Alright! We still don't seem to understand very well what action means in life, Real action. For us, action necessarily requires the presence of struggle and effort. Therefore, we still don't seem to clearly understand that life becomes possible completely free of struggle, free of effort. In fact, let's take a closer look at this.
Notice that all the moments in your life where there was this scent of joy, lightness, harmony, stillness, silence, and peace, those moments, observe, were moments happening in a natural way. When I say natural, that's exactly what I mean, free from the artificiality of this movement, which is still the movement of the “I,” of the ego, the movement of effort and struggle. There is no struggle, no effort when we have the presence of Reality, that is the perfume of the Truth of God.
Our goal in life is to find Peace, Happiness and Love. We have a moment of Silence, Stillness, Joy, of absence of conflict, and at that moment the presence of that perfume becomes clear, the perfume of the Reality of God. The problem here arises because we want to find it, so we have purposes, goals, dreams, ideals.
And here I want to tell you something, which you already know because you have already lived it, but you've forgotten it: these moments have arisen in your life without searching. The moment of joy arises, but it is not the result of a search, an effort or a struggle; the moment of Stillness, Silence, Peace, where we have the fragrance of Love, Joy, this comes without effort, without struggle. When this is present, the sense of this “me,” this “I” is not present, so this is how we have to learn to deal with life.
The difficulty here is that this sense of a present “I” sees itself as separate from life. Since this sense of an “I” present is a movement, within each of us, of a thinker full of thoughts of how things should be, we are always rejecting, trying to get rid of, trying to annul what is here, in order to find what should be here. So, we always live in these projects of idealizations created and sustained by the “I,” which is this thinker, the one loaded with thoughts, ideas, conclusions, evaluations and beliefs.
So, we always have an illusion: the illusion that our life isn't as it should be. We have an idea of what should be, so we annul what IS for an idea of what should be, and we throw ourselves into this quest, this search. So, for most of us, what should be can come to be one day if, through effort, struggle, hard work, we achieve it. Then, there's always this projection of the “I,” the ego, into the future, into this ideal. That's what we need to see here.
This is part of all this training we've received, this way of feeling, thinking and acting we have. So, this conditioning of the mind, this psychological conditioning is guiding our lives in this way, in this model. Studying ourselves means that we are becoming aware of who we are. We don't know ourselves.
When we are born, we don't receive a life manual; we receive a legacy on how to live. So the only manual we receive is the legacy of history, culture, society, humanity, and we are living within this legacy, within this inheritance. Our lives are as envious, ambitious, anxious, worried, distressing, conflicted, full of fear, desires and contradictions as the lives of our ancestors were. Our lives are like their lives and the lives of those who came before them. Then, we are the history of humanity. That's the legacy.
Thus, our actions are grounded in time. Time is the past. There is no time without the past, without the idea of the present, without the idea of the future. There is no history without the past. So, the past shows itself now as the present, and will show itself tomorrow as the future, but it still remains the past. That's how we've lived, that's how we're living, that's how they lived. That's the portrait of humanity.
So, psychologically, we are all of humanity, every human being who has ever set foot on this planet. Our psychological condition is the same. Today our psychological condition... Psychologically speaking, we are like the men who were here ten thousand years ago, five thousand years ago, two thousand years ago. The violence, the fear, the suffering, the ignorance, the failure to understand the Truth about who we are here, at this moment, was also with them yesterday or decades or centuries ago.
See that. We are working with you here to put an end to the illusion of this condition of human consciousness. This is what we have called here on the channel of the human consciousness, the consciousness of the “I,” all this psychological inheritance of being someone who walks through this effort, this struggle, this attempt to stop being in order to Be. It is possible that we will experience improvements, undergo changes, and transformations. We've already undergone some transformations over the centuries, but these are changes and transformations in the realms of science, mathematics, physics, chemistry and technology, but internally we're still the same.
We have lived in suffering, we are living in suffering, continuing to suffer because we haven't solved this here, because we don't know ourselves. So, there's this whole movement of struggle to become someone other than who we are. But here we are telling you that we don't need to be different from who we are, we just need to become aware of the Truth of who we are, of what we show ourselves to be because what we show ourselves to be is the apparent truth of what we are.
