The Real Kundalini Awakening is the Awakening of Consciousness | Self-awareness | The egocentrism

Hello guys! Welcome to another meeting here on our channel. Before we get into this issue of Kundalini Awakening, which is the subject we are dealing with today – I mean the Real Kundalini Awakening – before that, we have to make something clear to ourselves.

First, we need to understand how we have been functioning, how the mind works, how this movement of the mind is present in each of us.

After all who are we? Who are you? What is this "I?" When we refer to ourselves as “I” – “I didn’t go yesterday,” “Today I will go,” “I am just like that” – when we use the expression “I,” when we use this pronoun, we are referring to what, exactly?

The “I” is a set of memories, of remembrances. What you have about yourself is an idea: the idea of being, of being somebody. A person is that person because of a name, a story, a biography. When you refer to yourself, you use the pronoun “I” linked to this idea of a present identity.

This identity is nothing more than a set of remembrances, a set of memories, a set of recollections. So, you have a name and you have a story.

When we refer here to the importance of Kundalini Awakening, we are referring to the importance of the Awakening of Consciousness.

Consciousness is something different from this “I” you believe you are, this “person” you believe you are, it is something completely different from this set of remembrances, memories, recollections, images that this “person” you believe you are has.

So, what is Kundalini? Kundalini is this Presence, this Being, this Consciousness. Kundalini represents your True Divine Nature. It is this Power that you carry in this body, which, upon Awakening, completely discards the illusion of ego identity.

The human being lives in an egocentric way, the human being is egocentric, he lives within a model, within a pattern of egocentrism. This is based on the illusion of this identity called “me.” This “I” is a fraud, this “I” is an illusion, this “I” is not real.

The Realization of the Truth about who you are is the Awakening of this Presence, this Consciousness. Another word for this Consciousness is Kundalini. So, when we refer to the Awakening of this Divine Power within us, of this Divine Shakti – this is an Indian expression for that Power – we are referring to the Awakening of this Consciousness, which is Kundalini.

Now, there's something important here, for you to understand what we're going to put here, right now. As you are confusing yourself with the image that you have of yourself, with the memory that you carry of yourself, with this set of remembrances, this Energy, which is Consciousness, is externalized, turned to the element of memory, to the element of thought, which is basically time.

We have been talking to you here, on the channel, and also in face-to-face meetings and online meetings… We have these three formats of meetings here, within this work: this meeting – these videos, we have online meetings and we have face-to-face meetings. And what we have been dealing with here is that you are Consciousness.

Your Nature is not the egoic nature. Your life should not be centered on this sense of separateness, and yet that is what we have – the sense of an ego identity present within this experience of living. This is something that has become common, it is not something natural.

The access to yourself through Self-awareness places you in direct contact with this egocentrism, with this model of egoic identity, of identity separate from the Whole, from Life, from Existence, and this contact completely transforms this condition, because it makes that Energy, which before was being wasted for that egoic mind, for that egoic life, now available for the Awakening of this Presence, which is the Presence of your Being, which is the Presence of Kundalini.

So, the Real Kundalini Awakening is the Awakening of this Consciousness, which is your Real Nature, which is your Divine Nature… it is the end of egocentrism, it is the end of the sense of separateness, that sense of duality so common within this model of the egoic mind.

And what is this egoic mind? It's the programmed mind, it's the organized mind, it's the conditioned mind, it's the mind within the old pattern of thinking common to all.

In that feeling of being “somebody,” there is this psychological conditioning of being a person who, internally, is always seeing himself as an entity separate from life, and that is the cause of fear, it is the cause of psychological disorder, psychological suffering, of envy, of avidity, of jealousy, of everything that represents this movement in which the ego, this “me,” this “I” is always wanting the world to revolve around itself so that it feels full, complete, happy, fulfilled.

That is the model of egocentrism, that is the model of ego identity, and as long as it remains, that Energy is always in that disposition of contradiction, conflict, suffering and fear.

So, there is this sense of dissatisfaction, which tries to fulfill itself in desires, in external achievements, in this ancient and old model. When this is present, there is no Self-realization, there is no Realization of your own Self, there is no Kundalini Awakening, there is no Awakening of Consciousness. Here, we are talking to you about the possibility of this Self-realization, which is to assume the Truth about who you are, which is Consciousness.

So, Kundalini is the Energy available for this work in that body, in that mind. So, there's a shift in that body and that mind, and here the mind includes feelings, emotions, thoughts, the brain... This Energy, at the moment, is being wasted for this psychological time, which is this model of thinking turned to the external world, to external accomplishments and to various forms of escape from the conflict, the suffering, the pain that this represents.

So, that Energy, once turned outwards… The condition is the condition common to all, the condition of that ego identity – there is no Awakening, there is no Realization of Truth, there is no Self-realization. But when a work begins – and this work is to become aware of who you are, what is shown here and now, in what “I am,” in what “I represent”…

If I represent envy at that moment, this is verified; jealousy, this is realized; some form of psychological suffering, this is realized. And if there is Self-awareness, there will be no escape from these inner states, from these states of perception of what I am here and now. This contact with it is Self-awareness.

When there is no escape, there is a direct perception of this movement. The direct perception of this movement is the Realization of the Truth of what, here, this sense of “I” represents. And this is done by this direct perception, what I have called self-observation. And when there is this self-observation, that Energy is no longer being dissipated, because the separation between this "me" and this experience is eliminated, between this “I” and this experience.

Let's make this clear. When there is envy, what we have is envy; there is no envious “I.” When there is jealousy, it is only the presence of jealousy; there is no “one” jealous. When there is anger, it is only anger, not “someone” angry. When there is desire, likewise. When there is some kind of fear, of dread, the same thing. When there is a thought, there is no thinker, it is just the thought, and if it is seen in this way… Try it, to look directly at the experience here and now of this “me,” this “I,” and you will realize what this represents – it's just a memory, an image, a story built by thought, feeling, emotion; there is no identity in this.

If it is seen in this way, there is no dissipation of that Energy, then that Energy becomes available for the Awakening of Consciousness. This is Meditation – looking without choice, without judgment, without condemnation, without criticism, without rejection, without trying to escape from what is shown here now. So, this Self-awareness is simultaneously the contact with self-observation, which is Meditation.

So, there is now an Energy available, which is the Energy of Consciousness itself, which is the Energy of Kundalini. So, it does work in that body, in that mechanism, because now what is present is Meditation. Meditation is being aware of yourself here and now, of any thought, any feeling, emotion, sensation, perception without separating yourself as an observer of that experience, without separating yourself as being a sensor of this experience, someone who judges, being a judge for this experience, someone who is also defending this experience, being a lawyer, or someone who is condemning this experience or showing the flaws, the defects, the mistakes of that thought, being a prosecutor.

So, when that's broken, there's an entirely new sense of Perception of Reality. That is the end of this ego identity. Then, an entirely new and unknown Silence takes over this body-mind right here – this is Meditation!

This is done moment by moment, in your living, in your day by day. You don't sit down for it. You don't look for a special place for it. It is not a meditation practice. In fact, this has served for many as an attempt to escape from inner states of conflict, contradiction, suffering, and when you escape and flee using some expedient, like this so-called meditation practice, which I have called therapeutic meditation, you have wonderful momentary relief, but that doesn't put an end to this inner contradiction, to the egoic sense, to the "I" sense, and if that doesn't end, the suffering doesn't end. It will keep coming back, it will take on new forms and it will rise again and again and again and again.

We are talking to you here, when we are talking about the Kundalini Awakening, which is the Awakening of Consciousness... This is the Real Awakening of Consciousness, Real Kundalini Awakening. In that True Awakening of this Presence, which is Kundalini, there is a definitive end for the sufferer. The end of the sufferer is the end of suffering; the end of the egoic sense is the end of the sufferer, the end of the “I,” the end of the “me,” the end of the ego. This is Self-realization! This is Spiritual Enlightenment!

There is a way for this to establish itself as being real to your life: it is through this Self-awareness. So, this self-observation occurs … in this self-observation without choice, without judgment, without comparison, without the desire to escape, without the desire to flee, what I have called True Meditation takes place. Then, there is Awakening, which is the Awakening of your Real Nature, your Divine Nature.

We have several playlists here on the channel dealing with this subject. Realization of the Truth about who You are is the Real Kundalini Awakening, the Real Awakening of God's Truth in you. OK?

I want to remind you… we have online and face-to-face meetings as well as retreats.

If this makes sense to you, leave your "like," subscribe to the channel and let's work on it together. OK?

Until next time.

What is suffering? | Consciousness is Kundalini | Non-Duality | Psychological time | The Egocentrism

Hello guys! Welcome to another meeting here on our channel.

After all, what is suffering? What is suffering? Why do we suffer? I am referring to this psychological suffering, this internal suffering, the suffering of the "I," of this "me," of this "person." What is this suffering? This suffering is basically thought… thought-feeling.

Where do these thoughts-feelings come from?

