When you stop daydreaming, projecting yourself psychologically, You are here, then this Space opens up... It is present! This is how Truth, Consciousness, God, that cannot be absent, is always present, but you do not give your heart to That. Here, when we meet each other, it seems something opens up internally, and you find this Freedom of “being nobody.” So, be here, do not go anywhere else.
However, the ego is moving constantly, and this is a vicious movement. When you believe you will have another day, you already begin to imagine the Sun rising. That's how it works. So, what is this “Thing” called Awakening? It is to be in that Space, that is Silence, the Freedom of Intelligence, the absence of this false identity, of this character you always present before your "voters" to see if you win "votes" and manage to be "elected." Similarly to what happens to one of these candidates (we are in the election period, right?), your ego moves, wanting to be very important, to receive “votes,” to be acknowledged, and that is the problem.
When there is Love, Freedom, Intelligence, Truth, you do not search for appreciation. If you are Real in your Being, you are Happy, but you are Happy in Yourself, and not expecting to “win the elections,” waiting for others approval “votes.” This psychological dependence on living measured by applauses, wishing to be beautiful to be appreciated is typical of the egoic mind. I gave up on that! There is a moment when you have to give up these fantasies since this is pure fantasy! The ego always lives in the fantasy of "being someone," being important, beautiful, famous, and this is all too childish.
Remain in your Being, remain in Consciousness, in this Silence, and This is possible when there is Meditation. Thus, God reveals himself! Only then, God is present, not when you are chanting mantras or quoting the words of Jesus, Muhammed, Buddha or Ramana.
What am I recommending you do? I am recommending you to put your heart into That! Put your life in That! Actually, you only have this life, or rather, just this moment to focus your Life on That! So, abandon the illusion of the future, the illusion of time. “Ah! I want to achieve Awakening, I want to achieve Enlightenment.” – this is also a fantasy; one more image of yours.
When you place yourself into that image, you are missing the opportunity to observe what is happening to you, now, here, at this moment. Your mind is playing a trick on you, deceiving you again. You have everything to this discovery, now! There is nothing to do tomorrow or to do in half an hour, since everything is now! It is either now or never! Time is an illusion. So, you are doing the wrong thing: you are busy trying to do something after this moment, and there is this concern, just another idea, of getting somewhere, of "attaining that State."
You worry: “Ah! I want to live in that State. I want to live in this state of Marcos Gualberto.” Folks, this “Marcos Gualberto’s State” is not a state, much less of “Marcos Gualberto;” it is the absence of a state and the absence of Marcos Gualberto. This puts you on an equal footing, since You are not a "person" either, just as there is no state for You since You are Consciousness. So, do not take the future as a real factor. Work at this now! Observe your reactions now, these internal states of conflict, of fear, all created by thought, by the rejection of Life as it shows itself, as it presents itself.
So, this is not the moment to change things. It is the moment to find out everything is in the right place! Truth does not show Itself in changes. Truth shows Itself in the acknowledgment that everything is in the right place, that God is complete, the Presence, Consciousness is complete. You need to understand this with your heart, not your head.
So, this moment, when we are together, is not the moment to worry about changes, but rather to find out this Space is complete and Truth lies in the absence of this illusion of "someone to change." Truth lies in the understanding of this illusion of the “presence of someone to change.” So, it is not the moment to change anything. It is the moment to stay with Life, with Grace, with the beauty of God... It is the moment to stay in Silence.
My job is to show you how simple it is to live in your Being and how complicated it is to remain under this illusory state, thinking like everyone else – like people think – and to depend on infinite beliefs, trying to adjust, to mold yourself to everything you expect from yourself, to everything you demand from yourself and to what others expect from you. All of this is a big joke, a big fantasy that only reinforces fear. Look at you: you are afraid of what others say and think; afraid of what you think about what you did or what you will not be able to do, to “be someone better,” “someone happy.” So, there is always fear behind.
My job is to show you how to live in God, in Consciousness, in Intelligence, in Love; how to be Real and live a full Life, which means not having the illusion of a better future or of a frustrating, disappointing past – this is fantasy. Everything is in the right place, everything worked out, it has always been right. Your mind was interpreting everything there and it is doing this here and now, again, and when future comes, the mind will keep on interpreting everything in the same way.
In the future, you will still feel yourself unsuccessful, just like you feel today when you recall the past as a sad, unsuccessful one. You will do the same when projecting the future that it is in your head. This is all imagination: the mind is producing all these fantasies. So, what do you do? Get rid of all this, abandon the mind, abandon this sense of "me," awake and leave that condition.