Becoming aware of this model of egoic identity, of human culture, going beyond this sense of the “I,” the ego, going beyond this condition of human consciousness towards a new Consciousness, towards the Awakening of Real Life – not this condition of illusory identity in this “I was,” “I am” and “I will be.” “I'm not happy with what I am, I've never been happy with what I was, but one day I'll be happy with what I will be, with what I will become,” this is all within an ideological formulation, something supported by a set of conclusions and beliefs, something established by thought. Thought which, by the way, is everything that is still part of what comes from the past and, therefore, it can't be real, it's just another fantasy of thought – this idea of coming to be, of becoming, of achieving. Are you with me?
So, all forms of self-improvement, personal enhancement, personal refinement, all this is still part of an old education or conditioning, it's just an adjustment of the old. Then, we don't have something new when there's a transformation on this level because it's just an adjustment. We need something radical, we need the end of the “I,” the end of the ego, the end of this sense of separation and therefore of this particular life in this principle of duality, where there is this “I and life,” “I and the other,” “I and the world,” “I and human culture,” “I the human consciousness.” In fact, “I the human consciousness” is one thing, “I and humanity” is one thing, “I and this – so-called – life,” as thought idealizes, is one thing. You need to go beyond this condition of duality, illusion and separateness.
Our proposal here for you on this channel is to approach the Truth of Self-Awareness and the Realization of your Being through the Truth of Real Meditation in a practical way. We have a playlist here on the channel explaining what it means, how to work with it, how to make it something real in your life right now, so that this so-called “my life” can be understood.
In this Real context, this particular life is a fraud. All we have present is the Divine Reality, the Reality of God, the Reality of Truth, the Reality of What is outside the known, and this dimension free from psychological time, which is this model of thought, culture, human history and egoic life as we know it; this disappears into this Real Life free from this sense of duality, of separation. So, we have the Truth of what we are when the sense of this “I” that we seem to be, that we show ourselves to be, which is all this inheritance of human consciousness, is no longer present. Do you get that?
Thus, to have an approach to the Truth of your Being is to have an approach to the Truth of who the other is, of what life is. This is the end of the psychological condition of thinking, feeling, acting in this model, in this unconsciousness, in this program of dissatisfaction with what is here, projecting a becoming, a becoming different from this. By becoming aware of the Reality of what IS, of what is here, it is possible to put an end to it.
So, understanding what IS requires an investigation, a study of yourself, an understanding of yourself, an understanding of this movement, which is the movement of separation, of duality, which is the movement of the “I.” Then, the vision of what IS is the understanding, and when there is this understanding, what IS undergoes a radical, profound and true transformation. Not a superficial, partial change, as the ego usually has in mind to do through some technique, through some self-discipline, through some so-called “spiritual” practice. We're talking about something else here.
We're talking about this science of the movement of the “I” itself. This is present when there is this Full Attention on all this movement. This Mindfulness to the movement of the “I” is the science of what IS here and now. When there is no longer this separation to try to change, alter or do something with what IS, when there is no longer this movement of the future, which is only a movement of projection of one's own thought in this idea of a psychological time, if this is no longer present, what IS undergoes a radical and profound alteration. It is when this vanishes that we have the Revelation of Something new, outside of time, outside of the known, outside of the “I,” outside of the ego, outside of this history – this history of human consciousness.
This is the Awakening of your Being, the Awakening of this new Consciousness. This new Consciousness is, actually, the Awakening of Real Consciousness. We use the expression “new Consciousness” as a synonym for Real Consciousness. The unique Divine Reality is the Reality of this Consciousness. When this Consciousness is present, there is no longer a sense of an “I” that separates itself from the other, from life, which carries all this movement of unhappiness, restlessness and suffering. Then we have the Revelation of Happiness, Love and Freedom. I have called this here the Awakening of Intelligence; it is the Awakening of this Being, this Divine Truth.
So, in these meetings our purpose is to get closer to that. We have online meetings here on weekends – you have our WhatsApp link here to take part in these meetings that take place on weekends. In addition, we have face-to-face meetings and also retreats, where we can get closer to this work. Therefore, if this is something that makes sense to you right now, take the opportunity and leave your like, subscribe to the channel and write “Yes, it makes sense” in the comment here, OK? And see you. Thanks for meeting us and see you next time!
