Hello guys! Welcome to another meeting here on our channel.
I want to invite you to get into some issues together. I'm not here to give you ideas or new ideas. I am here with you, investigating with you exactly the importance of going beyond ideas. Therefore, it is not a matter of a new belief here.
Our work here together is to get closer to a Perception of Reality, from a clear vision of what happens within ourselves, and this is possible when there is this learning, learning about ourselves – that is the intention of this meeting. Here, you need to learn about yourself. So, our words here, these words that are being placed here, are not in the sense of teaching you anything. All you need is not to be taught; all you need is to learn to learn.
So, if there's a teaching here, it's a teaching on how to learn to learn about yourself. This learning about yourself is the Self-knowledge. You discover, you perceive, you see for yourself, by yourself, what is present in this moment, here inside, inside you – that is Self-knowledge. Without that, whatever you are doing towards a transformation, towards a change, is useless.
We do need a change; we do need a radical transformation, because we need to know Life as it is. Life as It is does not hold this illusion of being "somebody" within It. This illusion of being "somebody" in Life is the illusion of mistaken identification, it is the illusion of error, it is the illusion of deception, it is the illusion that sustains every form of lie in your life.
Internal dependence – I mean that psychological dependence on people, on situations – is a lie! I'm not saying it's a lie in the sense of not being there. Yes, this is present. In that sense, this is very real.
We cannot deny the presence of envy, jealousy, possession, fear; we cannot deny the presence of all this in our life. But the presence of all this still constitutes a lie, in the sense that your True Nature, your Being, is Love, Happiness, Peace, Freedom.
To live within this dimension, this ancient and old ego structure, this illusory identity, is to live within this illusory lie – that has been the pattern. Here, I want to tell you that it is possible to come into direct contact with this lie, although it presents itself as a fact in our daily lives: we are possessive, envious, jealous, miser, ambitious...
The presence of unhappiness with all this suffering that is present… To be identifying with this experience means to be separating from what appears, from what arises; it's confusing yourself with it, making it a reality for your life. Your Life, which is your Being, transcends this condition of ego identity. This ego identity is an illusion. But despite being an illusion, made up with all these aspects of suffering, which seem to be very real and being lived as something very real in our life, all this can be discarded by the Recognition of your Divine Identity, of your Transcendental Nature, which is the nature of the Self.
I am not saying that these apparitions, although illusory, although arising and appearing as the “reality” for this sense of separateness, for this egoic sense, they are not there. Yes, they are present! This has been the “reality,” this has been the “truth” of the human being, because this has been his condition of life in the mistake, of life in illusion.
We need to transcend this, we need to transcend this illusion, we need to transcend this condition of a life in the lie, of illusory life, and we can transcend that through the Self-knowledge.
That's why our work together is to learn about what's going on here and now. It is necessary for you to have direct contact with this envy, with this jealousy, with this fear, with this attachment, with these conclusions based on beliefs; it is necessary for you to have direct contact with this background of conditioning, with all that the egoic mind has accumulated over all these years; it is necessary to have a direct contact with this internal condition of psychological insanity.
When you have direct contact with that, you can go beyond that, you can transcend this lie, transcend this illusion, transcend this state of unhappiness, and that is the purpose of our meetings.
So, here, I want to show you that it is possible to learn to unlearn it all. Learning about yourself is unlearning that ancient and old condition. Note that this is a condition of psychological conditioning, of cultural pattern, of social pattern, of family pattern, of educational pattern. We were taught to envy, be jealous; we have been taught the patterns of egoic self-protection; we were taught to live within this model of self-image. That self-image is that belief you have about who you are. This creates an image, too, about the other, about Life, about Existence, and that separates you, that puts you in a state of egocentric identity, of identity around which the world, life, and others have to revolve. The result of this is anxiety, depression, fear, and various forms of unhappiness.
Life, in the egoic sense, has proved to be very real in its lie, in its illusion. With that, the human being has identified himself. This approach of observing the movement of the mind here and now allows you to see this presence of jealousy… in it, there is no "someone;" that this presence of envy… in it, there is no "someone."
What we have in jealousy is an image, an image trying to protect itself, trying to defend itself, trying to be exclusive, trying to own things, trying to dominate things, trying to have everything only for itself. The sense of possession, of control, of domain, exclusive dominion, absolute control, makes us possessive and therefore jealous, and this is grounded in an image, the image you make of yourself.
