After all, what are we working together with you? We are working to end the illusion of the sense of an “I” present, here and now, within this experience. We are working with you to end a separate identity, the presence of “someone” here and now. The idea you have about who you are, the concept you have about yourself and others, about the world, this is something that is based on this illusion. This illusion is the ignorance of the Truth about you.
You have not looked, you have not observed, you have not seen the Truth about yourselves, because there is no investigation into it. It is common for all of us to maintain our lives in a mechanical, unconscious way, unaware of who we really are. The contradictions, conflicts, dilemmas, problems, all the different fears and complications, the different forms of unhappiness that we have in our lives are present because of this lack of knowledge.
Although, if we have a real interest to approach it, interest in a real change, in a real transformation in ourselves, in our minds and in our hearts, for an entirely new life, free of conflicts, problems, dilemmas and suffering, we need to understand the Truth about who we are. It is necessary for us to understand this question of this content of consciousness in us. After all, what is this consciousness – this human consciousness in us?
We all have differences from each other. These psychological differences have very particular aspects within each one’s history, however, basically, psychologically, this human consciousness, this state of consciousness, is something common to all of us. We are here referring to the same consciousness in everyone: it is this egoic consciousness, it is this consciousness of the “I” – that is what we have called this model of consciousness that we know.
If there is a change in our mind, in our heart, something entirely new will be present in this experience of living, that is what we are interested in within this meeting. We are spending a lot of energy trying to solve problems – physical problems, intellectual problems, emotional problems, financial problems, different problems that we have in our lives – and these problems are present because of this lack of Real Consciousness. This Real Consciousness is this New Consciousness, which I have been dealing with here within these meetings. The presence of this Real Consciousness is the presence of Intelligence. And when there is Intelligence, because of this New Consciousness, what we call “human problems” is something completely different – we are facing something entirely different. All the problems in us, or present in us at the psychological level, are present because of an illusion, because of a mistaken identification with that “I”, with that ego – that is the so-called consciousness present in all of us, that consciousness common to all of us.
Here I have been dealing with the possibility of a New Consciousness due to this transformation possible for each one of us, in our minds and in our hearts. The Realization of this is the Realization of the Truth of your Being, what some call the “Awakening of Consciousness”. And why the expression “Awakening of Consciousness”? Because it is about Real Consciousness. What we have called consciousness in us – this consciousness common to all, this human consciousness – is in a state of sleep. In fact, all the psychological insanity present in us is due to this human consciousness – what we might call unconsciousness here.
The condition of the mind in us, linked – as it is – to the psychological conditioning program that we have been bringing for millennia, this psychological condition of consciousness, which is the consciousness of the “I”, which is the mental consciousness, is a consciousness of insanity. We do not know the Truth about who we are and, in this insanity, in this unconsciousness or in this egoic consciousness, what prevails in us is fear, envy, jealousy, anxiety, all forms of complexes, traumas, and anguish. All this is present because of that common state of unconsciousness or egoic consciousness in all of us, which is this so-called “human consciousness”.
Here the proposal is the understanding of the Truth about your Being, the Truth about your Real Nature. The Truth about it, is the end of this human consciousness as we know. In other words, it’s the end of this view of thought, experience, and time as we know. We have a model of thought, experience and time. For us there is the past, the present and the future; for us there is thought and these thoughts are born of a thinker in us; for us, the experience we live, that we experience, is very real for this thinker who, in fact, is just a stored thought, accumulated as part of a memory, and all of this is within this conditioning of the egoic consciousness, of the human consciousness, of this mental consciousness.
Our approach to thought, experience and this so-called “time” is completely wrong. Our notion of past, present and future, psychologically speaking, is an illusion. Our notion of a thinker producing thoughts and dealing with life from those thoughts is an illusion. And this search for experience to acquire more ability to get it right, to do what suits you, to do the right thing, this also constitutes an illusion. All action in us that is based on the past, that is, on memory, on remembrance, which is thought, you see, all this is the result of past experiences and we are trying to adjust life in this present moment to a vision of a past experience, of a remembrance, of a memory, always within the idea that there is “someone” responsible for it, which is the “I”, the thinker.