From the past. At this instant, you can only suffer – I mean that moment, that present moment… you can only suffer because of memory, because of remembrances. It is always memory, even if it is the memory of the projection of the future. Yes, the memory of the projection of the future!

All you have regarding the future is concerned is a projection, a memory projection. Based on the known, you project the unknown. The future is the unknown element, but it is something that can be imagined, and the material that can create this imagination of the future is memory, thought.

So, basically, psychological suffering, this internal, present suffering, is present because of this unconsciousness about this movement, which is the movement of thought.

Why is the issue of the Awakening of Consciousness important here? Why is the question of Kundalini Awakening important here? It's important to say that too. The word Kundalini has fascinated many, but people believe that Kundalini is something very strange to what Kundalini actually is.

Kundalini is simply Consciousness. If there is Presence, if there is Consciousness, what is present as Consciousness is Kundalini.

The Energy of that Consciousness, the Energy of that Presence is the Energy of Kundalini. In the body, once it is settled in the body, functioning correctly, there is no longer this psychological condition of suffering, this chaotic psychological condition of the ego, of this "me," of this "I." So, there is no longer this movement of prison to this psychological time, which is memory, a memory that creates the past, which is not here, and the memory that creates the future, which is also not here.

You identify with that memory, with that remembrance, with that thought-feeling, and you suffer. Something that you lived in the past was actually just an experience of the body and mind. The body and the mind are not who you are, but at this moment you are still confused with the body and the mind, seeing yourself as an identity in the body and mind, seeing yourself as this "I," seeing yourself as a person.

The Reality of your Being is Consciousness, it is that Consciousness that is always present, now, the same Consciousness present there in the past, present here and now, in the present moment, and present, too, in the future, but it is always Consciousness now, it is always in the now that this Consciousness is. And that Consciousness is not touched by the body and the mind. So, it is free from thought-feeling, and yet you are confused with body and mind.

To be confused with that means that this Consciousness is not Awakened yet, this Kundalini is not Awakened yet, because Kundalini is Consciousness – that Energy of Intelligence, that Energy of the Perception of Reality of Life as It is, free from that chaotic condition, which is the psychological condition of the ego. The Reality of your Being is this Consciousness, it is this Kundalini, it is this Presence.

So, when we refer here to Kundalini and the True Kundalini Awakening, we are referring to the Real Awakening of this Presence, this Consciousness, and that is the end of psychological time, it is the end of memory. In this sense of the ego, in this sense of the "I," the condition of the mind is the condition of mental consciousness. This mental consciousness is what has already been recognized in psychology as conscious and unconscious. In general, we separate conscious from unconscious.

In fact, that which is superficial, of which we are most aware, is what we might call conscious, that which is more superficial, these everyday memories.

But there is like a storehouse of memory, of remembrances. This storehouse is called the unconscious – it is these remembrances, these memories, these recollections saved deeply. But it's all part of that mental consciousness, that same egoic consciousness, which is basically psychological conditioning.

This mental consciousness is what I have called here and now, in this speech, the thought-feeling. This thought-feeling is what comes back here, to this present moment, and you are confused again and again with the illusion of being the body and being the mind, of being someone, of being a person, of being an entity separate from Life, separate from the Whole, of being an ego, an egoic identity living in a model of egocentrism, living in this egocentric model of a separate identity, seeking some form of fulfillment and satisfaction in objects, in people, in places, in sensations, in states.

To be identifying with this is to be confusing yourself with what is not you and therefore sustaining this chaotic state of conflict and psychological suffering.

The work of Self-realization is the Realization of the Truth of this Being, which is Consciousness. Self-observation makes this Energy available to you, which is the Energy of Kundalini, it is the Energy that is in that very body, capable of making a change in that mechanism, in that body-mind, so that this very Consciousness, so that this very Presence settles down, and that will be the end for the ego, for that ego identity. Do you understand that?

The end for the ego is the beginning of something entirely new, unknown, which is this Divine Presence, which is this Consciousness, which is this Vision of Reality, free from psychological time; therefore, free from this thought-feeling. It is when you establish yourself in the now, in your own Being, which is Consciousness.

Thought, then, can take on a new format in this body-mind. It is now an objective, impersonal thought, connected to practical matters of life; it no longer carries that sense of "I." What makes you feel hurt, offended, annoyed with people, sad with them, or afraid of them, or angry with them, is always this sense of this thought-feeling, this background of psychological condition. This is the pattern of the ego in its conditioning – living trapped in an image that cannot be hurt, cannot be wounded, cannot be offended, loaded with fear and desires.

Our work together is to realize this, the Truth about who we are, here and now, and open ourselves to this possibility which is the Kundalini Awakening, which is the Awakening of this Consciousness, which is the Awakening of this Divine Energy, to assume this body and mind.

So, we have something entirely new, a new mind, what someone has called “no mind” – in Buddhism it is like that, it is called “no mind.” It is a new mind, an entirely new mind, a mind free of the sense of the egoic mind, free from this notion of past, present and future for the "I."

Our job here is to establish ourselves in That which we are. Therefore, the end to that sense of separateness, to the end of dvaita is fundamental. The word dvaita means duality. There in the Vedas, the expression is Advaita Vedanta, it is non-duality. That is the goal: non-duality. Advaita means non-duality.

The human beings live in duality. They live in dvaita, they live in that duality, in that sense of an "I," an "I" that thinks, an "I" that feels, an "I" that needs, an "I" that desires, an "I" that fears, an "I" that loves, an "I" that hates… All this is completely false.

When there is Love, there is no "I" to love; when there is Joy, there is no "I" to rejoice; when there is Freedom, there is no "I" to be free; when there is thought, there is no "I" to think; when there is the feeling, there is no "I" feeling. This is all part of Life, it is part of this great non-dual Divine Game, where Existence does not hold this illusion. This illusion is what in India they call Samsara, the illusion of Samsara, that which appears and also disappears. In that sense, it is part of this Consciousness, of this Existence, because everything that comes and goes is still part of That. In that sense, yes… in that sense, this whole appearance of the illusion of duality is still an appearance in this Presence, in this Consciousness.

But here I want to invite you to recognize the game, to understand the real place it has, if it has any place, if it really has any place.

In your life, at this moment, this invitation is being given by this Presence, by this Intelligence, by this Grace, for the Recognition of your Essential Nature, of your Divine Nature, of your True Identity. This happens due to the Flourishing of Kundalini, the Kundalini Awakening.

Then the body and the mind undergoes a change, a transformation. This is called Spiritual Enlightenment, Spiritual Awakening or Self-realization… There are several names for this State of Consciousness, of Presence. Meditation is part of this process to establish this here and now as your Natural State – I mean True Meditation, because the contact with Meditation shows you that this sense of duality is not real; it's just Life happening, not you as an entity in it. See that?

It is not "I sad," "I happy," "I unhappy," "I have problems,” “I"... There is no such "I"! The illusion of this "I" sustains the sadness, the problem, the fear, suffering, the chaotic state of thinking and feeling, the chaotic state of emotion, feeling and thinking. And the key to all this lies in what Ramana called Atma Vichara - this is the key to True meditation and to the Awakening of your Being, to your Divine Awakening, to the Recognition of the Truth about who you are.

So, this is our work together: to look at what we are, look at this thought, this emotion, this feeling, this sensation, whatever is showing itself now, there, in life, in this “your life,” without posing as the one who will do, perform or get rid of.

So, the Art of Meditation, the Awakening of Meditation, puts you in this condition, in this new position of Life Perception, Reality Perception.

If this is something that makes sense to you, leave your “like,” subscribe to the channel… Reminding you: we have online meetings, also face-to-face meetings and retreats.

We have the link in the video… sign up for our WhatsApp group and we can work on this together! OK? Until the next meeting.

The Self-Realization and the stoicism | End of conditioning | Truth of Self-awareness | Jnana Yoga

Hello guys! Welcome to another meeting here on our channel. Stoicism and Self-Realization… What is the difference between them?

Some people have this doubt, this question. The Stoicism… basically, what does it say? It says, “It’s not what happens to you that causes your unhappiness, it's not what happens to you that makes you unhappy, but rather the way you react to it."

According to stoicism, it is the quality of your thinking… this quality of your thoughts will determine your life in this contact with unhappiness. So, according to stoicism, the quality of your thoughts determines whether or not you are happy in your life.

Then, what’s the difference of this approach to what we are sharing with you, we are addressing here with you, attending here with you?

Here we deal with Self-Realization. What’s the basic difference between the Self-Realization and the stoicism?

The fact is that stoicism, as a philosophy, deals with exercise, it deals with practice, it deals with thinking, it deals with knowledge, it deals, basically, with a way of thinking and acting, or reacting, to life. Learning to deal with life, changing the quality of your thoughts, having a new psychological approach to others, to the world, to situations, and to circumstances around you – this is basically stoicism.

Whereas in Self-Realization… here we are telling you something different. We are telling you that there is no sense of “someone” present to deal with life, to discipline yourself, to order yourself, to adjust, to understand what happens, and react to life based on thought. Self-Realization is the end of the known, and therefore it is the end of conditioned thought.

