There is something here that we need to understand. No matter how hard we try to organize our lives from an external point of view to have balance, peace, freedom in our relationships, some level of security and stability, a perfect level of harmony, however we are trying this, we need to understand a few things here. All this internal activity will always – here I am referring to this activity within each of us –, no matter how hard we are trying externally to organize our life, this internal activity within you will, infallibly, overcome this external condition.
The truth about our life in this context of living, in this context of existence, is that, no matter how happy we appear to be externally, no matter how much security, stability and tranquility we appear to have to people, the truth about this is that within each one of us, we know that what determines our life, our real life, our real quality of life is also what happens inside each one of us.
As long as there is no understanding of the truth of these internal activities within us, no matter how much we create regulations or patterns of behavior or attempt to adjust to an external model of life, to this encounter with Happiness, this encounter with Freedom, this encounter with Love, this will not be possible. And this is not possible simply because we do not understand something very basic here, which is the truth of this consciousness, of the consciousness present in us, of this mind that is within this context of consciousness present in each one of us.
What is the truth about this consciousness? What is this human consciousness? We do not know. How does the mind work? We do not know. What is the mind? We have no idea what this actually is. We can find descriptions in books, just as we can have a description in a dictionary, but all we have there, are words. We have not had contact with the truth of the mind itself here, of this human consciousness here. We don't need to find it in books, we are this human consciousness and we bring this human mind as part of this consciousness that we are, that we express. So, everything we need is already present at this moment.
The possibility of studying ourselves is something that is present here, and it is only when we study ourselves that we become aware of this internal movement, this internal activity that will infallibly and always override any external order that we intend to achieve in our lives.
The most successful people in the world may have an externally very well-ordered life, very well organized, in order, but the truth is that internally their life still consists of disorder, because the totality of life consists of who we are here, at that moment, within ourselves, and not just what is externally around us.
The Truth of your Being is the truth of the totality of your life. If we still carry the weight of envy, jealousy, fear, worry, insecurity, restlessness, the absence of peace, the absence of love, the absence of freedom, no matter how our external life is already ordered, this internal present disorder will always overwhelm this external apparent order.
Here we are showing you that a free life is possible, a Real life, a truly wise life. This is a question that people also ask: “How to be Wise?” Very few people ask this question, but it also happens. There is, indeed, a need in our lives for the presence of Wisdom, and the presence of Wisdom is the Truth of Real Intelligence in action.
Let me explore a bit with you on this issue of human consciousness and Real Intelligence. What we call “consciousness,” notice, in you – your way of thinking, your way of feeling, your way of behaving in the world – is born from this background, born from this internal condition. It is this internal, psychological activity that is the basis of your external behavior in life, and these internal psychological activities are the result of what you have learned, they are the result of what you have gone through. By going through experiences in the past, since childhood... since you were a child, you have been obtaining a psychological formation, not only from this time itself, from this body, from this mind, from this living mechanism, from this biological mechanism that you call body and mind, biological and psychological that you call body and mind, but also as the result of a culture where you were raised.
We are, as human consciousness, the result of human civilization, of human culture. So, this consciousness present here, in general, we call “my consciousness.” The truth about consciousness, about this human consciousness, is that there is no such thing as “individual consciousness.” What is the truth about this individuality of consciousness? The truth is that there is no such individual consciousness.
This consciousness in us is human consciousness. Everything that is present in you – in this thinking, in this feeling and in this acting – is present in every human being. Every impulse, every feeling, every emotion, every sense of perception of reality, of existence, of life is something present in this background, in this program, in this model. This is the result of culture, civilization, and the history of human beings. So, our consciousness is the consciousness of humanity.
The envy present in you is present in everyone, jealousy is present in everyone, fear is present in everyone, ambition, greed, every form of worry that happens to you, happens to everyone. Objects can change, but concern is one in every human being, fear is one. Objects can change, but jealousy is one, envy is one, we all share, in this human consciousness, this same condition.
Internally, psychologically, our internal activities will always override any order, any form of balance, discipline, idea, planning that we have to externally order in our lives. So, the idea of this individual consciousness is an illusion. Here we are dealing with the consciousness of the human being. Studying oneself is studying humanity, studying man himself, studying the human creature himself.
This “studying yourself” is what opens the door to the Awakening of your Being, of the Truth about the Real Consciousness – not of this consciousness that we know, but of the Real Consciousness, which is Something entirely unknown to this sense, to this “I,” to this common consciousness, this human consciousness. The Awakening of the Truth of your Being is the Awakening of Intelligence, the Awakening of Wisdom. It is the answer to the question “how to be wise?” It is to move in this world free from this sense of egoic identity, this “I” that separates itself, and because you separate yourself, you are always in conflict with life, and because you separate yourself, you are always afraid of what life represents.
