Anxiety and depression | How to deal with injustice | Mindfulness and Stoicism | Ramana Maharshi

Here in these meetings, we've been considering various issues with you because they concern this fundamental change that is necessary in our lives since we don't understand the reality of life as it actually is. Notice: there are two very important aspects to investigate here. The first is the life we know, and the second is Life as it really is.

Life as it is differs from this life we know since this life we know is the life where we have to investigate these issues, the issues of problems, confusion, disorder, suffering, these various aspects of the personality present in this condition, where this life is present within this pattern, within this format.

So here, we've been investigating this matter of the Awakening of Consciousness with you. Notice: there are several issues we must investigate and we have deliberately returned to them time after time after time.

Because, in general, at first, our approach is not a clear approach, even because our approach is an intellectual approach, already within a conditioned intellect format, which is the intellect that we have, that we know. And approaching these subjects requires more than an intellectual approach, of words and verbal information.

Notice: there is a difference between understanding something and comprehending it. For example, you can understand how an aircraft flies. You study the laws of aerodynamics and learn how an airplane sustains itself in the air during flight. That's because you've studied the laws of aerodynamics. So, you know what an airplane flies like, how it holds itself up in the air. And yet, despite understanding this, knowing this, you are not a pilot.

A pilot requires knowledge that is not just theoretical, knowledge of the law of aerodynamics. A pilot has knowledge beyond that. It's not theoretical, bookish, verbal, or intellectual knowledge. They have an experiential approach to how that machine works, how an aircraft works in practice.

So, you can theoretically know a lot about aviation, a lot about the science of flying, theoretically, intellectually. You may even know how to give lessons on the subject, and all you can communicate in those lessons is a theoretical, intellectual, verbal knowledge of the subject. None of this makes you a pilot, someone who can fly an aircraft.

Thus, there is a difference between understanding something and having a direct comprehension of it. You understand what it's like to bake a cake when you have a recipe. You know all the ingredients, you know how long the dough has to rest, you know the cooking time, the baking time, the preparation time for that cake, and yet you've never made it.

It's one thing to directly understand what the cake is, how to make the cake, but it's another thing to have an understanding of how to make a cake, the ingredients that a cake has, and all kinds of knowledge about making that cake.

So, in practice, experientially, you can comprehend something; intellectually, you can understand that. Here, when we deal with you about the Realization of the Truth of That Which Is You in Your Essential, Real Nature, we are not talking about understanding, about an approach of words, of concepts, of ideas.

We've been trying that for many years. People have read a lot about it. So much so that when you come across this channel and start listening, the feeling you get is that there's nothing really new being said here. And, in fact, you're right.

As far as language, speech, words or expressions are concerned, all of this is easy to recognize. However, we are addressing the truth of a direct approach with you, not of the understanding. You already have the understanding, you've read many books, you know the subject, you know the subject.

Where is this knowing, this knowledge? In the intellect. And this intellect in us has a formation. This formation is what I've called intellectual conditioning. So, we have an intellectual conditioning, in other words, a psychological conditioning, of this subject and of various other subjects, as well as several other conditions in which we are psychologically living.

When we talk about the importance of Self-Awareness, we're talking about taking a fresh look at this psychological condition of being someone, in this pattern of conditioned intellect, of conditioned mind, where work is needed in practice because we already have theory, people already have it. The books deal with theory, the religious books, the sacred books, the lectures we've already heard, the ones we keep hearing, all this gives us, intellectually, a greater collection, a better understanding, but all this remains at the level of the intellect.

Look how important it is for us to have a new vision here, a new look at all this. The beauty of a meeting like this is that we are showing you how the end of psychic suffering becomes possible in this life. That's right: the end of all forms of psychological suffering.

We have, for example, the issue of anxiety and depression. You see, these are psychological states linked to this condition of the identity of the “I,” of the egoic identity. No matter how much you’ve read or studied about the subject, it remains at an intellectual, theoretical, verbal level. None of this can rid you of this psychological condition. That’s because there is no direct understanding by listening to lectures or hearing others talk about it.

We need to have direct contact with this psychological condition in which the “I,” the ego, finds itself, in this particular life of the “I,” of the person. So, looking directly at these states: anxiety, depression, or anguish. People suffer. Suffering is present in each of us as human beings, in this life, in this particular life of the “I.”

“How to deal with injustice?” There is pain present when you suffer an injustice. What is this injustice? Who is this element in us that suffers from being wronged, from being rejected, from not being accepted, from not being understood, for breaking the contract with it? Who is this element here that suffers from boredom, loneliness, anguish, fear, anxiety, or depression?

There are countless conflicting internal states present in this condition of life, which is the life of the “I,” which is the life of the ego. This is not a matter for stoicism to resolve, nor for psychology to solve. It's important to say that.

We have been looking for different ways to find an answer to this condition of being a person, an “I,” an ego, someone present, which we are, and we are looking for a solution to this, in different ways. Therefore, we must have a look here, right now, at this condition in which we find ourselves. We have to figure out how to deal with it directly, not with theories, within stoic philosophy, psychology, within a theological vision, that is, religious.