Human beings are looking for Love, Peace, and Happiness… So, they are looking for that in philosophy, psychology, and religion. They are looking for what they call Truth. And here we are telling you that this search or this quest is something that takes place in this contact with the Truth of your own Being. Your search for the Truth is to be happy, for Happiness.

The fact is that this Happiness is something inherent in your own Being; it is something innate, even here right now, to what you are. Then, it’s not about a teaching to give you this, an apprenticeship to give you this, specific knowledge to give you this, an exercise, a practice, a discipline… Self-Realization is the contact with your Being. And this is an approach to the Unknown, and you can’t approach what is unknown with this apparatus of the known.

Thought, knowledge, and experience are all part of the known. Every form of discipline is part of the known. Here, the approach to Truth and Happiness is through Self-Awareness. So, Self-Awareness is an approach to yourself… not through learning, in the sense of accumulating knowledge based on thought, experiencing an experience, or exercising a discipline. This learning here is a learning in the sense of self-observation and discovering, here and now, what prevents you from being what you are.

What keeps you from being what you are, is this background of psychological conditioning. Even thought, knowledge and all experience are part of this background, they are part of this knowledge. Therefore, our work together is to move closer to the Realization of the Truth that we are here and now.

So, this learning is an unlearning – unlearning this “me,” this “mine,” this sense of “someone” present to discuss with life, separating oneself to try to adjust life to a model, which is this model of the known, this model of thought, experience, memory, knowledge. Thus, Self-Realization is come closer to Truth, the real approach to the Truth. It is Self-Awareness that brings you closer to the Truth. Only Self-Awareness is this approach.

So, getting closer to the Truth is through Self-Awareness, since Self-Awareness will discard this illusion of the sense of separateness, it will discard the illusion of the sense of ego identity. Then, within this clear vision, which is this acknowledgment that there is no “someone” present in this experience… with this, there is an end to suffering, there is the Acknowledgement of your Being.

For the Indian Sage, for the Realized Being – whether in the East or West – for the one who has realized his Essential Nature, Consciousness is Bliss and Bliss is Being.

Therefore, the closest to getting to the Truth is through Self-Awareness, and not through learning within this culture of books, teachings, lectures, and studies. All of this is still part of a discipline, a technique, a practice of the intellect, an ability of the intellect to understand and, later, to comprehend that, to act from that knowledge.

Here, it’s not a matter of knowledge; here it’s a matter of acknowledgment. We could call that Knowledge, indeed, but that is what in India is known as Jnana. It’s not the knowledge you learn from books, from others, from someone. It is the Knowledge you find present in your Being. It’s not knowledge you learn from the outside, but Knowledge you find present inside, that emerges, that awakens.

In India, this is called Jnana, and accessing that Knowledge is called Jnana Yoga… the practice of accessing that Knowledge. This requires discernment; it requires a true approach to yourself, for a break to occur. Only this approach to the Truth, to be closer to the Truth through Self-Awareness, can give you that. It is the Realization of your Essential Nature, which is non-dual. It is not your Essential Nature and Existence and Life and experience in this present moment; it is your Essential Nature being One with all that is here and now.

In general, thought within you… what it has done, within this psychological conditioning… and it is exactly this psychological conditioning that ends when the Awakening of your Divine Nature, which is Self-Realization, happens. Then, the sense of duality, the sense of separateness, ends.

So, it's not about how to react to life, it's not about the quality of thinking to deal with the experience called life, as happens in stoicism, as is the proposal in stoicism.

Here, the fact is that there is no thinker separate from thought, no experiencer separate from experience; there is no “I” present to live life, to react to life this or that way, to have thoughts; there’s no thinker to have thoughts of such a quality that they would not come into conflict with life, for him to be happy. This is not real.

So, the closest to the Truth, which is Self-Awareness, can reveal this. This closest to the Truth… because I’d say that this is the most practical thing we have for the practice of Jnana Yoga. Thus, Self-Awareness is the closest thing to the Truth there is to realize this.

So, this encounter with Happiness – I mean the Happiness of being Consciousness, of being Presence, and here I mean the Truth of the Unknown, of That which has no name, which is beyond the body and the mind, which is the Truth of God. This Truth of God, this Consciousness, this Reality, is the Unknown and is your Being. This is Happiness.

So, notice, there’s nothing outside. Reality lies in this Consciousness. There’s no “inside and outside.” The Acknowledgement of what you are in your Being – this is Self-Realization. Thus, the difference between stoicism and Self-Realization is that, in this Self-Realization, the Acknowledgement of the Truth is that there’s no such sense of “I” – there’s the Realization of what you are in your Being.

The human being has sought through psychology, philosophy, and organized religion, to have this encounter with the Truth, with the Truth of him or herself. He or she is looking for it. However, the encounter with this Truth, which is the Truth of God, the Truth of Consciousness, the encounter with this is the encounter with What has no name, no form. This encounter is nothing but the Realization of what is already present as Consciousness.

The beauty of this approach to what we have as the closest to the Truth, which is Self-Awareness, is that this Self-Awareness opens the door to the investigation of the Truth of this “me.” And when you approach, you don't find any "me." All you find is the experience.

We are dealing with emotions, feelings, thoughts, sensations, and perceptions in life in a completely wrong way. We believe that these perceptions, these thoughts, these feelings, and these emotions are happening to “me,” to “I,” to this “me”, to this “I” you believe you to be.

So, the expression we generally use is “I'm thinking about it,” “I'm feeling this,” “I'm afraid,” “I'm scared.” These expressions are within this mistaken, illusory principle of duality.

When there is this model of thought within you, there is the idea of controlling thought, of trying to get rid of the feeling, of the emotion, of the fear, so there is this idea of “someone” present in that experience. This is completely false! There is no such duality and only Self-Awareness can reveal this to you, through this self-observation.

We need a new way of approaching ourselves. We have to eliminate this separation between thought and thinker, between feeling and this “I” that feels, between this emotion and this “I” that feels, between this fear and this “I.”

Fear is always something related to something outside. Even if it is a thought, it’s still something outside, when there is the illusion of an “I,” an “I” thinking, an “I” imagining.

For an emotion, there is the idea of an “I” feeling. We have to eliminate this sense of separateness because it is this sense of separateness that perpetuates and continues this sense of suffering, this illusion of duality. This psychological duality, this state of psychological duality, is something connected to this movement of the egoic consciousness, the egoic mind, and all this psychological conditioning. Approaching this is being able to end this.

Let me talk about Meditation here with you. We have a playlist here on the channel dealing with this subject. Meditation is this way of getting closer to yourself and observing, but observing in the sense of eliminating this separation.

When a thought arises, you just look and observe, without any intention of doing anything. It's a thought of pain, a thought of sadness, a thought that brings an image of frustration, of fear; it's a thought... To look at it without the idea of someone to condemn it, reject it, to want to get rid of it…

When you just observe, you become aware of that thought. This requires what I’ve called self-awareness. You have to be aware of yourself, conscious of yourself.

In general, human beings don’t live like this. They live immersed in this condition of identification with thought. In other words, they are always separating themselves from thought, as if they were the thinker thinking it; separating from the feeling, as if there were someone feeling it; of the emotion, as if there were someone in that emotion, feeling that emotion. A remembrance is "someone" remembering - this is not real! And that has been the condition of the human being, and now I am inviting you to just observe what arises, without mistaking yourself for it, without getting entangled with it, bringing self-awareness to this moment, to this present moment.

Ramana called this self-observation or Atma Vichara. This is the way to get closer to what we have closest to the Truth, which is Self-Awareness. This has just opened you to the possibility of Meditation. When that happens, an entirely new space opens up within you, of Silence, of Stillness… there is an internal state of Presence, of Consciousness. Since there is no longer that separation and you are paying attention to yourself now, at this moment, without putting yourself as the one who judges, compares, rejects, and wants to get rid of it. You are just aware of it. It requires that sensitivity; it requires that intelligence to not escape from it, to not run away from it.

At best people facing this psychological pain, these internal conflicts that arise, can only run away. They are going to listen to music, they are going to… in addition to listening to music, they are going to eat, they are going to have sex, they are going to practice meditation therapeutically, like self-hypnosis, to be able to deal better with this, with this emotional pain, with this psychological pain, with this anxiety, with this internal despair, with this depression.

