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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

GC: Hello everyone! We're here for another videocast, and Master Gualberto is with us again. Thank you, Master, for being here. Today I'm going to read an excerpt from a book by Joel Goldsmith called "The Art of Meditation." In one passage of this book, Master, Joel made the following comment: "When consciousness is liberated through individual meditation, it no longer suffers the limitations of time and space." In this passage, Joel comments on liberation through meditation. Within this topic, Master, could you share Your vision on what Meditation is?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

GC: Thank you, Master, our time is up. Thank you for another videocast. And, for those of you who watched the videocast to the end and truly wish to learn this Art of Meditation, we invite you to participate in the intensive weekend meetings that Master Gualberto offers. In these meetings, something much deeper happens than in these videos here on YouTube. First, because the Master answers our questions live, and second, and much more impactful, is that, because the Master already lives in this Awakened State of Consciousness, he shares a field of Presence around him, a field of Energy, Power, and Grace. And, in these meetings, we end up taking a ride in the Master's field of Presence. And, taking a ride with the Master, without any practice, without any technique, we enter this State of Meditation, quiet our minds, and can have a real comprehension of the subjects discussed here on the channel. So, the invitation is extended: In the first pinned comment, there is a WhatsApp link to participate in these meetings. Also, please like the video, subscribe to the channel, and Master, once again, thank you for the videocast.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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