This is a matter for each of us. We need to learn to become aware of the movement of this “I,” to know ourselves, to understand the movement of thought, to become fully aware of this movement of the “I,” which is the movement of the person. This requires the presence of a gaze at this instant, where we have attention for all this internal movement, which is the movement of consciousness. So, this Full Attention on all this movement here, at this instant.

So, the subject of this Mindfulness, of this direct gaze, is not a subject for theology or philosophy. It's a matter for each of us to discover what Mindfulness is. It's not in stoicism, it's not in philosophy, it's not according to psychology, it's not according to this or that system, technique or practice.

Discovering what Mindfulness is: a direct, clear, simple look, without the commitment of this internal movement of this element that looks from separation, from division, which is this observer, which is the “I.” Note that when you look at something, you look from a place. That place is the place of conclusion, evaluation, acceptance, rejection, liking or disliking.

Notice that we spend a lifetime involved in this model of being someone. Thus, in dealing with life as it happens, we are always evaluating from this observer. This explains these states of conflict and present suffering. This is present because there is this pattern of separation, where there is this rejection of that which is present here at this moment.

We need to investigate in ourselves, here and now, all this movement of thought, feeling, emotion, perception, the way we feel and think and, of course, the way we proceed in life. Learn to look without the observer.

We have several videos here on the channel showing you that this observer is the element that separates itself from experience in order to evaluate, to compare, to judge, to reject what is present here. So, these frames of suffering in the “I,” in the ego, are always arising and we don't know how to deal with it.

The sage of Arunachala, called Ramana Maharshi, showed us that, through Atma Vichara, that is, this gaze in Full Attention, note, in this total, complete attention, on all this movement of the “I,” there is a direct understanding of “who I am.” Ramana Maharshi called this Atma Vichara. Learning to become aware of the very movement of the consciousness of this “me,” this person.

Thus, we are here together exploring this with you, going deeper into this subject with you, discovering how to go beyond this psychological condition, where the sense of a person is present. That person is the one who, in life, you see as separate and having a particular life.

Notice, Life has this aspect, as it is. But the “I” element, the ego, this “me,” this person, brings to this Life the idea of a particular life, which, when faced with what happens, always has an internal disposition of egocentric evaluation, in that like, dislike, accept, reject. So, suffering is established, conflict is established.

Conflict and suffering is something present in the ego, not in Life. It's in the life of the “I,” not in Life. This life of the “I” is this life centered on this format of being someone. The human being is living in an artificial condition of life because they are living this unnatural artificiality of being someone, where you see this separation between Life as it happens and this element in conflict with it.

Here on this channel we are investigating this with you, going deeper into it. Once we are free of this psychological condition, we are free of suffering: real life. Our subject here is the blossoming of this Natural State of Being, which some call Spiritual Enlightenment or Spiritual Awakening.

So, that's our subject here with you on this channel and also on our other channel, called “Marcos Gualberto.” You can find the link to our other channel here in the video description.

Also, and much more importantly: we have online meetings that take place on weekends. Saturday and Sunday together, we sit down and investigate these issues through questions and answers and by getting in touch with Meditation. Here in the description of the video, you also have the WhatsApp link to participate in these online meetings.

We also have face-to-face meetings and retreats. If you're here for the first time, you've just watched this video and it makes sense to you, leave your “like” here, subscribe to the channel and see you. And those of you who are already with us, leave a comment and the like too, OK? And see you next time. Thanks for the meeting!

Joel Goldsmith | Conscious Union with God | Overcome anxiety | Worries | Master Gualberto

GC: Hello everyone! We are here for another videocast. Master Gualberto is here with us again. Thank you very much, Master, for your presence.

Master, today I am going to read an excerpt from Joel Goldsmith’s book called “Conscious Union with God.” In an excerpt from this book, Master, Joel makes the following comment: “Following this path involves a willingness not to worry about life, the things you eat or drink, or what you will be wearing.” Within this theme, can the Master give us an answer on how to get rid of worries or how to overcome anxiety?

MG: So, Gilson, we have made several talks about subjects similar to the ones you are raising. That's why we have these meetings here, to investigate this.

The point is this, Gilson: there is a wrong way to deal with all of this. When, for example, we use expressions like: “How to overcome?” or “How to deal?”, “How to deal with thoughts?”, “How to overcome worries” or “How to overcome fear?”, the idea present in human beings – firstly, they start from a very mistaken principle, and this is exactly what supports this idea. The idea he makes, because of this principle he carries... he carries a principle within him, the human being: the idea that he is someone present here, at this moment, within a given experience. He carries this mistaken principle of a separate “I,” of an “I” separate from experience, separate from thoughts, from emotions, from sensations, from perceptions… separate from the world, separate from the other, separate from God… So, this is a principle. And there is an idea behind this principle, and the idea is that we can – if we can't, we must one day be able to – deal with the world that is separate from us. Dealing with thoughts that are separate from us... dealing with feelings, with experiences. And that’s why we ask questions like this: “How to overcome?” As if there was someone to overcome.