Here, when I refer to Meditation on this channel, I’m referring to this True Meditation, this direct contact with what you are here and now. And when thought is present, you are thought; when sadness is present, you are sadness; when anger is present, notice, there is only anger! That’s always like this! But you don't learn to deal with it. When the anger subsides or has a small space, a thought says “I have to do something,” “I can’t keep feeling this,” “I have to get rid of this anger,” “I have to control myself,” “I have to…” “this way, I’ll have this or that loss,” “I have to change this,” “I’ll end up doing something crazy…” So, it’s a thought that arises, but in the moment of anger, there’s only anger, you are angry. You are fear in the moment of fear; you are thought... There is only that! And when this stays and is acknowledged, there is a breaking of this separation between you and thought, between you and anger, you and fear… there is a break since there is the end to that duality. And, in this attention, a new energy arises and that state vanishes, that thought disappears, that feeling disappears, that emotion disappears, that sense of "I," along with that emotion - because this "I" is that – disappears, the illusion of this angry “me,” this fearful “me” …

So, this is a way of approaching Meditation. Then, a Silence, a Space, something extraordinary opens, beyond this psychological time, beyond this egoic condition. Then, this is Self-Realization. It's not dealing with life, it's Being One with Life. As there is no conflict, as there is no separation, there is no suffering, so you are Love, Peace, Happiness, Consciousness, you are One with everything! This is the difference between stoicism and Self-Realization – the Realization of the Truth you are here and now.

If this is something that makes sense to you, leave your "like," and subscribe to the channel... Reminding you: we have face-to-face meetings, online meetings, and also, retreats.

If this makes sense, we can work this out together, Ok? See you next meeting.

Real Kundalini Awakening. Self-inquiry and Atma Vichara. The psychological condition of conditioning

Hey guys! The question is: who are you?

Welcome to another meeting here on our channel. Let´s work on this together!

I will repeat the question: who are you? Well, I want to reveal something to you about that. I want to reveal to you that you are Consciousness. This Consciousness is your True Identity, but you are unaware of it. It's not enough for you to listen and believe and also keep on repeating “I've already learned that I am Consciousness. I've read it somewhere, I've heard it in a speech, I've heard it in a video.”

I want to invite you to recognize the Truth of what is here and now. It is the recognition of what is, that opens the door to the Revelation of evident, evidential Truth. So, it's not a theory, it's an realization.

Is this significant? Yeah! Is this important? Very! And why? Because that is the definitive end for unhappiness, for every form of internal contradiction, for all dissatisfaction, for all frustration, for all fear, for all suffering.

The Recognition of Truth about who you are... the Revelation of this brings you what the Sages, in India, call “Kundalini Awakening.” You bring this Divine Potential in yourself, this Divine Presence, this Divine Reality. This is Consciousness, this is your Being.

However, you are living within these parameters of the egoic mind, within this dimension of conditioned consciousness, of programmed, shaped, conditioned mind.

To live within this programming is to be unaware of your True Nature, to your True Identity.

When you start to turn to self-inquiry – and self-inquiry, here, is what Ramana had as a proposal for Awakening, so that this condition of sleep, of unconsciousness, disappears; of unconsciousness about who you are, unconsciousness about the Reality of your Being...

Ramana prescribed self-inquiry, what he called Atma Vichara. The question “who am I?” … that is the answer to who you are. Nobody can give you that answer, you can verify it for yourself, and you need to verify it for yourself.

This occurs when this programming, the psychological condition of mental, egoic conditioning, vanishes, disappears. So, self-inquiry is this approach – “who am I?”

You are not the body, you are not the mind… these thoughts, feelings, these emotions attached to this body, to this mind, this is not the Reality of who you are. You are always in the past or you are always in the future. There is always something incomplete in the past, and the proof that this is incomplete is that memory still keeps coming back here, at this instant, asking for an end to this continuity; that memory keeps coming back…

So, you, in the past, are always incomplete, unresolved, unfinished.

The past does not die, it is always present here with you. And you are always in the future. You are never in this Freedom of being what you are here and now. Here and now, you are Consciousness. Consciousness is your Real State of Being, where there is no separation, where there is no duality between you and what is present now.

There is not you and something present here separate from your Essential Nature, but you are not aware of it, because you always see yourself in the mind, as an entity in separateness, in duality. Let me give you an example of this: when a thought arises, it is a thought, and you see yourself as an entity separate from the thought. The illusion is that you are producing that thought, thinking that thought, and so that you could do whatever you want with it, which in fact is not true.

When the thought arises, it is not invited by you, it just appears. Also, you cannot get rid of it because you want to get rid of it. So, it is very clear that this is not your production nor is it your volition. It is not under your will to get rid of thought when it arises. It's it coming up, it's not you producing it, but there's the illusion that you're thinking. This goes for a feeling too – the illusion is that you are feeling. The fact is that feeling arose, just as thought arose. It wasn't completed, it wasn't finished. This always comes from the past, it's always coming from memory to this body-mind. It is always this illusion of this “I” placing itself in the past, or here and now, or in the future – here is the illusion of the sense of the ego, of the ego identity.

This ego identity carries its egocentrism, its mode of operation, its way of dealing with life. So, human being is egocentric, he lives in this illusion of the sense of a present “I,” separating himself from the experience and trying to adjust it, correct it, set it right, mold it, get rid of it or hold on to it too. The fact is that experience – be it a thought, a feeling, an emotion or a visual, sensory perception – is something that happens here and now, without an identity present. But there is this illusion of “someone” present to whom these things are happening, or for whom these things are happening. This is completely false! There is no such thing as “for whom” or “for whom” – “to whom” things happen or “for whom” things happen –, things just happen! It's Life as It Is! But there is the sense of separateness, the sense of ego-identity, the sense of "I." Is that clear?

Understand this! This is essential for ending the ego illusion and for God´s Realization! Some call this God’s Realization as Self-realization, Spiritual Enlightenment or Spiritual Awakening. This process takes place because of something fundamental that we want to address here with you in the next few minutes, that we are going to have together here. This is called “Kundalini Awakening.” Kundalini is that Divine Power which is Awakening, which eliminates the illusion of time… When Kundalini Awakens – I mean the Real Kundalini Awakening… Nowadays, people talk a lot about Kundalini, and people say “look, my Kundalini awakened,” or “when my Kundalini awakened” ... and there are so many stories about this so-called Kundalini that has awakened or when awakened.

Here, I refer to the Real Awakening of this Consciousness, which the Sages also call Kundalini. That is the end of that sense of separation between you and Life – when there is the Real Kundalini Awakening. Divine Intelligence has taken over the body and mind. This is Spiritual Enlightenment, this is the end of the sense of the ego, of this “me,” of this “I.” So, it is not a mystical, esoteric experience… seeing lights, having sensations, having some perceptions, some contacts with other worlds or a heat that has arisen. What can be reported as an experience is still part of time.

We are talking about something that puts an end to the experiencer and his experience; we are talking about the Kundalini Awakening, which is the end of the experiencer with his experience. Life is what It is, without this “me,” this “I,” without this ego, without this experiencer.

So, Kundalini is not for a person. Kundalini or the Kundalini Awakening is the end of the illusion of that “me,” that “someone;” it is the end of the illusion of this “to whom” this has appeared or this “why” this is happening. This “I” is not present when there is Spiritual Awakening, when there is Kundalini Awakening. Then, that Energy goes up in the body, goes to the brain, goes down and settles in the Heart. I refer to Spiritual Enlightenment, to God´s Realization, to the Awakening of Consciousness. That is the Real Kundalini Awakening, the Real Awakening of your Being, of your Divine Nature, of your Real Nature; it is the end of this psychological conditioning.

The egoic mind has this superficial part, which the human being has access more easily, which are the superficial memories, what you usually have more contact with, but we also have these memories more secret, more hidden, more occult, more reserved.

So, some call these “unconscious” memories, but all this is part of that same egoic mind, whether these memories are closer, of which we are aware… whether consciously or unconsciously, memories are the basis of this “me,” this "I;" whether they are on the surface or in the depth, they are the structure of this ego identity.

And the Kundalini Awakening, the Awakening of that Consciousness, is the end for this memory, for this egoic programming, for this sense of “I” present here and now, in this experience.

So, Life remains as it is, the beauty of Life as It is. The thought that remains is that impersonal, objective, practical thought; it is the remembrance, it is the memory, such as, for example, your home address or some technical, functional, very objective, very impersonal memory, but no longer this self-image, what makes you feel diminished, humiliated, rejected … All this weight of being “someone” within that identity, sustained by this illusory memory, falls, it breaks, it disappears.

So, this is the end, this is the end of the illusion of the sense of the ego, of the “me,” of the “I,” this is the end of the sense of separateness. When there is this Realization, when there is this Recognition of the Reality that you are, which is the Reality of your Being, there is an end to suffering, an end to this illusion, an end to this ego identity – this is the Real Kundalini Awakening.

If this is something that makes sense to you, subscribe to the channel, leave your “like” ...

Reminder: we have face-to-face meetings and also online meetings. OK?

Until the next meeting.

The Energy of Kundalini | Meditation Art | The Contemplative Meditation | Non-Duality

Hello guys! Welcome to another meeting here on our channel.

We want to talk to you about this quest, this search of ours. Actually, every human being is, in a certain way, in search or looking for something. Especially for those who are spiritually inclined. This search is the search for Truth or God.

There is an internal dissatisfaction in human beings and they are looking for something. I’d call this “the search for spirituality.” So, they leave this comfort zone, which is not comfortable at all, which is ordinary life, and they enter this zone of spirituality. They leave this comfort zone for this zone of spirituality; they leave in order to go search for Truth, this search for God.

