Here, I refer to this human mind. What is the mind? And how does it work? It seems to me that this is a question, a fundamental matter, for each of us. Now, however, it is a question that no one can give us an answer to. Any answer you get to this question, to this matter, or to these two questions – which, in reality, are one single question – any answer you get to it in a book or by listening to someone, an expert, you will only get a verbal answer, an intellectual answer.
We are pretty curious creatures when it comes to that. We love listening to lectures. We also love reading. When we listen to lectures or hear others telling us about some topic or subject, we become very, very interested. But all we can get there is theoretical knowledge. The same way when reading something. We enjoy the readings very much, but all we do with it is to have a merely intellectual, conceptual, verbal approach.
Here, I want to work with you in the next few minutes on that. Here on the channel, we have several videos working with you to end the illusion of this sense of a present “I,” a present ego. Yes, that person as you see yourself, believe to be. Entirely different from this pattern, this model. That becomes possible when you become aware of the Truth about yourself.
So, what is the mind? Look inside yourself, and the answer begins to show itself. You do not need to go to books or listen to lectures. What you need here for this understanding is the study of yourself. An approach to how you function; nobody can give you that. Observation, seeing, and directly perceiving gives you that Vision, that True Revelation. Observe within yourself and you will see the entire internal movement of this “consciousness,” as we call it, which is the consciousness of this “I,” this “me,” this person; it is this movement that is the movement of the mind.
What is the mind? Movement of history, memory, remembrances, and recognition that represents a vision now being recognized based on a past experience. The truth of the mind is the truth of the “I,” of that mind, of this so-called “human mind”; it is the history of humankind. We divide the mind into conscious and unconscious; we call it conscious mind, unconscious mind, or consciousness, which we divide into conscious and unconscious. In reality, we are talking about a single block, a movement that is memory, remembrance, recollection, history, experience, and knowledge. That is the mind!
Now, see the condition in which we find ourselves in this well-known “human mind.” What is our story? What is the history of humanity? What is the story of the human being? For millennia, human beings have been living a life in confusion, in dispute, in struggle, in conflict. The history of the human race, the human history, is a history of battle. Internally and psychologically, due to a lack of the comprehension of the Truth about who we are, the result of our external life is a life of this quality. So, this so-called “my story,” “my life,” is the human life, the life of humanity.
Is it possible to go beyond the limits of this condition of the human mind? That mind is the one formed in time. We are the result – psychologically and biologically speaking – we are the result of history, of memory. This is part of that time, the time of humanity. This time in us is nothing but the story of this past repeating itself now, having this continuity at this moment, and moving towards this so-called “future.” So, what we take for this present moment is just a door to the continuity of this past. So, this so-called past, the human history, which is all this memory, remembrance, experience, knowledge, all this is the content of this mind of the “I,” this human mind. That is how we work, and all this content is going through this door of this present towards the future.
So, there is always this continuity of time. This work in itself is the end of that time. We are going beyond that frontier, beyond that line that is the story of the “I.” This story of the “I” is in this timeline. It is the story of this ego-identity, this person burdened with all confusion, this struggle, this battle. The Truth of your Being reveals itself with the Awakening of Consciousness. Then, the Awakening of Consciousness is our subject here within the channel, the flowering of something entirely new, beyond this limitation, this border, this dimension of time, this timeline.
It is in this timeline that the question of space also takes place. We need that space. It is in this space that this movement of time occurs. So, we never separate this time from space itself. That sense of an “I” in us needs that space to move. And the movement in that space is the movement of that time itself. Here, I refer to that time that the “I” has been building, which is psychological time.
Notice how interesting all this is. Here, we are investigating the nature of the egoic mind, the human mind, the “I.” When you look at yourself, everything you find about yourself – if you could put it in a dissertation or tell this to someone – everything you have about who you are is a story, which is just a memory, a remembrance, a movement in space and time. And this is nothing more than imagination.
So, what we call movement in this space is nothing more than thought in this time, a production of imagination. Thus, the person, this sense of a present “I” that has a name and a story, and life is just a set of images, memories, something coming from the past. The matter is: where is this past? What we have of it here is just an imagination! Do you get that? That is the sense of “I,” the ego. Then, what we call life, “my life,” is the imagination of someone present, here and now.
Here we come across the illusion of an “I,” of an ego-identity. The disruption with this is the Awakening of Consciousness. What is this Consciousness? It is something outside that limitation, something beyond that boundary, something beyond that timeline constructed by thought, which is imagination, the imagination of the “I.” The Awakening of Consciousness is the Truth of your Being, the Divine Truth. All the confusion, the struggle, the battle, the suffering in this life is only present in this particular life of the “I,” it is something that is only present in this timeline, where this space and this time exist.
The Awakening of Consciousness, some call it Spiritual Enlightenment, the Realization of God, is the end of the illusion of that sense of someone. When the end of this illusion occurs, we have the end of time, of course, the end of this line, the end of this story, of this memory. Real Life is not personal life; Real Life is Divine Life, the Life of God, free from that sense of an “I,” of ego-identity. We are before a Reality of Happiness, Love, Peace, Freedom, Intelligence, the absence of birth and death, which the human mind, this mind of the “I,” is unaware of.