We believe that we can perform in life an action free of complications, problems and dilemmas, based on what this sense of “I” carries. So, this mental consciousness is what we have valued to be the truth about who we are, and it is not real. Self-investigation brings you closer to Self-Awareness. Self-Awareness is the approach of this observation of this “I”; it is this “me” that is present within this illusion that he is “the one who is thinking”, he is the one who is always, based on experiences, looking to get it right.” It is not in a conscious way that we are looking for unhappiness. I said this: it is not in a conscious way that we are looking for unhappiness, but all of our actions, everything that we are doing with our lives is towards that unhappiness, and it is not in a conscious way, because in a conscious way, we would never be acting as we are acting, saying what we are saying, relating to the world, to the other as we are doing.
Our conflicted actions, which are based on all this thought already programmed in us, already conditioned in us, something that comes from the past, this behavior, these actions, this model of life, of existence, is something that is producing suffering and unhappiness in our lives. We are not consciously looking for this unhappiness. Our search is for happiness, but a search for happiness based on this unconsciousness about who we are, puts us within this self-centered pattern of behavior and egoic action, of pure egocentrism, and this produces in our lives the unhappiness we don’t want. So, it becomes very clear: the human being is not looking for unhappiness, but everything he has been doing or what we have been doing from that center, which is the “I”, which is the ego, from that mental consciousness – which, in fact, is pure unconsciousness – has led us to this mess we, as human beings, are in today, in which each of us is living in our relationships with each other today.
So, our meeting or work together is about understanding the Truth about who we are, and this understanding is what will work this fundamental transformation in our minds and hearts into the emergence of this Reality, which is the Reality of your Being, which is the Divine Truth that you Are. This is the Truth of God – some call it Spiritual Enlightenment or the Awakening of Consciousness – a completely different life, a new way of living, feeling, acting, speaking, and thinking, totally free of this sense of “person”, this sense of being a separate individuality. This individuality is an illusion. Yes, the illusion of individuality. We carry this illusion: the illusion of a sense of “I” present within living, within experiencing, within thinking, within time. The Reality of your Being, the Divine Reality that you Are, the Truth of your Essential Nature, is not in time – here I am referring to the psychological time, which is “I-time”, where there is this notion of “I”, I was, I am and I will be”.
Here, when we talk about this transformation, this change, it is not based on this illusion “I was, I am and I will be”. Every idea we have about change or transformation, in general, we always put the illusory notion of that time, which is the time of the “I”. There is no Truth in this psychological time, and therefore this sense of “I” may undergo reforms, peripheral changes, but that is not what we are talking about here. We are talking about a radical change and it is not the change of the “I”, it is the change in this brain, physical structure, in this body-mind. It’s the end of that psychological structure. That’s what I've been calling “real possible change” for each one of us. A change that is present when the sense of ego is no more and therefore the sense of time is no more, this whole notion of “I was, I am and I will be” is no more.
Here I have signaled to you the importance of an approach outside of this idea of “I will be”, “I will get there”. After all, what is this “me”? What is this “me”, this ego? Something becomes fundamental here – really necessary and fundamental in our lives – and that Something is the Realization of the Truth of God, which is the Truth of your Being. This is the end of the “I” and the beginning of something entirely new and unknown to this model of thinking and feeling, to this old model of thinking, experiencing and acting based on this false ego, this false “I”, this false identity.
The Truth about you is the end of the illusion about who you believe you are, it is the end of the illusion of that individuality. That sense of individuality is all the confusion in each of us. True individuality is something completely outside of anything the mind can conceive or idealize. It is a life free of psychological time, a life free of the sense of “I”, of that “I am today, I was yesterday, and I will be tomorrow”; a life free from this idea of becoming, of achieving, of becoming “someone different”. We are talking here about the end of all this illusion. If fear is there, that’s what we have, if envy is there, that’s what we have. Envy will not change into something else; it will always be envy; fear will always be fear. When you observe fear and envy closely, there is an end to that “I”, and when that “I” ends, psychological time ends. You don't need time to go beyond fear or envy, you need to become aware of the illusion of this “me” with its envy and its fear.
So, this is our work together and this is what we are dealing with, here on the channel. If what you're listening to is something that makes sense to you, I want to invite you to leave your “like” and subscribe to the channel. I want to remind you: we have online meetings and face-to-face meetings, where we are working on this with those who approach us. OK?
If that makes sense to you, we'll see you in the next one. Thanks for the meeting!