So, in that moment of jealousy, that energy of jealousy… in it, there is no identity; it is a psychological conditioning, and it is also a conditioning in brain cells themselves, in the brain structure itself. The body and mind do not separate from this structure of jealousy when jealousy is present, but then thought arises and creates the idea, the ideology of the need to get rid of it, to separate from it or to do something about it, rejecting the state, that state of jealousy, or trying to rationalize the state of jealousy or protect the state of jealousy. In that division, there is the illusion of duality. This needs to be observed. If you can't observe this in yourself, you will continue to live this condition of jealousy. This goes for any of these psychological frames of internal conditioning for this mechanism, for this body-mind.
This sense of duality needs to be seen. This is learning about yourself; this is being able to break this condition and transcend this egoic state of mind. When there is this self-observation, when you become aware of what is happening here and now, just this watching without nurturing an idea, a belief, an image about it, but just watching this reaction, this feeling that arises... You give no names to this, you no longer call it possession, jealousy, you just watch… this watching without separating, without creating the illusion of an observer separating himself from this experience; there is only observation, without judgment, without comparison, without a conclusion, without a motivation to get rid of that pain, that suffering, or to justify it, or to consent to it...
This observation without any identification with it, this pure observation, without this separation between the observer and the observed thing, without this sense of duality creating this identification; the observation of this, pure and simple, can break this model of the psychological conditioning. This is the way to deal with the egoic mind, with this model of the egoic mind.
Then, it is possible for a new mind to arise, an entirely free mind to arise. It is time for this mind in Freedom to appear, a mind freed from this pattern of conditioning. Here, what is valid for envy is also valid for jealousy; what is valid for jealousy is also valid for ambition; for the sense of control, it is also valid for desire, or for some pattern, or some form of fear arising.
This pure observation without the observer separating himself – this is how we learn to deal with anxiety, with these frames of psychological pain states, such as, for example, depression. Direct observation of the movement of thought without the illusion of a thinker wanting to control, wanting to get rid of or wanting to defend himself, to protect himself from these thoughts… Leaving this reaction, it is possible to remain with this direct observation. In this direct observation, we have this attention on this movement.
This attention in Zen is called "mindfulness;" this full attention on what is here and now, internally and also externally. This is also called "mindfulness." This attention on the movement of consciousness, without being confused with what appears, with what appears at that moment, this full attention, this breaks this model, breaks this conditioning.
So, there is a break, there is a transcendence of that duality. Then, the sense of "I," of "me," of ego, disappears in this pure and direct observation. And when that disappears, that state is broken, because that state is present because that energy has not been observed.
It is necessary to become aware of what is happening here and now, so this energy, which was previously available to strengthen and sustain this condition... this energy is the very energy of Consciousness, of this Presence, which is Being.
So, this True Meditation is here and now, in everyday life, in living, walking, eating, talking to someone. You will always have challenges in life. This sense of "I" will always be challenged to be offended, hurt, jealous, to feel this moment of desire, of ambition, of pain, of depression, and you are bringing that attention to this moment, to this present moment, and thereby, there will be, in this full attention… The word “mindfulness” is an English word for full attention – in this full attention, there will be a breaking of that psychological duality.
Then, something new will reveal itself, the mind will enter an entirely new State, there will be a new Space arising, a Silence, a Stillness, a Freedom arising. This is the contact with your own Self, that is Meditation. I have called it the True Meditation.
Along with this, simultaneously, an energy will arise from within operating a change of the mind itself; and here the mind includes the brain itself and this whole psychological structure. This energy, some call Kundalini; it is that Power of Presence that arises when there is that Space, when that Space of the True Meditation takes place. So, it is possible for a change in body and mind to take place, a deep, radical change, with the Kundalini Awakening.
So, this is the work of learning about yourself, for the Self-knowledge, revealing the True Meditation. And along with that, it is the Awakening of this Presence, this Consciousness, this Energy, which I have been talking a lot here on our channel: about the True Meditation and the Awakening of Kundalini.
Our subject here on the channel is about this Spiritual Awakening or Spiritual Enlightenment, and this is nothing but this contact with That which transcends the "me", the "I", the ego; your Natural Timeless State of Plenitude, Completeness, Happiness, Love.
So, in this Intelligence, in this Presence, that which has no name is revealed, That which is beyond this condition of duality, of separation. This contact with your Self is Love. If this is present, Life is what It is, and there is no more suffering.
This is the subject that we work with you here in this channel. We are offering you the possibility of this Freedom to live within this Vision, the Vision of Life as It is.
So, Enlightenment is possible, Awakening is possible, if this contact with your Being takes place.
So, that's the subject here on our channel. If this makes sense to you, leave your “like,” there, subscribe to the channel… Reminding you that we have online and face-to-face meetings. You can be a part of it.
