Our subject is “thought and time.” We are facing a subject I consider extremely important for all of us here within this channel.
Our meetings are to show you the possibility of realizing the Truth of your Being in this life, the Truth of who you are.
The idea of being someone, living inside the body, with a story, is a concept and a belief. Here, I refer to the Reality of your Being, What You truly are. And we have to understand this matter of thought and time since our life revolves around thought and time.
Notice what we put here for you. Since we were little, what we have most intimate within us is this process of thought. This is never separate from each one of us. Ever since we were little, we think, and thoughts are running through our heads. That’s how we feel: the thought inside the head, circulating.
We live in ideas, for ideas, we move by ideas. Ideas tell us things about this story we say is ours. Your name is a thought within you, your parents’ names are thoughts within you, and the mental picture of your relatives is thought within you. Right now, if I ask you where you live, you will only get one answer, and that answer will be thought in you.
So, there’s nothing more intimate than thought, it’s in everything in our lives; it’s thought and time. When were you born? How old are you? Where did you spend last year’s vacation? What time are you going to have lunch? What did you eat for breakfast?
Note that time is everywhere, the notion of time… What did you do yesterday? What will you do tomorrow? What do you expect? Notice, time is in our lives all the time. Then, we have thought and time. But, after all, what is thought, and what is time?
Your age is a report of time; your story is a report of thought and time. Another curious thing is that time and thought cannot be separated. So, our life is made up of time and thought – what we call life.
When you dream at night, thought is there and time is there. Now here, in the vigil state, thought is present and time is present.
I want to tell you something: you need to approach and find out experientially, non-theoretically, non-verbally, non-intellectually... not verbally, not intellectually, not theoretically but rather experientially. I want to tell you that thought is time and time is thought. All you have to say is a time report and a thought report. Every thought describes what is within time. Our life is the result of thought, which is the result of time.
In this speech here, for example, we use the Portuguese language. If you don't understand Portuguese, in this video we have English subtitles. So, with English, it’s possible to understand this speech. It takes place here in Portuguese and it’s translated into English, subtitled in English. This speech is born from the knowledge of words in Portuguese and this knowledge of the English language makes it easier for you to understand this speech, which is here in Portuguese.
So, notice: thought is time because thought is knowledge, and knowledge is the result of memory. Knowledge is memory and memory is time. So, thought is knowledge, knowledge is memory, and memory is time.
You take a certain amount of time to learn a language because that’s part of the time. Knowledge is part of the time. Our “person’s” story – which we believe we are – is time, thought, story, memory, and remembrance, which is time.
After all, is it possible for us to realize the Understanding of the Truth outside of time? Because What is Real is not established in the known. That’s the challenge: to discover Truth experientially, in practice, not intellectually, but rather the Reality of your Being, which is not in time, not part of memory, not part of thought.
The body is part of thought. Your nose is a memory: it’s the same nose as your grandfather, your great-grandfather, so your nose is part of time, which is thought, it’s within a story. The objects we see around us were all built by thought, so they are all part of time because they were all born of knowledge.
So notice, knowledge, thought, time, and memory – this constitutes our life. But is this our life? The question here is: who are you? Are you the body, this set of thoughts, memories, and remembrances? Cells are full of memories and remembrances, which are the result of time. Everything in this world is an appearance that disappears, hence, it’s part of time, it’s within time. Is there something beyond time, beyond memory, beyond knowledge?
The Realization of the Truth about your Being, Spiritual Enlightenment, and the Awakening of Consciousness, shows you the Truth You are, as Pure Consciousness, here and now. This is out of time. A life free of time is a life free from the limitation of thought, knowledge, and memory and therefore from change. Everything that is part of time is changing, therefore it has no permanence, it has no Reality, it’s not Real; it’s “real” only in time.
Here, we’re pointing You to the Truth of Your Being, which is Consciousness, out of time. The Divine Reality, the Reality of God, the Reality of your Being is timeless. It’s outside of time and space, so it’s timeless and non-spatial. The Truth is What shows itself here and now, there’s no other Reality. The only Reality present is the Truth of God. So, all we are living, experiencing, living, or going through, happens only in time; it’s not the Truth, and it’s not the Reality.