Now, we need to understand a few things about this. When someone does this, they do it with an idea, already with a concept, or a belief inside their head. What we are looking for, we believe we already know what it is, and we have a suspicion of where it can be found.

So, here, the first thing I want to call your attention to, in this meeting, is this. It is a tremendous mistake; it is a tremendous mistake to start this search for the Truth, this search for God, already with this belief, with this concept.

When we talk to you about the beauty of Meditation, one of the clear things that have to be very evident to you, within you, very clear inside you, is that this approach to Meditation is, yes, this access to this Reality, which some people call God or Truth. But you can’t approach it with an idea, since the True Meditation, Real Meditation… the approach you can take to it is the approach of one who is learning. And, in order to learn, you need the love for Truth, not only a mere desire for Truth.

And love for Truth, which is not a mere desire, is only possible when, from the very beginning, there is this freedom. Human beings don't carry – I've said this countless times here in the meetings... They don't carry this love for Freedom, although they are looking or searching for What they call God or Truth, that’s just a belief inside them. When we are trying to actualize This, to realize This, in a real way, This is something that becomes possible in this learning, in this learning about ourselves.

You discover the Divine Reality within this Meditation Art, that’s why we are facing What I consider the most important thing in this life, which you need to learn, to realize This in this lifetime, discover what this Art represents, Meditation Art. And the approach to Meditation requires this freedom to observe, observe yourself, and learn from yourself.

It's by learning from yourself, it's by looking directly within yourself, at all this internal movement of consciousness, that you have access to the Real Spirituality, you have access to Truth, to God. However, you can’t start from a belief, or an idea, but rather from self-inquiry, self-investigation, and self-observation. And the closest thing you have to observe is your reactions.

This self-observation, this attention given to yourself – I’ve also called this self-awareness… this self-awareness can take you beyond this mental consciousness. This mental consciousness is this condition of ego identity, the illusion of this “I.” The illusion of this “I” creates this sense of separateness between you and Truth, you and God.

The work of approaching through Self-knowledge brings you closer to True Meditation, so there is this attention to yourself. Then, this attention to yourself, this observation of the movement of thought within you, which is the movement of this ego consciousness, this mental consciousness, shows you all this confusion, all this disorder. All these internal states of contradiction are present here in this element “I.” This is a cultural and social heritage, a heritage of this world of the mind, present in each one of us: envy, jealousy, desires, fears, the countless conflicts, fears, craving, the pains linked to this sense of duality, the pains connected with this sense of separation between you and God, you and Truth, you and Life.

This self-observation through Self-awareness begins to show you this disorder, and there is this Perception, this Clarity, this Vision, and in this Vision, this sense of duality is broken, this sense of separateness vanishes, and therefore suffering ends and the beauty of Silence is revealed, the beauty of Meditation in Stillness. This Meditation in Stillness is the State of Pure Consciousness. Some people have called it the Contemplative Meditation – it is the contemplation of the Reality of Truth, the Reality of God, and This is the Unknown.

That’s why we can’t approach this search with an idea, a concept, a belief, with an image. This way, you don’t have this freedom in this love to learn. This love is needed to learn, this discipline for freedom – due to this love to learn from yourself through self-observation.

You need to observe the movement of the mind, to observe all that this “me,” this “I” represents, in order to go beyond that. So, when Meditation in Stillness reveals Itself, this Contemplative Meditation shows Itself, there is no longer the “I” element, the “me” element, “ego,” “person,” since the sense of separateness has vanished.

Non-duality is your Natural State of Pure Consciousness, and this non-duality, which is You in your Being, is the Reality of this Presence, this Unknown, this Unspeakable, this Extraordinary Thing that is beyond time, space, beyond the body, beyond the mind; This that reveals itself to be your Being, you in your Natural State – some people call it Self-realization, Spiritual Enlightenment, Spiritual Awakening. That’s the end of the search since it’s the end of the illusion of this seeker.

Thus, it's important that you, here, approach this by abandoning every belief, every concept, every idea about what you consider to be Truth or God. You abandon all belief, including any belief that you have about this Divine Truth you carry within yourself. Here, it’s important to become aware of This and not have a concept or a belief about This.

Therefore, our meeting, our work, aims to bring this Awakening, the Awakening of this Divine Power, of this Consciousness that is present. This happens because of this approach to Self-awareness. That is why, without Self-awareness, there can’t be a change in this structure, in mental structure. We need a change, a radical psychological transformation, a change in this very structure of the mind, which involves feelings, emotions, and thoughts; it involves the brain itself. This entire physical and psychic structure undergoes a radical change, a process of radical transformation because Kundalini Awakening carries this Power. The Power of Kundalini is that power of change, the breaking of that ego identity, the Truth of your Being revealing itself at this instant, at this present moment.

What is Meditation? It is this approach… an approach free from this illusion of duality. Here, it’s not a question of self-analysis, of self-observation in the sense of someone analyzing what is observed. When you look within yourself and you see all this conflict, all this disorder, all this confusion, all these patterns, fear in its many forms, anguish, sadness, worry – yes, some moments of joy, pleasure, satisfaction, but many other moments of restlessness and emotional disorder – when you look at it, the first impulse is to analyze it, try to understand, try to comprehend it.

I’m not referring to that here. This approach through Meditation is not trying to understand what is happening to you, it’s also not rejecting it, censuring it, trying to get rid of it, trying to control it. When you do that, you have already separated yourself as the analyst; you have already separated yourself as the observer observing something.

This separation is within this illusory principle itself, the principle of duality. It is precisely this movement of separation that upholds the illusion of “me,” the “I,” the ego. This is the ancient and old condition of the ego – this sensor, this observer, this judge, this one who defends, this one who accuses, the prosecutor and the lawyer within, who accepts, rejects, condemns, agrees, disagrees… This is the sensor, the sense of “I.” It is the "I" that is in this ancient and old operation, in this ancient and old model.

Here, this approach to Meditation is to look without this judge, this sensor, this prosecutor, this lawyer, without the one who agrees or disagrees. I invite you to just look, to have this patience, this love. When there is this love, there is this freedom to look without choice. Whatever is coming up, you don't put an identity present. The fact is that we spend many years of our lives trapped in different psychological fears, in these different forms of fear, and we never approach only to look.

All we want, in this identification with the ego, is to get rid of this pain, this suffering, this feeling, this sensation, this emotion. First, we give it a name, and then, we want to control it; we want to get rid of it.

And, here, Meditation is approaching without the observer, without this sensor, this judge, this sense of “I;” it is just looking, just as you look at a bird perched on a tree branch. You just look... You don't want to scare it away, you don't want it to stay there too, you don't have anything against it, you don't have anything for it either. You can't say "I like it" or "I don't like it,” you just look…

This look makes you perceive – when you do it looking at yourself – that this movement is just a reactive movement of memory, it’s something coming from the past, it’s just memories, thoughts, sensations, perceptions, happening here in this body, in this mind. When you can approach like that, with no choice, no rejecting, no approving, but in this look, there is no judgment, no rejection. This is the real way of approaching ourselves through self-observation, which is revealed as Meditation.

When you do that, there is a breakdown of this model. The energy that was wasted before by this duality, by this controller, by this thinker, by this observer, by this sensor trying to do something about himself, disappears. The energy now enters a new dimension in this body, this mind. It becomes available for the Awakening of Consciousness, for Kundalini Awakening. This is True Meditation.

You can do this anywhere, any time of day. And when you learn to do that because there is this love for freedom, when you approach this art of becoming aware of this “me,” this “I,” when you start doing this during the day, it also accompanies you into night, during your sleep, even while dreaming. You are approaching Liberation, Moksha… Liberation, Moksha – that is the Indian expression for this Self-realization, for Spiritual Enlightenment.

So, this is the invitation within these meetings –a work on yourself here and now, for the Awakening of your Divine Nature, your Essential Nature. This is what we are looking for; this is what every human being is looking for. However, some are looking for it on the outside, in material accomplishments, in external achievements, and others are looking for it in spiritual achievements or religious pursuits. What human beings are looking for is Themselves, looking for the innate Happiness of their own Being.

We are working with those who approach. We have online meetings and face-to-face meetings, retreats… And here, in these videos, we're also sharing this with you.

It’s evident that in closer work, in person, some other things are addressed and are put in an evidential, practical way. There is also something present in these meetings that goes beyond what words can say.

This is the subject we deal with here on our channel. If this makes sense to you, leave your “like,” subscribe to the channel, and here is the invitation to online and face-to-face meetings and also retreats. Ok?

See you next meeting.

Self-realization and Self-awareness | Escape and Self-awareness | Jnana Yoga | The existential void

Hello guys! Welcome to another meeting here on our channel.

