Awakening of Consciousness | Advaita Vedanta | Spiritual Enlightenment Ramana Maharshi | Egocentrism

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

Our purpose here on the channel is to deal with this very important issue of Spiritual Awakening.

Spiritual Enlightenment is all you really need, because this sense of “my life” is very complicated. And when Spiritual Enlightenment occurs, which is the Flourishing of your Being… Some call this also “Kundalini Awakening,” and here I refer to the True Kundalini Awakening, to the end of the egoic sense, to the end of the sense of separateness, to Spiritual Enlightenment, as Ramana Maharshi described, as others also put it, just like we are doing here.

It is in this sense that we use the expressions “Awakening of Consciousness,” “Kundalini Awakening’ here. This is all that is necessary in your life: to verify the Truth of your Being. Realizing the Truth of your Being is to be free from this psychological model of collective consciousness.

The human being has the idea of ​​existing, having an individual consciousness, so he carries this illusion of individuality. Grounded in this illusion of individuality, there is the feeling of having a life of its own. So, you... when referring to yourself, you say “my life.” This is not correct; this is not real. There is no such individual consciousness, it is just an illusion, the illusion of individuality.

There is a Reality that surpasses everything that your thought formulates, believes, idealizes, projects. The point is that we as human beings are living in thought. And in thought, for example, we take actions… We don't realize that these actions are conflicting actions, they are problematic actions, because they are actions that are born from this background of psychological conditioning that we carry within ourselves, in this consciousness, which is not individual, it is this egoic consciousness, it is this collective consciousness.

As human beings, this psychological and physical structure is a heritage of humanity, and this consciousness is the consciousness of humanity. This consciousness carries a lot of confusion, it is a very complex consciousness. We, as human beings, have our lives based on fear; fear and desire.

Psychologically, we see ourselves as an identity, as being an identity, as being “somebody.” There is this sense of psychological complexity in each of us, because of this content, which is this consciousness common to all. We bring the illusion of being “someone” living now, here, in this instant.

We have a name and we have a body. We believe that this name refers to who we are, and this body is ours, which is a very curious and funny thing. This body is of Existence and this name is something lended by someone who, at some point, chose this name and gave it to this body.

We believe we have this mind, we have this body and we have this name. We are just memory, a psychological and physical set of memory – this is the structure of this body-mind. Your ear is from your great-grandfather, your lips are from your great-great-grandmother, the shape of your feet, the type of hair, all this is inheritance, it is a memory of your ancestors. This is the story of this “me,” this “I,” this ego – a set of remembrances, a set of memories.

Realization is the end of it! Spiritual Enlightenment, the Awakening of Consciousness, Kundalini Awakening is the end of it all! It’s the beginning of something entirely new!

So, these actions, based on this conditioning background, this memory background, are conflicting actions. Note how important it is to investigate this here.

Let me talk to you about the illusion of this separate identity in action, about this illusion of individuality.

We believe that we are doing things because we choose, decide and resolve.

Note that this is all memory. Your actions are not born out of a choice of a present identity; they are actions that take place based on this background of psychological conditioning.

We have this illusion of freedom of choice because we believe we are someone with volition, will, power... What is present, in reality, is Life happening, and there is no such element as “me,” “I,” ego.

What happens is that this sense of “I” in you is getting mixed up with this memory and seeing itself in time and space, as a separate identity; seeing itself as an individual and, naturally, suffering.

What sustains suffering in each of us is this illusion: the illusion of this “I” in this experience called life. So, there is this duality.

It is a very important subject here… The illusion of this individuality has been investigated for millennia by beings who have realized themselves by working on it. When you realize That, which is Awakening, Enlightenment, Wisdom has flourished, Understanding has flourished, Truth has flourished… the Truth that You are that Reality beyond time and space, beyond body, name and mind, and therefore, beyond this illusion of “someone” in control, “someone” doing.

Our actions are very problematic! The human being feels, thinks and acts in a discordant way. He carries this contradiction: he feels one thing, he thinks another and does something else. He believes he is choosing… He would never choose that way! No one would consciously produce suffering for oneself; No one would act or do anything to be unhappy in a conscious way.

The fact is that we live in a condition of pure unconsciousness. As long as there is this identification with this illusion “I am the body,” “I am someone,” there will be this condition of unconsciousness, and in that unconsciousness, actions are born.

So, there is no Intelligence in an apparent choice based on this illusion of this false identity, which is unconsciousness.

Our work here is to investigate the illusion of that, to go beyond that illusion. Therefore, in this channel, we are investigating with you the Spiritual Enlightenment, Spiritual Awakening, God Realization, as some call it ...God Realization. Self-realization is God Realization for you in this life, you being Consciousness, Presence, Being, Happiness, Intelligence... A Beatific Life, a Life in Love, a Life in Peace... An action now, in that body-mind, that is no longer born from that background of memory.

Actions in the ego, in this “me,” in this “I,” are actions that are based on this memory background. Then, a thought arises, an intention arises on the basis of that thought, and then you go into action. This “you” is just this psychological movement in action, producing disorder, producing confusion, between mistakes and successes, for this “me.” This “me,” this “I,” this ego remains unhappy, dissatisfied, living in this internal background of suffering, of unhappiness, called existential void.

We have several names for internal patterns of psychological unhappiness, within this model of psychological time, for this condition of egocentrism of this “me,” this “I.” There are several names for these frames of unhappiness: existential void, anxiety, loneliness, depression, anguish, boredom, fear, the conflict so present in desires, dissatisfaction, existential pain... all these are within psychological condition of memory, with which we entangle ourselves, we identify, because we create that identity by separating ourselves from this experience.

Approaching Self-awareness will reveal it to you, along with Meditation – and here I mean the True Meditation… We have a playlist here explaining exactly what the True Meditation is. This is a very popular word, there are several meditation practices… And here I refer to the True Meditation, which is meant to reveal That to you; not the meditation to alleviate internal patterns of suffering for the ego, as it has been reported, especially here in the West.

Every day a new technique is created, a new meditation practice, to relieve stress, to sleep better, to relieve depression, to... it’s always to relieve, never to put an end to this psychological condition, to this psychological frame. This is because? Because the end for that means the end of the ego, of this “me,” of this sense of a present identity. This requires a work of Self-awareness, the True Self-awareness and True Meditation.

And here we have, on our channel, a playlist about the True Meditation, where we address this issue of Self-awareness. Another playlist is about Kundalini Awakening. I have recommended here on the channel to take a look, to investigate this.

Therefore, the real work is the Realization of Non-Duality – this is what is proposed in Advaita Vedanta. This is because of True Self-awareness and True Meditation, which I call the True Practical Meditation, here and now. The direct living of experience, which is this background of psychological conditioning, which is basically memory, without putting an identity into it… looking at it in a direct way, without separating, so it is possible to go beyond. It’s not about defeating; it’s about going beyond.

When someone asks “how to overcome fear?” or “how to overcome anxiety?” or “how to overcome this or that?” here it is about going beyond this psychological condition, going beyond the “me,” the “I,” the ego.

So, this is the subject that we work on here on the channel, also in online meetings and in face-to-face meetings.

If this is something that makes sense to you, leave your “like,” subscribe to the channel and let’s work on it together. OK?

See you soon.
