Joel Goldsmith | The Infinite Way | How Does The Mind Work? | 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 Infinite Way." In one passage of this book, Joel makes the following comment: "All appearances are objects of the senses, not of God or Truth." Master, in this passage, Joel talks about appearance vs. Spiritual Reality. Within these topics, can you share your vision on how the mind works?

MG: Gilson, knowing myself is, first and foremost, knowing how the mind works. Because the basis of what "I am," in relation to the present moment, to events, to the other person, to the world around me; this entire relation is based on this model of being someone, of this person that "I am." Comprehending this is the basis for Liberation in this life. The entire structure is mental. It is the presence of the mind. The presence of this "me," this "I."

Thus, discovering how the mind works is becoming aware of how it happens, of how it expresses itself. It is, in reality, what "I am." There is no separation between what "I am," in this expression, and the mind that knows itself, that we know, this truth about "me." There is a present Reality beyond this truth about "me," about the "I," about the person. But this will never become clear as long as we are trapped within the form or format of ignorance about ourselves.

As long as we are unaware of this entire process of the mind, as long as we do not investigate this-the presence of thought, feeling, emotion, the person that "I am"-learning about myself, knowing the truth about the "I," is approaching this vision. We need to be aware of Life as it is, something impossible from the thought I have about it.

Notice, for example, the presence of fear in us. We can go through some change or transformation, but this transformation or change will be superficial as long as this model of being someone is present, which is the model of the "I" in fear. The very change or transformation, in this impulse to rid oneself of fear, is still fear in expression; it is still something present in the person we know, in the person we recognize in ourselves.

The Truth of Liberation in this life is the awareness of Something beyond the person, beyond the "I," and therefore, beyond the mind. To study the mind, to study oneself, to observe how the mind works, how we work, is to discover the truth about this movement of isolationism, of separation, of duality. That which places us in a movement of separation from Life as it is, because we have an idea of ??how it should be, for "me," for the "I."

So, what is studying ourselves? It is comprehending these mechanics, comprehending this mechanism that sustains this particular life. And why is it a particular life? Because it is life for the person. The person sees themselves separate from the other person. They see themselves separate from Life. They have their particularities, which are their particular experiences of this body and mind. This gives us the illusion of a particular life, of a particularity of life. This life is the life of the illusion of the "I," the illusion of the ego.

Discovering how the mind works is discovering its operations, its way of functioning, of perceiving reality. The mind perceives reality based on the criteria it has, the values ??it carries, the concepts that are within it. What we call the mind is a set within us: a set of memories, recollections, past experiences recorded as memories, creating and sustaining a center around which memories, recollections, experiences are revolving.

The way we are dealing with the moment, how we are dealing with life, in this particular idea of ??being someone, is typical of the model of this conditioned mind which, when investigated, comprehended, dissolves. Because it is not the Reality about you, it is not the Reality of this Being. Although it presents itself as the truth about you, this feeling, thought, "I," in motion in life, is all particular. It particularizes the moment, it interprets the moment based on criteria, memories, and recollections. Discovering the truth about this is to get rid of this condition.

The Flourishing your Divine State, your Natural State, is the emergence of That which is present beyond the mind. Since the presence of the mind is the presence of this conditioning, we are a collection of memories, recollections, remembrances, recorded experiences. That is what we are in this "I," in this person. The consciousness we have of ourselves is the consciousness we have of the other, of the world, of life. But this consciousness we have of ourselves is the projection that thought is producing and sustaining. The consciousness you have of yourself is self-image, the image that thought has established of who you are.

This image is constructing this ideal of the world, this ideal in relations, this ideal in purposes. This ideal is the model of abstraction of thought, of this egoic consciousness. Putting it another way: We are alienated from Life as it is, because of the presence of this particular idea of ??life that we have, because of the presence of this ideal, this ideal of life. There is the fact of Life, the Reality of Life, and there is the abstraction of life, the ideal of life.

When you look at the world, you don't look at the world as it is; you look at the world from the ideal, from the abstraction of thought in you, about life, about the world. Since thought in you is a pre-formed concept, that is, a prejudice, something established in you, giving you a particular view of everything; this is something wrong, mistaken, far from Reality. Thus, the psychological condition of being someone in the world is to live in this conditioned mind.

Comprehending how the mind works is to go beyond this condition, for the comprehension of a state free of mind, free from the "I," free from the ego, naturally free from fear, disorder, confusion, and suffering. What we have experienced as transformations is very superficial. Here we are inviting you to a profound change, a significant and real transformation within yourself, something possible when the sense of "I," of the ego, is no longer present. This requires a mind free from the mind.

The mind that we know, that which we recognize, that which we comprehend as mind, dissolves because of the vision of Reality, of That which is present here beyond this known mind. Your Natural State of Being, free from the past, free from the I, free from the ego, is this state free of the thinker, of the experiencer, of the one who looks from the past; therefore, of the one who is the observer.

This vision of the world is not someone's vision. This perception of existence is not someone in the perception of it. It is Life in itself revealing itself. We are faced with That which is indescribable when the mind is no longer present, when there is a comprehension of how it works.

GC: Master, we have a question from a subscriber here on the channel, who made the following comment: "Master, how do I know if I am in Real Consciousness or in egoic consciousness?"

MG: Gilson, that's another question. Notice, the question is: How can "I" know if I am in this Real Consciousness or in this illusory consciousness? Who is the element present creating this separation between this Real Consciousness and this egoic consciousness? One of the great difficulties we have here is that we get stuck on words, on expressions. We are giving these expressions an importance that, in fact, they do not have.

Here we get stuck on this model of the intellect, the intellect that clings to words, clings to expressions, clings to denominations, to concepts. The Reality of this Being is Something beyond the mind and, therefore, beyond this idea of ??this "I," this "me," this idea, this egoic consciousness, this personal consciousness. Therefore, when this is present, no one remains to be aware that it is present. This awareness that something is present is still the awareness of an identity that separates itself and, therefore, is within duality. This is the illusory consciousness, which you call personal consciousness or egoic consciousness or consciousness of the "I."

