How to deal with fear? The fear and self-image | The psychological time | Mindfulness | Ego-identity

Fear is not something abstract. We don't face fear as an abstract thing, but as something that presents itself in a very real way to that sense of “person” that we believe ourselves to be.

This sense of “person” does not have fear as an abstraction, but as a reality. And here I want to continue showing you how to deal with this fear, since fear will always be based on this image, this self-image, this image that you have of yourself.

You've been building an image about yourself, you're holding that image, and that image is the one that suffers, and it’s that image that feels that this pain, which we call fear, is not an abstract thing.

Another aspect of fear is that it is always in a relationship of duality, of separateness, between this image that you have of yourself – and that image is an idea, a belief… The sense of a present “person” is the sense of a self-image, engendered, built by thought.

The foundation of this image has been reinforced by this whole context of society, the world, culture and this whole set of beliefs that you have kept, accumulated, acquired over the years.

This self-image... This is what gets hurt, what feels this weight, this pain, which we call fear. So, it’s not an abstraction for that reason as well – because it’s something that’s always within a relationship, it’s always within a relationship of duality between this “me,” this “I,” this image, and this given experience that thought says is the cause of fear.

So, this is not an abstraction, this is something very real for this sense of “person,” for this self-image. But that’s one aspect… Now, I want to put another thing here.

Despite not being an abstraction, I will keep telling you that sustaining this model of life, this model of existence, where there is this separateness between you and the experience, which is always seen as the cause, the culprit of fear…. I will always say that this duality is always supported by unconsciousness.

And if it is sustained by unconsciousness, it has no real life.

In that sense, what we call fear is an illusion.

I don't mean the physical fear of imminent, physical danger that you face.

The brain itself has a movement of physical, psychophysical self-defense, to protect itself or not to be injured, for example, when a car comes towards you at high speed. In those few seconds, if there is this perception of danger, the brain has a self-defense movement, and the body is taken out of that condition of risk, of danger.

This fear is natural.

When you come across a snake, there is a movement, already physical, of self-protection, of immediate distancing. You can even be far from the snake, but when you see it, when you spot it, you move a little further away. So, this movement of self-protection, which we also call fear, is a natural movement of the body’s own intelligence, of the brain itself, of self-protection.

Here, I am referring to psychological fear, the fear that your parents once had, your grandparents once had, your great-grandparents once had, the fear that you have – the fear of the invisible enemy. Thought constructs non-existent dangers. They are dangers idealized in an alleged future, imagined by thought. So, thought anticipates, it creates the future and makes enemies there.

If you have a talk to give… You know the subject, you've studied the subject, and you're faced with fear. When you go to sleep, before the day of the presentation, thought arises and puts you in front of the audience, making mistakes or not getting it right or leaving something to say that you had prepared to say, and you see the audience rejecting your presentation. This is an example of psychological fear.

But here you can see and find many other examples: the fear of being betrayed, the fear of being deceived, the fear of not being accepted, the fear of not being understood, the fear of not being understood... All of these are forms of psychological self-protection, of anticipation, within this purely egoic background, within this principle of separateness between this “I,” which is basically self-image, and the given experience, which in this case is a lecture, which in this case is contact with another person, a presentation, or the imagination of “why is he taking so long? He should have arrived! Why didn't he send me a WhatsApp?”

These are examples of present fears that have no reality. So, in that sense, these fears are abstractions, idealizations created by thought.

In the sense of being felt, in that sense of feeling, for the body and the mind, this proves to be something that is not an abstraction. But, looked at closely, it is a construct of self-image, and that self-image is an illusion sustained by this lack of attention to the Truth about who You are.

You see, the sense of ego, the sense of that self-image, which is that ego, creates that separateness, because it creates the future, it creates the imagination, it creates the image, it creates the fear. The ego is the basis of fear, psychological fear. Fear is basically suffering, it is staying in suffering, it is living within that sustenance of suffering.

So, this fear of the future is similar to the fear of the past; it’s because something didn't work out yesterday that thought anticipates saying “it won't work out tomorrow,” “do you remember that it didn't work?”, “do you remember that you were rejected?”, “do you remember that you were not accepted?”, Do you remember that you really didn't say things you were supposed to say?”, “Do you remember the last time you presented a lecture?”, “Do you remember that first boyfriend cheated on you?”, “Do you remember that when she was late, she was really with someone else?”

So, it’s always based on thought, based on memory, that self-image, which is the ego, builds the future and puts you in this condition of apprehension, of psychological pain, of emotional pain, of fear.

The Truth about who You are is the end of fear, of that non-abstraction, which is the fear being felt by that body-mind, and the end of that abstraction of that ideological fear, which is held simply by that self-projection of thought.

So, thought puts you in that condition of psychological time. It is this psychological time that has to be broken, has to be broken up. There is no psychological time! Tomorrow is not real... tomorrow is not real!

Reality is here and now, as Consciousness. There is only Consciousness! Anything else is a construct idealized by thought.

So, thought upholds fear, thought upholds that non-abstract fear that you feel in your body and mind; this thought sustains this abstract fear idealized by thought.

So, the psychological time factor has to be understood by us.

It is necessary to go beyond the psychological time, to position ourselves outside this psychological condition of identification with what thought says.

The word “identification” here means to confuse oneself with what thought says, to believe what thought says, to accept that what thought is saying is real. Thought is just thought; thought is just an idea.

The word “cup” brings you a form, it brings you an image, it brings you an object. Is this image, this shape, this object the glass? But one word – “cup” – is all it takes for the glass to appear! Right? If I, for example, say to you: don't think about the table! Don't think about the table! How does this mechanism of thought work? Thought has an offer, and it offers because of a demand. So, the thought “table” is not the table, but the table has already appeared for everyone here! The thought “cup” is not the cup, but the cup has already appeared for everyone here! You know what happened?

The brain has this mechanical, biochemical, physiological, neurological movement of putting thought as a reality. So, there is an offer because there is always a demand.

So, here, I am going to give you the key to go beyond the egoic mind: watch the movement of the image, how it arises... The next time a thought arises within you – “I am being deceived,” “this will not work out”, “but if I do and it doesn't happen?”, “what if, in front of the people I'm going to talk to, I go blank?” ... The next time thought appears, stay with it, that’s all! It’s just a thought, it’s not real. It’s like the presence of the “cup": there’s no cup, it’s just an image; it’s like the presence of the “table": it’s just an image, an offer given by thought.

It presents itself and you don't put an identity on it. If you don't put an identity on it, as a thought, it’s harmless.

This requires Mindfulness. If you are in that Full Attention or if along with that offer comes that Mindfulness, there will only be an offer, but no demand. And if there is no demand, this image is not valued.

Do you understand this? This image is not fed, it is not sustained.

So, the liberation from fear… And here, when I address fear, I mean all forms of fear: there is the fear of loneliness, there is worry – and that is fear.

We just put it: worry… Worry is always in the future. It is not here and now. Loneliness is a negative hope, it is not here. It is thought that builds loneliness; it’s an offer. All forms of anxiety regarding any aspect of your life… anxiety is an offering, it is a thought arising. It’s like thinking “cup” or “table.” If you don't give importance to the thought “cup” or “table,” as just happened, who still has the cup and the table there? They’re gone.

You don't do that with thoughts because there is a self-appreciation of that self-image in the thought that appears. An important detail: thoughts appear due to demand.

The search strengthens new thoughts arising. So, thoughts in you are processed like this. In all of you! Supply and demand.

Each mechanism, each organism, each body-mind has its predilections, its demands and its offers. It has been strengthened, is being strengthened, by this inattention.

You are unaware of this habitual model that, when the thought arises, you immediately welcome it, embrace it, then you identify yourself with, you create an identity. Your desires are like that and your fears too. And, for each one present here, the model of thought that arises is different, which is the offer, and the search, which is the demand.

So, what’s the secret to getting beyond this ego-identity, this self-image? So, to go beyond anxiety, depression, loneliness, worry, all forms of internal, psychological anguish, such as negative imagination, negative thoughts, low self-esteem or the illusion of high self-esteem?

To go beyond the psychological need to be loved, to be accepted?

Don't you realize that these are all offers of thought to a search of an illusory identity, which is sustaining fear and therefore suffering?

The care given to the end of the ego is the care given to the end of fear.

It is the end of suffering in all its representations. And how is that done? Looking at the thought as an offer.

In that look, in that Mindfulness that is given, the movement of search does not enter. These images arise here and now… they don't need to be fed, held, they need to be seen. And they are seen when there is this Full Attention of the movement of the mind. This I have called Meditation.

Meditation is this Attention on the movement of consciousness. Everything inside reveals itself and is seen, but it must be seen that way, as one looks at the cup, as one looks at the table. You don't cling to the table, you don't reject the table either. You don't fight with the thought of “table.”

Because you don't fight, because you don't cling, because you don't locate yourself as an experiencer of the table or the glass, it disappears. Why? Because it does not find an identity in this experience. This is the point! This is Meditation.

When you learn to look at the movement of thought without giving it an identity, it doesn't hold up, there’s no identity in that apparition, so it’s just an existential phenomenon, like rain. The rain comes and goes! Thoughts are like that! What you have been doing, inadvertently, for lack of this awareness of the art of what I have called True Meditation, which is the direct observation of the movement of the mind, which begins like this, within this Mindfulness…

An entirely new, unknown Space takes place and your brain opens a Space of Stillness and Silence, not forced.

The very absence of thought, because it is not sustained, brings a Silence that transcends the illusion of time, of the psychological time. This is Meditation.

