Very good!
All that we are exploring together here within the channel, on this channel, is the Truth of who You are. Yes, that’s right: the Truth about who You are. You don't know the Truth about yourself.
What is the Reality of your Being? What is the Reality of your True Nature?
We don't have that.
Because our life consists of a mental life, a life that is based on thought, ideas, beliefs and conclusions that thought has formulated. So, we don't know what Freedom is – Freedom of your Being, Freedom of our Essential Nature.
The result of all this is this confusion, this disorder, this pain, everything that we experience in our lives.
Psychologically and internally, we are lost from ourselves, because we lack a free mind. Our mind is full of images, remembrances, ideas, beliefs about who we are, what life is about, what the other is, who God is.
So, within this channel, here in these meetings – we have also been doing this in online and face-to-face meetings –, we are working with you on the end to this psychological condition. This psychological condition constitutes what we have called the egoic consciousness or conditioned mind.
Here I want to propose to you the end of this conditioned mind to a free mind.
A free mind is a mind free of this “me,” this “I.” The free mind is the mind free of this “me,” this ego, this structure of confusion, disorder and suffering. Some call this Spiritual Enlightenment or Spiritual Awakening. It is the Truth of your Being, it is the Truth of your Divine Nature, your Essential Nature, expressing itself, living. The presence of this Reality, which is the Reality of your Being, is the presence of Bliss, the presence of Love, it is the presence of Freedom.
Thus, our meetings are intended to show you a new way of looking at life, of looking at yourself, of finding yourself in this context of life. In general, we call it “human life,” but we do not know what that means or represents.
Human life is confused, unfortunate, problematic, anxious, anguished, and unhappy. Of course we have moments of intense joy, pleasure and satisfaction in this or that aspect of life.
We have some really wonderful moments, but they are just moments that are soon eclipsed, again, by moments of anguish, trouble, and suffering.
Is it possible to have a life really in Love, really in Freedom, really in Happiness, a free life? A free life is synonymous with a free mind. So, Enlightenment or Awakening is that which is unusual, which is unknown to this conditioned mind and egoic consciousness.
So, I have been using the expression “mind” here on the channel referring to that Divine, Free mind which, therefore, is synonymous with this Real Consciousness, which is the Consciousness of Truth, which is the Consciousness of God in you; and I have been using the expression “mind” also in the sense of this condition of the mind common to all of us, this mind trapped in this model of psychological conditioning, where there is this “I,” this “me.” The “person” you believe yourself to be is a fraud, an illusion. It is the sense of an identity separating itself from Life, from Existence, separating itself from God and therefore always loaded – that
“person,” that “me,” that “I” – with contradictions, conflicts, problems, and suffering because of that condition, which is the conditioned mind. This “false I,” this “false center,” is based on this conditioned mind condition.
The investigation of the Truth about who we are, self-enquiry, the approach through Self-awareness, is the genuine approach of True Meditation.
And what is Meditation? Meditation is the emptying of all that psychological content, all that conditioning of the mind.
If it is emptied of all that content, we have this free mind present.
It is when the sense of an “I” is no more, that “me” is no more. A life free from the ego is a life in Love, in this Freedom, as I have already stated.
You are in this life, this existence, this world – which I have called a dream – to Awaken, to wake up from this dream. Divine Truth, the Truth of your Being, is God Realization.
We were born for Happiness, we were born for Intelligence, we were born for the expression of this Divine Grace – in religious terms I would say: for “the Glory of the Lord,” for “the Glory of God” – and not for suffering, for this mess that has become our lives.
And it has become this great confusion, this great disorder, this great model of complexity, of suffering, of a nightmare in this dream called “life,” exactly because we address ourselves believing that we have a personal life, of our own, so we say: “my life,” “our life.”
It is always a sense of a present “I,” which is this illusory center, this false center, in this conditioned mind that gives us this illusory sense of a separate existence.
So, there is no beauty in our speech, there is no silence in our mind, in our heart, there is no sparkle in our eyes, there is no beauty. Because all our movements in life are an agitated, contradictory movement. We don't know what action is, only action. We live in a feverish activity – and it is always this activity of the “I,” it is the activity of egocentrism, the activity of this false identity. There is no free action of the ego, free of the “I,” because there is no free mind, a heart free from fear.
Here we want to invite you to recognize the Divine Truth, to assume this Divine Truth of your own Being. This is possible when there is Self-awareness, and Self-awareness is not accumulating information about who you believe you are.
