Hey, guys! Welcome to another meeting here on our channel. We are going to talk about this question of thought. You must have already perceived in yourself the affliction that thought is. There comes a moment in your life when you start to realize that you have absolutely no control over what happens, externally and also – mostly – internally.
This is when you find yourself in a condition where you begin to suspect that there is something wrong with this psychological model of existence that you carry. That is, you begin to suspect that this chaotic condition of accelerated thought movement, running inside you in an uncontrolled, restless way, cannot be natural, there is something wrong here.
See, our job here in these meetings is to work on this, the end to this psychological condition of inner restlessness, a restlessness produced by thought, engendered, constructed, sustained by all this psychological disorder in which we are living.
We don't know who we are and our first contact with life, in the experiences of living, is the contact through a vision that thought builds. So, the way we deal with what's going on around us – it's been that way since we were very young – it's always been through thought.
See how thought has a great, great importance inside you. However, thought is this condition that we have just put here to you. It is this condition of contradiction, of conflict, of disorder. Thought is disorder. I mean, psychologically speaking, we live in complete disorder, which is also reflected in our external life, and we never stop to ask who is this one that thinks, what is this thought, how this issue of thought in "me," inside of me" works out.
I have something to tell you in these next few minutes that will completely change your view of who you are, who you are. You, for example, see yourself as the one producing these thoughts. You see yourself as a thinker. The sensation you have is that you are the one who is building this thought, because these thoughts seem to you to be very private and that you are the builder of them. This is not true.
Thought is a phenomenon that appears in this mechanism, in this body-mind; it is an appearance within that Consciousness, but it is not something that you produce. Notice that every thought that arises is a memory, an unsolicited remembrance. You are here and a thought arises. You don't invite thought. You don't produce thought. You don't seek thought. It appears.
Thought is like rain. There is a moment when the thought appears and then it disappears. The same happens with the rain. The rain comes, then it goes; the sky remains clear... The wind blows, the clouds come and the rain falls.
That Consciousness, which is You in your Being, is something that remains like the sky: always clear. Thoughts come and go... What I have to reveal to you in the next few minutes is very, very important! You don't know how to deal with thoughts because you believe that you have to deal with them.
When I talk about Self-realization, or Enlightenment, or the Realization of the Truth that You are, I am talking about the Awakening of a Power within you capable of bringing order to this psychological chaos, to this condition of complete unconsciousness, mechanicalness and restlessness… all produced by thought.
The Awakening of your Divine Nature... some call This "Kundalini Awakening." This is the Consciousness Awakening, the Awakening of the Truth about You. This puts this organism, this mechanism, this body-mind in a condition where thought comes into order.
So, all this uncontrollable internal chatter, all this monologue or dialogue that thought holds, deals with, that is present inside you, something completely out of your control, it disappears when you realize your Divine State, your Real State, which I have called the Natural State, others call the state of Spiritual Enlightenment or 'Kundalini Awakening."
Kundalini Awakening is this psychophysical condition that makes this possible. This whole chaotic state created by thought... this is present because of the lack of a work that you need to do on yourself, and that is something that needs to be done today; in fact, now!
You need to become aware of the movement of thought. When you become aware, aware of the movement of thought, you are open for the process of Liberation of this Presence, this Power, this Divine Energy that you carry within yourself, to emerge.
Direct attention to the movement of thought shows you that this movement has nothing to do with you. Yes, that's right! The thoughts that pass within you are productions of this Existence and appearances in that Existence.
This sense of someone present, which you call "I," has nothing to do with that. But when there is an identification of that "I" that you believe to be with that movement, then that entanglement we call ego identity. So, the revelation here is this one for you. This idea of being somebody sustains the chaotic, restless, uncontrolled, chatty, accelerated movement of thought.
Your work here, and this is what I propose within these meetings, is to disidentify from this condition, the chaotic psychological condition. I call this "the end of psychological time," the end of the illusion of an identity in this psychological experience, in this psychological chaos, in this inner chatter, in this endless blah blah blah of thoughts.
People lie down to sleep and they can't, because they say "look, I just went to sleep very late at night," "I could only sleep, fall asleep, fall asleep, at dawn, because the mind wouldn't stop."
All of you who are here with me know what I'm talking about. Those who may be listening to me right now know what I'm saying. I'm talking about this restlessness, this internal chatter, this blah-blah-blah. I talk about recurring, incessant, chaotic thoughts, bad thoughts, negative thoughts, thoughts that are mere memories of failure, defeat, or the possibility of failing, not succeeding, not achieving...
This whole process of thought movement is fear. Fear is based on thought. So, all this restlessness is held by this ego identity, by this sense of someone who believes is present in this experience.
Here, the secret is in discovering the Truth of who You are, and here I am referring to that "Sky," which I spoke of just now, which is Consciousness, which is Presence, which is Being. That Divine Truth is not in this condition of ego identity or identification with this chaotic model of thought.
So, when that Energy, which is Kundalini, awakens, arises, there comes a break of that inclination, that habit, that vice, the vice of thinking, the vice of this inner chatter. In India they call this vasanas. The end for this ego identity is the end of these vasanas, of these latent tendencies there in this mechanism, in this organism, to value, to cultivate, to remain trapped in this addiction, in this chaotic state of suffering that thought produces.
Realize how important this is. The Self-enquiry, self-observation, looking at yourself, at the entire movement of thought arising and disidentifying yourself from it, discovering this art, the art of disconnecting from thought and resting in your Being, in your Divine Nature. That is the art of Meditation, of direct approach to your Divine Truth.
The clear Understanding of this, is what I have called Self-knowledge. So, self-observation is this self-enquiry. It gives you the basis of Self-knowledge that brings you closer to what I have called the True Meditation. This causes this Energy called Kundalini to awaken, arise, and bring about a change in this mechanism, in this organism, in this body-mind, thus bringing about the Realization of the Truth that You are.
So, the Realization of the Truth about Yourself, this Realization of the Truth about your Divine Nature, about your Essential Nature... In India, That is called Samadhi – you in your Self, you in your True Nature – and when That is present, which is Consciousness, which is the True Awakening of Kundalini... See, this is the True Awakening of Kundalini, because when the Kundalini awakens, the suffering ends; because the illusion of the egoic sense disappears, the sense of separateness is gone. Then the end of suffering has really happened. I have called It "the True Awakening of Kundalini," "the True Awakening of your Self," "the Real the Consciousness Awakening."
Then there is no longer separation between you and Life, between you and Love, between you and God, between you and the other... a State of Bliss, of Happiness, of Liberation. That is the real end of suffering, and it is the Realization of True Happiness.
So, if this is something important, if this is relevant to you, leave your "like," subscribe to the channel and let's work on this together. This is possible, this is possible...