So, the body is present, thought is present, you are whole, complete, here and now… Whole, completely! Just sitting, or walking, or watching TV, or writing, but there’s no illusion of that present identity, that self-image, sustaining these frames of negative anticipation, sustaining fear.

Then, there is complete Liberation from that body-mind.

Here, I have said that now the Awakening of this Power begins, coming from within. I put it like this, in sequence, but it’s not like that, in sequence; it happens simultaneously. This Power already takes over the body and mind, breaking this pattern of identity and identification with this “I,” with this ego, with this self-image. That’s the end of fear.

There is no free will | Revelation of Self-Awareness | Ramana Maharshi | Awakening of Consciousness

Is there free will? We have to approach it in a simple way. Clearly, you can approach the answer to this question in a way, well… quite philosophical. This, in fact, would be impossible for me since I’m not a philosopher.

So, I couldn't approach this subject from that philosophical perspective. I would have to put it in a very basic way here, within my language.

The question before that – because the question is this: “Is there free will?” – would be: “Is free will real?” I’d ask another question before this one. I’d ask the question: are you real? This is the point!

No bird claims free will, no bird... No animal in the forest claims free will, and no fish in the sea claims free will. They don't ask that question; they don't ask it to themselves.

You have the opportunity to ask yourself… before the question “Is there free will?”, you have the opportunity to ask yourself “Who am I?” Then, the question is: are you real?

The awareness of the Reality of your existence is something that transcends the “I am real” thought. The sense of Being precedes the idea “I exist.” “I exist” is a thought, and “I am real” is a thought. “You are real” – that is a thought. However, the awareness of being is something present here and now.

A person suffering from amnesia does not doubt being. The absence of memory, of remembrance, which is the absence of thought, is not real in the sense of denying your existence; it can't do that. What is You remains as You, whether you have any memory of a story about a character who has a name, a family, a whole background… and the Reality that is you.

Thus, the question is, “Who am I?” If you solve that question if you find the real answer to that question… The point is, the real answer to that question goes beyond any story you have about yourself, about this “me,” this “I.” However, if you find this answer, it becomes very clear that Life, as It happens… It happens and there’s no “someone” in it. If there is no “someone” in it, there is no choice; there is nothing to say about choosing or not choosing, free will vs determinism.

You can have ideas about determinism, and you can have ideas about free will, but they are ideas! Life is what It is. As Life is, Life happens… It happens as the rain happens, the change of weather happens, the clouds float in the sky, as the wind happens, the trees give their flowers, and then come the fruits. Everything happens…

But I know what your question is. Your question is which type of ice cream you will choose. You believe that you are “somebody,” and in this idea of being “somebody,” there is an idea as well, a second idea: the idea that there is a choice for that “somebody.” Options come up to that “someone,” and then, after you choose, you say, “I have free will because I chose chocolate ice cream and not cream.

The point is, you haven’t chosen the thought, but you believe you’ve chosen the ice cream. The inclination of appreciation of chocolate, in that organism, you have neglected. That is present... that predisposition to enjoy chocolate ice cream and not vanilla ice cream is present, but you've neglected it. And then you say, “I chose chocolate ice cream, not vanilla cream ice cream.”

The point is that thought is also an event, and so is this predisposition to prefer chocolate ice cream. There’s no “you” in that. There is no “you” before, during, nor after that.

The sense of Consciousness is the sense of Being; it’s not the sense of being “someone.” See how interesting that is. As Presence, as Consciousness, this sense of Being, as I’ve just said, precedes remembrance and memory, precedes thought. In other words: everything that happens to this body-mind, to this mechanism, is as it happens in the whole Existence – it’s an event without the control of “someone.”

The rain falls, the snow comes; the temperature of the environment changes, winter, summer, spring comes... Life happens as It is! So, the body also happens, and thought happens, and the predisposition to enjoy chocolate ice cream, for that organism, for that mechanism, also happens. There is no “someone"!

But our belief, since childhood, since we were called, for the first time, by name... this sense of identification with the name and that body, left a mark, an impression on the brain, a recording. From that moment on, we start to believe that we are that “entity,” that “person,” and that we have that “name,” and that’s ‘us’.” That’s just the body!

It’s this body that has the name, a story, it’s this body that likes chocolate ice cream. This predisposition is in the brain, in the machine. That choice happens, there’s no “someone” to make that choice. Thought happens, there’s no “someone” to produce the thought. The appreciation of chocolate ice cream happens, but there’s no “someone.”

Take that example and extend it to different aspects of your life. Everything only happened so far in your life and will keep on happening in your life. The question you have to ask is “who am I?” and to find out if there’s an entity separate from this Life.

This is where Self-Awareness comes in. Understanding the Truth about Yourself discards the illusion of this “me,” this “I,” you believe to be. So, the Realization of your Divine Nature, your Essential Nature, which is not the body, not the mind, not the apparent experiences of choice or non-choice. That which “You” essentially are, is the answer to this question “Who am I?”

There is no free will, or free will is present, but there’s just no sense of “someone” in it – if you like it that way. There’s a choice, but there’s no “someone” within that choice; it’s just Life happening. There is determinism, but there’s just no “someone” within determinism.

We use terms like free will, determinism, choice, and no choice, always on a false basis, in the illusion that there’s “someone” within it. There isn’t! The point here is: there isn’t, there’s no such thing!

When someone calls you by name, you answer. The idea is of “someone” answering that call. The call is being answered, but there’s no “someone” answering that call.

Life is what It is, Life is what is – that’s another answer. What is life? Life is this, here and now! It’s always the sense of “someone” present, within this experience called Life, the basis of all this illusion of this false center of accomplishing, talking, listening, and doing. There’s no “someone” in it! It’s simple to observe this in yourself, just look and ask here and now, at this moment: what is the next thought? What’s the next thought you're going to have? Does anyone know it? If you don't know the next thought, how would you have the next behavior, the next action, the next decision, the next choice?

At birth, they gave you a name. This is true… No! They gave that child a name. Look at life, over all these years, and tell me what you chose that wasn’t the product or result of a set of events, incidents, accidents, and happenings… Tell me! You didn't decide to be born in the country where you were born, from the parents you were born, to have the name you have, the body you have, the color of the hair you have, the eyes you have...

When you started, as a child, to taste chocolate or vanilla ice cream, there was a predisposition of your own body to appreciate chocolate more. And, now an adult, you’ve just chosen chocolate ice cream and think you have free will because you can choose. This is present in this structure, in this mechanism, in this organism.

All these beliefs are based on illusion. Once you Understand the Truth about your own Being, something entirely new is present, which is this Vision of the Reality of this Consciousness. God, who is this Presence, this Consciousness, who is another name for this Ultimate Reality, who does everything His way, assumes this body, this mind. In the science of Yoga, and I’ve spoken this in these talks, they call This “the Awakening of Consciousness,” the Awakening of your Being, your Divine Nature, that Divine Power that takes over the body and the mind, which some people call “Kundalini.”

This Awakening of Consciousness, this Kundalini Awakening, is simply this Presence. Kundalini is synonymous with Presence, with God, with Consciousness, with Shakti – that’s what Ramana Maharshi said. This takes on the body and that is the Reality, the Reality of What You are, the Reality of your Being, the Reality of your Divine Nature.

To live within this new condition, free from the illusion of this sense of duality present in the egoic mind creating this and other illusions – the illusion of “someone” in control, “someone” doing, “someone” thinking, “someone” wanting, “someone “ not wanting to... This all disappears when you recognize yourself as Pure Consciousness, as Pure Being.

There’s only One Presence, in all this manifestation, resolving, doing, acting… Everything happens in Him, through Him, and for Him. This One Presence is the one that truly has all will. This is the Unique Reality, the Reality of the Whole, of Consciousness, the Reality of God! Ok?

That ’s the point.

Fear and self-image | Personal development | Frames of pathology | The psychological suffering

It seems to me that the best way for us to begin understanding this subject is to ask questions. When you ask about the issue of fear… I think we'd better start by changing it here. I’d like to ask you if it’s possible to have a life without any idea about yourself.

This “fear” element is present in this idea. When you speak of fear, you are speaking of what you identify as your fear, the fear of someone, which is you. However, the question we must ask here is – who are you? Since this “you” is within this idea you have of yourself.

We were conditioned within this programming, this structuring of psychological life. This is the pattern, the model. This is how we behave, how we conduct ourselves, how we stand in life – having an idea about who we are and what we can gain when that idea is improved, what we can do to improve who we are.

As we don’t, we ask ourselves “who am I?” and we are dealing with just an idea about it, we are in the habit of trying to continually sustain this idea we have of ourselves within an ever-increasing acceptance within our world, our circle of relations, of relationships. This idea is what one would call self-image.

When you use the pronoun “I,” you are referring to your own image, this self-image, this image you make of yourself, and you need this image to be improved.

There’s the illusion that the more accepted this image is, the more loved, welcomed, recognized, the happier you will be. In this behavior is a profound unconsciousness regarding this danger, which is the danger of sustaining an idea and a belief about oneself.

See, we are dealing with the issue of fear, but we can’t separate this fear you feel from this image you have of yourself. We must understand this – fear is present because of this idea you have of yourself. It is this idea that seeks to be accepted, loved, recognized, applauded, and praised. And it can't make mistakes, it can't fail.

So, you have this self-image. That’s why people, within this unconsciousness, talk a lot about the importance of developing the person they believe they are. This is another interesting point. If you think about personal development, what is implicit in that thought is the idea of someone who will broaden, improve, develop to be more successful, have more success, be more famous, have more public acceptance, and have more power.

