Atma Vichara: the key to Kundalini Awakening | The illusion of psychological time and suffering

Hello everyone, welcome to another meeting here on our channel, talking to you about the end to the illusion of time, yes that's right, the end to the illusion of time.

Human beings live in time, what we call the present, past, and future. That's the condition of human beings, of life for human beings. We live psychologically in time. All the burden of fear, conflict, contradiction, anxiety, depression, boredom, loneliness, and envy, occurs in time.

All this and much more… all that we want to get rid of, we want to be free, since it makes us suffer. All this is closely linked to this issue of time – present, past, and future.

It's in this notion of the present that you believe to be that a memory of what you believe you lived yesterday arises and brings up this whole issue of suffering, envy, jealousy, fear, desire, remorse, guilt... Then, the past carries that and so does the future. And where is that, basically, situated? In this issue of so-called "time." Here, I refer to psychological time.

The question is: is it possible to go beyond this condition? Beyond the condition of life stuck to this notion of time? Life stuck in time, you stuck in time, this "me," this "I," this "person."

Here, the question is: "who am I?" Is it possible for us to investigate this together? Is it possible to clearly see what this psychological time represents to go beyond it by self-investigation, by direct observation of what it represents?

See, the understanding of this awareness, Ramana called self-inquiry or Atma Vichara. This is the key to Spiritual Awakening, to Spiritual Enlightenment, to Kundalini Awakening.

We have several videos here on the channel, talking about this issue of Kundalini, what Kundalini is, and what it represents. Kundalini is a synonymous with Consciousness, Divine Consciousness in You, Divine Presence in you.

If this Divine Consciousness doesn't bloom, doesn't not awaken, if this Presence of Consciousness, which is this Divine Presence doesn't take its place therein this organism, this mechanism, this body-mind, everything continues in the same way, the condition of life within this ego identity.

So, here we are talking to you about what self-inquiry is, the key to Kundalini Awakening. Kundalini is this potential Energy you carry within yourself. It is in a potential state, it hasn't been actualized yet, it hasn't been manifested yet, it sleeps in the body, in this mechanism. A change is needed in all this psychophysical structure, in this organism that is always responding reactively within this context to this false "me," to this "I," to this "person" thought says inside you, is you. Hence the question "who am I?"

You need to comprehend the Truth about who You are. Then, self-investigation leads you, legitimately, to this Discovering, to this Discovery, and this Discovery is nothing else but the very Awakening of this Energy, of this Divine Power, of this Divine Presence, which is Kundalini.

So, this Energy makes a change in this organism, and when it makes a change here in this organism, it completely changes this whole psychophysical structure to a new condition, where the body and mind no longer respond in a reactive way to the old and longstanding proposals of the egoic mind, the dualistic mind, the separatist mind.

I speak of this conditioned mind programmed by culture, by society, of all these patterns within which we were raised to think and feel. Then, there is a new thinking, there is a new feeling, and a new way of responding, without the old and longstanding reactivity programmed into this mechanism, this organism, because it has gone through a shift, it has gone through a transformation, with the Awakening of this Energy that some people call Kundalini.

This is known in Yoga and Tantra. So, within the science of Tantra, within the science of Yoga, when Kundalini Awakening happens, there is a radical change, bringing thus Spiritual Enlightenment.

Now, I must tell you what This really represents since many people are saying that… many people are saying "ah, the Kundalini has awakened," "ah, but I saw the Kundalini awakening," "when the Kundalini has awakened in me…" All this language, all these expressions, they actually represent absolutely nothing, because people are just imagining something.

Kundalini Awakening isn't imagination, it's not a belief, it's not an idea. It's because the person felt a certain tingling in the body during such a meditation practice, or some kind of mystical practice, an esoteric or spiritual practice…

The person felt a tingling in the body, a heat in the body, or some sensation, some kind of pain in the head or had some strange symptoms happening, occurring within that experience, within that particular practice, and then the person says "look, my Kundalini has already awakened."

When there is the real Kundalini Awakening, there is the end of all suffering. I mean all suffering! That's right: all suffering! If you say "ah, the Kundalini has awakened," but when you have a bill to pay… and you get tense, stressed, or very angry at your creditor, to whom you owe, because he charged interest, because he overcharged, or charged it before the right time, as you believe so, although the bill arrived on time;

if there is any internal psychological change, when vicissitudes, adversities, when it arises, when it happens, and you get stressed, nervous, with anger, calling bad names, fighting with everyone, and you say "my Kundalini awakened such a day, while I was meditating, in a retreat," you are on flights of fancy, in an illusion. I've called it "ego's flight of fancy," because when Kundalini awakens, there is an end to this ego identity, so there is a definitive end to suffering.

If your wife leaves you for another man, your girlfriend cheated on you with another one, left you for your best friend, or just by imagining this possibility to occur and internalizing an image of this happening, and fear and some form of suffering arise… when this happens, it clearly demonstrates that there hasn't been a psychophysical change of the kind I'm talking about here.

So, there are a lot of people nowadays saying "my Kundalini awakened," but they are still "people," situating themselves in time and space as separate entities, seeing themselves still separate from Life, from the Whole, from God, not knowing What I have called True Happiness, not knowing Compassion, Love, Freedom, ignoring what I call here as the end of all suffering.

Thus, we have to discard this soon, this imagination, this fantasy about what some consider to be Kundalini or "Kundalini that has awakened." Here, I refer to the end of the sense of separation between you and Life, between you and God, between you and Reality, between you and Love; the end happens. With the Awakening of your Natural State, this Presence or this Supreme intelligence arises.

If this has brought you to this moment, if this represents something important for you, subscribe here on the channel, and also leave a "like" for the video. If you know someone who is working on this or looking for it, share this with them too. Thanks for the meeting and see you next video.
