Hey, guys! Welcome to another meeting here on our channel.
The subject with you is about the illusion of the psychological time – I talk about this time that thought creates and produces within you.
Thought produces an unreal form of time. The notion that you have as a person is a notion based on this unreal time, the time of existing as a separate identity, here, in this present moment. There is no identity present here right now, only that thought has built this idea, has given you this idea.
So, thought built a notion of time for you and puts you here, in this present moment, as “someone,” “someone” who has a story in the past, has a story being lived now, here, in the present, and has a story that will be built in the future. The notion of present, past and future is a construction of thought. The only present Truth is this present moment. In this present moment, there is no entity here.
So, here, we touch upon a subject of non-duality, of non-separation. Only one Reality is present – that is what is stated within Vedanta.
In Advaita Vedanta, the approach you have is the approach of nonduality.
There is no sense of a present identity here, in this moment, to live life, to experience life.
The notion you have about life, based on what thought says, is completely illusory, completely false.
The approach of Vedanta... you know,Vedanta is the vision of Wisdom described by Sages in India. The last part of the Vedas dealing with Vedanta and, within Vedanta, we have an approach of Advaita, Advaita Vedanta.
So, the ultimate teaching of Truth, about You, about who You are, is this Vision, the Vision of Truth that there is only one Presence, there is only one Consciousness here, in this instant, in this moment. The sense of a present identity is not real. The sense of “someone” present in this experience does not exist.
I want to invite you to step in this Consciousness, this Truth of your own Being, which is Oneness, which is non-dual. So, when we are talking about Spiritual Enlightenment, Spiritual Awakening, we are dealing with this Natural State of Being, which is Consciousness, without any separation between this Consciousness and God, between this Consciousness and Life.
The important point is that until this is resolved, until it is clear there that there is no separation...I say “clear” not intellectually, not through a speech or words.
You can tirelessly read this and continue still within this confused perspective of separation between you and Life. You need experience it. Therefore, while this direct experience, this non-dual State of Being is not clear, as described by Ramana Maharshi... Ramana Maharshi was one of the greatest exponents of Jnana vision, of the vision of Knowledge – I refer to the Ultimate Knowledge, the Knowledge of Truth about You, about the world, about God.
Within the vision of Ramana Maharshi, within the vision of Sages, the Reality of your Being is Being-Consciousness-Happiness. This, therefore, is the Nature of the Truth you are.
So, in these meetings, we are working on that: the end of this notion of time created by thought, produced by thought, placing you as a separate identity with a story. Yes, the body has a story, the mind has a story, but both the body and the mind are within the context of apparition, which comes and goes, which appears and disappears.
However, You in your Being, as Pure non-dual Consciousness, without any separation from all this existence, and also beyond all this manifestation, as Pure Being, as Pure Consciousness, are not something that appears and disappears.
So, the end of this complexity created by thought – I am referring to this psychological time -, the end to psychological time is the entry into this new Dimension, into that profound Dimension, into that true Dimension, which is Consciousness. This is where the Truth of your Being resides. At the end of all this disorder, at the end of all this complexity produced by thought, at the end of this illusion of the sense of separation, of the egoic sense, we are facing That which is the Truth.
So, our work here is to have a look at This, a look at the Truth that we are.
As long as this false identity is held, cultivating any form of belief, ideas; while this supposed identity is moving within this model, which is the model of the egoic mind, this mental model, within these patterns, concepts, ideas, beliefs, opinions, judgments... here we also have the self-image, the image idealized by thought about who you are, about who the other is, about what is life. All this needs to disappear!
And it is possible to do this work when you are aware of this movement, this mistaken movement of ego, of this “me,” this mistaken movement of thought, sustaining, holding these beliefs, these judgments, these images – this means discarding ‘me,” the ‘I.”
Human beings cultivate this continuity. Since we are together here, on this channel, and the purpose of this channel is to show you that it is possible the Awakening of your Being, this Divine Truth, it is necessary that you are willing to abdicate, to let go of these patterns of egoic mind, and therefore, of this foundation of psychological time, which is this mental model made up by thoughts.
Thoughts need to be comprehended and, here, when I use the expression “comprehended,” it is not “understood.” It is needed that you comprehend what is thought.
The comprehension of thought gives you the comprehension of all thoughts.
Thought is basically time, because thought is basically memory, thought is basically story. Thought idealized all this story, built all this story about who you believe to be. This is not who You are. So, comprehension of thought is the end of thought.
So, what constitutes real spiritual work, a real work on yourself? This constitutes the art of self-observation of the movement of thought itself when it arises, building on you and sustaining all these patterns there. This is what maintains the sense of duality; this is what maintains the sense of separateness; that's what maintains suffering. Observing the mind, observing yourself in your relationships with the world, with others, with yourself, with life, and realizing that thought is building something, in an imaginative way, about your Divine Nature, about your own Being; that thought is building an image...