We want to solve the problem, but we don't want to investigate the nature of the problem. For us, the illusion is that solving the problem is overcoming the problem. But when you overcome one problem, there are a thousand more waiting for you ahead.

Here we have to review this. Who is this element for which problems appear? So, it's not about solving a problem or believing you have solved it because that problem has disappeared, it's about understanding that element for which problems arise. This element is this “I” that sees itself separate. It is this pattern of separation, this illusory pattern of being someone present here, within this situation that always puts us in the model of confronting the situation when it is unpleasant, when it is bad. So, when it's bad, we want to overcome it. When it's pleasant, we want to hold onto it. “We who? That element.

This principle of separation is an illusion, and this idea of ​​being able to manage this is part of that illusion. When you ask how to overcome fear, how to overcome anxiety, how to overcome jealousy, how to overcome anger, the idea is “me” and anger, “me” and jealousy, “me” and envy. We do not realize that the presence of envy is the presence of the “I.” The presence of anger is the presence of the “I,” of fear is the presence of the “I.”

Notice how very basic this is: when there is no anger, is there someone present in that experience? The experience of anger is someone present within the experience. But someone present within the experience of anger is anger! Without anger, there is no angry person. Without fear, there is no fearful one.

So, this is the real way, Gilson, to approach experience. And the real way is to no longer sustain this illusion of an experiencer for that given experience. Therefore, we need to know ourselves in this contact with the present moment, with what the present moment represents, shows us, presents; to be aware of this “me,” this “I.” When we are aware of this, we no longer maintain the illusion of this principle of separation. And, naturally, the illusion of this idea that we can control this. And when we give up that control, give up that idea of ​​separation, that experience undergoes a tremendous change. And it undergoes precisely because, at that moment, all the energy of consciousness is present to eliminate this separation that sustains this situation, which sustains, in this case, fear, anger, envy, jealousy, and so on. Now, what we are saying here, Gilson, is something that we need to discover in practice.

So, this may sound a little strange or very strange to you, because as long as you are within this model, which is an ancient model, which is a model of human history, of the human race – see, you are only 40 years old, but humanity has been around for millennia. Your parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, great-great-grandparents, they all lived in anger, in fear. All forms of fear were present in their lives. And everyone who came here before them carried that too. And here you are, thirty, thirty-five, forty years old, I don't know. Either you keep your life in the same model that they lived, that the mass, humanity is living, or you break with that, becoming aware of the Divine Truth, the Truth of this Real Being, this Divine Reality that is you outside of this “I,” outside this ego, outside this principle of separation. This requires an approach, Gilson, to oneself, with which human beings, with which the vast majority, are not interested at all. We are so distracted in achieving success, fame, the long-awaited encounter with love, with happiness, in material achievements – and some others in the so-called spiritual acquisitions, or picturing a future after death, a Divine future where no there will be more suffering – that people are not working on it right now. Some are on a spiritual quest and others on a material quest. Here is about becoming aware of the Divine Reality, here and now, and awakening from this dream, because all of this is within a dream.

All forms of human search are within a dream. And those who are simply looking for temporary relief from these internal states of unhappiness, in various forms of treatments or escapes, it's the same! We need to go beyond this sense of “I,” of the ego, otherwise we will continue within the same model of separation and, therefore, of suffering, within the same principle that human beings have been living for millennia. Therefore, we need, in fact, to awaken, to get out of this dream, this dream in materialism, this dream in spiritualism or spirituality, for what is present here and now, outside this condition. And that is what we are working with you here, showing you that, yes, it is possible to awaken, as some have already awakened. From time immemorial, throughout the history of humanity, men and women have awakened from their dreams. This is your moment to awaken from dream. What I've been saying, Gilson, you've already heard this countless times, it's your moment, it's not your father's moment, your mother's moment, your grandfather's moment, your grandmother's moment, your great-grandfather's moment, it's your moment to wake up! When there is this awakening something new is present, and what is present is Indescribable, it is Unnamable, it is the Reality of this Being that no longer suffers, that is no longer confused with this model of separation and, therefore, of confusion. That's it.

GC: Master, your speech is always very revolutionary. And something that I find very beautiful is that the Master takes away all external “walking sticks,” so that we can focus all this attention on ourselves, not to study sacred books or study any type of book, but to study ourselves; to look at every moment, every moment, at this madness of thoughts, this madness that has been perpetuated generation after generation. And the most impressive thing about this is that, in Satsang, in this sharing of Presence that the Master provides, every Satsang the Master is pushing us to look at ourselves, to look at this madness of thought, at this identification, at this madness of believing to be someone.