Can you see why fear is present? The greater this idea of being someone on that level, in that position, the greater the fear. The sense of “I,” of the ego, is the sense of the person you believe you are – this is nothing but an image.

Why is this subject so important? Because it will show you that these internal frames of suffering are exclusively yours. They’re not productions made by the outside world, but rather self-production. It’s you, in this unconsciousness, in this movement that sustains this self-image, that establishes this condition of the psychological suffering. This is basically the state of human suffering; this is the condition of the ego, this “me,” this “I.” This is what sustains fear… fear and its many and varied forms. It’s something internalized, something internal, of an independent production, it has nothing to do with what the world is, life is, with what others are and how they treat you, how the world treats you, how others treat you, how life is...

As long as you are sustaining this self-image within yourself, it’ll feel itself in low self-esteem or bragged about, within vanity of self-esteem too. And all of that is basically fear. It’ll feel important – this self-image… As you mistake yourself for this self-image, which is this idea, this belief, you see yourself that way. Thus, if you get praised… it’s everything you want and hope for being happy. And how long does this happiness last? Until another person comes along to insult you.

So, one person will accept you and the other will reject you. And even the one who accepts you will do it for a while, until getting tired of you, getting tired of you, until you have nothing left to give the person in this exchange of relationship between images. Do you get that?

You can’t expect the world to be different from what you are. The way you see yourself, the world sees you; and what you expect from the world, the world also expects from you; and if you stop giving, the world also stops giving you the same thing. It’s a game, you see? It’s the ego game; it’s the self-image game, the game of fear.

Let me tell you here, in these few minutes, how to go beyond these frames that in psychiatry have different names. We can go beyond suffering. These frames of pathology, as called in psychiatry, are frames supported by this self-image. It’s just that. You don't want it consciously, but you sustain it in a programmed, unconscious, and educated way. Yes, that’s right! From an early age, we are educated about these internal frames of psychological suffering.

The world around us is just a mirror where we see ourselves. This world of relationships is what we are in this illusion of psychological unconsciousness, the unconsciousness of mind, of a mental model.

So, these frames of internal suffering, these different frames, which have different names – phobias, anxiety, depression, anguish, loneliness, boredom, irritation… there are countless names – all of this is based on this ego-identity, this egoic identity. This egoic identity is an independent production sustained by thought; it’s thought that sustains it.

In human beings there’s no condition of perfect psychological sanity; their psychological state is one of insanity. Neurosis, or the various other names given to these conditions, is something so common to all.

We can discover something beyond that, beyond this condition of suffering. That’s why I’ve just said: we'd better start by asking a question. When you ask me about fear, I want to ask you: is it possible for you to live free, inwardly, internally, from this model of sustaining an idea, a belief, or a self-image? Is it possible to discover a brain, within you, free from the need for self-image, for this belief? Is it possible for you to give up this sense of “I,” of “me,” of ego, this sense of self-worth, of self-importance, of the psychological need for appreciation, of this anxious, nervous behavior, of anticipation, of quick, immediate results? Is it possible to live free from this demand, of trying to adjust others, of making others what we, psychologically, want them to be?

As long as there is this cultivation of this self-image, you can have improvements in these conditions. It’s true; human beings can live for another forty, sixty, seventy years... that’s how humanity has lived. But your parents were psychologically troubled, as well as your grandparents. They were respectable people, yes, even admired; good people. They even had patterns you'd like to imitate! But they were people. This sense of being a person, within this model, is not real to the Truth of your Being, to the Reality of your Being, to What You are. This is not real! What You are is not that! You are not a person, you are Life!

I refer to that Natural State of Pure Being, Pure Consciousness, which is You. You are Life! Life is Love, Peace, Intelligence, Freedom, Life is Happiness, and You are Life! There’s no separateness between You and Life. As Consciousness, You are God – This is Life!

This sense of separateness sustains this ego-identity in suffering. This ego-identity in suffering is this cultivation of this belief, this idea, this image you have of yourself, and you don't investigate it. And then, you come and ask me, “How can I get rid of fear?” Being somebody, seeing yourself as somebody, sustaining it, it’s impossible!

Hence, your parents, those respectable, kind people, your grandparents, those who came before you – and that includes our educators, our teachers, our tutors, our masters… Fear is common to all, and fear is this condition of ego-identity.

That sense of separateness sustains and establishes fear. And these different frames of psychological sufferings present within the ego-identity, this ego-identity, are the common model because of this internal psychological disorder, internal insanity, unless the Awakening of Consciousness happens, this Divine Nature You are, You bring. This represents the end of that sense of separateness, of ego-identity, and the end of that image. Unless it becomes possible for you… and it has to be for you! It can't be for your parents, for your grandparents, for your great-grandparents, it’s for you!

What I have been saying to you is always this: you are the first in your family; you are the first to Awaken. To Awaken is going beyond this condition.

So, we have these expressions like “Spiritual Awakening,” “Spiritual Enlightenment…” Let’s put it another way: This is simply the Recognition of your Divine Nature. I’ve been calling This for a few years now “the Natural State,” since it is the Natural State of Being, without the “me,” the “I,” without the sense of ego-identity, the sense of separateness, the self-image.

The beauty of a Life free from fear, the indescribable Life of Happiness, this is not what thought represents as happiness, this is not what thought idealizes as happiness: the dream house, the dream wedding, the dream trip to Disney World. No, absolutely! It’s not that! Your Natural State of Being, here and now, free from this chaotic, disordered condition, in a relationship of life with the world, with yourself, with others, all based on this self-image... In your family... What you call a family is a relationship among people, each one carrying, in oneself, a self-image and seeking, in the relationship with others in the family, the same thing that you, in the ego, are looking for from them: a form of fulfillment, satisfaction, recognition, appreciation.

Healing comes from within, it will not come from outside. Doctors are wonderful, but they have their limits. For your information, they are also undergoing treatment, just like you. Because we have this: the illusion that doctors are supermen or wonder women. The doctor is a wonder woman or a superman. There’s no such thing! They are also undergoing treatment.

The cure doesn’t come from outside, from the specialty, from the condition of technical knowledge, from specialization, from the practice of dealing with symptoms and medications and with behavioral practices, or any other measure. Healing comes from within, the cure comes from the Recognition of your Divine Nature, your Real Nature, which is the Nature of God. And that is possible when there’s True Meditation.

I'm not going to talk about it, the time is already over… you can learn about True Meditation on our YouTube channel, in our speeches… I've been talking about the importance of True Meditation. True Meditation is a portal to Liberation from this false center, from this false “I,” from this self-image. Naturally, there comes a change in that body, in that mind, mainly in the brain cells themselves. Thus, there’s a radical, profound change.

So, the Truth of Being Consciousness, of a Life in Fullness, in Completeness, of a Life in God, is possible. This is the Realization of God, This is real mental, physical, and emotional health; it is the Reality of your Being revealed here and now. You were born to Realize This, Ok? The end of fear!

The psychological suffering | Advaita Vedanta | Escapes from psychological pain | End of egocentrism

Let’s talk about the psychological suffering. Not physical suffering, physical suffering we know. When you are going for medical treatment and there is a certain pain in your body due to some physical problem, this is physical pain, this is physical suffering.

Here, I want to work with you on this issue of psychological pain.

How to go beyond this presence of psychological pain that is suffering? It is in this sense that we use the expression “suffering” here: psychological suffering, psychological pain – this is what interests us.

We can make a list of what these psychological pains are: worry, anxiety, fear, insomnia, nervousness, stress, jealousy, envy, loneliness, the existential emptiness... all of this is part of this psychological suffering.

We have an illusion about this, a primary illusion: it is the illusion that this is being caused by some element external to ourselves, which is not true. That external element is just appearing as a challenge, as a stimulus, but this suffering is not from that challenge or that stimulus.

This suffering is something present in us, in what we are.

When a loved one dies, you suffer and you say that the death was cruel, because the belief is that if the death had not happened, the suffering would not have been there. In fact, this suffering is already present, it always has been, even before the death of that loved one, because the presence of that suffering is the presence of emotional dependency, it’s the dependency of attachment, it’s the dependency of fulfillment on that sensation of pleasure in that relationship, which is something intimate in what you are.

Notice what we're saying. You are the basic element of suffering, not the other. So, if a loved one dies, you're not grieving because they died, you're grieving because you're grieving, because that’s a fact of this “me” reality: grieving.

This “I” lives in pleasure and pain. This “I” lives, within its beliefs, seeking and trying to sustain something unsustainable. Death is inevitable, but this “I” does not accept losses. It doesn't accept that something it’s in control of, with power, and attached to, and feeling safe there, is ripped away from itself, is taken away from itself. It can't stand losing control. It is being emptied of its power.

The suffering present in us is the presence of the ego-identity. It is the egocentrism in us that is the real reason for suffering, it is not death, it is not the loss of a loved one. This also goes for someone who abandoned you. This sense of ego, of this “me,” this “I,” will never accept that it is no longer loved or that people don’t like it anymore. It will never say “they don't like me,” it will never say “I am that suffering.”

No, you will never say “I am suffering,” you will say “that makes me suffer,” “she makes me suffer,” “she was seduced, so he is guilty of seducing her. She was innocent, he is the culprit.” Always some outside, external element, never this “me,” this “I,” this ego.

If someone is betrayed on the sofa, they will take the sofa and throw it away.

Do you understand what we are saying?

The problem is always outside. This pain was caused by the couch, so I'm going to get rid of the couch. When suffering is present, I am not the suffering itself. The reason, the cause, is always an external element; it is something outside that was the culprit, that was the cause.