After all, what is Self-Realization? Self-realization... Some also call it Spiritual Awakening or Spiritual Enlightenment. Self-realization is the Consciousness of Truth of simply Being. Yes, that's right: simply Being This, is one of the most difficult things for a human being. And it is very paradoxical, because you are Being, you cannot be anything else. You cannot be anywhere other than where you are, and yet, paradoxically, you do not assume the Reality of Being what you are; and, paradoxically, you are always somewhere else outside of this place that you are here and now; and yet you are here. You are the Self and you are here. Paradoxically, you don't assume Being and you don't assume the Truth of being here.

Psychologically, you are always somewhere else; psychologically, you are always being something else.

So, Self-realization is simply Being. Be What you are, and that is now. This has proved to be the most difficult thing, because psychologically you are always being guided by thought.

The psychological condition of the mind is this: past and future. Here and now is just, at most, a door where you, as an entity, as a person, as someone, are coming from the past, going through the door of this present, this instant, this moment… you are arriving in the future. This is the absence of your Natural State of Being, this is identifying yourself with what, in fact , you are not.

The whole human problem resides in this, in living guided by this psychological time, in this psychological orientation of time, which is basically thought. Either you are in the past or you are in the future. Life is something that is present here and now. There is no past, there is no future – psychologically speaking, this is not real. We are not denying yesterday or tomorrow. What I am saying to you here is that you were not there yesterday and you will not be there tomorrow, you can only be here and now. It was like this yesterday, today it is like this and tomorrow it will be like this, and yet, human beings live in this condition of psychological time.

The sadness of loneliness is the illusion that something on the outside, a certain condition, a special person, is missing in your life, so there is this pain, the pain of loneliness. It is curious this illusory psychological state created by thought– I am referring to this state of psychological time – because even in the midst of family, surrounded by children, spouse, grandchildren, this pain of loneliness is still present, the existential void of being alone, this pain is present. This loneliness is not being caused by the absence of people around you, but the real cause of this pain of loneliness is the sense of an egoic identity living isolated, based on an imagination of not being loved, not being accepted.

Here, I'm giving an example of this feeling of loneliness, but this feeling of loneliness, you see, is something very close to the feeling of depression. So, we have a lot of labels to stick on different psychological frames of pain of that order – the pain created by thought, supported by this idea of past and future.

So, there is this inner chattering, there is this inner restlessness, there is this internal imagination, there is this fear… This is all the presence of this psychological condition of emotional disorder, of inner disorder. There are a few hundred, thousand labels, names that can be given to internal conditions of unhappiness, these so-called pathologies. And that is the condition of the human being, unless there is the Awakening of one’s Divine Nature, Essential Nature; unless one assumes the Truth that Life is here and now; unless there is a break in this condition of inner disorder – I mean the end for this egoic mind, for this dualistic mind, for this mind that creates this separation between what you are here and now and the idea of what you need to be, become, achieve, attain, accomplish to be happy.

So, Self-Realization is assuming Life here and now without the sense of “I,” of this “I” that, psychologically, needs to be within this orientation of memory, remembrance, recollections.

This is the end of this inner chattering, this monologue, this internal dialogue, this movement of neurosis, of insanity, of anxiety, of loneliness, of anguish, of internal disturbance, complications like depression, insomnia, this sadness, this burden, that regret.

And, to escape all this, the mind has been involved with several things, always looking for on the outside, because of this pain that is present, because there is this duality, this sense of someone unhappy, someone sad, someone anguished, someone unloved, someone rejected, someone forgotten, someone who apparently can have it all and still feels unhappy.

All of this is present, and to alleviate this, the human being has sought certain relief for this pain in drugs, sex, new relationships, various therapy techniques. The so-called meditation practice, which is also popular these days, meditation for de-stressing, meditation for relieving anxiety, meditation for relieving depression, meditation for... these various meditation techniques and practices, it helps, yes, but it is only a temporary relief device, a form of self-hypnosis therapy. This relieves, yes, but it is also still a form of escape.

We haven't learned to get in touch with this pain of being somebody. This is very, very important. We don't realize the importance of looking directly at it, of having self-awareness, in ourselves, here and now, of this pain without rejecting it, without trying to escape it, without trying to run away from it. We need to get closer… it is necessary for you to get closer to what is here and see what thought is producing, what feeling is saying, what emotion is trying to express, what that pain represents, how much investment of that duality is present in that pain.

Let's clear this up for you. When there is sadness, it is surrounded by story, thought, remembrance, memory: “someone made me sad,” “a situation made me sad,” “I was abandoned” ... There are numerous reasons for sadness, for example. And the illusory basic idea is that “I am sad.” “I never approach the state to realize that it is a state” – it is simply a state in the body and mind. “What I do is separate myself by creating the idea, sustaining the old idea of ‘me sad’.” And if there is this duality “I’m sad,” then the thought “I need to do something,” “I have to get rid of it,” “I can’t take it anymore,” “I can’t stand it” arises. So, there is this control, there is this judgment, there is this analysis of the situation, there is this attempt to resolve, because this “I,” which is, in fact, just a fragment of the state itself that has separated itself and wants to control, wants to resolve, wants to get rid of, wants to do something, wants to run away…

Do you understand what we are saying? This is how we work, always in the illusion that there is the experience and “I,” in this case sadness and “I,” “I” and this thought of worry, that to forget, to “get” free, to escape it, “I will” drink, “I will” eat, “I will” practice yoga for that purpose. Yoga doesn't have that purpose, that's not the purpose of yoga, but that word is in vogue, and whatever we're doing in the direction of a meditation practice, we call it yoga. And this meditation here came in for that purpose. The purpose is not to find out who “I” am, it is not to bring about self-awareness, it is not to break the sense of separateness, duality, break the egoic sense, break this illusion of the experiencer, of this experience. That would be the ultimate end for the sadness, for the worry, for the anxiety, for the depression, for the fear, “but I didn't learn anything about it. Since childhood I've been running away, I've been escaping, I've been looking for this or that, for something or another to alleviate it.” And it's true! When you drink, when you smoke, when you use a chemical substance, some drug, or when you meditate, there is relief, but it doesn't solve.

We are here telling you that Self-Realization is the end of the sense of an “I” present in the experience. When you learn from yourself, in this self-observation, within this self-awareness, Self-knowledge happens.

This is the real way to approach Meditation. This Meditation is here and now, in this instant. Whatever is arising – a thought, a feeling, an emotion, a perception, a sensation – all of it is now seen without that sense of duality, because I don't walk away, I don't try to escape it, I don't try to find a cave to hide, a shelter to protect me from this experience. It breaks the sense of ego-identity; this breaks the pattern of psychological conditioning. So, you are in front of this portal to Self-Realization – some call it Spiritual Enlightenment or Spiritual Awakening.

Note that this is possible when there is Self-awareness. So, whatever you are doing, without Self-awareness… and here I have included this so-called yoga, as some call it. Especially in our Western culture, there is this idea of yoga for these goals. No, Yoga… the purpose of Yoga, of Jnana Yoga is, for example, the science of direct Knowledge of the Divine Truth of your Being – that is Jnana Yoga. Here, my recommendation is based on Jnana Yoga. Jnana Yoga points to that Oneness, to that Communion. The word Yoga means “to unite,” it is to return again to the Divine. No escaping means represents that. Only in that Self-awareness is this possible, and in order to have Self-awareness, this attention to yourself is necessary, this self-inquiry is necessary, this investigation of the Truth about who You are here and now is necessary, so self-consciousness, self-investigation, self-inquiry, self-observation becomes the basis for Self-awareness and therefore for the revelation of what I have called the True Meditation. And when the True Meditation takes place, That which has no name is revealed, which is beyond time, which is beyond the mind, which is beyond this egoic mind, this condition of psychological conditioning and suffering for this “me,” for this “I.” It's the end of the sense of duality, it's the end of duality, it's non-duality. This is Divine Realization, this is the Realization of God, this is Self-realization.

If this is something that makes sense to you, this is the proposal here on our channel. We are working this out with those who approach. We have online meetings; we have face-to-face meetings and also retreats.

If this makes sense to you, leave your “like,” subscribe to the channel and, if it touches you, let's work on it together. OK?

The Real Flow State. Self-realization. The Illusion of Identity. Self-awareness. The Self-knowledge

Hello guys! Welcome to another meeting here on our channel!

The hardest thing, the most complicated thing, which has proved to be the most frightening – let's use that expression – for the human being, is discovering himself here and now! There is no greater challenge for the human being than this. For us human beings, one of the most complicated things is to assume the Truth of Life here and now. That is being in that Oneness. That Oneness is the Presence of Supreme Intelligence, of Consciousness, something present now, here, in this present moment.

Positive Psychology has called it the Flow State. What is this Flow State, according to Positive Psychology? It is a state in which the mind and body are in agreement, within an action where there is no conflict between thought and action. So, there is a high-performance present because of this so-called Flow State.

Positive Psychology has tried to study this question of happiness. Here, I want to say something to you: there is nothing new in anything that psychological science can discover. Whatever one might discover in this space, in this field, is still something Sages have known or recognized for millennia.