We can spend a lifetime, from cradle to grave, just within that timeline. That has been human history, the history of humankind. Some have broken with it, have gone beyond that condition, beyond this so-called “human mind.” We have separated and divided this mind into conscious and unconscious. For us, the conscious is shown here on the surface, which we effortlessly access from that very mind. And the unconscious is that which is in the depth.
Every now and then, we have a glimpse of this so-called “unconscious.” But these impulses in us, egocentric, centered in this struggle for survival, for continuity for this illusory identity that is the “I,” also come from this so-called “unconscious.” Violence, aggression, envy, different forms of fear, constant fear, all these are part of this so-called “unconscious.” We separate this, but we are actually dealing with a single block, which is this sense of the “I,” the ego.
Our work consists of this Awareness of Truth, of Revelation about who we are, the end of the ego, the end of the “I,” the Reality of your Being when that time – which is this timeline – ends. I refer to this psychological time, where the entire story of the “I” takes place. I could call this timeline “the story of the ‘I’.” The Divine Reality, the Reality of your Being, the Reality of your True Nature, is What is present here and now. It is no longer within that time formed, created, or produced by thought on this timeline.
What I am saying to you is that life consists of what is here, as shown when there is no sense of an “I” present, when there is no context of imagining an identity, in this movement, in this imaginary space, and in this imaginary time, produced by thought.
Thus, the Truth about who we are is the Truth of God. That Reality of God – notice: when we use the expression “God” here, we are pointing to that Reality beyond this boundary, beyond this limitation that thought has produced – that Reality of God is the Reality of your Being.
You were born in this life. This life actually consists of a great dream, a Divine dream. Your appearance within this dream is for the verification of a Reality outside of it, which is the Reality of God. So, the Reality of God is present here, at this instant, becoming aware of Itself in the context of a dream. All this is a great Divine joke. Becoming aware of the Truth of what we are, realizing all this confusion, this struggle, this private life of a false identity, living in this timeline. All this is a great Divine joke. To awaken in this dream, awaken in this dream to the Truth of the dream. That is the end of a particular dream of the “I” to the vision of this Reality of that Divine dream.
So, notice what we have said here for you within the channel. There is this particular dream of the “I,” this imagination, this timeline, this egoic mind, this human mind. That has produced a private dream for an illusory identity. The Awakening from that dream is the end of it and the Awareness of the Truth of the great Divine dream, of all this Divine Reality, this Real dream of God. Becoming aware or awakening – the Awakening of Consciousness, the Revelation of your Being – is the Awareness of this great dream of God and the end of this dream of the “I,” the end of the dream of this ego-identity.
So, a New Life, a New Mind, a Divine Mind, a Free Mind, a Mind Free from the illusion of “I,” the ego. This Natural State of Being, Consciousness, Presence, and Happiness is the Free state of this sense of an “I” in this illusion of a “non-I.” In this sense of separateness, “the other and I,” “the world and I,” “life and I,” “God and I,” lies fear, suffering, ignorance, illusion, and the sense of duality. Non-duality is the Nature of Being.
Thus, Indian scriptures and Indian sages for millennia have been talking about this non-separateness. They have been talking about this dream, about Maya. You have been talking about the illusion of that sense of separation, where there is the illusion between that “I” and God. So, non-duality, the vision of the Truth of your Being in this Awakening of Consciousness, the sages have called it Advaita. Advaita is non-duality. This is straight from the Vedas. The Truth of your Being, the Divine Truth, is at the end of that mind, which is the mind of the “I,” which is the human mind.
Thus, our work here consists of an approach to this Reality. Perhaps you ask: “But how does this become possible?” Through Self-awareness! I am not referring to these practical techniques or so-called “self-awareness” exercises. I am talking about an approach to yourself where you become aware of the movement of the “I” and thus there is the discarding of this illusion, this timeline, this personal dream of someone present here, for the verification of a Truth beyond this known model, which is the model of this ego-identity.
So, coming closer to the Truth of the Revelation of Self-awareness puts you in direct contact with the awareness of the Beauty of this Art of Being. This awareness I have called True Meditation which, by the way, has nothing to do with what you have already read, studied, researched, or even practiced in the name of this so-called meditation. Here, I refer to the True, Real Meditation. The one that makes it possible to realize the Truth of your Being through Self-awareness.
Thus, this work here consists of this approach, this contact with the Divine Reality, with the Reality of God. That is our work here within the channel. We have online meetings on the weekends and go deeper into this. In these meetings, we work on the questions you ask, which you bring to us. We have here in the description of the video our WhatsApp group. You can go in and go deeper into that. In addition, we have face-to-face meetings and also retreats, where we work on this with those who approach. So, if this makes sense to you, go ahead and write in the comment: “Yes, it makes sense!” and subscribe to the channel; and see you, OK? Thanks for the meeting, see you next time.