So, when the question is: How do "I" know? This "I" that knows, it knows from the idea, from the belief, from the concept. This "I" that knows, it knows from separation, from division. This "I" that knows is still the model of duality, the model of this egocentric activity. Just investigate the nature of the "I," the nature of this "me." Learn to look at your reactions, to be aware of them, and soon this dissolves. And, naturally, when this dissolves, Something is present here, Something beyond this "I," beyond the ego.

That which is present is beyond this idea of ??egoic consciousness and beyond this idea of ??Real Consciousness. Here, when we use the expression "Real Consciousness," we are pointing to Something beyond the consciousness we know and, therefore, to Something beyond the idea of ??"consciousness." If this is present, no one is left to know anything about it. The presence of this Reality is the vision of Life without the observer. It is experiencing Life without the experiencer. It is speaking without someone speaking. It is listening without someone listening. It is perceiving without someone present.

Therefore, the idea of ??a sensor to detect this, to know about this, to perceive this, is entirely false. The Real Revelation of Truth is that which is being revealed here when the person is not present, when this sensor is not present, when this particular consciousness is no longer present. Therefore, the only thing you have to do is assume the Truth of this Being; learning to look without interfering with it, so the sense of "I" dissolves. What this represents, in doing so, is simply to quiet down and look, listen, perceive, without placing someone in the perception, without placing someone in the gaze, without placing someone to know.

So, That which is present here beyond the "I" shows itself as the Reality of Life. Therefore, our real encounter with the moment, our real encounter with the instant, our real encounter with God, our real encounter with this Real Consciousness, is the Revelation of That which is present here revealing itself in this instant, without the idea of ??someone to know something about it, to control it, to understand it.

Therefore, to look at this moment, at whatever is arising here, without thinking about it, without drawing a conclusion about it, without forming an idea about it-just looking at it-is to not place this separation, this division upon it. It is to not place this egoic consciousness, this personal consciousness, upon it. That is why the presence of Meditation is not for the one who is conscious; it is something that transcends this consciousness, this consciousness of someone, this idea of ??someone, this thought of someone. It is the absence of Meditation.

When there is the presence of Meditation because of this looking, this listening, this perceiving without the "I," that which is eternal, that which is indescribable, that which is beyond time, beyond the known, is revealed. No one remains to know, no one remains to understand. Therefore, it is not a process in this consciousness as we know it; it is something that transcends this being conscious or not being conscious. It is something entirely different from all of that.

GC: Master, we have another question from another subscriber here on the channel, who made the following comment: "Master, how exactly do we practice self-observation to see reality?"

MG: Gilson, the presence of self-observation is not about seeing Reality; the presence of self-observation is about discarding the one who sees, the one who looks, the one who observes. The one who sees, the one who looks, and the one who observes is the presence of the observer-the element present in you that separates itself to observe, to become aware, to have awareness. That element is the "I".

Here, the expression "self-observation" is not something for the "I" to practice; it is not a practice for the observer. The presence of self-observation is the awareness of looking without the "I." When a thought is present in you, when it arises, it arises bringing the suggestion of someone. It is something very fast, automatic. When a thought is present in you, arising there, it immediately establishes an identity that becomes involved with thought. This entity is the "I," it is the thinker, it is the observer.

Notice that some thoughts you like and other thoughts you don't like. Who is this element that likes these thoughts? Who is this element that doesn't like these other thoughts? Isn't it the presence of an element that separates itself? Isn't it the presence of a thinker, an experiencer, an observer? Thus we face this duality: thought on one side and the experiencer on the other. The thinker on the other, the observer on the other.

Therefore, this look at these reactions when they arise, without interfering with them, without placing anything in this movement of duality-which is the presence of thought and the one who is thinking-without placing anything in this duality, in this experience, without placing anything there; just to look, just to perceive, just to become aware of this reaction, this experience, this duality.

The awareness of this look is the quality of this true awareness of Being, which is self-observation. There is no one present in self-observation; it is pure observation without the "I," without someone. We discover this directly through experience; listening to lectures about it, we remain only in the realm of ideas. Here we are inviting you to participate in these meetings; they are online meetings, they are in-person meetings, where it will become clear to you that this idea of ??someone in self-observation does not exist.

Investigating oneself, self-observing, becoming aware of one's reactions, this is something that is present when the "I" does not enter, when the observer does not arrive, when the experiencer does not present themselves. Learning about ourselves is learning about Self-awareness; it is looking at the moment without the intervention of this old and ancient psychological structure that accepts, rejects, agrees, disagrees. It is when we have the end to this conditioning, to this pattern of behavior, and thus we face the presence of Meditation.

Because Meditation is not someone doing something. Meditation is the presence of this awareness of Being. When there is Meditation, there is no one practicing, there is no one to meditate. When there is self-observation, there is no one to observe themselves. It is a quality of contact with the moment, with what is showing itself here, without interference, without the involvement of an identity. Therefore, we are pointing here to something outside the mind, as we know it, outside this consciousness, as we know it, outside this duality.

The presence of Meditation is not something for this "I" to be conscious. The presence of Meditation is this gaze, in this observing, where there is no choice, where there is no concept, idea, opinion, judgment, where there is no interference whatsoever. Then, that which is beyond the mind is revealed, beyond this duality, this separation between thought and thinker, between that which is being observed and the observer.

There comes the end of this separation between the observer and the observed thing, between thought and thinker, between that which is being experienced and the experience. This is the presence of this self-observation. This becomes clear when we approach ourselves in an experiential way, when we learn this Art of looking, of listening, of perceiving without the "I."

