The human being has been surviving to what he calls “life”. Here we emphasize the Beauty of life and how narrow and limited it is to live within this pattern of mere survival in illusion, in deception, in not knowing the truth of who we are. Our life in this existence is a survival, there is always this struggle, all this despair, and all this confusion. The word here is psychological disorder, we are living in psychological disorder, that is the condition of human life when there is not this Truth, this Reality, this understanding about who we truly are.
We are living under a belief about who we believe we are. We have an idea about ourselves, a particularized view of ourselves, a view, by the way, that is merely a copy of the context of culture, society, and the world. This is what I have been calling here psychological conditioning. What is conditioning? You take a small animal and teach it a few things, it will learn and will respond to those commands within a conditioning principle, so it is educated within a conditioning principle. What we don't realize is that our lives run from the cradle to the grave in the same format. We respond to what we learn because we have been conditioned to give those responses. The whole condition of psychological life in us is a programmed response. Everything we learn in life we learn by repetition, by fear and pleasure, just as animals do.
We carry a psychological conditioning, and this conditioning is the result of a culture that has educated us in this way, that has given us this conditioning, that has given us this programming. So, there is no Truth in us: the Truth of Self-Awareness, the Truth of Reality about who we are, and that is what we are here with you studying, investigating, and deepening. We have to go into this direct understanding of the Truth about who we are, and for that we have to investigate this illusory identity that we present ourselves to be, that we show ourselves to be, that we appear to be, and that we are within this context of culture and the world. Are you with me?
This is our work here in this channel. We have online meetings and face-to-face meetings where we investigate all this, where we deepen this, where we discover this art of looking at ourselves to get rid of this repetition, this continuity, this programming, this conditioning. The Realization of That is something possible in this life, otherwise, life will go on as a mere survival. The psychological condition, the emotional, sentimental, intellectual condition of our lives, as well as all this programming in this mechanism, in this organism, and also the physical aspects, all this has been learned over the years. This pattern of information that we acquired throughout all this time has formed this memory, this psychological memory that we manifest today in our lives in a relationship with the other, in a relationship with objects, with people, animals, and places. Wherever we are, there is this learning being expressed, and this learning is merely conditioning.
We are investigating here with you what this represents, what this means, because psychologically, in this format of psychological conditioning, this mental conditioning has given us a condition of egoic consciousness, and this has put us in this existence in a life of survival. There is no truth about you until there is the awakening of Intelligence there. When there is this Intelligence, no longer this pattern, no longer this format, no longer this internal conditioning of the mind, then we have a new brain, a new mind, a new life, a new way of feeling, of thinking, and therefore a new way of acting. Are we together?
This is our meeting here, to study ourselves, to look at all this that we have acquired over all these years. If you are fifty, seventy, eighty years old, what you are carrying is a pattern of culture and psychological conditioning that is actually with you in these few years, in these few decades, but all of this is already the result of a millennial conditioning within humanity. Our programming makes us react to life from this inner background. We are living in a psychological prison, in a condition of separate identity, egoic, conditioned, programmed to always act from a background of reaction, from programming, conditioning, and repetition, that is the condition of an internal prison. This is what clearly explains the internal unhappiness in most of us.
Most human beings live completely unaware of the silence of the mind, the stillness of the heart, the vision of Non-separation – that separation between “me and the other,” “me and God.” Most of humanity, in this context of humanity, is completely unaware that the only Reality is the indescribable, unnamable Divine Truth. If It is present, there is no form of misery, no anguish, no pain, and no psychological suffering. This is what we are dealing with here in this channel. Some call this the “Awakening of Consciousness”, it is the Truth of your Being outside this world scheme. This is the Awareness of the Truth of God, the only Reality present when the ego, this “me” that is actually this set that we have acquired from this culture, this set of ideas, beliefs, opinions, proposals received and assumed in this life that is so common to all, where we have conditioned brains already programmed to react within principles that not only produce suffering for ourselves, but also for others.
We are living in envy, fear, jealousy, ambition, and various forms of conflicting desires, in a state of internal contradiction. We desire what we know is not good for us because it will create suffering for the other and for ourselves, but we can't, for example, get rid of this desire, so there is a contradiction between what “I” desire and what, in fact, “I” can have, get or obtain because there is this conflict, there is this contradiction. I desire something and thought shows me that it will produce suffering, and yet this impulse is there. This is just an example of psychological conditioning in this “me”, this “I”, this ego. That is our condition, we are loaded with ambition, with contradictions, this yearning for more in the illusion that happiness will be found when this or that pleasure, this or that form of fulfillment comes. All that is part of this program.