MG: Gilson, the point here, you see, is that when you have an intellectual formation regarding this Divine Reality, that intellectual formation is still conditioning. So, there is no point in being told that there is God, that there is a life completely different from this dream model of the world. There is no point in having theoretical, conceptual information about this. We get this in books, we find it in books. We understand and have knowledge of this and reach it by listening to lectures, but that doesn't solve it, you see? So, our insistence here is that you study what is happening inside you. Why, Gilson? Because the entire history of humanity is present in you. You are the whole human history! Everything that human beings have experienced throughout the history of humanity, this history of the human race, everything that is in the human race or that human beings have ever experienced is present in you. You are the result of all this! Resentment, hatred, violence, fear, jealousy, envy, ambition, anguish... also joy, pleasure, satisfaction, the moment of gratitude, everything is within you. So, you are the big book. You are the big book!

So, there is no point in, intellectually, trying to read the address. You know, when you have an address and you keep looking at the address all the time? If you are reading the address, you are not in the place, you are in the concept. It's like taking a recipe and reading the recipe. So, you won't get the food, the cake or the dish by looking at the recipe and reading it. And people are trying to do that. They want to discover God in the letter, in intellectual knowledge. They will become aware of the Divine Reality in themselves, if they discover what it is like to strip away the illusion of all this content of human conditioning, which gave formation to this ego-identity.

The point is this. So, there's no point in reading. Most people, Gilson, those who are here and now, you who are listening to me, how many books must you have read? A few dozen? A few hundred? Tell me, so what? Books can inspire us, they can cheer us up, they can excite us, but all of this is still at the ego level. An enthusiastic ego, an excited ego, an ego saying, “Now I can do it.” Can you do it “now,” when? Because we refer to the now and say: “I can do it” and push it to tomorrow. So, we are left with an ideation, a belief, a set of ideas.

Here, Gilson, it's about becoming aware of yourself, right now, here and now. Learning to deal with this “me,” with this “I,” with what it represents, without running away, without escaping, without theorizing. To study oneself, become aware of thought, emotion, sensation, perception. When someone praises you, observe your reactions, see how your ego inflates like a balloon, notice this affectation of that ego.

Also, when you are criticized, see how irritated, angry, upset you become. Despite all the spiritual books you've read about forgiveness, about love, and none of that solves it! Because the sense of ego is present. You have all the theory, but you don't have any experience of it. So, this theory is useless! (laughs) It's like someone who reads about how to drive a car: you won't drive a car by reading about it. You will never be able to drive a car by reading about how to drive a car. You will never learn what cycling is like by reading a book about it. Either you're on the bike working on this, or you'll never understand what it means to ride a bike. Or you will never discover what it is like to drive a car, or you will never discover what it is like to bake a cake by reading recipes. I just wanted to bring this addendum. Go ahead, I interrupted you. But we need to wake up, we need to be aware of this. Then, we are experiencing this, right now. We become aware of this, not in theory, but through experience.

GC: That's right, Master. It's impressive and ends up becoming very “simple,” but we just need to study ourselves. So, there is no longer any dependence on anything external, other than being constantly looking at this activity, this repetition of pattern, these thoughts. At this point, Master, we have a question here from Débora, she asks the following question: “I carry karmas from the past, I can't get out of it. I have guilt and a lot of remorse. Forgiving myself is difficult. Is that the ego?”

MG: So, we just put exactly that. This girl has probably already read a lot on the subject. We read, study, listen to lectures, talks, but none of this works, because we don't learn to come into direct contact with the experience of this image we create about who we are. We need, Gilson, to verify this here and now, in living, without any idea or concept about it. For example, now, we hear her saying and due to all the information she has, she is now loaded with guilt, because we have an ideal of how we should be, of how we believe we need to be. At the same time, we have an idea that we are not like that now. So, you see, we are not that now, but we have guilt or feel guilty, because we are not what we want to be. See, this is within this self-image. Much of the teaching we have is generating within us a sense of guilt-responsibility within an idealism, within the fantasy of “I should be.” I said just that: within a fantasy of what “I should be.” So, we stop being aware of what we are, what is here, for an ideal, a fantasy of how we should be. We stop looking at how we are feeling for an ideal of how we should feel. This, Gilson, is what takes us away from a direct observation of this study of ourselves.

So, we spend a lot of time in our lives busy with ideals, with projects, with beliefs, with formulas. This places us psychologically, idealistically, in an imaginary future produced by thought. What we need, Gilson, is to become aware of what we are right now, without separating ourselves from it. Without adding thought, which is this ideal of how we should be, how we could be. So, yes, we have the possibility of going beyond this condition. But the first thing here is to get rid of this self-image, a self-image that is supported by this guilt, this responsibility. Because we were told that we should forgive ourselves, we should forgive others. Why haven't they told us what we're putting here for you? That we need to become aware of who we are without creating this separation? This requires, Gilson, an approach to oneself, in which there is no longer this separation between what is being felt here and an image we have about how we should feel, of how it is true to feel. None of this is really important. With this we eliminate the psychological factor called “time.” We abandon this psychological time to deal with what is here. This requires approaching yourself from a new perspective.

So, the Truth of Self-awareness – here, Self-awareness is a look without the observer.