A Free Life is a Life that is timeless, non-spatial, free from time and therefore free from successions of change; free from past, present, and future; free from thought, which is time; free of time, which is thought. So, the Truth about your Being, the Truth of your Divine Nature, your Essential Nature, is Love, Peace, Freedom, and Happiness, is God. This is now!
Is it possible to have the brain attending to matters of thought and time, but without mistaking oneself for, without getting tangled up, and without sustaining an illusory identity in this “thought and time” experience? Is this possible? In other words, is it possible to live free of the ego? Because that ego is that sense of an “I” present in that “time-thought” experience.
That ego is the one that lived yesterday, is living today and moving towards tomorrow. All the ideas inside your head – notice this – are part of thought and time, therefore, they are part of… This is all part of this egoic identity. It’s not your Being! It’s what thought says you are.
So, for example, we have a thought happening in us and, when it happens, it tells us we are thinking this thought: this is not true, it’s not like that. Thought doesn’t happen because you create it or produce it. There’s no “you” as the thinker of that thought.
Notice that thought appears, but there’s no “you” producing the thought. If you could produce thoughts, you wouldn't produce thoughts that you don’t like, that make you suffer, which bring you the past and produce anxiety, sadness, anguish, and regret. They come from the past and produce the future, creating anxiety. They come from the past and in the present cause regret for the past. Thought appears, you don't make it appear, don't produce it.
Thus, there’s an illusion. Thought produces the illusion of a thinker, of someone present, this “me,” this “I,” this ego, this identity producing that. And of course, when thought creates this illusion, it creates the illusion of an “I,” a “me,” an ego. It’s only when the ego exists: when thought appears and you are identified with thought, you mistake yourself for the thought. You create and sustain an identity when thought appears, then the sense of ego appears.
Thus, we are living psychologically, internally, in this condition – what I’ve called psychological conditioning – in this trust, in this belief of a present identity, which is living today, lived yesterday and will live tomorrow; which accomplished something in the past, is accomplishing something now, and will accomplish something tomorrow.
So, for this “me,” this “I,” this ego, there’s the past, the present, and the future. Notice: all this is being produced by thought. Thought is the cause of this, it’s the “truth” present in that experience, and thought is time, and thought is knowledge, which is memory, remembrance, past and has nothing to do with Reality.
The sense of a present “I,” a present ego, is an illusion produced by thought. Are we together? Is it possible to get rid of this illusion, the illusion of being here as someone, someone who came from the past, who is here in the present and walks towards the future? Can we discover Life here and now, free from the sense of a present “I,” since this “I,” this ego, this sense of identity, is nothing more than memory, thought, recollection, and history that thought constructs? Is it possible to get rid of this or do we need to continue like this? Do we necessarily need to continue this way? Do we have to continue this way?
The question for you is: can we get rid of this sense of “someone” present in this experience since this illusion is a production of thought alone, which is memory, knowledge, and the illusion of time? The Realization of your Being, Spiritual Enlightenment, is the end of the illusion of the sense of “someone” present.
So, the invitation to Spiritual Awakening, to Spiritual Enlightenment, is the invitation to Happiness, Love, Peace, Freedom, to the Awareness of the Truth that You, as Consciousness, were never born and therefore cannot die. Only the thought, the body, and the story appear, while You remain as this timeless Presence, here and now. In this Consciousness, the body appears, thought appears, the emotions, feelings, experiences, time, thought… all of these are appearances in the Truth of your Being.
Therefore, this is the subject we address here on the channel. If this is something that makes sense to you, if there’s something “burning” inside you for this encounter with the Truth, beyond this dream, this dream… I invite you. We have face-to-face meetings and retreats, in addition to these videos here on the channel. So, subscribe to the channel, leave your “like” and let’s work together. Ok?
See you next meeting!