In the ego, we live unconscious of the truth that we are, of what we become in this egoic identification. Suffering is something that is always related to something; it is that “me” and something that has run away, that has gone away, that has died, that has disappeared. Suffering is always in that “I” in a relationship with something out there, with something external. Sadness has a reason, worry has a reason, fear, anxiety... It’s that “I” and this experience. This is what we call suffering, this is the psychological suffering.

See, that suffering has its roots, its reason, its cause, in that duality, and that duality is there because that “I” is there; this “I” is always the reason. You love somebody – here we have duality. That “someone” runs away with another. This idea is the idea of ​​the love I have in this relationship. When I am betrayed, deceived, when something happens outside the “I´s” control, suffering is there.

Now, is it true that the other, the world, is the reason, the cause, of my fixations, my desires, my psychological dependencies, my attachments? Is it the world?

You see, it is always the presence of duality. I never look at the suffering that I am when these desires, fears, attachments, these mistaken relationships of sensation, pleasure, self-fulfillment in the other, which I call love... I never look at this “me.” That “I” is the cause, that “I” is the reason. When there is Love, there is no such “I;” when there is Love, there are no others; there are no fixations, there are no desires, there are no fears, there are no attachments, there is no psychological illusion of self-fulfillment in an object, in a person, in a sensation. When there is Love, nothing can be taken away from you, because when there is Love, you have absolutely nothing: you don't have the power, you don't have the control, you don't have the attachment, you don't have the desire, you don't have the fear. When there is Love, that “you” is not a “person,” not an ego-identity in a relationship with the other, with the external, with the world.

Notice what we are working on with you. We are showing you that a life free of the ego, this “I,” this “me,” this illusory center around which the world has to revolve, is possible. This represents the end of egocentrism. The presence of Life is the presence of Consciousness, of Intelligence, and that is Love. And when there is Love, there is no suffering. When there is Love, there is no violence, there is no possession, there is no power, there is no control.

When something is taken away from you, you become self-absorbed, enraged, jealous. We call love those feelings like jealousy, possession, control. We don't use these expressions because they are ugly, they look sick to us, they appear to be expressions that... and, in fact, they are impressions linked to internal states of unhappiness. We call jealousy love, we don't realize that jealousy is possession, is control, is aggression, is violence, is emotional dependence. Jealousy is suffering. And this suffering is not because the other neglects us, it is because the sense of “I” in us feels neglected, betrayed, deceived, deluded, disenchanted.

We live, in the ego, within expectations that need to be seen. The moment you stop looking outside, at the world, stop having this relationship – all of it – based on the search for egoic self-fulfillment, which is the search for sensation, pleasure, fulfillment in a relationship with the other, with the world, with life… suffering ends. The Divine Truth, which is the Truth of God, reveals Itself. This is You in your Natural State of Spiritual Enlightenment or Spiritual Awakening.

Your Natural State transcends all states of this ego-identity. This “I” is a deep psychological, social, cultural, educational, ancestral conditioning; it is the movement of separateness, it is the movement of duality.

We have been focusing here on the importance of ending this sense of separateness, this duality. In India, this is called Advaita. This is straight from the Vedas. In the Vedas, we have a part called “Advaita Vedanta,” Non-Duality, Non-Separateness. The Vedas deal with this Vision of the Divine Reality of your Being, which represents Happiness. God Consciousness is the Consciousness of Non-Separation, of Non-Duality, of this “not me,” of this “not me.” If that is present, there is no suffering.

All the suffering is there because of that sense of duality or separateness, and it’s there because of the existence of this “I,” this “me.” This “me,” this “I,” is the suffering. It is the problem, it is not the world, it is not the other, it is not life. To investigate, to look, to observe, to go beyond this sense of “I” is to go beyond this duality, therefore it represents going beyond suffering, beyond all these escapes from psychological pains, which is this suffering of the ego. Smoking, drinking, eating, the pursuit of sex, or anything else done for the purpose of temporarily escaping these inner states of psychological pain are escapes.

Human beings live on the run, replacing what causes them pain with something else. Someone replaces his girlfriend, replaces her husband, replaces his wife, replaces... They live playing this game and continue in this internal frame of unhappiness, of suffering, because they are always identifying themselves with this “me,” with this “I,” with this ego. The observation of movement of the ego, how it moves, how it behaves in relation to the other, with life... the own internal movement of thought, feeling, emotion, sensation... The observation of this is the principle of Self-awareness. Without this principle of Self-awareness, which starts from this observation, there is no Awakening of Wisdom, and without Wisdom, which is the Presence of Intelligence, of Consciousness Itself, which is Love, there is no Happiness.

So, our work together here is to show you that Happiness is possible, Love is possible, Freedom is possible when that “I” is not there. So, your relationship with the other, your relationship with the world, your relationship with life is a free relationship here and now, for what arrives and leaves, for what comes and goes, because there is no such thing as “I” and therefore there is no more fear, attachment, power, control; there is no more illusion.

Therefore, this is the subject that we deal with, here on this channel. If this is something that makes sense to you, leave your “like” there, subscribe to the channel… I want to remind you: we have online and face-to-face meetings and also retreats to work on this together. If that makes sense to you, here’s the invitation. OK?

And we'll see you in the next one.

Meditation and Stillness. Ego consciousness. Therapeutic meditation. Observer and the observed thing

Meditation and Stillness. The human being does not live within his Natural State of Being. He lives in his psychological state, in his mental state. This psychological state of humans is the state of unconsciousness about his Being.

We have this consciousness which is the common consciousness of all, this consciousness which functions here in this waking state and also in the dream state.

This state of ordinary consciousness... in it we have an illusion: the illusion of an individuality. This individuality is the person we believe ourselves to be. And that person is restless, with no tranquility, with no serenity; he or she is without peace.

Psychologically, we live in conflict. We have this conflict with ourselves, we have this conflict with the other, and we have this conflict with the world. The result of this is the absence of stillness.

So, people, nowadays, talk a lot about the importance of meditation, as a therapeutic care action, as a therapeutic aid mechanism for stillness.

So, our subject here is Meditation and Stillness. But there is a confusion here: all the internal disorder of the human being, all the internal confusion in them, all this agitation, this lack of psychological, mental tranquility, in this consciousness, which is the ego consciousness, is something that is present because there is no Self-awareness.

So, we can go in search of meditation... There are several meditation practices being taught nowadays, with the purpose of achieving, in these practices, the tranquility of the mind, the stillness of the mind. And here, when we refer to Meditation, we are pointing to something other than that.

When we refer to Meditation, we are not referring to meditation as a practice for the stillness of the mind, but Meditation as the very Stillness of your Natural State.

So, it is in that sense that we use the expressions “Meditation” and “Stillness” here, because Meditation is Stillness – not the stillness that we can achieve through practice.

Through practice, through willpower, through discipline that you can impose on yourself, to create a certain order to thoughts, it can put the mind into a certain stillness.

So, the practices of meditation are meant to show you how to silence the mind, quiet the mind, pacify the mind, by effort, by technique, by practice.

Here, Meditation is Consciousness itself, in the Natural State of Stillness.

In this sense, we use the expression “True Meditation” here not as a practice, but the True Practical Meditation, in living, moment by moment – at every moment facing yourself and looking at problems.

Problems are the cause of psychological restlessness. We have numerous internal problems. These problems are sustained by thought. Faced with a challenge that life presents to us – always here and now – we want to resolve this challenge, respond to this challenge through thought.

But thought is something that comes from the past, it is something that comes from memory, it is the result of a memory, a remembrance, an idea, a belief. It is not possible, with that, to deal with life at this moment, in this present moment.

I'll give you an example of this: you are here and now. There’s just this going on around you, nothing but life as it is right now. And yet a thought comes up with a feeling, a memory, a remembrance. This brings up a frame that represents the suffering that, at this moment, someone you love, or that you consider to love, is going through.

This memory, this remembrance, at this moment, becomes a problem, because there is this impulse in you to be “someone” to deal with it, and you find yourself unable to solve this person’s problem. Actually, now it is your problem, because you separate from the memory, from the recollection – which is really just a memory, a remembrance – you separate yourself as being the thinker, as being a person having this memory, and you want to do something with it, you want to solve this problem and you know you can't.

For you, the problem is the person’s problem, but, in reality, now the problem is yours. There is a pain present while facing this frame. That pain is created by that separation between you and that memory, between you and that remembrance.

So, this is the challenge of life. At that moment, life presents you with a challenge and that challenge is: life is here and now, whatever is going on, but there is not this “me,” this “I,” to do anything about what is presented.

This is the psychological way of relating to life, to the world, to ourselves, to these images, these memories, and these remembrances.

There is this sense of “I”, which is the sense of the ego, of a “person” present, dealing with this model, which is memory.

The question is: what is thought? Thought is memory, thought is remembrance, thought is image; an image that arises, a memory that arises, a remembrance that arises.

We have the illusion of “being someone,” “somebody” who is bringing this about, which is not true. You are here and memory arises, and remembrance arises – that is thought. That thought cannot cope with reality.

Reality is what presents itself here, what is here, but thought tries to do something with it – it creates the thinker, and the thinker suffers. That thinker is the “I.”

So, there’s this sense of the present “I,” there’s this sense of the present thinker, which is actually thought itself separating and trying to do something with that image, that memory, that remembrance.

All this needs to be investigated. We spend our whole lives not realizing what thinking is in us, how it works in each of us.