GC: Gratitude, gratitude, Master. Our time is up. Gratitude for this videocast. And for you who are following the videocast to the end and truly wish to live these truths, you are invited to participate in the intensive weekend meetings that Master Gualberto provides. Because the Master already lives in this Awakened State of Consciousness, in these meetings, he shares a Field of Presence around him, a Field of Energy, of Power and Grace. In these meetings, we end up being carried by this Field of Presence of the Master.

And, being carried by the Master, spontaneously, without any effort, without any practice, without any technique, we enter the meditative state, silence our minds and can have a real comprehension, beyond all the limitations of our intellectual knowledge. So, the invitation stands.

In the first pinned comment, there's a WhatsApp link so you can participate in these meetings. Also, please "like" the video, leave comments here, and ask questions for us to cover in future videocasts. And, once again, Master, thank you for the videocast.

The Illusion of Individuality. How to find God. Meditation: What Is It? Learning About Self-Awareness.

There's something here that we need to see, we need to become aware of: It's the truth that the individual is their own world. We are sustaining a particular world of relations. That is our own world. And unless we have a transformation, a change within ourselves, there will be no Peace, Freedom, Love in our world. This is something that will not be present in our relationships, because we do not comprehend ourselves.

Here we are working on this, the Truth of this Revelation, the Truth about You. Thus, learning about Self-awareness is what gives us the basis for a free life, free from the "I," free from the ego. Liberation from this "I," getting rid of this sense of "I," is getting rid of illusion, the illusion of the individual, the illusion of individuality. Yes, because within this world context, we are seeing ourselves as the center of this particular world. This is the illusion of individuality, this is the illusion of the "I," of this "person," within this world of relations.

Thus, we are particularizing relations within this world, which is the world of each one of us, the world of the person. Therefore, unless you know this change, there will be no change within the relations you have. I say this because, in truth, we want to live in peace in our relations, we want to live in freedom and love in our relations. However, this becomes impossible, because we are living within this illusion, which is the illusion of the ego, the illusion of the "I," of this individual.

We are establishing this world apart from the Reality of Life as it happens. Therefore, there is Life as it is and, parallel to this, we have the idea of ??life, the idea of ??the world, the idea of ??relations. We don't know what relation represents, the relation with him or her, the relation with life, the relation with the world. We are within a psychological model, in this mind, within a fantasy, an imagination.

Therefore, we must comprehend that the peace in our relations, the happiness in our relations, requires the presence of this Peace within us, this Love present within each of us. When we look at the world, at what happens outside, we realize that what there is externally is only a larger representation of what we carry within ourselves. We are the process, we are the movement, we are what happens within humanity, within social relations, within this world we know.

Thus, it is this total comprehension of ourselves that brings about this change, that brings about this Freedom. This is what we are here, working on with you, showing you that an action free from the "I," free from the ego, is an action where in these relations we have the presence of Truth. Life is a contact of relations. Thus, life is relations in action. This is where relations are happening. We need to know what this action means, the action present in each of us.

What we generally know as action or actions is something that conforms to the thought patterns we have. Thus, we have ideas and belief patterns, and this is acting within the context of our contact with him or her, with life, with what happens. These are our relations. However, we don't know what a new quality of action means, the action that arises from an inner state of Presence, of Real Consciousness, of Intelligence.

What we take to be consciousness is the consciousness of the "I," it is the consciousness in this egoic mind. What we take to be intelligence is the technical ability to deal with mechanical matters in life. We are unaware of the truth about Real Intelligence , which I have called Spiritual Intelligence here. We are unaware of the truth about Real Consciousness, which is the present Reality beyond what we understand or know as personal consciousness, just as we are unaware of the truth of this contact of an action free from this movement, which is the movement of beliefs, of patterns, of these thought patterns.

Thus, we need Freedom within action. When we free ourselves from this false action, which is the action of the ego within the relation, we will be facing an action in this Divine Intelligence, in this Real Presence or Divine Consciousness. This is contact with Life, it is contact with God. Yes, this contact with God is not contact with something beyond, but rather Something that is present here revealing itself in this moment. Yes, it is Something beyond illusion, beyond the ego, beyond this movement of thought patterns.

The beauty of a relation free from illusion, from thought, from these patterns, is that we are in direct contact with the answer in living, moment by moment. It is the answer in this living for the presence of Love, Peace, Happiness. When you ask "How to find God?", your question refers to this quality of life free from suffering, free from illusion. The way we are dealing with the world, especially with people, is based on the idea of ??a person present. This person is this individual consciousness; this individual consciousness is the illusion of an individual, the illusion of individuality.

Your true encounter with God is not something you do; it's something revealed here, in relations, when the sense of "I" is absent, when the ego is not. Thus, a true relation with him or her requires a clear vision of the Truth about yourself. The Truth about yourself discards the illusion of this "I" and reveals something beyond the person. That which is present here beyond the person is this encounter.

Observe what we are presenting to you here. Everything you have heard until now about this encounter with God is something you will do, something you will accomplish at some point within time. And here we are presenting to you that Reality is present, and this Reality is Divine Truth, and It reveals itself here and now when we have a true approach to the moment, without the past, without these patterns of beliefs and thoughts that propel us towards a quality of action in the ego, action in duality, action in this sense of separation, within this illusion.

The belief in this person, in this "I," in this "me," brings about all kinds of present action in this particular world, where the center of this world is the ego itself. This quality of action that arises from this center, which is the "I," the ego, is egocentric action, it is action in duality. Therefore, what is the truth of free action? I repeat: It is the presence of an action where Divine Intelligence is revealing itself as the very Divine Presence, as the very Presence of God. Thus, your contact with him or her is not contact with a person, it is contact with Truth.

Therefore, knowing what real action means, requires comprehension of what the truth about ourselves means, what brings about the true relation with life. It is the presence of this learning about ourselves, therefore, this learning about Self-awareness that gives us this vision of God. It is something that reveals itself here, in this instant, when there is the presence of Meditation. Therefore, learning about Self-awareness allows us to look, listen, and perceive our reactions. This is what opens up the door to this Divine Intelligence, to this Real Consciousness, to this real vision of life.