The Truth of your Being is Happiness, the Truth of your Being is Peace. These meetings of ours emphasize*the importance of this Self-discovery, which is nothing but this Self-realization, the Realization of your Being, the Realization of your Natural State. This Natural State is this State of Flowing with Life as it is. This State of Flowing is this so-called Flow State. Flowing with Life… this represents being here and now, without this movement of psychological time.

In general, you are not here, you are in the idea.

The human being always lives in the idea, he is always in thought: it is the thought of the future, what he needs to do... He, here and now ... a thought arises and says what he needs to do, so there is the idea of "someone” present having to do something. So, there is the idea of the future and the idea of the past, what had been done and what needs to be done.

Life is here and now and everything is happening always here and now, but always this idea that something is missing, something needs to be done, or something that has been done, is always coming back here. So, there is always this movement of psychological time – the past is present and the future is present. And this “now” is your moment of Oneness, of full Consciousness of Being. This is kind of absent. So, the most difficult thing for a human being, the most frightening, scariest, challenging, and yet the most stupendous, the most wonderful thing, the indescribable Reality of Love, of Peace, of Happiness reveals itself when the sense of this "me," this "I," which is basically this psychological time, this fixation on the future or this fixation on the past, this illusory idea that this present moment is a bridge that connects the past to the future and the illusion of this separate identity is on top of that bridge, coming from the past and going to the future…

So, there is no such Truth of being Consciousness. Being Consciousness is That which is recognized as Self-realization. Therefore, Self-realization is to remain here and now, in your pure Being, in your pure Consciousness, free from psychological time, from the illusion of a present identity, present in Life, present in Existence, present in experience, as well as present in thought.

What we have here and now is Life. If a thought arises, it can be observed, like anything else appearing in this instant, in this present moment. Realizing this, becoming aware, aware of this… this Self-awareness reveals to you that there is only this present moment.

So, if a thought appears, it is a thought now, appearing here. This picture of the past is just an imagination here and now; this picture of the future is just an idea, a wish, an imagination of something to be done, of someone to do – this is something presenting itself here and now.

It is always this illusion of the sense of “someone” imprisoned by this psychological time, the basis of suffering in your life, in your existence.

Here, we are working with you on the importance of this self-observation, this Self-awareness… to be aware of yourself, and to go beyond this condition of psychological time, of the idea to a present entity, a supposed entity at this moment. This is the end of the sense of "I," of the sense of separateness between you and Life.

So, there is this flow, the body and the mind are in that flow, at this present moment.

So, something can reveal itself when that ancient and old condition ends. All this is part of the known, part of the illusion of an experiencer with his experience, of a thinker with his thought, of someone in action and that action happening. All that we have as reality is this Flow State, which is You in your Being, as pure Consciousness.

This body and mind here and now, and this whole psychological condition that I've called mental consciousness, I've called egoic mind, dualistic mind, separatist mind… And why dualistic mind? And why separatist mind?

Because there is an illusory identity present in this dualistic mind condition; there is an identity that is this "I." Then it says "I," which is just thought saying.

Thought separates itself, creates this illusion of the thinker within thought. In fact, it is thought separating itself as a fragment in this thought experience. It separates itself and says "I."

So, this "I," this "me," is the one that, in you, is supposed to be thinking, supposed to be feeling, supposed to be acting, supposed to be talking, to be listening. There is no such identity present in this experience here and now – in speaking, in listening, in feeling, in living...

So, this is not something that Positive Psychology discovered about happiness, about the possibility of a state of happiness, which, by the way, according to Positive Psychology, is a state that comes, but it soon disappears for this ancient and old state of mental consciousness to arise again.

The State of pure Consciousness, of pure Being, is not like that; it is your Natural Flow State – I have called it the Real Flow State – your flowing with Life without the ego, without the "me," without the sense of the "I." There is something extraordinary there.

People have asked me, “What is this Freedom you speak of? How to feel this Love you speak of?”

This is present now, only now, when that sense of separateness, created by this illusion, by this ancient and old mental state, which is pure psychological conditioning, when that disappears. Then, this Self-realization is revealed.

Self-realization is the Realization of God, the Realization of Love, Peace, Freedom, Happiness. When we speak of Peace, we are not speaking of the “peace” that comes and goes, in this ordinary state of mental consciousness. Human beings experience moments of “peace,” which, in fact, are moments of armistice, of truce between two conflicts, between two battles… so he has a few moments of armistice, a few moments of what he calls “peace.”

It is not that “peace” … it is not the peace that is opposed or contrary to battle, conflict, fight, war. We are talking about the Peace that does not carry duality, the Peace that transcends the illusion between peace and conflict, between peace and battle. This is the Peace of your Being, it is the Peace of God.

When we speak of Love here, we are speaking of Love that does not carry the weight of jealousy, the weight of seeking fulfillment in satisfaction, in pleasure; we are talking about Love that does not carry duality. It is not love opposite to hate, it is Love that has no opposite, it is Love that has no “someone” in the experience of love, it is Real Love, True Divine Love, which is Consciousness.

When we refer to Happiness, we are not talking about satisfaction, fulfillment, comfort, pleasure, which is accomplished in objects, in sensations, in contact with places, with people, with objects. There is a fulfillment, but this is not Real Happiness. Happiness transcends psychological time, transcends the egoic mind, transcends the sense of body and mind; therefore, it transcends the mental state itself and the state of the body itself.

Real happiness is present even when the body is sick or is being left, in death – there it is Happiness, that Completeness of Being, of being disidentified from body and mind.

So, the Flow State, the State of Flowing, the State of Life, the State of Consciousness is this State of Presence, of Love, Peace, Happiness, Freedom… your Natural State. That's what we're talking about here with you within this channel and also in these face-to-face meetings, including retreats, and online meetings that we have as well.

The Awakening of your Divine Nature, this Self-realization, some call it Spiritual Awakening or Spiritual Enlightenment, is your Natural State of Being. Body and mind now have gone through a process. It is no longer the ancient, old and known a Flow State, the one that comes and goes, it is the Flow State, it is the Natural State of Flow, it is the Real Flow State, and that does not disappear, because the body and the mind underwent a process of change, of psycho-physical transformation. Physically, psychologically, the body has undergone a change due to the Awakening of a Power that it carries inside itself, which is the Power of Kundalini.

So this Flow State is something that transcends this “come and go.” Your body has undergone a change, a transformation, due to Kundalini Awakening. This is how this Energy that creates this change is recognized, that creates this transformation in this body, in this mind, so that this Self-realization is present.

And all this begins because of this Self-awareness. It is necessary to have this Self-awareness. This Self-awareness comes together with the work of Self-knowledge. This reveals the True Meditation.

All these subjects, we have been dealing with here on our channel. We have several playlists dealing with exactly all of these subjects and showing the connection between them, how it becomes possible to realize this in this life, in this moment. Here, on our channel, we have a few hundred videos already dealing with this, the beauty of Self-Realization and everything you need to know about it.

This knowing will give you an approach of this learning about yourself, and that's all you need; it is the knowledge that will enable you to learn about yourself. It is not theoretical, verbal, intellectual knowledge that will give you this, but it is a direct, experiential experience, learning from yourself, through self-observation, in this Self-awareness, in the Self-knowledge, in the True Practical Meditation. So, it is possible to Awaken this Divine Power, this Realization, which is You in this Oneness with Life.

So, the challenge is to have this encounter with yourself and go beyond this condition of the egoic mind, the one that has been sustaining, throughout all these years, all the states and internal conditions of contradiction, conflict, suffering. There are thousands of pathologies of unhappiness of the mind, of these mental states, and all this is broken, is broken up, is undone in the Awakening of Consciousness or in this Self-realization.

This is the subject here on our channel. If this makes sense to you, we have our whats app of meetings here in the description. We have online and face-to-face meetings. If this makes sense, leave your "like," subscribe to the channel and let's work on it together.

OK?

Thanks for the meeting, until next time!

Hello guys! Welcome to another meeting here on our channel.

The question is: how to reconcile worldly life and the Realization of God? It seems to me that, in this question, the intention here is to find out how to bring these two things together. The point is that it seems we don’t understand what worldly life or the Realization of God is. That's why we have this question.

First, let's understand one thing: there’s no separation between Life and God, between Life, God, and You. There’s no separation! This separation is ideological, conceptual; it is just a belief, and we try to unit these things. That's the thought: to reconcile the world and God, you and God, you, God and the world.

The question is: what is life? The question is: what is God? The question is: who are you? Well, I say: if you solve that third question, you have the solution to the other two – if you solve the question “who are you?” By asking yourself the question “who am I?”, you’ll understand that there is no separation between God and You, and what you call the world is an appearance within this one Consciousness, which is God, which is You. So, there’s nothing to reconcile.

Here, the most important thing for you, right now, is to learn about yourself. Learning is something extraordinary, learning is something wonderful. The way we understand this issue of learning is by using the comparison of this learning we have received in this ancient and old format since childhood. How do we learn a profession? We have to study, we have to practice and we have to get experience.