Note how important this approach we are having here is. We are investigating the nature of the “I,” the nature of the mind. Here is the answer to the question “What is the mind?”, “How does the mind work?”, “What is consciousness?” Notice, there are several answers here in this comprehension of this Awakening, this Real Being, this Real Consciousness. The approach to this is through Self-awareness, the basis for Wisdom is Self-awareness.
Without the understanding of the movement of the “I,” without the vision of this movement, which is the movement of the mind which, basically, is a movement of thoughts – thoughts which, in turn, are remembrances, memories, and recollections stored in this so-called collection that we call “mind.” So, the movement of this thought is the movement of the mind, the understanding of this movement of the mind is the perception of the movement of this consciousness, which is the result of a program of culture, society, civilization, human history present in this mechanism, in this body-mind.
The expression of this conditioning is the expression of this “I,” this conditioned mind, this is what is overcoming, this is what is prevailing in this life that we call “my life,” in these relationships, these so-called “my relationships,” “our relationships.” The sense of a present “I,” of an egoic identity that behaves within greed, envy, jealousy, fear, violence, suffering, the expression of this conditioning in our relationships with others, with life, is the model for this “I,” for this center that is the ego. This is what is overcoming, this is what is prevailing in human relationships. All the chaos in the world, all the disorder in the world, in the wider world, between nations, between countries, between cities, between neighborhoods, between families, between people, there is always another form of conflict, of aggression, and violence.
So, the sense of “I” is always appearing, present, creating these separations between cities, nations, neighborhoods, families, between “me and you,” between “us and that other group.” To examine this, to investigate this, is to go beyond this sense of a present “I” to a Real life in your own true Being. Not this psychosomatic being trapped in this condition of psychological conditioning, egoic conditioning, mental conditioning, of a life in the “I,” a life in the ego. I speak of this Real Being, this Real Consciousness, the Revelation of this Harmony, this Beauty, this looking at the other without this background, without this aspect of this egoic identity that separates itself to judge, compare, reject, always looking from a distortion of reality, which is this background of concept, prejudice, opinion, and evaluation based on judgments. Having the awareness of a look free of the “I,” of the ego, having a speech free of this sense of an “I,” of an ego, having this feeling, this living, this life in Completeness, in Fullness, a Divine life, a life where the Presence of Love is. Will this be possible?
A life free from suffering, where there is this Presence of Joy. Not a motivated joy, like the joy you have when you receive a gift or when a good thing happens for this “me,” for this “I,” for this ego, we are not talking about this model of joy. We are talking about a Joy of simply Being, of remaining free from this sense of person, in this Beauty of awareness, of Totality, of the absence of the “I,” of the ego.
We have moments of this quality of Joy when, for example, we are in front of a beach looking at the sea, seeing the waves crashing against the rocks, sitting on the sand. There is no thought, there is no imagination, there is no idea. The eyes are open, the ears are listening to the sound of that environment, of the waters crashing against the rocks. At this moment, there is the sound of the sea, there is the brightness of the sky, there is all this light spread across that environment, the light shining on the waters, on that sand; at that moment, there is no sense of an “I” present, there is a complete emptying of all this content of an egoic identity, of a personal identity, we have the end of this whole culture, of all this so-called “humanity”. There is, in this moment, the absence of fear, of envy, of ambition, of those so-called “dreams to be happy,” because in that moment, there is this indescribable Thing, the Presence of that Silence, the Presence of that Truth, the Presence of that Real Joy. So, at this moment, we have the Presence of this unknown Reality, this Divine Truth, which is the Presence of this Being, this Real Consciousness.
The work of the Awakening of this Consciousness, this Realization, is the Awakening of Wisdom, it is the Awakening of this Real Joy, which is the Truth about who You are. Some call this the Awakening of Consciousness and Spiritual Awakening, it is the end of the illusion of this “I,” of this ego within living, within experience.
So, this is our topic here on the channel. We have online meetings where we are working on this, investigating this, delving deeper into this subject. There is our WhatsApp group link here in the video description so you can get closer to these meetings and investigate this with us. In addition, we have face-to-face meetings and also retreats. If this is something that makes sense to you, please, go ahead and leave a “like,” subscribe to the channel and we'll see you, ok? Thanks for the meeting and see you soon!