The nature of the mind, in the Natural State, is like a lake. But when the wind blows over that lake, it becomes agitated, and when that lake is agitated, because of the wind blowing, we want to do something to calm the lake again; and the lake is under a strong wind and naturally choppy.

So, the egoic mind lives in a state of agitation, under this wind, which is this pattern of psychological conditioning, which is all the time producing problems for each one of us.

So, this “me,” this “I,” wants to solve the problems, but it cannot solve the problems, because this “me,” this “I,” is the thinker. It is part of the problem, because that thinker is thought itself. Do you see what we are saying?

There is no “someone” to solve problems at this level, but there is “someone” to produce problems at this level – at the psychological level.

All the problems, or all that turmoil on the lake, created by that constant wind... Rarely does the lake calm down, settle down. It is quiet for a second or two and then suddenly it is agitated again, because a new volume of memory, remembrance, thought... The nature of the “I” is to produce problems. This “I”, which is thought, is something that is arising all the time within you.

So, there is an internal dialogue, there is an internal monologue, there is an internal chatter, and there is an extraordinary volume of memories, images, frames that represent a form of contradiction, conflict, suffering.

So, there’s this restlessness, there’s this agitation, there’s this choppy lake. This choppy lake is the psychological condition of the human being. There is no Peace, there is no Love, there is no Silence, because what prevails is the presence of this psychological conditioning.

So, what is Real Meditation? Here, I refer to True Meditation. These therapeutic meditation techniques and practices give us a certain help, they give us a certain aid, but it is really a form of self-hypnosis.

We managed to temporarily tranquilize the lake. So, there is a tranquility produced by the mind itself, within that condition where a certain temporary silence is imposed.

So, the mind is as if imprisoned within a condition of order, of discipline, of self-hypnosis, and thus it calms down, becomes still, temporarily, during the practice.

There are several names, there are several practices, there are several techniques. So, there is meditation to sleep better, meditation to de-stress, meditation to reduce anxiety, to reduce depression…

So, there are different techniques and practices that actually carry a certain power with them, which is this power of self-hypnosis, which is this therapeutic power, to quiet the “I.” But the “I” is still present.

We are proposing here a direct work for Self-realization, for Spiritual Enlightenment, for the Awakening of your Divine Nature, which is Consciousness; and according to Ramana, Consciousness and Kundalini are the same thing.

Kundalini, Consciousness and God is that Presence in you that is asleep, that needs to Awaken, and the work of the True Meditation... And for Real Meditation to occur, Self-awareness is necessary.

These different meditation techniques and practices that, in general, people apply and devote themselves to, for some time, this can bring psychological, emotional, physical improvements... This is already proven – the well-being that this causes, which this brings – but this does not definitively solve the problem of psychological suffering.

It doesn't really end this sense of self-identity, which is this sense of separation between you and God, between you and life. So, problems continue.

They decrease. You learn to deal with one problem, but another problem arises, a second one arises, and then another problem after that…

Self-realization, Spiritual Enlightenment, Spiritual Awakening is the end of the ego, of that sense of a separate identity, and therefore it is the definitive end of all psychological problems.

These problems are only possible because the wind is blowing over that lake, and that wind ends when the egoic sense ends, then the mind finds its Natural State, aligned with this Presence, with this Consciousness, which is your Real Nature, which is your Divine Nature.

So, True Meditation is practical because it is experiential. It is based on looking here and now, moment by moment, not at a certain instant, for fifteen minutes or half an hour in the morning or in the evening, like it happens with different meditation practices.

True Meditation is what happens here and now – the observation of that movement of memory when it arises. So, if that memory comes up, you don't put an identity on that memory, on that frame of pain. You look, you don't judge, you don't compare, you don't reject, you don't try to do something, but just observe that it’s just a memory, a remembrance, an image. You don't mistake yourself for that by putting a present identity in that memory, in that remembrance, so it’s possible to break this psychological condition of suffering.

You do not deal with life based on thought, but on the basis of action. But an action that really corresponds, in an intelligent way, to that frame, to that situation, is not possible when there is this psychological disorder, this psychological confusion, this sense of “I” in pain. Mind in tranquility is needed, the mind in stillness.

When there is this Natural Stillness – because the mind has not been forced to settle down, it has not been forced to calm down, it has not been disciplined to put a halt to this movement of thought, to imprison this thought, to hold this thought – you are here and now, free, in Stillness, because this model of the wind blowing, of memory, cannot produce, in you, this illusion of an identity, this illusion of separation between the thinker and the thought, between the observer and that observed thing, which is remembrance, which is memory.

This is True Meditation – the observation of every thought, every feeling, every emotion, every sensation, without putting an identity present into it to judge, to reject, to fight against it, to suffer with that image, to put an experiencer in that memory. So, the brain experiences an extraordinary freedom in this attention, in this observation that it is an image, a belief, a memory, a remembrance.

And when this is done, in this way, without putting an identity on it, this frame dissolves, this suffering disappears, this pain is undone, because there is no longer an identity to give continuity to this image, this pain, this suffering, then the mind reaches that space of Pure Stillness; then a change takes place in the body and mind because of this True Meditation.

Then, True Meditation is possible, and that is Stillness, that is Tranquility, that reveals this Intelligence, this Presence, this Truth of your Being, of your Divine Nature.

This is Spiritual Enlightenment: the discarding of this chaotic, psychological condition of restlessness and uneasiness.

Then, this lake, now serene, in its calmness, can reflect this Presence, this Love, this Grace, this Wisdom, this Truth, which is the Truth of God, which is the Truth of That which has no name, of That which is beyond all this limitation of this “me,” this “I.”

This is the end of suffering and the Realization of the Truth of who You are.

This is the subject that we deal with here on this channel with those who approach. We do this in online meetings, face-to-face meetings, retreats... and here we also offer, in this video, the opportunity to work it out on yourself.

On our channel, we have a playlist about this True Meditation and about the Awakening of this Divine Power that you carry within yourself, which is Kundalini.

If this is something that makes sense to you, join these playlists, but before that, leave your “like,” subscribe to the channel and here’s the invitation to work on it. OK?

Thanks for the meeting. See you next time.

Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi | Self-awareness | Psychological conditioning | Mindfulness

We are on an approach to understand this process, the total process of Truth about ourselves.

Our work together here is within this Self-awareness, the search for the Revelation of this Being-Consciousness. It is about the Ultimate Reality about ourselves, the Ultimate Truth about who we are. This represents the Truth of Life, the Truth of God, the Truth of the other, the Truth of all Manifestation. This means the end of suffering, the end of the contradiction of this “I,” with its many desires, dilemmas, conflicts, and problems.

Here, it is important to say the following: nobody can, no expert can give us That; no book can give us That; no external knowledge can give us That. This is something you understand within yourself when you look, when you learn to look within yourself, when you learn to look at that movement, which is the movement of the mind. This is our work together!

When It flourishes, we have the Flourishing of your Natural State of Spiritual Enlightenment. Man’s entire quest, throughout all of human history, is the quest for the Truth about who he is.

All those who were inclined to seek an end to this suffering, to this confusion, to this perplexity that is human life, that has become human life...

So, throughout all of human history, those who have turned, those who have inclined towards this quest, towards this search, have been in this quest for Truth, in this quest for God.

This is the true search for Spirituality, for the encounter with something greater than that condition known to all of us: loneliness, boredom, annoyance, nuisance, violence, desires, fears, apparent external accomplishments, which do not internally create a condition of peace, of completeness, of satisfaction.

So, there is always this restlessness, this dissatisfaction, this lack of something. The Realization of the Truth about your Self is the Realization of the Truth about God. The point is that no expert, no technician, no book can give us That. We have to study ourselves; we have to understand this process.

The “I” process cannot be shown to us by anyone, by any expert, by any book.

We are the ones who have to see this, look inside ourselves, see this.

What we can do here, together, at this moment, is to share it with you, based on my experience in this inner work of Self-Realization. This happened until this Natural State was defined here, within a process taking 21 years, in this contact with my Master, with Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi.

And now I'm sharing it here with you, saying that Realization is possible, looking at What You are, but it is you who does that. You look at every thought, at every feeling, at every emotion, at every sensation present, and it is necessary for you to discover that there is no identity present in that experience – in the experience of thinking, in the experience of feeling, in the experience of perceiving the external world, in the experience of relating with the other, with life, with the world... realizing that there is no identity present in this.

In our relationships, we are capable of discovering the contradiction, this element of duality, this “I” with the other, this “I” with thought, this “I” with feeling, this “I” with emotion.

This duality… This is where reactivity is present, the reaction, the reaction of not liking, which sustains conflict, and the reaction of liking, which also sustains conflict.

You see, conflict – and here, conflict is this struggle, this contradiction – occurs because there is this sense of “I” present in this experience. This “like” is conflicting. It denotes desire, possession, attachment and therefore fear... in this “like.” In this “dislike”... In this “ I like you,” we have that. In this “I do not like you,” “me and you”... In this “not liking,” there is conflict, disagreement, discrepancy, separateness, segregation, rejection.

So, either you love me or you hate me. And in this so-called “love” or “hate,” the element of contradiction is always present, which is the “I” element, the ego. Our actions, because they are born from this background of psychological conditioning, from the response of this “I,” in the life of this “I” with the other, of this “I” with the world... This response is always a response of illusion, of ignorance, therefore of contradiction and suffering.

Our life has been anchored based on memory, remembrances, recollections. I don't have an adequate response to that instant, to that moment, to that encounter with you, a response free of attachment, desire and fear, because all that response, in that contact with you at that moment, comes from this background of psychological conditioning, this “I,” this “me,” this “like,” “dislike,” this “desire,” this “hate,” this “love”...

