You are always complete as Consciousness! This need for egoic fulfillment is just a fantasy, an illusion. In these schools of psychology, esoterism, therapy, they say it is necessary to find self-esteem, a soul mate, to find the other, that this is a necessity. This is not a necessity! But talking about this need to have someone, to have a partner, to have a friend, to live in society, is a common thing, a social, educational thing, an egoic bias, a model of the world, affirmations of supposed knowers of human mind, of human ego.
Relations will always matter, but relationships, never. Zero importance! Relations are those you have with the baker, with the taxi driver. It's what you have with your son when you're not a plaything in his hand. When he manipulates you, it's not relation but a relationship.
So, relations will always happen. Life is pure relation. Life is in relation with everything! Life is in relation with air, trees, water, waiter, lawyer, doctor, baker, bank teller, boyfriend, girlfriend... but it is just that.
The affirmation of an identity in a relation is relationship. And that affirmation is a denial of your Real Nature, your True Identity, your Real Nature. This is a relationship affirmation between images, and there is no life in relationships like that. Between images, relationships are imagination, something like a world parallel to the world there is... The world that is and the parallel world, imagined by thought, by this movement of images – imagination. Here is all the conflict. Here lies the whole human misery, the whole human suffering.
I said the whole human suffering because, in Nature, this behavior model is entirely unknown. I would not say that this is unknown for the freedom present in Nature, but for unconsciousness in Nature. With the appearance of man, an unconscious consciousness appears, but even though, it is an unconsciousness present within this unique Presence. So, conflict does not appear – or not so evidently – as it does between these so-called human beings. These so-called human beings can realize their True Nature. That True Nature of yours is the Pure Presence. The same Presence behind all Nature.
Your relation with the mind and body must be like the relation of yours with people and the world: a relation in the sense of this Consciousness disidentified with the experience of living. When This is present, there is no conflict, there is no suffering, because there is no such psychological element that is constantly asserting and reaffirming itself through images.
Participant: Either denying, rejecting things or as very euphoric because things happen the way you want so. The mind has also this: either it is very happy or complaining because it is not the way it wants.
Marcos Gualberto: Imagination. Notice it is always a relationship between images. Thus, egoic mind behaves, works and is in a relationship with the body, mind, people and the world: under that imagination. And this is suffering. This is conflict.
I am telling you in Satsang that this idea of the need to be in this movement of relationship with life, with the body, with the mind, with people and with the world is a belief. All that is needed is the relation. Life is under relations, because everything is in a state of relation with something else. But, more important than the meaning of the word "relation" or "relationship," it is the meaning of it, the present Consciousness free of images. Present image-free Consciousness is what I call as relation.
You transform the object that appears in the relation when a subject appears. Or rather, you create an object in the relationship when a subject appears to you. Then, this is transformed into a relationship and the whole burden of the relationship is implied in that moment. Fear is also implied in this movement. This speech is to make clear to you that if there is no relationship at this instant, at this moment, there is no object and no subject. This is the death of a psychological identity, the collapse of this illusion of an identity in this experience. This is the end of "I," the end of "me". If the "I" ends, "others" end. If the "me" ends, "mine" ends: my boyfriend, my husband, my son, my mother, my grandparents, my house, my car... The end of the "me" is the end of "mine." The end of the "I" is the end of "others." Other than that, anything else is just a movement of thought creating a story in this parallel world, in this supposed real world, which is the world of imagination, the world of misery, the world of dukkha, as they say in Buddhism – the world of suffering.
Death is present only when something ends. In the ego, you never know death. Ego represents continuity. If ego doesn't continue in that mechanism there, it continues in other mechanisms. There is no thought in death. I speak of this death where there is no imagination, I speak of this death of the movement of thought and imagination. If this death is present, the movement of thought does not take place. And when it doesn't happen, images don't move, and so there is no imagination – the actions of images. And when that is not there, there is only What Is, and in What is, there is no conflict, there is no suffering.
Follow that?
We are talking about Life without "you." I call this as "leaving the world alone." If you leave the world alone, the world doesn't disturb you. The only world that can disturb is the world of imagination, the world thought creates and you, in this illusion of being somebody, sustain. Sustaining this is a huge heavy effort. What I am saying is that there is no effort to live disidentified with the ego. But there is a lot of effort to uphold the imagination of being someone in an imaginary world created by thought.
In other words, Happiness takes no effort, unhappiness takes a lot of work. To be happy, Happiness is enough. To be unhappy, it is enough to desire, to seek, to search happiness. Here is the effort, the imagination of something to be found by someone who believes is able find it. As long as this belief remains, what is present in that moment – and which is never absent – will never be seen. So, what is now, here, is put within time, thrown into a future imagined by thought itself. It's so patently clear, it's undeniable, present, verifiable, here and now... but it goes into a dimension in this imaginary world of thought that will never be witnessed, will never be demonstrated, will never be recognized.
Did you hear that?
You don't take a leap outside the mind; you don't step into the present moment. You simply disidentify with thinking. And the future, that unreachable, unattainable future that will never come true, all of this ends immediately, in the totality of that instant. This is where all relationships end. In this Consciousness, there are no relationships. This is your real, timeless, nameless, non-conceptual Nature, the only expression.
Your Real Nature is the expression of the Silence that is fullness. Nothing lacks, nothing is needed, nothing is recognizable apart from That. This is my song! Some are listening to my music! Are you listening?
Listen to this symphony of Silence, discover here that there is nothing there! That's it!