Here, the expressions "Consciousness," "Intelligence," or "real vision of life" point to something outside the mind, outside thought. Therefore, what is the truth about Meditation? What is Meditation? For many, the word "meditation" refers to a technique or practice. Thus, the person engages in a spiritual practice, a spiritual technique. They sit down, close their eyes, recite a mantra, breathe in a certain way, and there it is what they call meditation. Here, with you, we are presenting this expression in a different way.

The contact that reveals the Reality of this moment, free from the past, is the contact with this Self, with Divine Reality, with the Truth of God. It is in this sense that we have the presence of Meditation here. Meditation is when the mind is silent, when the brain quiets down, when that false action, arising from that illusory identity, is no longer present, because there is contact with the moment without the past.

Thus, it's not something that's present when you're sitting cross-legged and breathing in a certain way; it's something that's present in everyday life, in living, moment by moment, in that contact with thoughts, feelings, sensations, in that contact with others, in that contact with situations, in that contact with work or family. When the mind is in this space of silence, of stillness, a clear perception of the moment is revealed.

Therefore, what is meditation? Meditation, what is it? It is the presence of the instant revealing itself, without the "I." Thus, meditation is present when the "I" is not, when the "person" is not. Can we bring this encounter into our lives, into our daily lives, moment by moment? This encounter with God, this encounter with Truth, this encounter with silence, while you walk, while you drive your car.

Therefore, dealing with professional matters, dealing with life, without the idea of ??someone, of this "me," there is a quality of action free from the "I," there is a quality of contact in relations free from this particular world of the person. This is the presence of this Being, this is the Divine Presence, it is the presence of Meditation.

Therefore, the truth of this encounter with God is not something that is done when someone does it, it is something that shows itself, presents itself, when this Divine Reality presents itself. You don't go to Reality, It comes to You and reveals itself as your Being, when there is the presence of this learning about ourselves, because, in this way, there is an emptying of this internal content of egoic identity, of belief, of patterns. It is when all these models of behavior of the "I," of ego behavior, are undone. This is real transformation, the true change within relations.

This true encounter with relations is the true encounter with the truth of communion, with life, where Love is present, where Peace and Freedom are present. Thus, the basis for this encounter with God consists in discarding the "I"; and this discarding of the "I" requires the presence of this vision about ourselves. Note that there is no separation between comprehending the truth about yourself and the awareness of Meditation, just as there is no separation between the truth of Meditation, which is the absence of this "me," this "person," and the Revelation of this Presence of God.

Your Natural State of Being is Divine Reality, it is the Reality of God. We are before That which is indescribable, unnameable. Therefore, we need to free ourselves from this false notion of identity, from this illusory identity. This frees us from this false action, from what we comprehend by personal intelligence and meditation. This frees us from this illusion of a future for an encounter with God. This frees us from these various beliefs that thought has established in us about this encounter with Truth.

This is what we're working on with you during these meetings. We have online meetings on weekends where we're together Saturday and Sunday, two days online. So, here's the invitation for you. We have the WhatsApp link here for you to participate in these online weekend meetings. In addition to these online meetings, we also have in-person meetings and retreats. If this makes sense to you, here's the invitation. Leave a "like," subscribe to the channel, and comment: "Yes, this makes sense." Okay? See you soon. Thanks for the meeting, and until next time!

Doubt and Confusion | How To Find God | Meditation: What Is It? | Learning About Self-Awareness

Here the matter is the matter of doubt, doubt and confusion. Why is this present in our lives? Why are our actions problematic actions, conflicting actions? Because we are basically stuck in a pattern of repetitive thought. We have a way of dealing with life based on the criteria of thought. Thus, our actions are directed by thought.

There is a quality of action that we are unaware of. It is action free from the model, from the structure of this internal conditioning, from this programmed way of dealing with situations that is based on the motive of thought. I am referring to this psychological thought. What is this psychological thought?

We have an action, in life, that is very simple, very natural; technical actions are actions like this. When you occupy yourself with a certain task, all the knowledge you have there, all the skill or technique you have there, is something present due to knowledge you bring, experience you bring; thus, you make use of thought, of the structure of technical knowledge, of specialization. This quality of action is simple. There is no confusion or emotional disorder in this quality of action; it is the action of knowledge and experience.

However, in our relationships, what we experience in our actions is the presence of confusion and doubt. Doubt and confusion are present in my relationship with you, in your relationship with him or her, in your relationship with situations in life. Thus, the presence of doubt and confusion constitutes a problem you cannot address, because you do not know how to look at it. To become aware of the problem is to attack the problem directly.

Our basic idea is to escape the problem, to run away from the problem, to free ourselves from the problem without the direct understanding of it. This produces even more doubts and more confusion, because when you try to escape a problem, you have present in that attempt to escape, in that movement of fleeing, the presence of fear. Thus, fear drives us to run away; running feeds fear and, thus, we remain in doubt and confusion.

What we lack in life is the awareness of this self-discovery, for a lucid, clear mind that deals with life without this model of repetitive thought. This thought that repeats is psychological thought; therefore, it is not that thought you make use of to deal with common intelligence in these technical matters. Here we need the presence of an Intelligence of another order-the Intelligence that allows us to deal with the present moment free from thought.

We do not need this background of psychological thought to deal with him or her, to deal with ourselves, to deal with matters in life. What is necessary here is the presence of Intelligence-and Intelligence is this clear, lucid mind that deals with the moment without the past. The mind we know is the mind trapped in a pattern of conditioning; in this conditioning, we have this movement of repetitive thought. This thought repeats because it has not completed itself; they are experiences that have not ended.

