Advaita, Non-Duality | The egocentrism | The cause of all problems | Self-awareness

Alright!

All we have presented on this channel may seem challenging. Because we’re talking about something very, very new for many of you. We're talking about the end of this confusion.

You see, we are very complicated creatures, full of problems. Notice that our human life, despite all this so-called “intelligence,” has become a problem. We have social, economic, political, religious, philosophical and internal problems and psychological problems. So, our life has become very complex and complicated.

So, what we are putting here for you, within this channel, becomes challenging. We’re talking about the possibility that we may see an end to problems. It’s interesting: it’s not a matter of solving problems, but of understanding their end.

So, we’re going to work, in these few minutes here, with you, showing that a Life in Love, Peace, Freedom, and Happiness is possible. This is present when there’s no problem. A problem represents unhappiness. The internal, psychological, conflicting, distressing, suffering and problematic states we have are states of unhappiness. So, a Life in Love, Freedom, Joy, and Peace is not possible if there’s no Happiness. It means the end to these problems.

The problems we have in social, political, religious, and philosophical order, in addition to those in our relationships with each other, all of them basically rest on a single basic problem, which is the problem of the human being. There’s no society, no politics, no religion, no philosophy, and no economic problems without human beings. We, as human beings, are the basis of all the problems in our lives, in different areas in our lives.

Basically, the problem stems from this psychological confusion within us. So, if we want to get closer to the end of problems, we have to basically solve this problem, which is: “Who am I?”

Instead, we want to solve different problems we have. However, these different problems only exist because this basic problem, which is this “me” in its confusion, disorder, and illusion is present.

Hence, we want to deal with problems, we want to solve them. We need to first sort out who we are and what the truth about this “me” is, because that “me” is the problem.

What I say, which is quite challenging, is that there’s only one problem, and that problem is you: as you see yourself, as you believe you are, as you mistake yourself for being, as you show yourself to be. The problem is this “me,” this “I,” this “you,” this egoic sense, present in us.

Thus, our work within this meeting, within this space – which also occurs in online and face-to-face meetings – is to investigate the illusory, complicated, conflicting, unsolved nature of this “I,” of this “you,” of this “me.” Then, it’s possible to approach life – and this is where we are faced with the great challenge… it’s possible to approach life without this attitude, this self-centered position, without the egocentrism.

It’s always the sense of a present “I” looking at the world from this false center, interpreting, judging, evaluating, demanding, requesting, asking for something from it and therefore producing problems, cultivating problems, and increasing problems.

So, there’s no Love, no Peace, no Truth, there is no Happiness in our lives, because “my relationship with the wife,” your relationship with the husband, with the family, with the business, with social issues, with the outside world starts from a completely false principle: the principle that you are “somebody,” you are a “person.”

There’s this sense of separateness between you and that given experience. Then, the sense of ego is centered, demanding, prejudiced, vain, proud, envious, ambitious, and aggressive. This “I,” this “me,” this ego... is arrogant, self-centered, and self-interested. It lives its various self-interests, and everything has to revolve around what it wants, seeks, and desires. Thus, our relationship with the external, with the world, is always conflicting, because, basically, you are the problem, the ego is the problem, and the “I” is the problem.

So, if we want to solve the world’s problems, on what basis are we going to do it if this “I” is centered on itself and its various self-interests? Therefore, it’s essential to abandon this illusion, the illusion of an identity present in this experience, centered on itself. This is possible through Self-awareness.

When we come into direct contact with what we are here and now, we perceive envy, desire, and fear, we perceive this self-centeredness, this self-interest; we perceive this ambition, this envy, this pain, this neediness, this search for psychological fulfillment in achievements. So, we come into direct contact with this ego, with this positioning of separation, separateness, of reaction to Life, of struggle against what is here and now. Then, we come into direct contact with the cause, the reason and the basis of all problems, which is the “me,” the ego.

Then, these meetings become something challenging, because you need to get closer to yourself and look. We talk about love for God, love for the family, love for the country, love for... However, we are living full of problems concerning, indeed, all of this, because our vision is based on a misunderstanding: the illusion of an identity present... and in that psychological conditioning, the egoic consciousness, which is this mental consciousness, what prevails is this whole pattern, which is the pattern of the culture, of humanity, which is the pattern of the human being, who for millennia has been living in conflicts, dilemmas, problems, because they have been living selfishly, in this self-centeredness.

So, in that contact, through Self-awareness, you perceive in yourself... Just that look deeply interested in investigating the illusory nature of this “me,” this “I"… becomes the basis for the end of all this.

Then, we’re going straight to the heart of all problems. The heart of all problems is the ego, the “I,” that “me.” If you don't solve the question “who am I?”, this basic problem, if you don't know the Truth about yourself, if you haven't studied it, approached it, by Self-awareness, and haven't solved it, problems will continue.

When you realize Divine Truth, when you realize the Truth of your Being, problems disappear. Here, it’s not about solving problems, but rather perceiving the illusion of problems. When the sense of “I” is not present, problems are not present; when the sense of ego is not present, there’s no conflict, no struggle, and no problems.

Thus, is it something challenging? Yes, it is a challenging thing to live in Love, Peace, and Freedom, in this Consciousness of God, in this Oneness, in this Non-Separateness. In your Natural State, what prevails is Truth, and everything is in place when Truth is present. Everything human beings look for, through their struggles, desires, ambitions, yearnings, and longings, what makes them aggressive, violent, possessive, dominating, and problem maker, is because of this ego... what human beings are looking for is already present here, in What they are, as Consciousness, without going outside, without attacking, without violating, without causing problems.

You realize your Being and you realize Happiness, Abundance, Prosperity, Love, Peace, the Truth of God, What You are. What You are is Being-Consciousness-Bliss — your Real Consciousness, not this egoic or mental consciousness.

So, our subject is the Realization of your Being, God Realization, and your State of Non-Separateness. This is called Advaita, Non-Separation, Non-Duality. There’s no “I and the world,” there is no “I and the other,” there is no “I” with its conflicts, there is no “I"! There’s only this Reality, which is Consciousness, God, which is Your Life. Life, Consciousness, God, Being, Presence, and Happiness is synonymous, and This is what Truth declares, experientially, when It establishes itself in this body and mind. Ok?

This is the subject we are dealing with on this channel! If this makes sense to you, if this represents something to you, we're working on it here together.

Leave your “like,” and subscribe to the channel... I want to remind you: we have online meetings, face-to-face meetings and also retreats, so we can work on this together! Ok? If this makes sense, see you next meeting.