See, the word here “Self-awareness” is not – I always emphasize this to be clear. We do not use this word here in the sense that you will find there, in books. Self-awareness according to that specialist, according to that technique, according to that format, according to that teaching. No, here we are talking about the simple observation of this movement of feeling and thinking present here, without placing a present identity on it. It is much simpler, Gilson, to approach this, investigating this subject. We have several videos, hundreds of videos pointing out this. And we also have online meetings, directly, where we can work on this together. Becoming aware of what you are requires an end to this model of thinking. All these thoughts are thoughts, they are beliefs, they are formulas. We give up these formulas and start looking, without these formulas, at what is here.

Becoming aware of this is the end of this self-image. And when it ends, all of that disappears. That's the good news. This requires work on ourselves. OK?

GC: And as the Master commented, in these weekend meetings, in these weekend intensives called Satsangs, the Master dedicates the entire weekend, Saturday and Sunday, exactly to provide us with this self-investigation. And as the Master remains in this State of Presence, he ends up sharing this Silence. And then it's very beautiful, because in many moments something happens... and then it's indescribable. There is no way to put it into words, but in this Silence, in the Presence of the Master, it ends, problems end, duality ends, time ends, the desire to become something in the future ends. And it is truly unique to be able to be in Satsang with the Master and dive into this field of Presence that the Master is.

MG: Gilson, the model of time is the model of thought. Here we need to have an approach to the end of time, because Reality is present here, at this moment. The Reality of That which is present here puts an end to this illusion that is shown here as being a separate entity with its conflicts, dilemmas, problems, suffering, fear, desires, anxiety, depression... This is all part of this false center, illusory, which is present here because of this time, this psychological model of time.

When we access the Reality of That which is present now, there is an annulment of this psychological movement of time. That’s why this condition of this “me,” this “I,” this ego disappears, since it is sustaining itself within a model of time constructed by thought. In this time constructed by thought, we have self-image, we have this model of separation, of duality.

Some have this question, but it's strange! When we are in Satsang, something happens, as you just said and as you always say. And that's interesting, why does this happen? This is because time ends. There is no room for this model of time to move, since this model of time is a model of thought moving. Reality is timeless. It is not in time. It is not part of the known movement of thought. This movement of known thought, where time is present, this model of psychological time, is a distressing model of an identity with its problems. But this identity with its problems is a false identity. Your Real Nature, Gilson, the Truth about all of us is that there is not all of us, there is only one Real Nature present here, and That is the end of this “me,” this “I,” this “us” with everything that this represents. It is something unspeakable, indescribable, it is the absence of the known. It is the nature of That which is nameless, indescribable, which is the Reality of Love, Peace, Freedom, Happiness... This is God Realization. Or this is the Truth of God taking over His space right now, OK? That's what happens.

GC: Ok, Master, our time has come to end. So, gratitude for this videocast. For those of you who are watching the video, leave a “like,” make a comment, you can ask us questions for the next meetings, for the next videocasts. And, above all, if you have a sincere yearning to really study yourself, give yourself the opportunity to participate in these intensive weekend meetings. It's the entire Saturday and Sunday, where we have the freedom to ask direct questions to the Master, live. And the Master guides us by sharing this Presence, this Silence; something that is beyond words happens, which shows us that everything the Master says is much more than just words. It makes sense and it's real. So, here's the invitation. Master, gratitude for this meeting.

Anxiety, depression | How to deal with thoughts? | The conditioned mind | The end of self-image

Here we can break, notice, with everything that thought represents in our lives. I refer to this pattern of thought that moves, producing conflicts, producing problems. People live with different problems. We human beings are loaded with problems in life. These problems are located in the psychological condition in which we find ourselves. This condition is present because we do not know how to deal with thoughts.

People want to be free from anxiety and depression, for example, but the presence of these different conditions, these pathologies that human beings carry psychologically, is something that is present and is very intimate to this pattern, this model of thinking that we have, that we know. So, having a direct look at this movement, which is the movement of thought, how it works, and getting rid of it, is all we need.

Here we are telling you that the mind as we know it, that we are dealing with everyday, is the mind within the conditioned mind pattern. Thus, psychologically, we are programmed for a guided, thought-oriented model of life; for this thought that throws us into this format, where we feel like people living in relations, living in relationships.

The truth is that this sense of person we have is not real. Life is happening, but the sense of person is an apparition due to this pattern of thought that we receive from culture, from human history. This feeling of being someone separate, naturally special, because this is how the ego, the “I,” this “me” positions itself in life, is something artificial, it is not natural.

Relation with the present moment is relation with life, but it is life in life. There is no such thing as “I” in life, such a person in existence, such a personality in relationships. It is thought that has forged this, created this, sustained this. So, as people, as personalities, with this “I,” living in it, we are experiencing conflicting, distressing states of problems and suffering.

Here we are working with you, telling you that this is not your Natural State of Being. Your Natural State is the state free from this separation between you and life, between you and the other, between you and a thought that appears, a feeling that appears, an emotion that emerges due to a response at that moment.