When you annoy me, offend me, hurt me, the element present here, this "me," this "I," becomes offended, becomes annoyed, becomes hurt, and we register this. When we meet each other again, there it is that quality of feeling in this relationship due to the presence of this thought, this idea that I have about you, about who you are to me. This is what we are calling thought that repeats, thought that continues. This is the psychological thought in this structure of the "I," in this structure of the "ego."

Thus, we have a quality of memory that deals with practical matters in life, and we have a quality of memory that deals with abstractions. This feeling of pain in the relationship, the presence of rejection, anguish, boredom, depression, stress, all this represents a quality of action in the behavior of each one of us, where this movement is present, which is the movement of the "I," of the "ego," this background of memories that are present unnecessarily in this body and mind. These thoughts haven't been concluded; they are present here, giving shape and foundation to this "I."

To examine this closely, to become aware of this whole process, requires understanding the truth about this, which represents looking directly. Learning about Self-awareness is to be open to this moment so that we may know directly the Reality that is present here beyond the known, which reveals itself when we discover the art of Meditation. There is something present in Life, and without this vision of what is present here, there is no Love, Beauty, Freedom.

What brings into your life the presence of Love, Happiness, Peace, this Beauty, is the presence of Meditation. Therefore, what is Meditation? Meditation, what is it? It is the presence of this Awareness of Being, something that reveals itself to you as being You in your Natural State of Being, free from this background of psychological memories, free from this "I," this structure of repetitive movement.

The presence of this mind conditioned for reactive responses, responses born of the past-the presence of this mind is the presence of the ego. The Truth of Meditation, which Blossoms when there is Self-awareness, allows this Life to reveal itself here and now, without the "I," without the "ego." This is the Truth of an encounter with God in this encounter with Life.

The question is: How to find God? For this question there is only one answer: The encounter with God is present when the "I," the "ego," is no longer present, when this structure of mental conditioning, of psychological conditioning, of psychological memory, is no longer present. Therefore, attending to this moment requires this Intelligence that frees you from the illusion of being someone here who is offended, hurt, sad, annoyed with him or her.

Your Natural State of Being is free of the "I" and therefore free of suffering. There is no doubt or confusion in this Being that is You. It is the presence of the egoic mind, in its movement of psychological disorder, feeding this separation between you and the other, between you and life, between you and God, that sustains problems and, naturally, conflicts and suffering.

When we know how to listen to this, when we learn to really listen to what is being addressed here, these matters become, for each one of us, of great relevance, of great importance, and, yes, it is something that deserves to be considered with depth-all these issues we address here with you, because they involve the Beauty of an encounter with transformation; with the transformation that is born of Self-awareness, of this learning about Self-awareness. This Reveals Life, this Reveals God.

And it is what we are investigating here with you, the possibility, in this life, of freeing ourselves from this center, this "I," this "ego," to go beyond this person who lives within this superficiality of life, this artificial life-offending, being offended, hurting, being hurt, annoying others and being annoyed, saddening the world and living the sadness of the world.

Therefore, is it possible for this transformation to occur so that we no longer cultivate this background of this model of psychological thought? This is something very, very radical; it is a complete rupture, a profound change, it is the end of memory, the end of thought. Thus, practical memory for technical matters continues, but the weight of psychological memory is no longer there, because now this Reality is present of this encounter with Life, with the Divine Reality, with the Truth of this Being.

Generally, in the process of transforming ourselves or seeking a transformation in life, we pursue this in a technical manner as well, making use of some level of technical knowledge as well, and here we are telling you that this is entirely unnecessary. Everything we need for this real transformation, for this real perception of Reality-what some call the Awakening of Consciousness-everything we need is to discover how to stop nurturing this psychological memory, this idea "I was this yesterday and I will be that tomorrow."

This "I will be" is the cultivation of memory, and every movement you make toward this cultivation of memory is still the continuation of this memory; it is the memory that continues-perhaps in another format, but the "I," the "ego," is there. For this reason, there is no real change, no real transformation in this center. Here it is about the detonation of this center, the end of this center, its disappearance.

We have insisted a lot on this here, because we need to hear this a lot, really a lot. This is why we are always returning to these matters. The angles are different, but we are looking in this direction. This quality of communication here is quite complicated, because, as people, we cannot listen, we cannot see the Beauty in this appreciation of these themes, because we are too involved in this life of the "I," this life of the ego.

If you are here and now, it is because something touched you internally to discover something beyond the mind, beyond the known, beyond this pattern, which is the pattern of a person, of someone in life. Yes, there is something present beyond all of this, and when we know how to listen correctly, something happens, something arises. The real invitation to Life is the invitation to Freedom, to Love, and Happiness. The Awareness of God is this; it is the Awareness of this Being; it is the Awareness about You. This is what we are working on here together.

It is like when you find yourself in an extremely pleasant place; in that moment, your mind quiets down, the brain becomes silent, and a new, inner space arises within you, of deep relaxation, of deep contemplation of that instant, of that moment. And when this is present, the "I" is not present, the "ego" is not present. At certain moments in life we feel this way.

When we are listening to music or watching a sunset, or hearing the sound of the waves there, seated on a beach, in that moment there is a natural stillness. You did not silence the mind; it silenced itself. You did not make use of a technique or meditation practice. Therefore, the real sense of Meditation is this space that arises naturally when the sense of the "I" is not present. Here we have various videos working on this with you.

When you discover what it is to look at the present moment without the past, you do not draw conclusions, you do not make evaluations, you do not make choices, and this reveals this space of silence, of stillness, and something is present here beyond the mind. Our invitation here is toward a free Life, a Real Life, a Life in this true encounter with God, in this living this Being, in this living the Divine.

Thus, these meetings we have here on weekends. we have online meetings here on Saturday and Sunday. I want to extend this invitation to you, two days in an online format. Here, in the description of the video, you have our link to participate in these meetings. In addition to these online meetings, we have in-person meetings and also retreats. If what you have just heard is something that makes some sense to you, here is an invitation: Leave your "like", subscribe to the channel, and write here in the comments, "Yes, this makes sense." Ok? And we'll see each other. Thanks for the meeting, and see you next time!

