Hey, guys. Welcome to another meeting here on our channel. The subject today here is about duality, the prison that it represents. So, let´s talk about the prison of duality, the mind within this prison, the mind being the matrix of this prison. After all, what is duality?
Duality is the sense of separation, this sense of being someone that you have, you fell. You never doubt this, your identity, and here the issue is not the doubt of the Reality of Being. I talk about doubt, of questioning this particular identity of being someone. Let me put this clearer to you.
Your sense of Being is something present, it is something undeniable. You feel You Are. This sense of Being is the sense of Consciousness itself, it is the sense of Existence itself. This is the natural sense of Being. Apart that, you bring another sense: the sense of being someone, and I want to question this here with you.
When I speak about this issue of duality, I am pointing out the Truth that there is no you and Life, you and Existence, you and God. There is no such thing present as an identity which can be called "I," "me." This is an idea formulated by thought.
Your sense of Being is natural, it is the sense of Being of Consciousness, but this Consciousness does not carry the sense of being a person, a character, someone who lives with an identity separate from the Whole, from Life, from Existence. This is something produced by thought. So, here we face a prison. So, the sense of separation is this sense of duality – you and I, you and the other, you and Life, you and God, you and Consciousness. There is no such thing.
Here we are facing a delicate circumstance, which is a circumstance of a self-imposed prison, in which you subject yourself to live feeling as a separate entity. Naturally, when there is separation, there is fear. You would never be afraid, for example, of getting sick; you would never be afraid of old age or fear of death if you didn´t have this configuration present there, this movement of this body-mind structure, established… this movement grounded in, this configuration grounded in, this programming grounded in this dualistic mind, in this duality of egoic mind. This is a prison.
What I have to tell you in this meeting is that it is possible to go beyond this prison. And here I want to tell to you a little about this principle to go beyond this prison. In order to go beyond this prison, it is necessary the true Understanding, the Real Understanding, the Divine Understanding, the Understanding that is born of Awakening of Consciousness, what implies Self-knowledge. Thus, Self-knowledge gives you the basis for the Awakening of this Consciousness, because while It is sleeping, what prevails is this sense of separation, this sense of duality, this sense of distance between What You are here and now...
Thought creates an idea, an image, a formulation, a story, a narrative, of everything that presents itself. As an example of this, we are here at this moment, apparently, in communication between two. There is no communication between two, there is only communion or a non-dual communication. The idea that you are seeing me, that you are hearing me, it is – as I just put it – an idea. There is seeing and there is hearing, there is no separation in this experience.
When you look at a tree, there isn't you and the tree. There is observation. In this observation there is neither a tree nor a you, there is no observed object and no observer. It is just one experience, there is only one experience. Without the tree, there is no observer, and if the observer is not, the tree is not either, both appear together. And when they appear together, they disappear in a single experience called observation.
So, we can call as observation the non-duality here and now happening. This non-duality… because there is no "you," there is no "I;" the "I" does not exist, there is no "you." What we have is the single experience of observation. This also goes for hearing. If you listen to a bird, the idea is that you are present in this experience. However, the sound is hearing, the hearing is the sound, there is no experiencer – a listener – and the experience – the sound. This division, this duality, does not exist. It is not our real experience. This is a fiction, it is an idea, it is an imagination created by thought.
So, the sense of an "I" present in the experience is not real. When speech takes place, there is speaking, but no one talking; while sound happens, there is listening, not someone listening. In the same way this matter of observation takes place: when there is observation, there is no observer and observed thing.
Now, why is it interesting that we realize this is only ideology, a belief? Because it breaks this pattern of resistance, of manipulation, of trying to escape from that experience. And when this does not happen, the prison ends, because the prison of the sense of duality, of separation, only exists because there is ignorance about the experience present here and now, without experiencer
So, what is said for this issue of observing the tree or for this attention to sound, in this listening without the listener, in this observation without the observer, also applies to the understanding of this process of ego identity. The ego is not real, this sense of someone present is not real. This is very, very, very important!
What I am affirming is that sadness is an experience without someone sad, joy is an experience without someone joyful. Whatever you are feeling is the feeling, but there is no "you." This is very important! Because the people say "I would like or I really need to get rid of sadness, this bitterness, this loneliness, this pain, this trauma…" And all this effort only strengthens the sense of someone present in this. Here we have just entered the field for Spiritual Awakening, Spiritual Enlightenment, for the end of this prison of duality.
