Hello guys! Welcome to another meeting here on our channel. Understanding the Truth about who we are, that’s all… that’s the only thing needed in our life. Some people call This Spiritual Enlightenment, Spiritual Awakening, or the Awareness of the truth about yourself.
Will a life free from this psychological complexity be possible? You have already noticed that our mind lives within a great complexity. This complexity represents all this mess that we, as human beings, get into, and get involved in.
There are, for example, actions in us that are completely discordant. We behave one way and then realize it wasn't exactly the best for ourselves.
This shows us, for example, that we would never do that if we didn't have a certain level of psychological disturbance and disorder since no one is willing to produce suffering for oneself in a conscious way.
Thus, these discordant actions, for example, conflicting actions and problematic actions we have, occur because of this internal disorder, this psychological complexity. I’ve called it unconsciousness, what we could also call insanity.
So, our egoic mind – and here I refer to this mind that lives within this model of separateness, of duality, in this proposal of you being present acting, present in the action.
We are going to investigate this a little today in this meeting. This action proves to be problematic because it is conflicting and discordant, it produces results we don't really want for ourselves, and yet, we move to act that way, and then, we realize the consequences of that. They are conflicting, discordant, and problematic actions. This occurs because of this internal psychological state in which we live, of duality, of contradiction.
We, as human beings, feel and think, however this feeling and this thinking have no basis in Truth. The basis of this feeling, of this thinking is disorder, the disorder of thought and the disorder of feeling and emotion. And actions are born from that. Let’s see it now, here, with you.
Where do our actions come from? Our actions are born from thought and feeling. It is thinking and feeling that drive us to act. Now, is it possible to have an action free from this thinking and feeling and, therefore, free from this background of conflict, contradiction, of duality? This background we call ego, “I,” or “me.”
So, our actions are always being… happening based on that, on the sense of “someone,” on “someone” in this doing, in this accomplishing, in this executing this. Is an action possible free from this “someone,” this “me,” this “I,” from this ego?
When we talk to you about Enlightenment or Spiritual Awakening, we are putting to you that there is an action, yes, free from the ego, free from this sense of “I,” and therefore, free from this internal state of duality, contradiction, of conflict.
What is this internal state in this format? The idea is that it is “you” in action. So, there is “you,” the “I,” with its ideas and feelings, proposing to accomplish something. After that is done, that same sense of “I” realizes that this action is conflicting and problematic, this is not what you wanted, and this is not what you wished for yourself.
Notice that our life takes place in actions. Everything in your life took place and is taking place because of actions, actions taken, accomplished, and done. Who is it happening in? To whom is it happening? For whom are the actions? For “me,” for the “I,” for the ego.
So, there is an intention, a motive, a desire, and then the sense of an “I” present goes in search for this accomplishment, and then it realizes this action was conflicting, this action wasn’t what it really expected. This is within that sense of “I.” It is within this “I” that this action takes place, it is for this “I” that this action occurs. As this “I” is a set of images, memories, and remembrances that never understands Life as a whole, never understands Life as It is, and never align itself with the purpose of Life, with the purpose of Existence, what happens here is the conflict, the problem.
Therefore, the ego is the problem, the “I” is the problem, and its actions are all based on this sense of a wish to be fulfilled*, for “me,” for the ego, for the “I.”
There is a way of behaving in this life, of moving in this world, free from the sense of “I” and, therefore, free from this contradiction, this problematic action, this contradictory action. This action is free from memory, from this whole set of opinions, judgments, beliefs, motivations, intentions, and desires... An action free from the ego is the action of Consciousness, it is the action of your Being.
Your Natural State is the State free from this egoic sense, this sense of an author in actions, an author present here, acting, moving, doing things. Then, Life happens.
This quality of action is the action of Love, of Intelligence. Then, there is this Freedom to flow with Life; there is no sense of “I.” It is not an action for that “I,” on that “I,” on the ego, on that “me,” in that sense of a separate identity.
Our meetings have this purpose: to show you that a life free from psychological suffering is possible. And a life free from psychological suffering is a life free from contradictory actions, actions in fear, desire, and problematic actions.
Thus, our job here is to show you that a life free from these discordant, conflicting, and problematic actions is possible. An action in Love is an action in this Presence, in this Consciousness, in this sense of Reality. There is no “someone” … it is the movement of Joy, the movement of Presence, it is Consciousness itself moving in Love.
