We are discovering the Truth of unlearning. That's it, unlearning! We are learning how to unlearn. We need to have an approach to the Truth of what we are, not what we believe to be. That is what, in general, we have from what we know. So, we know who the other is, who we are, and what life is. The idea we bring is this knowledge.
Here in these meetings, we are unlearning this knowledge. We are getting closer to the Truth, to the Understanding of who we are. Studying ourselves requires unlearning what we believe ourselves, others, and life to be. So, we are here approaching a Vision, a Revelation of the Truth of Wisdom, the Divine Truth, the Truth of God. That becomes possible when we discover the art of being Presence and Consciousness. That requires this unlearning.
Look at the life around you, and you will notice that everything you have from others, the world, and yourself in this relationship with this existence is beliefs, concepts, and ideas. That is what we believe we know. So, we need to unlearn, unlearn this knowledge. We need to discover the Truth about this so-called “knowledge”; and we find out this when we strip ourselves of this knowledge, this set of opinions, beliefs, ideas, concepts, and prejudices about life, others, and ourselves.
So, the work here consists of discovering the Divine Truth, this encounter with the Real Truth of Being that is Happiness, Love, Truth, Grace, and Beauty. People use the expression “communion with God.” If you do not understand the Truth about who you are, you have no true approach to the Truth about God. Everything you have about God is what you also have about others, about life, and about the world: ideas, a set of opinions, formulations, conclusions, and beliefs. That is what we have from each other, from life, from the world, from ourselves, and from God.
Thus, this contact with the Truth of our Being reveals this Grace, this Beauty, this Freedom, and this Real Happiness. When we approach in a very clear way... but, in general, we do not have this clarity, this authenticity, a true honesty for this approach. No matter how short this moment of clarity and honesty that in some moments we have in this contact with each other, we perceive that there is no Beauty, no Freedom. What is always present is conflict, disagreement, opinions, beliefs, conclusions, and personal ideals. It separates us, divides us, distances us from each other, and puts us in division, contradiction, and, therefore, in conflict in our relationships. There is no Love, no Compassion.
Here, we are working with you to end this condition by saying that a Real life is not a personal life. Real life is the true Religious life, in the sense that Religious life is not the life of religious practices. In general, we mistake Religious life for attending churches, temples, mosques, and so-called “religious” spaces, where there are ceremonies, rituals, teachings, and doctrines. We believe that contact with Religious life, contact with the Sacred, is contact with ceremonies, rituals, doctrines, sacred books, prayer practices, prayers, and songs.
Real religious life is one where the Truth of your Being reveals itself, here and now, as the Divine Reality, the Reality of God. That is the Presence of Real life in God. That is not the idea we have, “God with me,” or “God and I.” There is no such thing as “God and I”! Reality is the Divine Reality; the only one Reality in everything is the Reality of God. This sense of an “I” is of a person seeking or searching for this so-called “communion.” But what is this person? What is this “I”? What is the truth of this “I”?
This “I” is self-centered, self-interested, searching for something to obtain, achieve, get, to accomplish something for itself. This movement of the “I” is always personal, centered on this sense of separation from the other, life, and God. What is this “I”? What is the truth about this “me”? A set of images, memories, remembrances… the result of political, spiritualist, philosophical, and religious propaganda. That is the “I,” the result of a tradition, inheritance of humanity, human culture, and psychological conditioning. This sense of an “I” is present, loaded with fear.
This quest, this search, this attempt of yours to reach and find God… what is the reason behind this? You are boring and suffering. You are full – in addition to all this egocentric movement so common in this illusory center that is the “I,” the ego – you are full of fear. That drives you to this so-called “search for Truth.” All we want in the ego is to get rid of suffering, confusion, psychological disorder, anguish, existential void, loneliness, and this fear; and, therefore, we apply ourselves to rituals, ceremonies, and religious practices. However, the interest is always personal and egocentric. All of this is upheld by egocentrism and fear.