The expression Self-awareness, here on this channel, is used in a different way. It is not a question of learning about this “I,” accumulating information about it, but of learning about this illusory “I,” perceiving the illusion of its presence, perceiving this psychological conditioning that this “I” constitutes.
So, it is not a matter of accumulating information about the “I,” but of discarding the illusion of that “I” by seeing this entire illusory movement of psychological conditioning, realizing this false center, observing this movement of the conditioned mind. Look at it, just look at it.
When you look at it, stillness arises, silence arises beyond that movement, then the mind becomes still, it becomes silent. In this observation, this whole movement, which is the movement of the conditioned mind, is seen; and when that is seen, in that silence of a new mind arising – which is the Presence of that Intelligence –, that sense of “I,” that illusory center in the conditioned mind falls away. And when that is gone, there is no more conditioning in the mind, something entirely new has come into being.
So, Self-awareness brings you closer to True Meditation in practice. Here on the channel we have been talking a lot about Self-awareness. We have a playlist here on the channel about true Self-awareness, which is this subject that we are focused on, and about the True Meditation in practice, in living here and now, moment by moment. It is not the practice of Meditation, as you know it, it is Meditation in practice, in living, here and now, moment by moment. This learning about oneself is the unlearning of this model of egoic mind, of egoic identity, this model of egocentric activity, for the emergence of something new, of this free action of the “I,” of the ego.
Then, there comes the Truth of your Being, which is the Truth of God.
This represents the end of all contradiction, of all dilemma, of all suffering, of all psychological unhappiness, everything that you know as “human life” or “person” as you see yourself, as you believe yourself to be. It is the Reality of God – some call this Kundalini Awakening or the Awakening of Consciousness –, the Truth of God revealing itself here and now.
Thus, the Truth of your Being is the Truth of God, and if that is the Truth of your Being, there is no reason to continue in this movement of conflict, of suffering, living in confusion, in psychological and emotional disorder, in relationships with the world. Without the sense of a present “I,” this present illusory center, life appears as a Single Reality here and now, and that Reality is the Reality of God.
So, we are here with you on this channel, deepening this, investigating this with you, looking together at this possibility of realizing God in this life.
Here the expression “realizing God” is not something for the future, this Realization is the Truth of God revealing Himself in Himself, for Himself. He is Something present now, not something you are going to do or achieve.
Your job is to give up that “me,” that “I.” In this sense, yes, there is a work to be done and this work consists of the simple and direct observation of this movement of the “I.” This constitutes, in fact, ultimately, a work of the Presence itself, of Grace itself, of Divine Truth itself in you.
Looking at this movement, which is the movement of the “I,” here and now, in this moment, realizing all this disorder, all this confusion, all this programming.
This sense of “I” is made up of remembrances, recollections, thoughts, feelings, images, they all come from the past. We have the illusory idea of becoming different from who we are, of improving ourselves in a certain way, of self-improvement in a certain way, as we have been saying here. This is completely delusional.
The Reality of your Being is something that is ready here and now. The whole work consists of becoming aware of the illusion of this “I,” this “me,” the one you believe yourself to be. Seeing the illusion of this psychological being, this false identity, this false “I” – it has established itself as a false center in this conditioned mind.
Seeing this is the end of it. Realizing that is the end of it. So, this approach of oneself is the work that is needed.
To look at this movement of the “I,” to verify this movement of the “I,” to perceive the illusion when it is seated within this false identity.
Is a free life possible? Is a life totally and completely free of disorder, of suffering, of confusion, of fear, a life in Love, in this Consciousness of Reality, which is God Consciousness, possible?
The answer to that is: yes!
That is your True Nature, that is the Truth of your Being.
The only purpose in this life is to assume the Truth of Bliss of your Being, which is the Truth of God, that is when it can be seen only as a great Divine game, a great dream, but it is not a dream for that “me,” for that “I,” for a dreamer. It’s a dream of God. So now you are, yes, enjoying this Grace, this Presence,
living That for which You were born, or That for which You appeared; and it is very paradoxical, “apparently” in this dream, because That which is You transcends – has always transcended – all of that and we can become aware of It and assume It in this life.
So, this is the invitation for you here within this meeting on this channel. If this is something that makes sense to you, I also want to remind you that we have online and face-to-face meetings and also retreats where we are working on this with those who are approaching. If that makes sense to you, see you in the next one. OK?
Thanks for the meeting and see you soon.