The work on ourselves makes us see, within this Truth of Self-Awareness, that our psychological condition is not the Truth about who we are, but the supposed truth that we assume to be because of a program that has been given to us, that has been taught to us, instilled in us. Sometimes people ask, “What is Spiritual Enlightenment?” Spiritual Enlightenment is the end of the “I,” it’s the end of the ego, it’s the end of this “me and the other,” “me and the world,” “me and God” idea, it’s the end of the sense of separation. This is not possible as long as this conditioning pattern persists, as long as this way of thinking and feeling is not deeply investigated; it will sustain itself, it will maintain itself. You have all the energy available to Realize the Truth about who you are, to discover a new way of feeling and thinking, to live a Real life, not a life of survival where you carry this so-called “existence” for forty, fifty, seventy years, and when the body stops breathing and the heart stops beating, when this so-called “death” of this body, this organism happens, all this is left behind; a heavy life that has been lived within principles of envy, fear, desires, ambitions, contradictions, and conflicts, an unhappy life. The psychological condition of the mind is one of unhappiness. This is something natural in the egoic mind, which is the mind of “I” that lives for itself, focused, always centered on itself, within a unique egocentrism, and when this so-called “death” occurs, you pass through the so-called “life” without actually having lived, but only survived in this psychological condition of unhappiness within the egoic mind. Here we are investigating with you, exploring this deeply.
All the videos here on the channel point to this possibility, to a direct, effective work towards the end of the “I”, of the ego, of this life of survival, the end for this psychological suffering. Our meeting, our work is in this direction. We need to know what this free action of the “I” is, what is this thinking working inside each of us in an objective, direct, functional way – I mean thinking free of this sense of identity of the “I,” thinking free of envy, of jealousy, of possession, of the illusion of control, objective thinking. What is this thinking without this “I” that is the thinker, that is the ego? What is this action free from the illusion of an agent, of “someone” being the author of the actions, being this doer? What is this action free of the doer, free of the agent? What is thought free of the thinker, of this contradictory and afflicting “I” that lives restlessly in a projection of the future and always reminiscing and searching for the ancient and old impressions of past memories, producing in you states like anguish, guilt, and feelings of rejection and hatred – which are internal states of unhappiness? What is thinking free of the thinker? What is the feeling free of that particularity of an “I” in that feeling, stuck in, identifying with that feeling and confirming the illusion of an identity? So, what is thinking? What is feeling? What is acting free from the ego, free from the “I"? What is a life free of the ego, an existence where what is present is God’s Truth?
Here I use the expression God in a very clear way, it’s not something that can be imagined, it’s not something you learned in catechism lessons. I don't mean this concept of God, this conditioning, this particular conditioned view, programmed by organized religion about God. Here, for the expression God, in general, I use another expression, I call the Unknown, the Nameless. Here I refer to That which is indescribable, which is outside the mind, and, therefore, outside imagination and all the teaching that has been given to you by organized religion. It is not a belief, but an experience. There is a difference between believing in God and experiencing God. The sense of Being, Consciousness, Presence, without the ego, without that “me,” is the simple expression of the Reality of God. That’s when that living is Real Life. It is no longer a survival of the “I”, the ego, this “me” for forty, fifty, seventy years – a life that is actually an illusory existence within a dream world where ignorance is all that the ego knows, that this “person”, this “me” has. Here, the Truth you were born for is revealed as the Reality of your own Being, which is the Reality of God.
So, these meetings have the purpose, once abandoning all the beliefs, all the teaching you have learned up to now, all the studying you have done up to now, to look inside ourselves and discover what this “me”, this “I” is. Learning to look at it means getting rid of the illusion of this thinker, this “I,” this “me,” this identity that sees itself as separate from the other, the world, and God. The life outside of the “I” is what we are working on here with you, investigating, exploring, deepening, and having this as a possible Reality here and now. Here I am not sharing with you a theory, a concept, an idea. I am sharing with you a direct experience. Our work together is from this experiencing, so you verify for yourself the truth, the veracity, the reality of these words.
This is our subject here with you. I always ask at the end of the video if this makes sense to you. If this is something that makes sense to you, leave your “like” and subscribe to the channel. I want to remind you: we have a link here in the description of the video to our WhatsApp group, because we have online meetings and also face-to-face meetings, and I invite you to come closer and discover this in a direct way. in this work. Okay?
If this makes sense, if this is real, if this touches you in a certain way, that is the invitation, and we will see each other, ok?
Thanks for the meeting. See you next time!