When the brain reacts to any moment, to any event, situation, happening, to any challenge, when the brain reacts, it arises, it appears, but there is no one inside that cerebral experience. It's just the brain in function, it's just the brain in operation, it's just this mechanism, this body and mind in expression in life, without separation.

It is thought that has produced in you this sense of separation. And when it produces this, this feeling of “I,” this personality, this person, is in trouble, has problems. When a person offends you, hurts you, saddens you, see, sadness is present, hurt is present, anger is present, frustration is present. This is established as a rule and norm of existence due to the presence of the “I,” the ego.

What is happening at this moment is that there is the idea of ​​someone present, special, who sees oneself special and separate from what happens, being someone who is a victim of what occurs, of what happens. This separation feeds the idea of ​​someone who is not part of what happens, who is not part of what happens, who is not part of life. So, here is the conflict that this duality model sets up. Are we together?

Note that all of this is processed in an unconscious, mechanical way, with total unawareness of this entire process for all of us. We are just reacting, responding. Notice, a mechanical, unconscious reaction, which is established in a model of tradition, of human culture. So, this feeling of separation, of identity, of someone, who is this “me,” is unconsciousness.

When they call you by name, who are they calling by name? Follow this with me here. They are calling an idea, the idea you have about who you are. You have an image about yourself, a mental picture, a psychological photograph of the special person that you are, naturally.

The interesting thing here is this issue of “special” as well. We don't realize how special we are, for more or for less. We can be for less – this feeling of being special for less is very common. When someone feels low self-esteem, they are less special. He sees himself as different from everyone else, in this feeling of low self-esteem. And some feel more special, in this feeling of high self-esteem.

So, it is typical of the mind of “I,” the egoic mind, the egoic consciousness, to be unconscious, reacting to everything that happens within this self-image format, where we feel special for less or more. Once free from the ego, from the “I,” there is no more anxiety, depression, boredom, the pain of loneliness, guilt, fear. See, fear in its various forms of expression.

We here are seeing with you the end of this psychological condition of self-image, of the idea of ​​the “I,” of this “me.” There are countless psychological states for a person. Here we are, in this speech lasting just a few minutes, touching on just a few aspects, but here on the channel we have hundreds of videos going deeper into this with you and also about others; however, they are all centered on self-image, they are within that center, settled in this particular world of the “I,” of the ego, of this egoic consciousness.

It is interesting that we also say this to you here: we use the expression “consciousness” as if, in fact, we had any consciousness. See, our entire pattern of behavior is in this self-image, which is the image that the “I” has, makes of itself – this is how the brain in us has worked, is working within this unconsciousness –, and what we have called consciousness is the consciousness of the “I.”

We speak of an individual consciousness. Notice, what we have is a particular egoic consciousness, a consciousness that, as we have just seen, is moving within a pattern of repetition and reactive continuity of unconsciousness, and, therefore, suffers. Discovering this whole movement of the “I,” of the ego, of this “me,” which is the movement of thought, which is always reacting to the present moment from this self-image, the awareness of this is the end to this condition. Then, yes, the truth of the Revelation of real Consciousness is possible.

This so-called individual consciousness or the consciousness of the person is not consciousness. What there is, is this pattern or model of human consciousness, where everything that is present in everyone is present, this common unconsciousness. Here lies in each of us for thirty, forty or fifty years now, what has been in humanity for millennia: envy, jealousy, fear, anger, anguish, the pain of loneliness, boredom. And now this so-called anxiety or depression – every day a new name arises for these internal psychological states of unconsciousness in this “I.”

The reality is that this “I” is not real. The truth is that this “I” has no truth in itself. It's the feeling of being, it's the thought of being, it's the sensation of being. And how does this feeling arise? And how does this sensation arise? And how does this perception arise? By thought. Thought places the idea of ​​someone in sensation, of someone in perception, of someone present within experience, within what arises, within what happens. Follow this with me here.

A thought arises, it is a thought arising. I ask your name and you give me the answer. That answer is the brain that found it. It was stimulated, it received a trigger, a stimulus and brought the response. It sought the information and presented the information. This idea of ​​someone present in this brain movement, responsible for it, is an illusion. This volitional or voluntary act is an automatic, mechanical act that does not require the presence of a personal consciousness to do, and yet we are putting a personal consciousness into the idea of ​​a response.

What is your name? The name is said. The brain found the answer. The answer is being uttered through speech. The idea behind it is that there is someone responsible for this. You see, we have been educated to believe this, to be absolutely sure of this, of a separate, unique, special, present individuality that has a name. This is a response of memory, of remembrance, of history, of recollection.

If I ask you a question and there is no information, memory, record, then you have no answer. You have no answer because the brain cannot respond to something it doesn't know, that it doesn't have, that it can't access. Note, it is very important for us to have this understanding, because the sense of someone present is established exactly in thought, when a feeling is present, when an emotion is present, when a sensation is present. But sensation, thought or feeling is a response of this biological mechanism of this body, mind, to a given stimulus.