Spiritual Awakening. How to find God? Meditation: What Is It? Learning about Self-awareness.

The real comprehension of Life requires a vision free from illusion. The way we experience, in thought, is invariably always like this, coming from a mistake of ideas, beliefs, conclusions, and evaluations. This is how this 'I,' this 'me,' this 'person' experiences life.

Here we are investigating with you the Truth of the Revelation of That which is present here and which shows itself beyond the 'I' and, therefore, beyond this format of dealing with life, of dealing with the moment, of dealing with experience. In general, our criterion comes from the experiencer. So, we have to investigate this.

What are our experiences? They are experiences that happen from an entity that sees itself as present; this entity is this 'person,' it is this 'me.' This is how our experiences are; in them we have the presence of this experiencer and the situation, the event, which is the experience. This brings us closer to life in duality. We have, on one side, the experience, and on the other side, the experiencer.

The experiencer is the person that I am, and the experience is what I am living. That is what we are investigating here, the fallacy of this, the illusion present in this posture, in this condition of contact with life. The presence of this experiencer in the experience is the illusion of an entity being present.

When you come and ask: 'What is Spiritual Awakening?' It is the awareness of Life without the experiencer, it is the understanding of Existence without the 'I,' it is the perception of Reality when there is no longer this illusion, this separation, this idea of someone within life. Your Natural State of Being is One with Life, which represents this Real encounter with God. When you ask the question 'How to find God?', here is the answer: by assuming the Reality of Being, that which is present here is the Divine Reality.

We were educated into the belief that God is there, somewhere, distant and separate from 'me': 'I am here and He is there. I need to have a meeting with Him.' Notice, once again we place the image of an experience to be attained in the future, an experience for this experiencer. Thus, we were taught, educated into this belief, into this model, into this pattern of intellectual affirmation of this idea: the idea is 'I' and the 'non-I,' 'I' and God.

Thus, we have devoted ourselves to all kinds of paths, spiritual practices, techniques, teachings, to discover how to have this meeting, how to attain this meeting, and the idea is, basically, tomorrow, in this future of the mind, which is the psychological future. It is thought that projects this meeting, imagines this meeting, idealizes this meeting as an experience. It is thought, in this format of the thinker, that imagines the future for itself, having this meeting with God.

Divine Reality is the awareness of this Being, and awareness of this Being is the awareness of Life, and this is not something that separates itself from That which is You in your Divine Nature, in your Real Nature. How can we become aware of this? Through Meditation! Therefore, what is Meditation? 'Tell us about Meditation.' Most of us expect a teaching, a technique, a path. Meditation is the Flowering of your Being. There is no path to Meditation, there is no technique for Meditation.

Your contact with Meditation is your contact with yourself, and this is not learned from someone; we become aware of this. Here, there is a way of approaching this. Yes, there is a way, but it is not as thought imagines. The way of approaching the awareness that reveals God, which is the presence of Meditation, is learning to look without someone, to listen without someone.

Have you ever noticed that when you are in a place like by the edge of a river, watching the waters flowing, and your eyes, at that moment, are looking at those waters. See, this looking, when the eyes meet the waters, that light upon the waters, those trees around there, this meeting, in this looking, is only the looking. Have you ever noticed that at this moment there is no one looking, there is only the looking?

This 'someone' arises when a thought about that arises. But when there is only the looking, this someone does not exist; we do not have the presence of this someone because we do not have a thought about that, to like or dislike, to say: 'How beautiful this is!' 'What a wonderful place!' When thoughts like these arise, at that moment you arise and the looking is lost; it is no longer there. At that moment, you are present absorbed in a psychological condition of idea, which is the presence of thought. But when there is only the looking, there is no thought, there is no idea, there is no image whatsoever about that. It is only the looking, and in that instant there is no 'I,' there is no psychological background to like or dislike, to appreciate or not appreciate.

There is a quality of Being present, and this Being is the Nature of Life, it is the Divine Nature. At this moment, for a few seconds, this state of mind changes: the mind quiets, your brain becomes silent, and in that instant there is an encounter with Meditation. This happens when you are before a sunset or a sunrise. For a few seconds, there is no one in this looking, in this perceiving, in this verifying.

Here, the presence of Meditation, in the same way that you did not learn how to look at that river, that sunset, here we do not need to learn how to look, it is just to look. To look at a thought that arises carrying a sensation, or a feeling that arises loaded with a quality of thoughts, just look, without interfering with it. In this looking, something reveals itself beyond this 'I,' so this thought does not sustain itself, this feeling and thought do not establish themselves.

Thus, the mind quiets, the brain becomes silent, and a new, inner space opens up; in this space, Meditation reveals itself. It is not someone meditating. It is the presence of the space of Silence itself, of stillness, of the absence of this 'I,' of the absence of this one to interfere, the very presence of Meditation. Therefore, learning about Self-awareness is becoming aware of these reactions when they arise, without interfering with them. Then, at this moment, the presence of Meditation reveals itself.

Therefore, what is Meditation? Meditation, what is it? It is the presence of this instant without the 'I.' And when we have this instant without the 'I,' we have the presence of Life. As there is no separation between Life as it is and the Reality of this Being, here we have the answer to the question 'How to find God?' It is present here. There is a Reality present; it is not the reality of someone, it is not the reality of something; it is the Truth of this Being, it is That which is here beyond everything, beyond names and forms.

Thus, the verification of the Truth of God consists in the Awareness of Being; this reveals this Natural State free from the 'I,' free from the 'ego.' This is the presence of Spiritual Awakening or Spiritual Awakening. Therefore, we need to discover, at this moment, what it is to have contact with this instant without the past. Without the past is without the idea of what this represents, it is without the interpretation that thought generally makes about life as it happens. Without the past, it is without choice, it is without liking and disliking. Without the past, it is without the image of what this represents.

