the "I," which is the basis of the "ego," which is the basis of this sense of separation, which sustains the illusion of someone separated from Life, separated from God, separated from Truth; when this center vanishes, we have the end of this illusion.

All this approach we have here is for the direct comprehension of what we really are, of what we demonstrate to be, what we seem to be and are in the context of the "I," of the "ego," of this center and, at the same time, the end of this condition reveals Something, which is the presence of the New, which is the presence of the Unknown, which is the presence of the true Nature of God in You, where You are the Reality of this Real Consciousness, of this Divine Consciousness. We are before Something indescribable.

That's what we're working on with you here these weekends. We'll be together for two days: Saturday and Sunday. It's an opportunity to delve deeper into this - here, in the video description, you can find our WhatsApp link for these online meetings on weekends. In addition to these meetings, we have in-person meetings and retreats as well. If what you've just heard makes any sense to you, here's an invitation. Go ahead, leave a "like," subscribe to the channel and leave a comment saying: "Yes, that makes sense." Okay? And we'll see you soon. Thanks for the meeting and see you next time!

How to get rid of jealousy and insecurity? How to get rid of fear? Psychological time. The illusion of time

The question here is: "How to get rid of jealousy and insecurity"?The presence of jealousy is the presence of someone involved in a relation, where self-image is present. The idea that the other is there, based on the belief that you are here, with your expectations, hopes, desires, waiting for something from him or her, the idea of being present as someone, in this context of relations, is the basis of jealousy. Unless you comprehend this, unless this becomes clear to you, everything will remain the same. Comprehending the truth about yourself is eliminating the illusion of someone in this dependency.

Your problem is not because the other is the way they are; your problem is because you have an idea of yourself, a mental picture, a representation of what life should be for you, of how the world should happen for you. Unless you free yourself from this self-image, fear will be present; and fear has many forms of expression, one of them being insecurity in relations. This is present because we lack the Truth of Freedom.

There is something very important here to be comprehended. We are lacking Freedom. There is no Freedom! We don't have inner space, inside ourselves, for this Freedom; and the absence of this Freedom is the presence of contraction, of fear. When there is Freedom, we have, in Freedom, the possibility of the presence of Love. Wherever there is some form of dependence, of lack, of projection, of pleasure, of fulfillment and satisfaction in the relation with the other, what is present is the absence of Freedom, not the presence of Love.

Love is not present in possession, in control, in envy, in suspicion, in dependency, in jealousy. Love is present when Truth is present, and Truth is the presence of Freedom. Without Freedom, we do not have Truth, there is no way for Real Love to happen. One thing we do not comprehend, that is not yet clear for most people, is that this sense of person is an illusion.

By freeing yourself from the illusion of the person, by freeing yourself from the idea of this "me," of this "I," of this ego, we have the presence of this Freedom, because Truth is present, then Love Blooms - Love in relations. You will never have Love in relations until you comprehend what this relation is. Our human relations are sustained within a pattern of images established by thought - this is how our relations are happening.

The image established by thought is the image I have about who I am; this is my self-image. The image I have in this relation is the image I have about who the other is. When we meet, this meeting is a meeting between images, it is the expectation I have of him and that he has of me, that I have of her and she has of me. This expectation is born from this lack, this pain; this expectation is born from this lack, this suffering, this dependency in the search for fulfillment in the other.

It is very common, the idea of finding love. Love is not something to be found, Love is what reveals itself at this instant; it is not something to be found in the future, in time. That's because we have never investigated this matter of time, then we speak of finding this in the future. There is no such thing as time. Time is an illusion.

We need time to build a house, we need time to take a course, to learn a profession. We need time to learn to sing, we need time to learn a technique. Here, time exists, it is chronological time, it is calendar time. Many hours of study, dedication, and commitment will give you that result. But there is no time for Love, there is no time for Happiness, there is no time for Freedom, there is no time for Peace, either this is present at this instant, or it will not be present. It is not something that is achieved in time, that will be established at some point in the future. There is no such thing as psychological time.

Psychological time is a fantasy created by thought. Thought created time; it is postponing when it creates this time. Thought, in you, says: "tomorrow I will be happy, tomorrow I will have peace." In the same way, thought says: "tomorrow I will start this diet," "tomorrow I will start exercising." What thought is saying is that it is not going to do any of that. What it is saying is that it is not going to reach peace tomorrow, it is not going to reach happiness tomorrow, it is not going to reach love tomorrow.

Deep,deep down, thought knows that Love has nothing to do with it, that Peace has nothing to do with its presence, Happiness has nothing to do with its presence, neither does exercising, nor starting a diet. Notice the game. Thought has created psychological time in order to postpone; it is assuming the place of action when it says "tomorrow," when it says "in the future," when it imagines what it will do.