The idea of ​​being someone doesn't define absolutely anything, but we carry this feeling, the feeling of being the thinker of thoughts, the observer of the things we observe, of being the one who listens to the sound that is present. What will be the truth about this? It is here, in a very clear way: there is only what happens, and in what happens, and in what appears in that moment, as action and reaction, there is no this present element, which sees itself separate from life, in control of it, which can judge, evaluate, compare, resolve, solve situations.

See, situations arise and solutions are found. Whatever happens, happens and finds a way to end it. Everything that appears, disappears. Everything that appears, there comes a moment when it is no longer there. It's life happening. However, we are feeding the sense of someone present, who carries this illusory background of a person who likes or dislikes, who accepts or rejects, wants more or doesn't want, or wants less. Then, the sense of ego-identity is established, of the identity of a center around which life needs to happen the way it expects, the way it desires.

So, thought created the illusion of a present identity, which is the thinker, who feels responsible for thought. But it's not like that! There is only thought as a reaction. The thinker appears, a few seconds later, to say: “I can't keep thinking like that, that's wrong.”

So, the thinker has established this illusory special identity that feels low self-esteem or that feels high self-esteem. So, this identity is the identity of the “I,” this self-image, is the illusion of someone. This someone carries anxiety, carries depression. Here we are showing you the beauty of the end to this illusory identity.

Thus, having a direct look at Self-awareness is eliminating this movement, which is the movement of the thinker, the experiencer, the observer. We are working on this here together when we end this notion of psychological time. So, thus, we have an encounter with the truth of what we are when there is an end to this psychic suffering, when there is an end to this illusion of this illusory consciousness, this so-called individual consciousness, for the awareness of what we are.

So, this is our topic here with you on this channel and also on our other channel called “Marcos Gualberto.” You have the link here in the video description to check out the other channel. Additionally, we have online meetings that take place on weekends. Saturday and Sunday, we are together delving into this subject here with you. So, through questions and answers, in this contact with Silence, we work on this. Here is the WhatsApp link, ok?

In addition, we have face-to-face meetings and also retreats. If this is something that makes sense to you, leave your “like´” here and subscribe to the channel, ok? And we'll see each other. Thanks for the meeting and see you soon!

Self-Awareness and life project | Importance of Self-Awareness | Anxiety and depression

It's interesting to tell you here that, in general, people are looking for a project for their lives. Here, I want to discuss this topic with you. Let's look at it very closely. When people talk about a life project – and one detail: linking this to the issue of Self-Awareness – there is confusion here. The first is that we don't know what life really is and yet we idealize a project for this life. We don't know what our life is because, basically, we don't know ourselves. We don't know the Truth about who we are and still we have a plan for the life of this person we believe we are. Secondly, we have the idea of ​​Self-Awareness as, perhaps, a possibility of knowing something about ourselves that helps us, that makes it easier for us.

Thus, Self-Awareness is a tool, in people's minds, for them, as people, to improve and carry out the projects they have in life. Here I have some things to say to you in this meeting: no matter how accomplished you are today as a person, or as you may become as a person tomorrow, none of this represents the Truth of That which is you, in your true and Real Being. This is what we work on here on this channel, we are telling you that the Truth of What you are is not something within what is achievable or obtainable through a project. So, you accomplish anything in life, but this will always be within your particular life and in this format of a project idealized by you in thought, while the Truth of what you are is not something in this known life and achievable or attainable by thought.

Here, we are talking to you about Divine Realization, the Realization of God. Nothing you achieve, obtain, attain, accomplish will actually make you happy. Observe the idea we have about happiness: it is something that is found, that someone finds, that someone obtains, that someone achieves. Note this, no one would be interested in a life project if it weren't to be happy. So, at first, this idea of ​​carrying out a project is to be happy, and here we are saying that this idea of ​​being happy in this life project idealized by thought is a mistake. The idea is a mistake, this “being happy” is a mistake. This notion of being happy is something linked, connected to achievements over time. Then, when are people happy? When they accomplish something, when they obtain something, when they carry out a project and it materializes. They have the project, the desire, the yearning or the dream of getting married, of achieving a different social position than the one their parents had, for example.

So, the pursuit of power, wealth, fame, success, all of this is the picture, the painting of happiness for the person. However, all this comes and goes, all this is what is here now and then is no longer. You are happy the day you get married, you are happy the day you pass the exam, you are happy the day you earn your first million, you are happy the day you buy your first car, you are happy the day you get engaged, you are happy the day you have your first child… but it’s only on that day! In fact, it is only in those minutes when the thing, the event, the situation, the episode is happening. Then, you reach a climax and after that peak, that happiness drops down; That's what we call happiness: happy moments, but moments come and go. Some may last for a few hours, a few days, apparently a few weeks, but then it dries up, because we live – notice – within an internal psychological condition, and this internal psychological condition in which we live is what determines the states in which we find ourselves.