I don't know if this sounds confusing to you. The fact is that there is no Love in our relationships, because they are all centered on this “me,” on this “I,” on this ego-identity.

What is this “I,” this “me"? It’s this whole background of psychological conditioning, this idea about who I am, the image I have about who I am.

If I like the image I have of who you are, I like you; If I don't like that image of who you are, I don't like you.

And when this “like” is based on this dependence on mutual appreciation, on a relationship based on an image, which is a background of psychological conditioning present here and there, when this is present, the illusion is present, the conflict is present, the contradiction is present.

Nobody can help us to get rid of this condition. We have to learn to look at what we are here and now. Here, we're just sharing with you that it’s possible and how this, in a way, is simple in that understanding, though, in practice, it demands tremendous energy from each one of us – observing the thoughts, the images that arise in this contact, observing my demands, my needs, my desires, my expectations, everything projected within this relationship.

Therefore, to see this self-centeredness, this self-interest, this ego-centered activity of this “me” with which I am always confusing myself, identifying myself, realizing this is to get rid of the illusion of this ego, this “me.”

Only when that is absent is Love present, the Truth of Love present. This is possible when there is Self-awareness.

Meditation is this way of getting closer to ourselves – I am referring here to True Meditation, in a practical, experiential way. Looking at each thought that arises, each feeling that arises, each emotion that arises, perceiving the sense of an “I” present asking, demanding, expecting something, seeking something, within that egoic expectation... Perceiving this, when looking and seeing this identification, that present identity, and let go of that identity, let go of that false center, that false “me.”

So, it is possible to have this encounter with this Reality, which is the Divine Reality, which is the Reality of God. Then, the search for happiness ends, the search for peace, love, freedom ends, because That which is You, in your Being, reveals Itself, free of ego, free of this sense of “I,” free of this background of psychological conditioning, free of that image, free of the illusion of that present identity.

So, our purpose together here is to look at That which we are. Here, together, we can talk about it, go deeper into it, see what happens, look inside each one of us in this relationship with the other, perceive this illusory element, just perceive... We don't need to do anything, just be aware of it, conscious of it.

When you separate yourself to do something with what you see – and you separate when you believe you can change it – you are in an illusion. If there is envy in that relationship and you believe you can get rid of envy, you have already separated yourself from the experience. This separateness is the very illusion of an identity separating itself from the state of envy. This duality sustains the state itself.

When there is envy, it is only envy, there is no identity; when there is desire, it is only desire, there is no “someone” with desire; when there is fear, it is only fear, there is no “someone” afraid. That “someone” is the illusion of the ego. It appears to support the state of envy, fear, desire in this relationship.

Having the ability to approach it without separating, just staying with it here and now… There is only fear, there is only envy, there is only desire, there is only thought, there is only feeling, there is only emotion, there is no “someone” present to be apart. This requires tremendous energy of Consciousness, of Presence.

This is how we approach True Meditation in practice. We do not place a present identity in this experience, and when that happens, that energy itself – which we are calling envy, jealousy, desire, fear – undergoes a profound change, a profound transformation.

It is when the sense of “I” is no longer nurtured in that experience so that experience dissolves.

This is giving up the “I,” the ego.

Learning about yourself is only possible in that look, in that approach. So, in that way, we discover, in ourselves, what this “I” is.

The “I” is an idea, memory, envy, desire, fear, attachment, image, in this relationship with the other. When that “I” is seen, it is undone by that very Intelligence, by that very Consciousness, by that very Perception.

That Energy of Attention on that movement brings an end… that Energy itself brings an end to that sense of separateness, that “me” in the experience, so the experience dissolves, the egoic experience dissolves. And when the egoic experience dissolves, the “I” disappears.

In fact, with the disappearance of the “I,” this experience itself disappears.

This is no longer being fed, fed back by this unconsciousness, because you are bringing Attention to this moment.

This Attention is based on Self-awareness – this look at what we are here and now. Then, there comes this Energy of Mindfulness.

That Mindfulness dissolves that sense of separateness, that sense of duality between me and you, between me and this pain, between me and this sadness, between me and that envy, me and that fear, me and that desire. Notice what we are saying: you apply that Attention, that Presence, that Awareness, to any internal related to what is outside or to what is inside.

This is the way to approach fear, envy, anxiety, worry; this is the way to approach what we are here and now. So, there is a break to that illusion. If it can be seen, it can be undone. The problem is that we are always strengthening the sense of a present “I” because we are not aware of it when it appears, when it arises.

The habit of humans is to maintain this continuity, the continuity of the “I,” of the ego. This is due to this inattention.

When we place Attention on this movement, it shows itself, it reveals itself, and this very Presence, this very Consciousness, this very Energy of Attention undoes, explodes, makes the illusion of the “I,” of a present identity evaporate.

Then, this “I” explodes, this illusion of an identity is completely annulled here and now.

So, we are facing Life, facing Presence, facing Reality, which is the Divine Reality, which is the Reality of Being.

Spiritual Awakening, Spiritual Enlightenment, is the Recognition of your Divine, Essential Nature, which is Pure Being, Pure Consciousness. But now, in this moment, we are dealing with what is shown, with what is presented, and what is presented now is this sense of “I,” of ego, of “me,” of separateness, of duality. We put Attention into it, Presence into it – that is the direct work of Meditation, in a practical, experiential way.

So, understand this. We are together to look at what is here, and when you look at what is here, it vanishes, it disappears, because this is the illusion of a present identity that, when seen, is gone.

Therefore, Self-realization, Spiritual Awakening, is the Flourishing of that Divine Nature of yours, of that Essential Nature of yours.

This is the subject here on our channel. If this is something that makes sense to you, leave your “like” there, subscribe to the channel… I want to remind you: we have online meetings and also face-to-face meetings and also retreats, where we can work on this together. OK?

The invitation remains, and until the next meeting.

Who is God | The vision of Ramana Maharshi | Advaita | Non-Duality | Vedanta | Atma Vichara

Who is God? Recently, someone asked, “Who is your God?” So, that was the question. Let’s talk about that: who is God?

Notice how complicated this is. We usually ask someone, “Do you believe in God?” Everyone has an idea, a concept, and a belief about God. This means that, in fact, each one has a particular God. If we unite behind a common God, we form a group, and now we have our God, and there’s that other group over there with their God. How we disagree, how our ideas, beliefs, and concepts are different… Let’s understand this. After all, who is God?

“Let’s go there to hear a lecture, a sermon, a preaching, let’s get a book, let’s go to the Bible, to Bhagavad Gita, to Koran, to Upanishads to find This!” Will this be the way to approach the Truth about who God is?

In the next few minutes, we're going to work this out with you, and it’s not about agreeing or disagreeing with what we're saying. Maybe you already have a concept, a formed idea. Can we put aside, for a moment, this issue of belief and approach in a direct way the Truth of what God is? What is this nameless Reality we call God? Without form, to which we give a form and put this “Reality with form” in a little place that we call Heaven?

So, there is the Heaven for the Hindus, the Heaven for Christians, the Heaven for Buddhists, the Heaven for Muslims… After all, where is God? In which Heaven is He? First, this talk here is just an approach for you to look at it, and look with an open heart, free from any prejudice, prejudgment, or idea. This is a speech… not for us to agree or disagree, it’s for us to just follow along like we listen to a song when it’s being played. It’s not a speech to attack or defend – to attack or defend an idea. It’s just a question: where is the Truth about God, about this nameless “Thing”?

Human beings have been looking for this for millennia, looking for something called God, because their life is tedious, tiring, distressing, a very problematic life, and full of psychological, internal, emotional, and sentimental pain. Human beings have been looking for millennia for something outside this envy, this jealousy, this greed, this ignorance, which has been their life in their relationship with others, and in their relationship with themselves. So, they are looking for something, something called God. Where is This?

I want to challenge you, before asking where God is or who is God, first ask yourself this: “Where am I? Who I am?”

If we first find what is close, in that encounter we find what seems or appears to be far away. We have to start with what is closest, with what is nearby. It’s not asking where God is or who God is, but rather asking, “Where am I? Who am I?”

The Sages, those who Realized the Truth, are not those who believe in the Truth. But those who live the Truth are the Sages. It’s not theologians, theorists, not the ones who study the holy scriptures, the religious teachers... But the Sages, those who experience the Truth of God, tell us that the answer to this question lies within each one of us, in the very answer to the question “who am I?”

It’s here that the vision of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi is fascinating. He left us this as a legacy. When people came to him and asked about God, he used to say, “But do you know who you are? Why all this interest in God without first knowing who you are? After all, who are you?”

The Understanding of the Truth of What we are here and now is the Understanding of the Reality that God is.

This is the testimony of the Realized Beings. Those Who Realized Truth don’t talk about God, they talk about investigating the truth of what is not God. What is not God? That illusion. The Sages deal with illusion and investigate illusion because they know that when the illusion is seen and vanishes, the Reality of God, which is not hidden, not occult, paradoxically shows itself.

God is the ever-present Reality. What prevents us from having this contact with this Reality is the illusion of who we are. The Reality of your Being is the Reality of God.

We are here working with you from a non-theoretical, non-verbal viewpoint. Here, I want to say that it is possible to experience the Truth of your Being. And there comes a time when you find that the deeper you go into this Vision of What is You, the illusion vanishes and the Truth of God reveals itself. We can call it Consciousness, Presence, Being, Truth, the Unnamable, and the Indescribable – they are just names, just expressions, words, verbal expressions, words…

Here, it’s about the Reality of your Being, which is Love, Compassion, and Intelligence. This is present when there’s no longer a sense of separateness. The absence of the sense of separateness is the Reality of the Divine Presence.

