Here on this channel, we show you the real way to get closer to What We Are. A real Comprehension of what we are is something fundamental that will represent an action free from conflict, contradiction, and suffering. Therefore, this subject of the Revelation of What We Are, this study of ourselves, which is Self-Awareness, is the foremost thing we have in life. And here I have been trying to show you how it becomes possible, how to realize it, and how to have a vision of what is happening here with us.
The action here and now, at this moment, calls for an adequate response. You cannot give an adequate response to this instant, this moment, to this action, without understanding the Truth about who you are. People might be surprised. Notice how important this is in our lives: a direct understanding of the truth of how we think, feel, and act in life. Our action, for example, here at this moment, is based on our thoughts. Thus, all our knowledge, memories, and experience give us the guidelines for that action. If that action is born from the confusion of this internal psychological state in which we find ourselves, that action will be conflicting. That's what we say here. Note that when your action is born from thought – because it comes from an idea – it is born from a programming, from a calculation. This idea, calculation, and programming come from the past. You will never have an Action free from the past as long as your action is based on ideas and, therefore, on this movement, which is the movement of the thinker.
Let me talk a little bit about what the thinker is. You have a very clear feeling that you are thinking; this movement of thought within you, this inner movement of thought gives you a very strong feeling of the presence of the thinker. Every time a thought arises, it is a thought that appears, and the illusion present in us is the illusion of someone originating that thought or producing it. So, we have an illusion: the illusion of the presence of this thinker. That makes this thinker very truthful in this movement of ordering, pre-ordering, manipulating, and doing something with this thought that arises.
The intention of the thinker is always to guide thought, to do something with thought. So, we make plans based on thoughts. This is the work of the thinker, this sense of someone behind thoughts. It makes the plan, devises the plan, and sets out to act. This action is the action of the ego, of the “I.” Our actions based on this ego are based on these ideas; they have this thinker as their principle. So, this is the life of the “I,” the ego, this is the thinker. Action at this moment, here and now, is something that calls for a living expression, an expression of life itself, a real expression at this moment. When we bring our ideas from the past – the thinker does that – we are trying to adjust, shape, and manipulate this moment. So, we falsify the Truth of action because we are trying to deal with the present moment based on the past. That is the action of the “I,” the ego.
Follow this here carefully. What is the truth of action in the present moment when the ego is not present? We are unaware of this because all our ego-centered actions are born from the past, from thought, so they are mere reactions of memory. That is the egoic life, the life of the “I.” There is no movement of Intelligence at this moment because we do not have an action free of the ego, which represents an action free from the past. Our brains are numb, addicted to this model, inclined to this ancient model of pre-ordained, pre-calculated action, motivated by the “I.” You see: an action that is born from desire, from fear, that is within thought, is born from the past.
This type of action, I have said, I have called it “quality of action.” This quality of action is trapped in the model of this psychological time, in this programming of suffering, contradiction, fear, and desire. An action free of thought and, therefore, free from the past, is an action that responds to this moment in the highest Intelligence. The energy present is the energy of Wisdom, of Comprehension. Then, we come across the Truth; Truth reveals itself now, at this instant, when the past, that is thought, is not present. Our life has been shaped by thought, and the whole structure of our existence is sustained by the program of thought and, therefore, of the past.
Note that you function internally, psychologically, trapped in time. Your actions are always oriented towards acquiring or getting rid of, to obtain, conquer, or move away and be free. Our calculated actions, programmed in thought, as they are born from the past, they are born from conflict. Effort is part of it. Becoming aware that your action, that comes from effort, is born from this intention to achieve or get rid of something. In this struggle, we have conflict, the presence of the ego. A life free from the ego is a life free from this egocentric action, this way of being someone. We don’t know that.
