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.
