You have noticed that we are working with you here on the channel regarding the Awakening of the Truth of What We bring. Therefore, we are working with you to end ignorance, the self-ignorance, the ignorance about ourselves. In general, human beings do not know themselves, we do not know ourselves.
Here we are with you investigating the question of the Awakening of Truth which we are, therefore, the Awakening of Wisdom. So, for questions like: “How to achieve Wisdom?” or “How to attain Spiritual Enlightenment?”, we are dealing with exactly the same thing when we are investigating the question regarding this “I” that we present ourselves to be, that we demonstrate ourselves to be in life.
So, we are going, here, within these few minutes, to look with you a little bit at the possibility of this encounter with the Truth, with the Truth that we are, with the Truth that we carry, and, therefore, with the Awakening of Wisdom – what some also call Spiritual Enlightenment –, the Truth of this Being that we are when this “being” that we present to be, that we put into life is no longer present.
We are investigating the Truth of what is. “What is” is what is presented here, at this moment. Every form of psychological disorder, every form of internal contradiction is present in the human being – fear, desire, ambition – every form of contradiction and conflict in our relationships, in our relationship with people, in our relationship with ourselves, in our relationship with life, all kinds of confusion are present due to ignorance. The fact that we ignore the Truth of what is, of what is showing itself here...
In general, we do not investigate the truth of the confusion, the fear, the desire, the contradiction, the conflict in our relationships. We haven't investigated this, so we don't have a direct contact with what is. Some believe that achieving Wisdom is something that becomes possible when we study, when we learn, when we strive hard towards an academic, bookish education. So, if we study books on psychology, religion, and philosophy, we will reach the “truth of wisdom” and this will represent a change in our lives, a radical transformation, a significant quality of life.
What will be the truth about the Awakening of Wisdom? Here we are telling you that Wisdom is something innate, once you pay attention to a direct understanding and to a study, not of books, but to the study of yourself, in this moment. The comprehension of what is shown to be for this person you believe you are, when you are in relationship with others, in relationship with yourself, in a direct relationship with thoughts that produce fear or desire.
Therefore, studying ourselves is what is really necessary for the Awakening of true Wisdom. In reality, without this understanding – which is the understanding of what you are, of how you are in this moment –, without this studying yourself, without the true vision of knowing yourself, studying yourself, which is the Truth of Self-Awareness, we are unable to have a direct understanding of who we truly are – who we are in what is shown here, in what we are.
Failure to understand this does not allow us to go beyond this condition. If there is fear, if there is envy, if there is jealousy, if there is confusion, if there is disorder, if there is suffering, if there is this presence of ignorance, the straight non-understanding of what it is does not allow us to go beyond that. Going beyond this means verifying the innate Reality of the Awakening of this Real Intelligence, this true Wisdom, which is something, which is part of That which we are; in fact, it is our Real Nature.
The non-awareness of the Truth of our Real Nature, which is Wisdom, which is Intelligence... When there is this Intelligence, when there is this Wisdom, there is Truth present, and the Truth is what shows itself beyond what it is. But we first need to get closer to what is, what is here, investigate it. Thus, it does not come through intellectual knowledge, it does not come through the study of psychology, philosophy, and religion. It comes through the Awakening of our True Nature when this identity that we are, which is the “I,” person, is no longer present. So, what is the nature of this “I”? What is the nature of this person?
Note that our actions, as well as our feelings, emotions, our relationship with the world, our relationship with life, with ourselves, are always based on past experiences. So, when we go through experiences, we acquire these experiences, they become part of our memory, of all this formation that we bring, that we have, and, therefore, that we manifest here and now. So, the truth of what we manifest is the truth of what is in that moment. The idea of changing this, of altering this, of modifying this, of transforming this, based on an intellectual formation, through an intellectual study of books, doesn't work, because we are, once again, bringing into this experience our culture of accumulating even more information.
We have many pieces of information stored, we already have a lot of knowledge saved because we have already been through many experiences, we have been involved in all forms of religious and spiritual practices, we have read many books and, despite this, what we demonstrate to be at this moment continues to be that person. Dissatisfied with this person, we are still believing that, by acquiring more – that is, more information, more experience – we will one day, at some point, experience a change.
We cannot have the Truth that is beyond what is showing itself here by having as a principle an idea of fulfillment in the future for it, based on this principle, because we are only moving within a psychological condition of time. Let's deal with this now.
