As
always, I am bringing you this remembrance or showing you its
importance, which is the remembrance of the Truth about You. The
state of unconsciousness or "sleep" does not allow you to
access that remembrance. Most part of the time you forget It
completely, and this forgetfulness comes from the unconsciousness
itself, which is this common state of “sleep.” The remembrance is
that your True Nature is this Consciousness and there is no other
thing happening except It. Everything is part of this unique
Consciousness. It is the Source of the apparitions. It is in It that
everything appears and disappears. I invite you to this Consciousness
where this remembrance is possible.
Forgetfulness
is the ordinary state, is the mental state, and here we call it
unconsciousness. It is a truly “sleep” state. In it, the “dream”
is taken for Reality; unconsciousness is taken for Consciousness;
“sleep” is taken for the Awakening state; and illusion is taken
for the Truth. Thus, my whole purpose when we are in Satsang
is to bring you this remembrance, to make you aware of What we are.
Nothing has ever happened in your life outside of this Consciousness
– and it will never happen. Nothing else is real but this
Consciousness.
People,
objects, and events in your life have appeared and disappeared within
this Consciousness, which is your Reality. You believe you are in an
experience in a material world, but actually this material world or
the apparition of this world is something present within this unique
Consciousness. It is not you experiencing this material world. There
is no material world being experienced.
What
I am saying is that there is not a separate world from You. There is
no this world and there is no this “you” as subject and object.
This separation is the illusion. Then, we are facing an extraordinary
and beautiful game, a Divine game. It is the game of apparent
separateness, apparent duality, of the apparent division between
observer and observed thing, between the thinker and his/her thought,
between the world and “I.” None of this is as it seems to be.
Nothing is happening as it seems to be happening. This is the whole
game! Everything is being unfolded within this Consciousness. It is a
perfect expression of This Oneness.
Therefore,
there is a constant change with appearance and disappearance;
however, this is not true! Apparently, this is taking this format.
This is very interesting because you can even create the illusion
that you need to awaken inside this dream, but, in fact, this dream
is not happening for “someone” who needs to awaken. This dream is
something within This Consciousness, and It is not going to awaken!
It is something present, always present, as your Real Nature, your
True Nature.
Here,
you need to disidentify from this illusion of the duality, from the
belief of a present identity separating itself from the experience.
This ignorance about the Truth, about your Self, is just an illusion.
Once this illusion is seen, there is no more illusion, and This is
the Truth! So it is not about Awakening or being Enlightened one day.
This is a very delicate subject... This expectation about future is
also something inside this dream, this illusion. There is no future!
Future is always for the mind and not for You. You are not the mind!
Future is always for the body that experiences the change, and it is
the mind that lives within the psychological time. Then, there is the
chronological time of the body and the psychological time of the
mind, while You are not within any time.
Therefore,
when we talk about Awakening, Enlightenment, Realization, we are not
talking about something within time. We are talking exactly about the
end of the illusion of time. We are facing a fascinating game, which
is exactly this: the mind sees itself within time and the body feels
itself within time. Nevertheless, here the key is to disidentify from
body and mind. That´s why I work with you in Satsang this matter of
Meditation, of true Meditation! There are many so called “meditation”
out there, but it is not about this kind of “meditation” we are
talking about. We are talking about the Meditation in which there is
the Truth of the absence of the meditator, the practice, the
technique and of all the other things the mind, in an ingenious way,
has built for this word called “meditation.”
The
Real Meditation reveals the Truth of what You are – this present
Consciousness appearing as everything without any separation. The
Real Meditation is this “seeing in the clarity.” It is about seeing this whole game. Therefore, it is not about the
world disappearing, but about the end of the illusion of “someone” present
as an entity separate from the experience “body-mind-world.”
When, in an illusory way, this character is involved in the game
without the recognition of his or her True Nature, everything is taken
very seriously, and then all dramas and dilemmas of life appear to be
serious problems.
If
there is this recognition of your True Nature inside this game, if
this is seen, the matter of the “dream” is not a real problem
anymore. When your Real Nature becomes clear, obvious, the character
does not need to disappear. It is the illusion of the present
identity, of “someone” present that disappears! Life is this
whole game. This whole dream is what we call life, which is something
happening without any purpose. It is the mind, in the illusion, that
is searching for some purpose. Then, the mind has made it very
serious, very dramatic, and full of dilemmas, conflicts and problems.
Life is what it is!
What
I am saying is that for You, as Consciousness, whatever is present is
already perfect, including this whole game. Thus, every search within
this so called “spirituality”, this search for being special and
for achieving something different from what is present at this
moment, is something without any purpose. There is nothing for us to
achieve. There is no spirituality through which you can evolve and
become someone different – it is all within this illusion. This
“spiritual life” is just a presumption of this individuality,
which projects itself intended to find a union with something
greater, with some superior power or something like that.