It is very common for your contact with people to be established in this format. You are always dealing with people based on ideas you have about them. These ideas are the images you have of him or her. These images are memories you keep in this contact with him or her. Thus, we are constantly reinforcing this experiencer, because in life we are having experiences all the time.

A real invitation to this state free from the 'ego,' free from the 'I,' is the invitation to an experiencing without the experiencer, to a perceiving without the perceiver, to a relation without this background that sustains relationships, which is the image, the memory, the recollection of him or her. That is, when we no longer have the presence of the past, we no longer have the importance, the specialism of an identity that sees itself as present to control the situation, seeing itself as the center of the experience. This is the 'I,' the 'ego,' the presence of the experiencer.

Thus, to look at the moment, to look at life without the observer, to listen to the moment without this element that listens, is to no longer feed this specialism of the 'I.' And, thus, we discover that Life happens when there is no longer this someone. This is a vision of the Totality of Life without this psychological background. Therefore, your real encounter with God is the verification that what is present here is not the 'I,' is not the ego.

Notice that we are talking to you here about something natural. It is not something that is achieved, that is attained through effort. Thus, the presence of Meditation does not happen through effort, the vision of Self-awareness does not arise through effort. When we discover what it is to simply look, listen, perceive, we have the Revelation of That which is present here when the 'I' is not, when the 'ego' is not. And, thus, it becomes clear, in this relation with the life around us, that we are before Love, before Peace, before Freedom. This is the Peace in each one of us, the Love present, something innate, it is the Truth of this Being in each one of us.

This entity that separates itself does not exist, this 'me' that makes itself present does not exist. The presence of this vision, the presence of this understanding is the presence of God. Therefore, we need to become aware of this in life. Therefore, when we become aware of that which is present here, this relation becomes clear, this relation with actions, with thoughts, as well as with feelings, without someone present in this contact, in this relation. This quality of action is no longer the action of someone; it is the action of the Unknown, of That which is indescribable.

Contact with the Divine Reality is the end for the mind as we know it, for all the patterns of adjustments within ideas, beliefs, concepts, as we know them. Something new is present, and this something new means this action that is not born from the 'I,' it is action that is born from this Intelligence, from this Freedom. This occurs when we free ourselves from this false action of the 'I,' when we free ourselves from this idea of someone being present, when we free ourselves from this 'me.' Then, That which is eternal reveals itself, That which is unnameable, indescribable.

The very awareness of God is the Truth about You and, naturally, about the other. A Life free from suffering, free from confusion, free from disorder is the only Real Life. It is no longer life as thought knows it and recognizes it from itself; it is Life as it truly is when there is no longer the illusion of the 'I.'

The 'I' has created in us the illusion of what should be. The vision of life shows us, clearly, that there is no such thing as 'what should be'; it is Life as it is. To comprehend the Truth is Wisdom, it is the presence of Intelligence and of response free from the past. That is what we are interested in here with you. Our meetings are weekend meetings; we are Saturday and Sunday together.

I want to leave an invitation here for you. It is two days in an online format for us to deepen this. You have here, in the video description, our WhatsApp link to participate in these online meetings on the weekends. In addition to these meetings, we have in-person meetings and also retreats. If this is something that makes any sense to you, here is the invitation. Leave your like, subscribe to the channel, and leave a comment here: 'Yes, this makes sense.' Ok? And we'll see each other. Thanks for the meeting, and until next time!"

Learning about Self-Awareness | How to find God? | How to find Happiness? | Kundalini

It's quite common for some to think that an experience called kundalini is necessary to achieve this encounter with God. Here, the expression is "how to find," in the phrase "how to find God," or "how to find happiness." For some, it's about going through an experience; we need to investigate this, this question of experience.

When do we have an experience? It's when we remember what happened. We can only speak of an experience as a memory, as something we went through. Therefore, every memory refers to something that has already been, that has already occurred, that has already happened; it necessarily requires the presence of an element speaking of that lived experience. The presence of this element is the experiencer.

There is no experience without the experiencer, and we are emphasizing this all the time, the need to have an encounter with an experience for an encounter with Truth, for an encounter with God or with happiness. However, who is this element present for this encounter if not the very presence of the experiencer? But who is this experiencer? It is the one who recorded in the past what they lived. Therefore, it is not a new experience called an encounter with God that we need.

We do need to become aware of the Reality of God; that is the true encounter, but that is not an experience. Every experience, because there is an experiencer in that experience, what is present is the account of the continuity of this experiencer. But Divine Reality, the Reality of Happiness, is not for the "I." What is the truth of this "I," since this "I" is the experiencer itself, it is the element that comes from the past?

When we are addressing this question of this encounter with God, we are directly stating the real need for the end of the past model, the end of the model of the experiencer, which is the "I." Therefore, the truth of the encounter with Happiness, of the encounter with God, resides in the comprehension of the truth about the "I," which is the experiencer. Therefore, this encounter does not reside in an experience. This encounter is something that is present when the experiencer is no longer there and, therefore, the experience is no longer present.

For most people, tired as they are of a tedious, repetitive, monotonous, problematic, unhappy life, they are projecting, idealizing an encounter with a profound, meaningful, rich experience that they call kundalini. The expression "kundalini" does indeed point to an experience for most people. However, the truth of this encounter with Supreme Reality is not an experience.

Therefore, the expression "kundalini," which refers to this Presence or this energy of Divine Consciousness, of Real Consciousness, is not for the experiencer. Therefore, it is not something like an experience, but something that reveals itself precisely when there is no longer the model of continuity of an identity that returns with its memory, its past, its recollection, its experience.

So, there's a great deal of confusion here when people use the expression "kundalini," because they identify it as an experience for someone, the experiencer, whereas Divine Reality, the Reality of God, which is this Supreme Presence or Energy, is the absence of the "I," the absence of any experience. That is kundalini.