So, our work here consists of this discovery of the truth about this whole process, which is the “I” process, which propels us into this pattern of action, the egocentric pattern of action, and, therefore, into an action that produces in our lives every form of disorder, confusion, and suffering. Our relationships with our wife, husband, children, family, friends at work, our boss, and relationships with people as well as with objects. We are always in a relationship with people and also with objects, situations, and the place we live. Our life is a life of relationships; we also have a relationship with thoughts, emotions, and the ideas that arise... all of this represents a form of action.
Action is something constant present in our relationships with people, objects, places, internal and external situations... Life consists of this challenging movement, continually placing us in a new moment – and we always come across this new moment with this old ego, this old “I,” which is this movement of thought not understood, in which we are enslaved because of this restless, chatty mind, this internal disturbance, which is this movement of thought processing within each one of us, of which we are not aware, not conscious. Based on this, we respond to this moment and to life.
Having an approach to yourself, a vision of Self-Awareness, gives you the possibility of an Action free from the ego. You discover it by looking at the internal movement of thought itself, how it processes in this mechanism, in this body-mind. Becoming aware of each thought, feeling, emotion, sensation, and perception without mistaking yourself for it, without placing in this experience that is the feeling, thought, emotion, the thinker, the experiencer, the sense of someone present to do something with that. Just becoming aware of what is happening inside each of us, looking at this entire process right now, paying attention without intervening, without interfering. Then, there is an end to this continuity of the “I,” the thinker, the experiencer, this ego.
That is the approach to the Truth of Meditation. That, in itself, is the basis of Understanding the study of ourselves. That studying oneself is Self-Awareness. To have this Revelation is the Truth of Meditation showing itself. So, an answer to this moment now no longer comes from the past, from this movement which is the movement of the thinker, of the “I.” Examine this with me here, discover what it is to look at yourself, to look at any internal movement arising, only look without putting someone into the look. There is a way of looking without the observer, of perceiving without that perceiver. There is a way of approaching thought without the thinker, just as there is an action now, becoming possible without the author of this action. This author of the action, this “I,” this one who does, is the thinker. The one who calculates, who does something from this memory, that is thought, is the doer. An action that, here and now, happens without a plan, a project, an idea, or a thought, is the action of Intelligence itself.
Just follow this talk; it might sound a bit strange for you at first, but only listen. Listening is the key to understanding a subject like this. It's not just about following this intellectually. Something is needed beyond this intellectual model of following a speech, as we generally have, which is evaluating, comparing, judging, and striving to understand, capture, or acquire this knowledge. Here, it is not about acquiring knowledge but rather about an understanding reaching you. Then, you are touched internally, here, at this instant, on a new level… Then, something arises, your mind becomes silent, and there is a space of stillness. Then, this Understanding is born, the Understanding of what we are here signaling, pointing to you. Alright?
In this meeting, we investigate the nature of the action free of the ego. You do not use your intellect to understand it – you only listen. This conditioned intellect in us is already an intellect programmed for reactive action, for action calculated by thought, and here we are pointing to a new way of acting, to a new form of action. The conditioned intellect does not reach this. There is Something within you that makes it possible to Understand a speech like this, signaling Something beyond the conditioned intellect. Get that.
Thus, an approach to the Truth of your Being is in this Attention, in this look at every thought that arises at this moment. So, we are here telling you that action at this moment becomes possible, an action free from this model, this programmed intellect, this programmed thought, this thinker who moves from desire, from fear, from his egocentric motives. Becoming aware of this Truth is the Awakening of this Intelligence, this Vision of Life from the Reality of your Being. Some call this “Spiritual Awakening,” something that refers to this Truth of the Revelation of Self-Awareness and the action free of the ego. That is the Truth about Real Spiritual Awakening.
For this purpose, we have meetings here, on weekends, online meetings. You can find our WhatsApp link in the video description to participate in these meetings. In addition, we have face-to-face meetings and also retreats. If this is something that makes sense to you, please leave a “like,” and subscribe to the channel, ok? And see you. Thanks for the meeting, until next time.
