The Real Self-Knowledge

I am here calling your attention to something of extreme importance. It is essential in this meeting that you be receptive, with a profound sensibility to listen with the heart, or otherwise you will get nothing here. I am pointing out Something the majority human beings have given no importance at all. The world as everybody knows is something subjective, and what predominates in most people’s live is anxiety, unhappiness, depression, despair, fear. People’s live have been like this because they live within this subjective world, this mental world.
At this meeting, I want you to look at this closely. See if indeed what you know as world has any reality. Here, the first point is to perceive the world you know is subjective, due to a complete lack of vision about Your Self. This makes human being assume an illusory life based on thought.
To investigate this is the possibility of finding out What the great majority has not perceived yet. What I am saying to you is that the majority is living in this subjective world, personal, that is, identified with thoughts. This “sense of person” is something outside of Reality! People are living outside of Reality, of Real Life, of Life as It is, because the world they know is this subjective world.
Here, your interest must be to find out what means to discard this illusion of subjectivity, the illusion of this world, so that all burden will disappear. This unhappiness, anguish, negative feelings, conflicts, fears, all these happen because of these internal images the mind produces, of this sense of separation in which human being is living. So, these images, these pictures, these internal dialogues, all these therein are creating this subjective world.
In this world, you are lost, imprisoned, contracted, so there is no Peace, Freedom, Serenity, Tranquility, Happiness. This is the ordinary known state; this is the model, the human pattern of living. It is something quite curious, funny and, simultaneously, unhappy and miserable. Instead of Peace, Freedom, Silence, what exists are afflictive, desperate feelings, preoccupation, that is, all kinds of negative feelings and images.
This ordinary model, in which you may have already been for many years, is something learned, an imitation of a general model present around you. This is the result of the lack of understanding the Truth about who, in fact, You are! Through these meetings, you have the opportunity of approaching This. Therefore, here we deal with the Real Self-knowledge, that is not the psychological knowledge of this “entity,” of this “person.” Actually, it is the verification that there is no “person,” no psychological “entity.” What I am saying is that there is a Reality present, and only This can put an end to this imaginary subjective world of fear, unhappiness, conflict, despair, anxiety, where there is huge suffering, burden, sadness… Notice what I am saying here!
This subjective world is present, but it is something imaginary! The most singular thing is the opportunity of seeing Life in all its Fullness when there is no longer this psychological background of a false identity present. That is why Realization of God is the most singular and unique thing for each one of us, because it is the Discovery of the Reality of Life, of Life as It is, and not as the thought has been producing. In the world where there are more than 7 billion people, what predominates is this sense of “person,” the misery of living in the mind. To live under the domain of thought, under the impulse of desires, under the constant attempt of running away from a psychological pain, is a curious thing, funny and simultaneously complex and miserable.
The fact is that you have an internal movement happening – thoughts, feelings, emotions – and you get lost within the illusion of being identified with it. This is the separatist sense, the “me” what I have called “subjective life.” The clear perception of the illusion of all this, is the end of “me,” of the “person,” of the sense of separation. Thus, the body continues, life continues, but now in Fullness, in Consciousness, in Peace, in Freedom, in Happiness! This is inexplicable. It is outside the known, outside of what the mind can understand.
In the Bible, Paul calls This “The Peace that surpasses all knowledge.” This is the Peace of God that surpasses all reason, all human understanding! It means Life as Consciousness; no longer in the mind, in this prison of liking, disliking, fearing, desiring, judging, criticizing, fleeing… How is this for you? What I am saying here is something that causes very little interest. The “person” is not interested in This, for it sounds as something out of his/her reality. We know that This sounds very strange, however, if you look closely, you will see this talk is right, it is completely right.