So, we acquire the knowledge, the practice, the experience, and thus, we become a professional in that area. This is the way of learning that we know, this is the way we learn things, since childhood we’ve learned this way – we acquire the knowledge, the practice, and the experience.

Practical experience and knowledge make you someone who knows something, who knows something; this is the usual way of learning. Here, I want to invite you to a new way of learning. First, to learn not about what is outside. It’s not about “someone” learning something, but this “I,” this “me,” this “you” learning about yourself.

Here, you need a new way of learning. The first way of learning is by accumulation: knowledge, practice, and experience. This second way of learning is through observation. To learn about yourself requires attention that puts you in a position where there is a new moment being seen every moment, each moment; and in this seeing, in this learning, there is no accumulation of knowledge, practice, or experience. It is a learning in which unlearning happens; it's not about accumulating, it's about abandoning; it is not learning more, it is having the revelation of something outside this “you” that you already know, that you already have; it is to go beyond this experience of being “someone,” to the new, the unique, the indescribable State of pure Being.

To learn that requires Self-knowledge, so we need this knowledge about ourselves.

The interesting thing about the Self-knowledge. Since it is not something - and here I refer to this Self-knowledge… Since it is not something an expert is giving you the hint on how to do it – you are not learning from a psychologist, from an analyst, from someone who understands the “person” – you are learning from yourself.

It’s not learning as a psychologist teaches, as the analyst teaches, as psychology books teach; it’s learning by self-observation. This learning requires a look at yourself here and now, at this moment, and an entirely new look, because it is a look free from the illusion that there is “someone” looking at this, that an observer is looking at something, observing something, seeing something – when you do that, you fall into the old condition of accumulating knowledge, accumulating information.

Then, it's not knowing yourself in the sense of psychology, but rather in the sense of the Perception of Consciousness, here and now. In this sense, this “knowing yourself” is Meditation, the Perception of Reality. Meditation is the Vision of Yourself, without that sense of an “I” learning something, knowing something, discovering something… Meditation removes illusion, removes the veil of duality.

Which duality is this? It is the duality between the observer and the observed thing, between the learning and the apprentice, between the one who learns something and something being learned by that someone – this is the real approach to the Self-knowledge. So, here we have the true presence of the True Meditation.

Therefore, learning about yourself is discovering that there is no such thing as this “me,” this “I.” It puts you in touch with something that transcends the egoic mind, transcends this bulk, this weight, all this content, which is the content of the mind, of the mental consciousness. When looking at yourself, there is an emptying of this content; that's what I call the True Self-knowledge, the real learning about ourselves.

Notice that this is the beginning, the principle, the fundamental basis of the art of being Consciousness, Pure Consciousness, without that sense of “I,” without that sense of ego, of that “me” – that is Meditation. Let's make it easy and put it in a very simple way. The idea you have about yourself is a learned thing. This is the result of knowledge, practice, and experience. The sense of “I” is present. It is this sense of the “I” that is offended by people, hurt by people, saddened by people, angry with people, and also claims to love people, to like people; it is this sense of “I” that has friends, that has enemies… This is nothing more than a learned thing.

The sense of “I,” that sense of the ego, is something that has arisen over time. I am referring to this psychological time created by thought itself. So, this “I,” this “me,” this “person,” this egoic mind – I’ve called it mental consciousness – this is a result of time, of psychological time. A set of memories, remembrances, and images have formed this “I,” and it is this “I” that is trying to find such thing “reconciling between worldly life and the Realization of God.” It is exactly the absence of that “I,” the disappearance of that “I”… This is the disappearance of this duality, this sense of separateness between you and life, between you and God.

Therefore, our work here is to Realize the Truth that there is only God, there is only this Consciousness, only this Presence… and this Presence takes a form that is this apparent world, and this Presence is that Consciousness, which is the substratum of all this perception, of all this vision, all this experiencing of Life, an experience without the experiencer, a look without the observer, Life as It is, Life as It shows itself, without the sense of an ego identity - this is Spiritual Enlightenment, the Real Realization of God; and this doesn’t exclude life of relationships with the world, with people, with objects; the relationship with places, with things; the relationship with feeling, with emotion, with thought.

Here, what disappears is the illusion of the ego, of “me,” of the “I.” Life as it is, is Love, Beauty, Happiness, it is Peace. Contradiction, conflict, and suffering, this is present in this sense of separateness, in this sense of duality.

So, the art of learning about yourself lies in going beyond this “yourself;” the art of learning about yourself lies in the beauty of understanding that this “yourself” is not real – this “me,” this “I”… Thought formulated this and made you believe that there is “someone,” while only thought is present. What I am saying is that thought is present and presents itself as a result of this memory, these stored experiences, accumulated in the brain, and thought says that there is an identity present producing these thoughts. This is the thought itself telling you! Thought says "I." It's trying to pass as you and it's been doing it for a long time; this is what I’ve called being identified with thought. We are identified with thought, so what thought says, we believe we are saying it; what thought presents, we believe we are presenting.

The model of an identity psychologically imagined by thought is the one that feels, thinks, does, likes, the one who doesn't like, the one who has opinions, judgments, conclusions, evaluations... We believe that’s us, and indeed it is this background, this conditioning, this mistaken identification with thought that is creating this sensation, the sensation of "someone" in action, "someone" in choice. The extreme gravity of this is the presence of psychological suffering present in each of us.

Fear has its many and varied forms, fears are diverse. The “person,” the “I,” “me” is afraid – the husband is afraid of the wife, the wife is afraid of the husband, and in turn, the father is afraid of the children, and the children are afraid of the parents. Fear makes us say things, tell things and act by hiding, disguising, using the subterfuge of lies, all because of the presence of fear.

Thus, there are those fears and there are other forms of fears. The human being lives in fear; they live in this tension, in this stress. They are afraid of the past – something they have done can be discovered, then, they try to hide it from others, because there is fear. They carry the fear of being caught, of being discovered, of being unmasked. They are afraid of the past – human beings – are afraid of the future. Fear has many expressions. The sense of pain present, for example, in anxiety, anxiety frames. Some are lighter and some are much heavier, hard, sharp, and painful, because of fear. The nature of the egoic mind is fear. This is the sense of being “somebody” in this experience.

So, because of all this desperation, this deep psychological conditioning, this life tied to these stakes – the stakes of fears – all tied to a central stake which is the stake of fear… Psychologically, we are in this condition. This is suffering; this is something of extreme gravity when this sense of “me” is present.

So, you approach this work and you also try an ideological way, also imaginary, also thought-based, to achieve this nameless, formless, indescribable, extraordinary, great, and intensely beautiful thing called God, and you believe you can achieve that by reconciling mundane life with it. And for you, mundane life is life, the life of relationship with the world around you.

See, understand this… There is no such thing because there is no such separation. The only problem lies in this background of psychological conditioning. It is not in Life as It is, it is not in the world as it is, but rather in this sense of a present “me,” of an ego identity present in this experience.

So, through the Self-knowledge, through this direct vision, this look at yourself without mistaking yourself for the illusion of “someone” present. When a thought arises, it can be observed; when a feeling arises, it can be observed; when a sensation arises, it can be observed. And observe without judging, without comparing, without rejecting, without trying to get rid of whatever is coming up here and now. This is the way we approach the real learning about ourselves, it reveals Self-knowledge, it reveals that there is no “I,” and “me,” no identity present in this experience. Then, what is here vanishes.

We never come into direct contact with fear, because there is always the idea of “someone” to control it, to do something against it, to get rid of it, to try to delete or forget it; and the greater the effort in this direction, the more the egoic sense establishes itself, upholding this fear. So, human beings live their whole life in fear, anxiety, depression, and sadness, with this pain of loneliness.

They can’t sleep properly at night, because they suffer from insomnia, they have several frames of psychological pain, unhappiness; and to escape this, they turn to drinking, sex, drugs, to therapeutic meditation practices, which temporarily works as a self-hypnosis since they can temporarily relax, they can induce a psychological state of calm, more tranquility.

However, this silencing of thought, based on a technique, on practice, doesn’t solve this. This psychological turmoil needs to end and only the True Meditation can do that.

This contact with yourself, which is the True Meditation, is the most extraordinary thing we have in this life, in this existence; it is the art of being Consciousness, which is Meditation. When this happens, the Awakening of Consciousness, the Spiritual Enlightenment, flourishes. Then, a change takes place in the body itself. This energy that was wasted before in this ego condition, in this “I” condition, in this “me,” which was wasted before in this conflict, in the conflict of fear, desires, choices, imaginations, chaotic thoughts, of all this inner chatter; this energy that was wasted there before, it turns inward and a change takes place in that body-mind.

Then, the Realization of the Truth about who You are flourishes with the awakening of an entirely new energy within your body. When it awakens – in Yoga this is known as Kundalini… when it awakes, there is a change, a physical and psychic transformation in the organism itself, something entirely new has emerged – some people call it Spiritual Enlightenment or Spiritual Awakening.

That's what we're talking about here on our channel, also in face-to-face and online meetings, and we're going to work on it together. Oh, and subscribe to the channel if you haven't done so.