The speed of these thoughts slows down, since this observation must be made without judgment, without comparison, without this mere passive acceptance, as if whatever was arising, this thought that was arising, was telling the Truth.
If you just watch, see it, something entirely new starts happening inside you. So, there is a break of identification with this movement, because it starts to be seen, it starts to be seen, and when it starts to be seen, this habitual, patterned tendency of thought, to chatter all the time inside you, telling you things you're always believing, about yourself, about the world, about others, it loses its speed and loses its power to fascinate you again, and again, and again, as it has done.
What I am describing to you here is the art of True Meditation. You just have to observe the movement of the mind, whether you are walking, talking to someone, driving your car, going somewhere, or just being quiet at home, sitting, in the midst of any other external activity. This inner work needs to happen.
This is your contact with the Truth of your own Being. So, the Truth of Self-knowledge is revealed here, because the sense of separateness, the sense of "I," begins to be seen, and then it loses value, it loses importance, because now you are ahead of the real spiritual practice, which is the True Meditation.
So, when we approach this important question of Enlightenment, we need to approach it not in a theoretical way, but in a practical way.
So, the practical experience of Self-knowledge, we can call here Yoga, Jnana Yoga.
So, you are before an entirely different approach. I am saying that you are in this spiritual practice by Jnana Yoga. The word Jnana means "Knowledge." Knowledge of the Truth about Self is Jnana.
When you are willing to work on yourself, a change takes place in that body and in that mind, and, according to Ramana Maharshi, this change happens naturally, spontaneously, through the direct practice of True Meditation.
I call this the True Practical Meditation – this is the practice of Jnana Yoga. Then, there is a change in that body and that mind.
For Ramana, this is enough, this self-inquiry, this way of approaching oneself through this functional, real practice of Meditation, for Kundalini Awakening to happen.
The mechanism capable of creating this change in this structure, in this body and mind, so that this Divine State, this Real State, this State of Being, of Pure Consciousness, so that this State is stabilized there in this mechanism, in this organism... a work - which is the work of the Kundalini – it begins to happen in that body and in that mind.
So, we have in an evidential way, in an experiential way, the beauty of the Perception of non-duality, of the non-separation between you and Life, between you and God, between you and the world, between you and the other.
Therefore, this is our invitation here, in these meetings: a direct work in yourself. And this work must happen here and now, not in a space reserved for it. Every place is the place where that Consciousness is present, because You are that Consciousness, but you do not have that awareness about the Self, as you are confusing yourself with what You are not.
This whole structure of psychological time is supporting the illusion of this false “I,” this conflicting mind. The human being lives within this condition. The mind is in conflict, and it is natural that when we talk about conflict, we have to accept the truth, the fact, that when there is conflict, there is no Love, there is no Peace, there is no Happiness, there is no Truth. And the psychological state of human beings, trapped in this time created by thought, which is the psychological time, it is an internal state of confusion, of disorder, of unhappiness.
The Beauty of this meeting is that I can tell you that Real Liberation comes from within, Real Liberation comes from within, your Real Cure comes from within. And here I am referring to all of these psychological problems which a human being carries. Your purely mental state of consciousness is, in fact, unconsciousness. In this unconsciousness, what predominates in human beings is insanity, given all forms of expressions of violence.
This is present because there is suffering.
Because of this suffering, human beings are aggressive and violent. There are several forms of expression of suffering due to the presence of this psychological time, this unconscious condition to live, to be in life.
Patterns like anxiety, depression, hurt, guilt, resentment, pain of rejection, of loneliness, all the different forms of violence against yourself, against the other, it is possible to put an end to this with the Awakening of your Divine Nature, of your Essential Nature, with Awakening of this Power that You carry within You, which is the Power of Consciousness, what Ramana calls Kundalini.
Kundalini, according to him, and Consciousness and Jnana are basically the same thing...
Ramana Maharshi says: “They are different words to point to the same thing.” And he goes on to say more: “And here the word ‘God’ is included.” Why? Because there is only One Reality with different names. This One Reality is non-dual, it is the same Presence, the same Power. To assume This, here now, is to go beyond the illusion of the sense of separation. This is the Power of Consciousness, this is the Power of Liberation, this is the Power of the True Cure that comes from within, that is born of your own Being, that is born of this Consciousness.
So, we are here putting into words That which is beyond all words; we are putting to you the possibility to go beyond all conflicts, all pain, all suffering, by Realizing your Divine Nature, your Real Nature, your Essential Nature.
We are working this out with those who approach. We have these meetings here on our channel, we have online meetings… We also have a link in the description.