Truth consists in the presence of action, and it is now. Love is now, Peace is now, Happiness is now, diet is now, exercise is here. Either there is the presence of exercise or there is no exercise happening now. Either we have the presence of diet at this instant or we don't have, at this instant, the diet; we have the imagination of the diet, the thought about the diet. Thought is not action, thought is postponement.

We live a deeply mistaken life, which is the life of thought.There is no life in thought.Thought in us is the presence of memory, it is the presence of what was, the presence of the past. It is the past projecting itself into the future in the imagination of exercising, in the imagination of peace, of love, in the imagination of losing weight, or the imagination of health. Thought imagines all things. Some things are good, and other things are bad. These bad things and good things are always from the perspective of thought itself, but it is still the presence of postponement, it is its presence.

Thus, people ask how to get rid of jealousy and insecurity, how to get rid of fear. It is always thought looking for a path, a formula, a method, a way to deal with it in the future. Notice how thought moves inside you. It speaks to you of the past and it speaks to you of the future. It has no awareness of this instant, or gives any value to this moment, all it does is take something from this moment to remember, to store, to record in the so-called past. All it does at this moment is project itself, again through thought, into the so-called future.

A life centered in thought is a life where we live in a world of abstraction, where we live in a world of imagination, which is the world of ideas, conclusions, opinions, and beliefs. We are not dealing with facts; we are dealing with idealisms, with plans, with dreams. "How to get rid of fear?" Coming into contact with this instant, with the experience of the fact, is something very different from having ideas about fear, imagination about fear, thoughts about fear, and how to get rid of fear.

Notice that, for example, this matter of fear is nothing other than thought within us. Here, at this instant, we are dealing with life as it happens. As it happens at this moment, we do not have the presence of thought; but for it to happen in the future, we need thought. Notice that all fear in us is explainable, justifiable, which becomes noticeable, which is shown due to the presence of thought.

What are you afraid of? Your wife. But what is a wife? It is a thought you have about her right now. You are afraid of your husband? But what is the husband? It is a thought you have about him right now. Your fear is of the future. It doesn't deal with what is here, at this instant. It deals with the psychological future. It deals with imagination. It deals with the past. It deals with the future. You are afraid of getting sick: that is the future. You are afraid of aging: that is the future. You are afraid of something you did in the past that will be discovered: you are afraid of the future based on the past.

It is always the presence of psychological time, which is thought. We are facing the illusion of time. Life is what is happening here, at this instant, and yet you are sustaining the illusion of a present identity, which is the "I," living in thought, living through thought, being the very thinker. But this thinker is the thought itself, because there is no such thing as the thinker when there is no thought. Once again, we are facing an abstraction, an illusion, a belief. This is the image that thought has established in you as being you. This self-image is the thinker. It is the thinker who wants to get rid of what it doesn't like and hold on to what it does like, what gives it pleasure.

Here, with you, we are discovering what it means to eliminate this thought, to eliminate this "I," this ego, this self-image, in order to come into contact with Life at this instant, free from fear, free from insecurity, free from jealousy, free from the illusion of loving and being loved based on a mental construction, a construction of thought. Contact with Life at this instant is contact with the Freedom of Being. Here we have the presence of Love now, of Happiness now, of Freedom now, of Peace now.

Life being accepted as it is, at this moment, does not require the presence of thought. We need technical thought to deal with things like performing a profession - there, thought is necessary. We need thought to build a house - there, time is also necessary. Technical thought is necessary in the form of knowledge and experience. Time is necessary to build a house, or take a course, or deal with things related to the calendar.

So, chronological time is present in our lives, but we don't need psychological time; we also don't need thought. I mean this psychological thought, this thought of images through which the sense of "I," the ego, is establishing and anchoring its own structure of identity in itself, and making the world a projection from it, and the other from it.

The Freedom to live within relations with the other without the model of thought is the Truth of the Revelation of Love. And if Love is present, there is no attachment; and if Love is present, there is no fear, no insecurity, no dependency, no jealousy. This encounter with the Reality of Life is an encounter with the Freedom of Love. And if it is present, that is the Truth of God. And it is when Love is present that God Reveals Himself, that Freedom is here, that Truth has blossomed.

This is what we are working on together in these weekend online meetings. It's two days together: Saturday and Sunday. I want to leave you an invitation here: you have, in the description of this video, our WhatsApp link to take part in these online meetings on weekends. Besides these meetings, we also have in-person meetings and retreats. If this is something that makes sense to you, here's your invitation. Go ahead, leave your "like," subscribe to the channel, and write in the comments: "Yes, this makes sense." Okay? And see you. Thanks for this meeting, and see you next time!