Here we are working with you to end the illusion of the “I” in this contact with others, life, and God, in which this “I” is not present. So, this Reality of God, the Divine Truth of your Being, encompasses the other, the world, and life. That is the real Religious life; the true Religious life is the absence of this “I” and, therefore, this egocentric movement of being someone. When there is true religion, a true Religious life, there is no fear, suffering, self-interest, egocentrism, confusion, and disorder.
It is no longer about continuing a life in contradiction, where you are one at home, the other at work, and another at church or in your religious space. It is not about this external aspect of religiosity, this apparent aspect of religious life, but an internal state of psychological Freedom, where the Presence of Being, which is Consciousness, is Meditation.
Meditation is the absence of someone present in this instant, in this moment, in this living. That eliminates rituals, practices, ceremonies, and all these external aspects, the external apparatus of religiosity. It is something present when life no longer brings any contradiction among thinking, feeling, and acting. So, there is no more contradiction. The Truth of your Being is the Truth of God. That is Religious life. It is no longer the life of the “I,” the ego, the person, that in this fear and illusion, in the presumption of being someone, is looking for something to temporarily be relieved of all this weight and all this suffering.
Look at this movement of thought within you, as well as feelings, emotions, and your very particular way of relating to those closest to you. Become aware of words, gestures, and what moves you to say. What is this internal movement of feeling and what motivates you to do this in contact with others and those around you? Being aware of this movement of the “I,” of the ego, this sense of an identity that separates itself from the other, from life, from the Truth, from God. Become aware of this “I,” have an approach to this study of yourself, this direct look with real clarity, with genuine intention to observe this movement and end this sense of ego-identity present at this moment. This is truly an approach to Religious, Divine life in God.
This is what we work with you here, our proposal to you within this channel. The Awareness of the Reality of your Being, which is the Reality of God, is the answer to questions like: “How do I get rid of fear?” “How do I get rid of anxiety?” “How do I get rid of envy?” “How to get rid of selfishness?” “How to realize God?” The answer to all of this is something that is within this Realization of what you are in your Being, when there is an emptying of all this psychological content of being someone within this instant, within this moment.
Thus, we abandon all this theoretical, intellectual, verbal and apparent aspect of the appearance of moral life, ethical life, life so called “spiritual” or “religious,” for a deeply Religious life, where there is this Truth of Being, which is Love. And when Love is present, Truth is present. That is something beyond this illusory apparently ethical, moral and religious stance that the ego disguises, all of this disappears when this life, a Real life, is a life Free from this sense of separation, free from the ego. Are you with me?
How do we approach this? Looking at this movement of the mind, this thinking, this feeling. Observing yourself – just observing, becoming aware of this movement, which is the movement of the “I” – this nullifies the condition of identity repeated in this model of egoic continuity. Therefore, the revelation of Self-awareness undoes this condition of egoic centering. That destroys this sense of “I.” When there is this approach to the Truth of Self-awareness, you have attention, at this instant, on yourself. Then, this internal model of thinking, feeling, and acting undergoes a radical transformation, a radical change. That is the art of learning about yourself, discovering the Truth of your Being, becoming aware that the only Reality present is the Reality of Love, Compassion, and Truth. The only Reality is the Reality of God, so there is no longer you and the other.
That is true Religious life, a Religious mind, a Religious heart, a feeling, thinking, and movement in life in Grace, Compassion, and Beauty. That is our topic here on the channel. Some call this “the Awakening of Consciousness,” “Spiritual Enlightenment,” or “Spiritual Awakening.” If this makes sense to you, I want to invite you – there is our WhatsApp link here in the video description. We have online meetings on the weekends. You can join our group and get closer to these meetings. In addition, we have face-to-face meetings and also retreats. Does it make sense to you? So, leave your “like,” subscribe to the channel, and leave a comment: “Yes, it makes sense.” OK? Thanks for the meeting, and see you.