We use an expression here for This, which is Indian – it’s called Advaita, Non-Duality. We use this expression a lot, because it’s famous and very well known, but we can dispense with these expressions. The fact is that there’s only one Reality present here and now: it is the Reality of Consciousness.

Dealing with the world, with the body, the mind, the other, life, with whatever is emerging here and now, at this instant, at this present moment, without the sense of separateness, is to be aware of the Truth of God, of what God is. God is the Reality of what appears; What is present here, which transcends all that is present here, the body and the mind.

This is something experiential, it’s not a theory, not a concept or belief… it’s an experience! When this experience is present, there is no longer this separateness created by beliefs, concepts, and ideas, sustained by illusion. There’s no “my God” and “your God,” we are before Reality. In this Reality, there’s no separateness, no division, and, therefore, no conflict, no dispute, no problem, there is no suffering.

There are some expressions we use on this channel, which are Indian expressions, which are well known, and, therefore, used here. One of them, as I said just now, is this expression “Non-Duality, Advaita.” This is straight from the Vedas, the Upanishads, and the Indian scriptures.

In the last part of the Vedas, we find Advaita Vedanta. And Vedanta addresses that issue, but what we have is a book. I want to invite you to live This. And how can we live This? How can we live? How can we have this vision of the Reality of what God is? By discovering the Truth about who we are.

Self-Awareness shows itself as the study of the Truth about who we are here and now, or the study of the truth about who we appear to be or present ourselves as being this here and now. What are we? We are envy, fear, jealousy, possession, desires, beliefs, superstitions, beliefs, we are miser, ambitious, bored, violent, aggressive… That’s what we are here and now; that’s what we seem to be in this illusory identity, in this illusory egoic identity.

Self-inquiry, Ramana called it Atma Vichara. The direct approach to self-observation, which is what sustains Self-Awareness, will show us that this is not the ultimate Truth of our Being, our Consciousness; this is egoic consciousness, our superficial being, our illusory identity.

Self-Awareness will show us that all the unhappiness present in our life consists of this ignorance – the ignorance of who we are – and when there is Self-Awareness, there is the discarding of the “I,” of the ego. This occurs when this duality, this “me and the other,” “me and life,” “me and the world,” “me and these beliefs,” “me and these feelings,” “me and these emotions…” When all this ends, something entirely new arises – a radical, profound change takes place in this structure, in this body and this mind: it’s the appearance of this Presence the Sages call Kundalini; it’s the Power of Consciousness. That is an Indian expression for this Power, this Presence, dormant within each one of us.

So, the Reality that is God is the Reality of your Being, which is Kundalini. This Energy Awakens and operates, works, and makes a change in this body-mind, then there is Spiritual Enlightenment, Spiritual Awakening, and the Truth of your Being. That’s the end of the sense of separateness and therefore the end of suffering.

Thus, What is, is this Presence, this Consciousness, this Truth of God; that’s your Real Nature. This is not theoretical, not verbal, this can’t be found in books, in a lecture, in preaching, in a sermon; This is Realized when What is present is no longer the “I” – here is the Christ, the Buddha; here is God.

It’s not the Christ carpenter of Nazareth, it’s not Shakyamuni Buddha of 2500 years ago from India; it is the Consciousness of God in that form, in that Realized Being. Here, we are working with you and showing you that this is possible.

My Master, Ramana Maharshi, left this as a legacy. This approach to a Realized Being, as it happened in my case, is something possible for you. It is possible to Realize This in this life – the Realization of your Self.

What a Master, a Realized Being does or shows you is that it is possible to have this approach. What he does is just telling you that you can look at This and acknowledge This within yourself, then What Truth is, is revealed, which is the Divine Truth. Ok?

If that’s something that makes sense to you, that’s what we're working on here on this channel: the Revelation of who You are, the Revelation of who God is!

If this makes sense to you, leave your “like,” subscribe to the channel... and I always leave it here, reminding you this: we have online and face-to-face meetings and also retreats to work on this together. If that makes sense to you, here’s the invitation, and see you next meeting. Ok?

See you next!

The Power of Now Eckhart Tolle | Advaita Vedanta | Non-Duality | The psychological time

"The Power of Now.” Eckhart Tolle beautifully addresses this subject. The Power of Now…

I want to go into a very interesting aspect of this subject, on the Beauty of Which is revealed here and now. The Beauty of What is revealed here and now, the only Reality present is What is here and now. Whatever is showing up right now is the one Reality.

Notice that we have an internal movement of thoughts that are memories, feelings linked to those memories, and emotions linked to those memories. And what are these memories? Basically, the existence of the “I.” The “I” is this identity forged by thought-feeling. We mistake ourselves, we identify ourselves with this identity. This identity is the one that presents itself here, always at this moment, as being real. And the interesting thing I want to show you about the Reality of Life, at this instant, right now, is that It doesn't carry that identity.

All the problems you have in your life are present because of this illusory identity here and now in this experience. There’s no such thing as “me and this experience.” The whole Life is here and now. There’s no past, no future, and no present in Life; there’s only Life!

Whatever appears, happens, or stops happening... If it stops happening: any memory about that is the past; happening: any idea about that is the present; and expecting to happen or happening soon: it is the future. The idea about that is thought.

So, thought is what carries the past, the present, and the future. You are Consciousness, You are Life. Thus, whatever is taking place here is just the Experiencing, there is no “me” experiencing this. Then, what is the relationship between this Now and Advaita Vedanta? In Advaita, the approach is to Non-Duality. This Non-Duality is exactly Life, what is here, the unfolding of Life as It is, pure Experiencing, it is what is present; there’s no experiencer.

We can use expressions like “Advaita,” which means “Non-Duality,” and we can use expressions like “the Now,” or “Life,” “Presence,” “Consciousness,” “God,” or expressions like “the Experiencing,” “Non-Duality.” And none of those expressions actually make This clear, and This is so clear that we don't even need any of those expressions. The fact is that there’s no “someone” present in this Experiencing.

At this instant, there’s the speaking, not “someone” speaking; there’s the listening, not “someone” listening; there’s the feeling, not “someone” feeling. And it’s very simple for us to see that. I'm going to show you right now the truth of what we're putting out.

When you are angry, at that instant of anger, there’s only anger. The idea of “someone” being angry is a thought that arises about the emotion, this feeling, this Experiencing. The idea creates separateness and the illusion of a duality between the Experiencing… the experiencer arises. So, we have the place of the experience. What was kept became an experience. And at the moment the idea of a present “I” arises within the Experiencing, then the experiencer arises – this is duality, this is the illusion of the ego mind.

There is only the Experiencing. I want to invite you to live in Experiencing. Hence, I’ll now replace the word “Now,” as used by Eckhart Tolle, with the word “Experiencing.”

It takes a high sensitivity, a high intelligence, and a deep renunciation of illusion. Direct contact with the Truth of What is here and now, is the Experiencing. So, I want to invite you to live in the Experiencing. A thought arises… there’s no thinker. It’s always a few seconds later that it appears, when this thought, this “someone”, this “I” arises to like or not like the thought. Then duality arises.

An emotion arises and, a few seconds later, an “I” appears to reject that emotion, because it’s an emotion of pain that doesn’t fulfill this “I.” When it’s an emotion of pleasure, this “I” identifies with that emotion – here is duality. This is how we have lived our lives: within this principle of duality.

I want to invite you to the Experiencing, to the pure Experiencing. A thought arises… don't give identity to that thought. The seduction is that there’ll be, at that moment, it’ll happen, at that moment, there’ll be, at that moment, the arising of an identity to be mistaken for the thought, rejecting that thought or identifying with it.

We’ve lived our lives this way. Then, we carry this sense of an “I” thinking, of an “I” talking… There’s only the speaking! When speaking, don’t put an identity. Try this sometime. It is the illusion of identity present in the speech that creates separateness between the speech and the idea of “someone” in the speech. So, there’s no spontaneity, no naturalness, no Experiencing. As this is not present, there’s no Intelligence in speaking.

Your speech, in general, is born from the thought coming from memory, and with an “I” behind it having the intention, the volition, the will. That’s why we're talking nonsense all the time. We talk about things that the ego itself, the “I,” later, regrets having said – but ego itself said that! – as we are constantly in this impulse of a present identity talking, thinking, feeling, doing.

I want to invite you to the Experiencing, to the pure Experiencing. This Experiencing – only the Experiencing – is possible when the sense of “I” isn’t there. Then, the experiencer, the thinker, the doer, doesn’t arise. There’s an entirely new action: the action of Intelligence, Sensitivity, Consciousness, the action of Love. It’s not something from the past, it’s something flourishing at this instant, at this present moment, in this Experiencing, the pure Experiencing.

So, life carries an extraordinary and indescribable beauty when the “I” is not present, when the ego sense is not present. You must work this through what here on the channel I’ve put as the true vision of Self-Awareness, the result of this Self-Awareness of Truth, the Truth of Self-Awareness; not what psychology calls self-knowledge, philosophy calls self-knowledge… Some speakers use that expression, proponents of self-help… Absolutely not! What the books say, it’s not that. We put this expression differently.

True Self-Awareness brings you closer to True Meditation. This True Meditation is present when there is the breaking of this principle of separateness, of duality. When the “I” is not present, there is no longer the thought that represents the past, present, and future.