In general, our actions are driven by the motives of this ego, this “me,” this “I,” result of desires or to escape pain or suffering. So, they are actions born out of desire, born out of fear, they are actions that are born… from a reaction from the past.
Life is present here and now, with all that it represents, and your action born of this feeling-thought is an action that comes from this memory, from this past. So, it upholds conflict and suffering.
Here, we are working with you on the possibility of that Liberation, the Liberation of this psychological model of living, of existing, of being “someone” – that model is the model of psychological time. It is the end of psychological time, for the end of this illusion. The illusion of this individuality is within this movement, in this idea of being the author of actions.
The Recognition of the Truth of your Being is the Awareness of this Presence here and now, in this new action, an action born from Intelligence, not an action born from the reaction, memory, remembrance, from those secret motives based on fear, on all the contradictions of this ego, this “me.”
So, here it is a free action, an action in Freedom, an action in Love. This is possible when there is the clarity of Self-awareness. There needs to be an Acknowledgment of the Truth about who You are; you need to abandon this mistaken identification with this false center, this false ‘I,’ this place from which thoughts, feelings, and actions emanate. This is the false center; this is the false identity.
Self-awareness puts you in touch with this observation of this movement. To look directly at this movement and perceive the presence of contradiction, of conflict, of this illusion of this “I,” which sees itself as the agent, as the author, as the one who is responsible, making its choices within the actions, within its beliefs, believing in what can be good for it, or harm – this discrimination based, basically, on thought...
But there is this illusion of a present identity making these choices. These choices are born, naturally, from this confusion, this duality, this illusion of the thinker with its thought. Perceiving this is Self-awareness. Perceiving… and just perceiving, without imposing anything on it, without judging, comparing, rejecting, but just perceiving that there is this duality between this “I” and this intention, between this “thinker” and this thought. To perceive this duality is to perceive this contradiction, this conflict, the fraud that there is an author of the actions.
When this is seen, it’s possible the end for this model of action, which is the action of the ego, of this “me,” of this “I.”
The work of the Recognition of the Truth about who You are, which implies this Self-awareness, puts you in direct contact with the possibility of the True Meditation. To look at this movement without mistaking yourself for it, just becoming clearly conscious, aware of it... This requires work, a discipline that is not born from external teaching, an external ordinance, or external motivation. A discipline that is born from this joy of being able to verify and discard from oneself the illusion of this egoic sense, this sense of separateness.
So, Meditation happens, the True Meditation happens, and when it happens, the sense of “someone” present in this doing, in this action, with his intentions, his motivations, his machinations, his strategies of accomplishments, all this ends, for this presence of an entirely new action, new and unknown – new because it is not part of the past, and unknown because it is not part of memory or remembrance, of everything that represents knowledge coming from the past.
So, we are facing something new and unknown. This action that is born from Consciousness is Love. Only that can put an end to this mess in our relationships.
Notice that our relationships occur in conflict. We are in conflict: the husband is in conflict with the wife, the wife with the children, the children with the parents... There is this disagreement, this disorder, and this confusion in relationships because our actions are based on the past and the known.
There is no Love in our actions because the sense of “I” is present. When Love is present, there is no sense of “I,” then there is no author of actions, no “me,” the “I,” the ego. And when that is not present, there is no longer the presence of confusion, contradiction, disorder, and suffering.
To live in this new and unknown condition is to live here and now, in this contact with the New, the Unknown, the Reality of Being.
So, Happiness is present when the sense of “I” is not present, when this duality is not present, when there is no longer a relationship based on opinions, judgments, on the belief she makes about him and he makes about her, on the belief that you, as a husband makes about your wife and your wife makes about you as a husband.
When there are no longer these beliefs, these opinions, these internal, psychological judgments, which I have called images, they are no longer present, when these images are no longer there, the relationship is a relationship based on Intelligence, Freedom, and Love. This quality of action that takes place carries this fragrance, this perfume, of What has no name – and we give many names to This, to That. I refer to the Divine Reality, which is God!
This perfume of the Divine Reality, which is Love, the Reality of God, reigns when the egoic sense is not present. This is Love. This is the end of this confusion of an egoic life, of an egocentric life. Then, that model of egocentrism disappears, that model of egoic behavior, of egocentric behavior, the egocentric model is gone, the illusion of the sense of separateness is annulled, it is destroyed, it ends.
Then, we are before this Reality: The Reality of your Being – This is Love, Freedom, and Spiritual Enlightenment. Ok?
