Joel Goldsmith: mystic and metaphysician. The teachings of Joel Goldsmith | Restlessness, an approach

Very good! We want to talk to you about the importance of transformation, the importance of change. We need a profound transformation in our lives, a profound change in our lives, and this change is not external. Externally you may feel quite comfortable, without any urgent need for a transformation or a change in your external life, but here I am referring to this psychological life, this inner life.

We need a profound change in our minds because we don't know the Truth about who we are. If you've found this Channel, if you're approaching a meeting like this right now, it’s because you're looking for something. Life as it is, although relatively satisfying externally, internally there is restlessness, and that’s what we're talking about here.

We need a transformation, I repeat, a profound change in our minds. And the way to accomplish this is through an approach to freedom. We need this freedom to look at what is going on inside us, at this whole thought-feeling process that has placed us within this condition of internal dissatisfaction, which has led us towards this search. That quest is actually the quest for Happiness, the quest for Love, the quest for Peace.

So externally – apparently – everything is fine, but internally the human being is dissatisfied. And the way that we have to approach the Truth about who we are… it requires a transformation, a change in our minds. That freedom to approach this is fundamental.

Here, we want to propose to you the real possibility of a change, of a transformation, which will represent a Recognition of the Truth about who You are. This requires, I repeat, this freedom to approach That which we are. The effective way for this to occur, the precise way for this to occur, the perfect way for this to occur, is through Meditation.

So, I want to work with you in the next few minutes here on Meditation: what Meditation means, what it represents, what role it can play in our lives – here I mean internally, psychologically. This is what will favor this transformation, this change. And why? Because Meditation is an emptying of all that psychological content.

We need this emptying of this content. We have a restless mind, very, very busy, worried, carrying sadness, anxiety, frustrations, fears... There is an internal chatter within each one of us. We bring this existential void, which represents an internal pain that we don't know how to deal with. We have the pain of loneliness, depression, all forms of internal, psychological complications, all forms of psychological suffering. All of this is present because of an internal background of psychological conditioning that we have, that we bring, that we demonstrate in our life, in our living.

So, this freedom to approach ourselves is something that becomes possible when there is this True Meditation – a precise, surgical way of approaching Self-awareness. Meditation gives you the condition to make this change through Self-awareness. So, we have, in Meditation, the basis for Self-awareness; and we have, in Self-awareness, the basis for Meditation. We never separate Meditation from Self-awareness, and this does not separate from this transformation that is necessary in our lives.

But what is this subject that we are discussing here with you? We are dealing with the approach of the Awakening of Consciousness, Spiritual Enlightenment, the Realization of your Being, the Conscious Union with God, in the language of Joel Goldsmith. All that is needed in our lives is Realization, an end to the illusion of separation. Oneness is What we have as the most important thing to Realize in this life – these are the words of Joel Goldsmith.

Joel Goldsmith was a mystic, a metaphysician, who shared, in his day, a teaching, showing his students the importance of contemplative meditation. Here, our language is a little different, but we are signaling to you the very same possibility of this Realization.

So, what we call True Meditation here is what, in daily life, day-by-day, you need to incorporate into your life: this freedom to deal with thoughts, feelings, emotions, sensations, experiences, without conflict, without putting yourself as “someone” wanting to alter, wanting to change, wanting to fix, wanting to solve things. This is what has sustained these internal contradictions, this internal suffering in us, and also all this external disorder in our lives.

So there is no such Completeness of Being. Even this apparent external order in our lives, when looked at closely, we realize that, internally, we are filled with fear in relation to external situations getting out of control, this is because of this ego, this “me,” this “I.” If it is present, there is no such Conscious Union with God, because the Conscious Union with God is the Presence of this Consciousness and, when It is present, everything is in its place, everything is seen in its place, everything assumes the place it needs to assume, or everything is already in place, because the sense of separation, the sense of duality – separation between “I” and God – is not present. According to Joel Goldsmith, this is Christ Consciousness, this is God Consciousness, making the crooked straight.