The human being, living in ego-identity, in this psychological condition of emotional disorder, of thoughts, feelings, emotions, actions – actions, in turn, egocentric, involved with self-interest, with ambition, with envy, with desire, with fear… All this is present because of this egoic consciousness.

When there is an approach to Meditation, to the True Practical Meditation – we have a playlist here on the channel about this and another playlist about True Self-Awareness – when this is present, there is a break in this sense of separateness, this sense of duality, so there is a breaking of the illusion of psychological time. The psychological time is thought, it is the thought of what has happened, what is happening, and what will happen.

Life is what It is, here and now. Without the psychological time, there is only the Experiencing, the pure Experiencing. In this pure Experiencing, Life reveals itself. Yes, It reveals Itself in speaking, in responding to the challenges of the present moment. It also reveals Itself in external achievements... Nothing stops in this Experiencing. Everything is here and now, in this Experiencing, happening, but without the illusion of an “I” present.

Notice how important this is. Human beings have ideas about how to be happy, to achieve happiness, to find peace, love, the right job, how to have a harmonious, happy external life, in relationships with people, with work, with family, with themselves... And all these ideals, all these projects, are far from the Reality of Experiencing, from this Supreme Intelligence, this Consciousness, which is the Presence of God, because this is all ideological, it’s based on the ego mind and its projects.

You don't need any of these ego mind projects for the Realization of True Happiness, True Love, and True Prosperity. People go crazy when they hear the expression or make use of the expression “the Secret” – “what is the Secret?” “What is ‘The Secret’?” They go crazy about it. They want to discover the formula for what they call happiness, which, in fact, is a mere projection of external achievements, in materiality, in material things.

The human being confuses external achievements with happiness. And they think they need these dreams, projects, imaginations, and photographs glued to the fridge. They have to imagine, to use the power of the mind, all that sort of thing. And here I say: the Experiencing is contact with the Ultimate Reality of your Being, which is God, the Ultimate Source of Bliss, Happiness, and Completeness, and that goes far beyond any external accomplishment, any material achievement.

The Realization of the Truth of God, the Truth of your Being, the Reality of this Experiencing, of Being-Experiencing, reveals everything. Everything that is necessary, extraordinary, wonderful in your life is the Realization of God, the Supreme source, of all Abundance, all Prosperity, all Love, Peace, Freedom, of everything!

So, our job here on this channel is to invite you to live the Experiencing, the Now of Experiencing. Then, that Silence, that Presence, What is nameless, which some people call God, Consciousness, Being, Presence, the Now, is revealed. Here, I also call this moment “the Experiencing”. In India, This is also called Kundalini. We have a playlist here talking about the Awakening of this Experiencing, which is the Kundalini Awakening. We have a playlist here on our channel, you can investigate this.

Therefore, this is the subject we deal with here on the channel. If this is something that makes sense to you, leave your “like,” and subscribe to the channel... Reminder: we have online meetings and also retreats, and we can work on this together. Ok?

See you next meeting.

Satsang and contradiction. Egocentrism, ego identity. Advaita. Inner dissatisfaction. Non-duality

Very good! “Satsang and the contradiction” is our subject here with you.

We are in contradiction, we live in contradiction, there is an internal contradiction within each of us. We want to be different from who we are, but look what a curious thing happens here: we don't really know who we are, and yet we want to be different from who we are.

Notice what we are saying to you. There is dissatisfaction within a human being. He is not happy, he is not happy with what is presented to him, with what is shown to him, with what, at this moment, seems to be or shows itself to be. He’s not happy with himself. Human beings are not happy. They have moments of satisfaction, moments of pleasure, moments of fulfillment. They have moments of joy, moments of peace, moments of love, but they remain dissatisfied with themselves, with how they present themselves, to themselves, and also to the world, to others.

We live with an inner dissatisfaction that, no matter how much you accomplish things, you still feel unhappy and dissatisfied. So, there is this continuous search or pursuit of something to be happy about: “How to be happy, how to find happiness, how to find peace, how to find freedom, so that the end of this suffering of anxiety, depression, this existential emptiness happens?”

So, there is a state of contradiction. It is in this state that the human being has lived. The human being is living within this frame, this state. And here, this meeting is called Satsang. Satsang is a Sanskrit word for “encounter with Truth.” The wonderful thing about this expression is that it hides nothing – it is the encounter with the Truth of That which is here and now.

Humans live idealizing something different from what is here, without even realizing what is present here and now – this is the psychological condition in each of us. The mind lives in a state of restlessness, dissatisfaction, conflict, loneliness, boredom, suffering, contradiction. So, we want to explain the reason for this contradiction.

You show yourself here and now dissatisfied, carrying this sense of lacking something, in this search for something out of this common condition, because your psychological state, your mental state, is one of disorder, conflict, and suffering. So, you have moments of temporary fulfillment, moments of temporary pleasure, moments of temporary satisfaction, but there is a dissatisfaction in you, there is a constant search for fulfillment to fill you in an eternal way. So, there is this ideal of happiness for this “I,” for this “me.”

We, here, are offering you, in these meetings, in this channel, the possibility of the Recognition of the Truth of That which is You, not of what you seem to be; which, by the way, you are unhappy about. You show signs in yourself of unhappiness; it’s how you see yourself in the relationship with the other, with the world and with yourself.

These moments of dissatisfaction, of unhappiness, of lack and of suffering… you've been trying throughout your life to fill it, to diminish it, to find a solution to it, and yet, over the years, you've discovered that there is actually no complete, final, permanent solution to all of this.

Fear is something that haunts us, sadness is something that haunts us, disappointment, frustration, these different names we have given to these pathologies of contradiction, of conflict that we bring, of suffering that we bring, and none of this is resolved. And this is how you see yourself; this is how you show yourself, and this is how we are. May we discover the Truth beyond who we are or who we present ourselves to be here and now in this moment? May we discover our Real Nature, our True Nature?

What in us that shows itself here… We show ourselves, here, dissatisfied; it’s how we are. That is what is seeking to be different, to accomplish something different, to achieve something different, to become something different. It is not the Truth of your Being what you show yourself, what you, here, present yourself, in this life, in this world.

So, Spiritual Enlightenment, the Awakening of Consciousness, is the Awakening of your Real Nature, which is your Being. It’s not how you show yourself, it’s not how you present yourself, it’s not how we are; it is the Truth which is the Truth of God, which is the Truth of Intelligence, which is the Truth of Consciousness.

So, the Revelation of This is the end of what we show ourselves to be as people, in this ego-identity, in this pattern of behavior, in this egocentrism…

Here, with you, we are working on the importance of looking at what we are, the value of looking at what we are, as we are now. We're not going to get away from it, we're not going to escape it; we will look at this boredom, this loneliness, this aggression, this violence, this fear, this desire, this ambition to become, this tendency to escape from these internal states of pain and suffering.

Here, I want to invite you to look at it, just look at it, without getting confused with what appears – because this is what is shown here, this is what it is, this is how we are, this is how we present ourselves; this is how we are being with ourselves, with the world, with others – to see this sense of the present “I” supporting this model. It is in this Self-awareness that we have the basis for Wisdom, the basis for the Awakening of Consciousness, the Awakening of Intelligence, which is the Awakening of Liberation, of the Freedom from this egoic condition.

So, when there is Self-awareness, you have an approach, which is the approach of looking at what is here and now, without any rejection, without any escape, without any model already planned for a solution for this, without any ideal, without any project… To look at it as it appears here and now. This look shows this sense of separateness, it shows this sense of duality: “me and what is now here.”

This duality, this sense of separateness, is called in India dvaita. Dvaita is this duality, it is “me and this experience,” “me and this feeling,” “me and fear,” “me and anger,” “ me and envy,” “me and desire,” “me and ambition.” That condition is the condition of egocentrism, it is the condition of ego-identity, it is the condition of dvaita, the condition of duality.

Apart that, we have something new, which is no longer of dvaita, it is Advaita, it is Non-Duality, Non-Separation, You in your Natural State of Being-Consciousness, Awakened, who Realized God in this life – they call It Spiritual Enlightenment.

Our work here, in this channel, as well as in face-to-face meetings, online meetings and retreats, is to work on that with those who approach, for the Awakening of your Real Nature, which is this Intelligence, which is this Consciousness. This is the Awakening of Consciousness. This is Spiritual Enlightenment. This is the end of this contradiction, the end of fear, the end of desire, the end of dissatisfaction, the end of ambition and envy, anxiety and depression, the end of unhappiness. It only occurs when the Flourishing of your True Nature, which is dormant there, in this body-mind, takes place.

This Real Nature of yours is Consciousness – some call it Kundalini.

When this Kundalini Awakening takes place, which is the Awakening of this Consciousness, the end of this contradiction takes place. Then, in the Kundalini Awakening, there is the end of the egoic contradiction, of the sense of separateness. Therefore, the Kundalini Awakening is the Flourishing of Advaita, of Non-Duality, of Non-Separation. Non-Separation is the Reality of your Being with Life, because when there is no separation between That which is You and all Existence, and all Manifestation, the world, the other and God, when there is no longer that duality, what is present is Love, it is Peace and Real Happiness.

This is the subject that we work with, within this channel. This is the Real Revelation of your own Being, it is the Real Revelation of your True Nature. That’s what we have in this space, in these meetings called Satsang. OK?

If this is something that makes sense to you, here’s the invitation. Leave your “like,” subscribe to the channel... Reminder: we have online and face-to-face meetings, as we mentioned just now, and here’s the opportunity.

See you soon in the next meeting.