Psychologically we believe in time: “I am this, but I will be that tomorrow;” “Fear is here, but tomorrow I will be free from fear;” “Envy is here, but tomorrow I will be free from envy;” “I just need to study more.” To study what more? “More about envy”; “I need to study more about the issue of violence, because I intend to stop being violent”; “I need to study more about the issue of love, I need to discover how to love. I'm still not loving enough, but tomorrow I will achieve that. So, I need to study more about this issue of love.”
And all we have done in this idea of tomorrow is put this concept that we will go beyond this if we learn more about it in books or by putting ourselves in a condition of effort, discipline, and ordering for a new pattern of behavior. Note that this has not worked, because it is always the old movement of the “I,” of the person, of the experiencer itself, maintaining its continuity in this illusion that one day, making use of time, one will obtain this result.
Here the point is that this time is the time created by thought – the time of an ideal, of an objective, of a purpose. Is this the way to really eliminate fear, envy, violence, and the absence of love from us? Everything we know as love is something else. The love we know carries another side of it, which is jealousy, spite, emotional dependence. Naturally, this “love” that carries this other side cannot be the Love we are dealing with here.
We are talking about the Truth of Love, That which is present when the sense of “I,” of the ego, is no longer there. Therefore, all that the experiencer, which is the “I,” the ego, can do is to make superficial changes, to adjust to the new model, to a model of simplicity, of humility, of love, of non-violence, of courage, as absence of fear, and so on. So, what the experiencer can do is, facing what it is, create changes.
Here we are showing to you the beauty of going beyond that which is, to a deep, meaningful and radical transformation of all of this, which represents the end of the “I,” the end of the ego, the end of this experiencer. This is the end of this, for something entirely different from all this, entirely unknown to this old, old model, which is the model of the “I,” the ego, this ignorance, this illusion.
Thus, the Awakening of Wisdom is the awareness of the Revelation of Something that is beyond the “I,” the ego, the experiencer. This experiencer is the center of its particular experiences, so our relationship from this center will always be a relationship where the principle of separation will be present. The separation is between “me and you,” “me and the other,” “me and the world,” “me and sadness,” “me and fear,” “me and pain.” I refer to this psychological pain, for example, of loneliness, of frustration, of fear. If this is present, we do not have the Truth of Wisdom, the Truth of Revelation of That which is beyond this condition, which is the personal condition of being someone in life, in living.
For this to become possible, we have to go beyond this notion of time of “I am and I will be.” We always have the idea of becoming, of coming to be, of achieving, of obtaining, of accomplishing, this is how we place the notion of the future. So, this idealism is something created by thought. Thought supports this idea of “someone changed,” “someone transformed,” “someone different.” That “someone” is me, so, “I am this, but tomorrow I will be that.”
Realize the illusion we find ourselves in when we are within this formulation of ideas, of beliefs: “So I was, I am, and I will be.” What is the truth of this “I,” this experiencer? It is a set of stored experiences; therefore, it carries a center; it is the experiencer with its experiences, which it has already gone through, and it is keeping that, cultivating that, and maintaining the continuity of its experiences.
At every moment in life, we always come across something new. Life is an always new challenge, but the way we have to approach life at that moment – and here life is the relationship with others, the relationship with feeling, the relationship with thought, with an emotion, with a sensation, with a way of perceiving in that moment –, when faced with this challenge, we are always with the old present. This old that is present is the experiencer, the “I,” the ego.
So, this way, we are always faced with what is without being aware of it here and now, without being aware of this movement, which is the old movement of the “I” absorbing this present moment already within the principles that the “I,” the ego, the experiencer already has. So, we are working here with you, showing you the possibility of going beyond this condition, which is the ego condition, and this becomes possible when you investigate the nature of the “I,” the nature of the ego.
Thus, the basis for this vision is the understanding of the movement of thought, feeling, emotion, and perception, here, in this moment. This requires the Truth of an approach to Self-awareness and true Meditation in an experiential, practical way, for contact with Life at that moment, without this sense of “I,” of the ego, of the experiencer. Here on the channel, there is a playlist to investigate this: The Truth of Self-Awareness and True Meditation in an experiential, practical way.
For this purpose, we also have online meetings here on weekends, to investigate this subject with you. You can find our Whatsapp link here in the video description to participate in these online meetings on weekends. In addition, we have face-to-face meetings and also retreats. If what you just heard is something that makes sense to you, go ahead and leave your “like” here and subscribe to the channel. OK? And we'll see you! Thanks for the meeting and see you soon!
