Hello guys! Welcome to another meeting here on our channel.
I want to talk to you about the psychology and spirituality. In fact, I want to tell you that it is neither psychology nor spirituality that is the subject of spiritual awakening, although the psychology and spirituality try to approach this. In an indirect way, this happens.
When we talk to you about the Self-Knowledge, and here Self-Knowledge, as it reveals itself within this channel, as it is shown within this channel, is the Flourishing of your Being, not dealing with knowing the “person” or personality, the sense of “person.”
And since the Self-knowledge is not about what is called spiritual by spirituality, in the sense of ceremonies, rituals, esoteric practices, I would say that Self-knowledge, here, is not a matter for the spirituality or psychology.
Self-knowledge is your business, it's our business, it's the business of each of us. This change is necessary in us.
It is necessary for you to recognize yourself as Consciousness, as Presence, as Being, as this Divine Reality, which is the Reality of God.
So, it is not a matter for spirituality or for psychology, the issue of Awakening of your Being, of the Flourishing of Consciousness, and here I am referring to a direct work, in practice and learning. It is necessary to Learn about it. We need this fundamental shift, this profound psychological shift, yes. We need a change even on a physical level for that foundation to be laid, for that foundation to be laid, the foundation for the Realization of God, of the Truth of your Being.
This requires Learning, this requires discipline, and here I refer to Learning and discipline not in the sense of learning from someone or having the discipline received by someone. I mean Learning with yourself, Learning from yourself. This Learning from yourself is to unlearn this whole process of knowledge acquired over all these years based on what thinking says about who you are.
Note that thought is the one, in you, that sustains knowledge, and all this knowledge that you have about yourself, all of it based on thought, has its structure only in images, in memories, in pictures, linked to the story of this character.
With this character, you identify; what you believe to be you. And that's what thought does: it gives you a confirmation of that kind of knowledge.
And here, when I refer to Learning about yourself, I am talking about something completely different from acquiring knowledge about yourself on the basis of an experience of remembrance, of memory. This Learning about yourself is the discarding of the illusion of belief about who you believe you are. So, it is a new Learning, it is a Learning that is completely different from this process of accumulating knowledge, of acquiring information.
Therefore, Self-knowledge, here, is the Recognition of your Being by this new Learning. That's why it's not a psychology issue and it's not a spirituality issue; it's your business.
Through self-observation you perceive the movement of the thought; by self-observation you can discard this illusory sense of duality that you are the one who is thinking.
There's you and the thought, then there's the thinker and the thought. You are the one who is feeling, so there is the feeling and there is you; you are the one who is sad, so there is the experience of sadness and you; you are the one who is offended, the offense as the object and this "me," this "I," as the subject.
This experience of this "me," this separate "I," this movement of psychological duality, this is discarded by Learning the Truth about yourself... this attention to yourself, this attention to this movement of the mind, this attention to this movement of thought, this attention on this movement of experience, which is always creating this illusion of placing an experiencer in the experience; in thought, putting a thinker; in the feeling, putting someone to feel.
When there's this attention to yourself… that's what I've been calling Real Learning.
We need this Learning about ourselves. This sets the perfect condition for the Self-discovery, for the Self-knowledge.
So, we start here in this Learning, and I want to repeat this: in this Learning through discipline. And here it is this discipline that you give yourself, to have this attention. So, it is necessary, through this discipline of self-observation, of attention to oneself, this discipline of Learning about oneself, here and now, moment by moment... With this, we have Self-knowledge and, in the Self-knowledge, the Meditation Art reveals itself. Without that, there is no True Meditation; without it, there is no real condition for the State of Consciousness, of Presence, of Being, to find, in this body and in that mind, a condition to Settle, to Flourish, to Awaken. But, when there is this Learning about yourself, when there is this discipline of looking at what is happening here and now, in that moment, it is possible to perceive that this duality has no Truth, when this observation is made without choice. A thought arises, you watch; a feeling arises, you watch; an emotion, a sensation… you just observe.
You don't get confused by giving identity to this appearance, you don't put, within this experience, "someone" separating himself to criticize, condemn, reject, do something with what appears. Just watch this, just notice this. This is Learning about yourself, this is the discipline required.
What I have to say to you now is important. Hearing this is theoretical, applying it in practice is only possible when there is Love… when there is Love for Freedom. You may find this interesting or even difficult at first to understand without some practice. Or, if you've experienced it at some point, you find it interesting, but you don't have the discipline necessary for this Learning. And why? Because it is important that there be Freedom, Love for that Freedom.
In general, human beings do not Love Freedom. They talk about political freedom, about economic freedom, about social freedom, but never psychological freedom. They don’t feel the importance, the value of this psychological freedom, of no longer being hurt, sorrowed, offended, of no longer living in sadness, in guilt, in fear, in suffering. They don’t realize the importance, the beauty of it, and when that's not there, there's no discipline to Learn from yourself.
Here, our meeting is for that purpose. This Self-discovery is the Realization of the Truth about who You are, through this self-observation.
This is Learning about yourself, within this discipline, when there is this Love for Freedom. If it's not burning inside of you, just stay here, looking at it, listening to it. The moment will come when it will burn within you, then this Love of Freedom will arise, and then this discipline, without any effort, is born naturally, and with it, this Learning about yourself arises. This gives also rise to the True Meditation – I mean Meditation for this Spiritual Awakening.
Here on the channel, we have a playlist about it. We're always talking about it, new videos are always being added on this topic, it's so important.
Another playlist related to this subject is “Kundalini Awakening,” because it is the mechanism that makes the change in this body and mind so that this State that I have been calling the Natural State, which some call Spiritual Enlightenment, settles down.
So, this is our subject here on the channel, also in online, face-to-face meetings, including retreats.
If this is interesting to you, if this makes any sense to you, leave your “like,” subscribe to the channel and let's work on it together. OK?