We want to invite you here, on this Channel, in these meetings, to demonstrate, in practice, the teachings of Christ. It is not about studying the teachings of Joel Goldsmith, as the vast majority believe they need to do, intellectually. No! It is not intellectually that you study the teachings of Joel Goldsmith. When you study yourself, when you see that element of contradiction and conflict, of separateness, which is the “I,” which is the ego, in daily experience, in daily living, here and now, moment by moment... Studying yourself is what is needed, and to study yourself is to incorporate the teachings of Christ into your life.

The Truth about your Being, when It reveals itself, you are no longer in theory, you are no longer in concepts, you are experiencing the True Meditation in practice in your life – we have a playlist here on the Channel dealing with this – and True Meditation in practice is the evidence of Meditation in life, the contemplative meditation.

We are, here, signaling to you the Truth that your Being is Christ, is Real Consciousness, Happiness, and Love. This is within the teachings of the Infinite Way and Maha Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Ramana Maharshi’s approach to the Direct Path.

So, the language is different, the forms of expression are different, but all of this points to the Divine Reality, to the Reality of your Being, to the Truth of your Essential Nature, which is Spiritual Enlightenment, which is God Realization.

So our work together is to look at that, then that shift takes place, that inner transformation takes place. This Realization of your Being is the Realization of God, it is the Truth of “I and the Father Are One,” within the Gospel of Christ and the great emphasis given to it by Joel Goldsmith. So, this is the subject we deal with here.

The Truth about you is revealed when the sense of “I” is not present, and This is present when your Natural State of Pure Consciousness settles down, which is that Conscious Union with God, which is the Truth of your Being. This is Spiritual Enlightenment, This is Spiritual Awakening.

The Truth of That which is You is all Supply, is all Love, is all Presence, is all Truth, is all Freedom, is all Fullness, is all God’s Completeness. So, the emptying of this whole sense of egoic identity and the emptying of that sense of separate identity occur when this whole movement of memory, of psychological conditioning, of egoic consciousness, of mental consciousness, falls apart.

The work of Meditation, of True Meditation, is the work of emptying all this psychological content, this psychological content of cultural conditioning, of humanistic conditioning, of programming, something merely hypnotic – the different beliefs, the different programs, the different internal programs that were bequeathed to us, that were given to us and that we keep in ourselves, in that background of psychological conditioning, what I have called psychological memory.

The emptying of that content, the ending of all that inner content, is the unfolding, the arising, the appearance, the flourishing of Something entirely new. And when It reveals itself, that Truth, which is the Truth of God, the Infinite Invisible, in Joel Goldsmith’s expression, that Natural Divine State of Being, as I have called it, Being-Consciousness-Bliss, It shows itself to be the Nature of the Truth about You.

See what we are putting here. The human being is living below the possibility of his Being. He is living in alienation from his Real Identity, from his Divine Identity. Until today, we are confusing ourselves with the illusion of an identity. Yes, the illusion of an identity! We believe in individuality, that we are individuals, and individuals separate from one another. That sense of individuality in us is something completely illusory, completely false. This is the result of psychological, cultural and human conditioning.

The movement of thought in us, with all these diverse beliefs, these ideas, these concepts, these memories, these remembrances, is the result of a collective view of the egoic mind, the separatist mind, the mind living in duality, separating life, people, and the world in the illusion of a present “thinker” thinking, of a present “experiencer” experiencing, of a present “someone” being a separate entity. This sense of separation from “I” is something completely illusory, sustaining the illusion of that individuality.

Here, the invitation is for the Recognition of your Essential Nature, which is the Nature of God. Only then is the Reality of your Being present. True Individuality is the Nature of God, the Nature of Real Consciousness, it is the Truth of the Infinite Invisible by Joel Goldsmith. That’s what we're working on with you in these meetings. Thus, this is the subject that is dealt with here on the Channel.

If this is something that makes sense to you, leave your “like” and subscribe to the Channel… I want to remind you: we have online and face-to-face meetings, and also retreats, where we are working on the possibility of this Realization in this life. OK?

And there’s the message; and there is the invitation. Thanks for the meeting and see you soon.