What is present as the real presence of kundalini reveals itself in the absence of the "I," in the absence of the ego, in the absence of an experiencer. Then, an energy, which is this Divine Presence, occupies this space in this body and in this mind. So, it is in this sense that we have to comprehend what the answer to the question "how to find God" means, as well as "how to find happiness," as well as "how to find love."

We are talking about the Reality of this Being, which is God, which is this Presence. In this sense, the expression "kundalini," which points to this Divine Energy, this absence of that center, which is the "I," is the Reality of kundalini, it is the Reality of Being, it is the Reality of God.

See, we are dealing with different expressions pointing to a single Reality, which is present here when there is no longer illusion. However, no matter how broad, deep, and significant an experience may be for someone, that experience will still remain within that quality of experience for the experiencer, and that experiencer will retain that experience and will need new experiences, because no experience is definitive. What is present as real, is not an experience, it is not something that happens in time and repeats itself in time.

The truth, therefore, of Kundalini, the truth, therefore, of God, of Happiness, the truth, therefore, of this Being is something that is present here, but it is not what happens in time, it is something that reveals itself when there is no more time. The presence of time, notice, is the presence of the model of continuity. We never speak of time without continuity.

Time, for all of us, is what was, what is, and what will be. It is here that the presence of time resides. But where is time situated when we no longer have thought? If no thought is present within you, in what time are you? Are you in the past, the present, or the future? When thought is not, how is it possible for the idea of ??the present to arise? See, the present is an idea that arises between what was and what will be, between the past and the future.

There is no time when there is no thought. There is no experience when there is no past. There is no past without time. There is no time without thought. Therefore, the reality of Kundalini is that which is outside of time and, therefore, outside of experience. And I repeat: If there is no experience, there is no experiencer.

This moment here is a moment of contact with what is. Yes, there is a quality of experiencing, but the experiencer does not exist in this quality of experiencing. There is nothing to say about what happened, about what is happening. So, there is no such thing as what happened, or what is happening, or what will happen when there are no records. These records are memories, recollections, experiences recorded for the experiencer.

So, the great truth of the Awakening of this Real Presence, this timeless Consciousness, is Kundalini, but it is not for someone. It is precisely when there is no longer this "me," this "someone," then we have That which is timeless, That which is outside of time, That which is not part of the model of continuity, which is recollection, memory, records in this brain.

The question is: How does this encounter with God, this Kundalini Awakening, become possible? Comprehend, this encounter with God, this Kundalini Awakening is not something in time. The idea of ??encountering is in time, the idea of ??awakening is in time, but notice how interesting all this is. When you are sleeping and you wake up, did this awakening occur in time? Awakening is something that happens, but there is not a relation between time and awakening. In awakening, the illusion of the continuity of sleep, of the continuity of the dream, becomes clear.

Therefore, the awareness of Awakening is the vision of That which is outside of continuity, outside of the known, something entirely different; we are before something radically new, unknown, unnamable, indescribable. This is the presence of this Awakening, this is the presence of this awareness of That which is timeless, of That which is not in the known, of That which is not in continuity, of That which puts an end to continuity, or the idea, or the thought of continuity.

So, the question is: How does this become possible? This becomes possible when we learn about ourselves. It is fundamental to have the awareness of how thought processes itself within each of us. When you discover what it is to look without interfering with thought, you realize that thought moves within this perspective of continuity, of permanence of time.

Learning about Self-awareness is discovering how to look at our reactions and clearly perceive that thought is the memory of what has already been. It is this thought that speaks to us of what is here, from its own perspective, and speaks to us of what will be, from the imagination it brings of itself. This is the continuity of the thought model. This is exactly how we function.

The idea of ??a person, of being someone present, is a thought that speaks to this "me," this "I," that came from the past and is here, now, moving towards the future. When we learn to look at this movement of thought, that is learning about ourselves. When we learn to listen to this movement, to perceive this movement without interfering with it, we approach this instant that reveals something outside the thought model and, therefore, something outside the model of continuity, which is the presence of time.

Therefore, when time ends, because thought has ended, we have the Revelation of That which is present here beyond the known; this is Real Consciousness, Divine Consciousness, God, Happiness, Kundalini, whatever name you want for That which is beyond an experience, an experiencer, an identity that moves in time, which is this person.

Therefore, speaking of this encounter with God, speaking of this encounter with happiness, for the person, is an illusion. The person will never be happy; they will experience moments of pleasure, moments of satisfaction, moments of fulfillment, but along with these moments, other moments will arise. So, the person has moments of peace, of what they understand as peace, moments of pleasure, of what they understand as pleasure, which when we investigate, when we look closely at this peace, it is not real peace; this pleasure is also laden with suspicion, dread, dependence, and fear.

So, the Truth of Happiness is not for the person; it is the nature of this Being, it is the nature of the Truth about You when Reality, which is Supreme Reality, is present here. That is the Reality of God. Therefore, to speak of kundalini as an experience is a misconception. Therefore, to speak of happiness as an experience is a deception. We are dealing with the still-present model of thought projecting what thought imagines to be God in this encounter, to be kundalini in this encounter, to be happiness, to be love in this encounter.

Thus, thought is always projecting this, and everything it projects, in reality, is within its known context. Anything it finds will still be part of it, will be within its own model. Thus, when people speak of experiences they have had, they are speaking of what they lived, but they remain there.

The Reality of this Being is not an experience for someone, it is the Revelation of That which is present here when someone, this "me," this "I," is no longer here. Therefore, Happiness is not a state for a person, just like Love, Freedom, Peace, the awareness of God, the awareness of this Being. That's what we're here with you, working on in these meetings.

We have online meetings on weekends, where we're together Saturday and Sunday - two days online. I want to extend an invitation to you. You can find our link to participate in these online weekend meetings in the video description. In addition to 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!