So, we need to look closely at all of this, see all of this clearly. Here we are telling you that, yes, this Truth of the Realization of Happiness is possible in life, but it is in life where there is no project, dreams, ideals, or desires. The truth is that only one thing can really make you happy. What can make you happy is the Awareness of your true Nature. Only the Awareness is what brings you the recognition of That which is you, at this instant. An important detail: it is in this instant, but it is not an instant that immediately after has another instant and that then has another instant, we are talking about the Reality of That which is present now. Thus, the expression here “now” is in this sense. Divine Truth is Happiness, it is not satisfaction – notice – it is not fulfillment, it is not gratification, it is not accomplishment, it is not what comes as a result of something that is achieved, that is obtained, that is conquered.

The Awakening of Consciousness, Spiritual Awakening, Spiritual Enlightenment, I have called it the “Natural State”, this true Being that is you, free from the illusion of that “you” that thought says it is you… that has a life and that in this life you need to undertake, idealize, design, program, create a project and go in search of the accomplishment of that project, in this particular life. Here it is about the Divine Reality that is present at this moment, which is Completeness, which is Happiness, which is Freedom, which is Love. We need to look at this, become aware of this, understand this. Love is not what thought says to be love, Happiness is not what thought says to be happiness. Here we need to look closely, have a new look at this Truth of what we are. Thus, the expression “Self-Awareness” is not a tool for a life project, Self-Awareness is the awareness of the revelation of the illusory identity, which is the identity of the “I,” of this person, who always carries this dissatisfaction, this insufficiency, this insecurity, this fear, this expectation of attaining in something the happiness you dreamed of, the objective, the purpose of your life.

So, we are with you working on the importance of Self-Awareness. It is essential to learn to look at what is happening here, right now. Everything we do in life is to obtain, in life or from life, something that can make us happy. And here, with you, we are working on this, saying that Happiness is something present here, and not something that is separate from life now, at this moment. However, the Awareness of this requires the absence of illusion about who we are. Observe the world, observe people… Human beings live in anxiety, in depression. How to deal with this? How can we resolve this issue of this anxiety, this suffering present in this form of fear? Depression, anxiety, worry about the past or the future, all of this is within what fear represents; and if this is present, there is pain present, there is suffering present.

Then, we can idealize an end to it when something happens to us in the future. So, these projects are always for later. Notice how we work: we build a house, it takes a few months or a few years; we go to college, it takes a few years before you graduate; when you plan a wedding, you plan in advance and it takes a few months or maybe a few years. It seems that everything we accomplish in life is in time, and here we are talking about life free from exactly this notion, which is the notion of time. Thus, Happiness is a life outside of time, Happiness is not something that happens in time. This life to accomplish something is the life that thought projects, idealizes and plans. See how important it is for us to understand this here. Everything we have called life, which is located in this time, is something that thought is projecting. So, this life and this time are the same thing. Everything you need time to accomplish in life – this life or the fulfillment of this life – is tied to that time. your Real Nature, your Divine Nature is not like that, which is the Truth of God, this is not in time.

Thus, we are dealing with life that we do not know, which is the life outside of thought, understand that. We have the life that thought projects and we have the life that thought does not reach, that it cannot reach. That's what we're talking about here with you, in these meetings. This life that thought cannot reach is the life where Happiness is. This is the Revelation of your Being, which is not in this dream of time and life, as thought has constructed. Can we eliminate time as a factor for Happiness? So, we eliminate thought and we eliminate this notion of life where this happiness will one day be found. In humanity, notice, in our human culture, everything happens in time. A direct look at the Truth of this Being, which is the Divine Truth we are at this moment, this Reality here and now, is not in time. And that's the Truth of Happiness; If this is present, there is no suffering, there is no anxiety, depression or any form of fear.

So, in these meetings here, we are approaching with you the end to anxiety and depression and all forms of fear; the end to this illusion, the illusion of Happiness being found in time. We are addressing with you here, working on with you the Truth of Spiritual Enlightenment, of Divine Realization. Then, this is the subject we are working on here with you, on this channel and also on our other channel called “Marcos Gualberto.” Here in the video description, you have our link to check out our other channel. And, in addition, we have meetings, which are our online meetings that take place on weekends. Thus, Saturday and Sunday we are investigating this together, working on this with you, through questions and answers we can deepen this. OK? In addition, we have face-to-face meetings and also retreats. If this is something that makes sense to you, here is the invitation, go ahead, leave your “like” here, subscribe to the channel, and write it down here in the comment: “Yes, it makes sense.” OK? And we'll see each other. Thanks for the meeting and see you next time.

Anxiety and depression | Psychological conditioning | The conditioned mind | Psychological time

As long as the idea of ​​this separation between life, life happening, and the idea of ​​someone here, in life, in this format remains present in us, contradiction, separation, duality and, therefore, every form of conflict, of problems, of disorder and suffering will remain.

We are here with you, taking a new look at this approach to life. So, approaching life by addressing its reality requires us to investigate this fundamental matter, which is the matter of the “I,” the person you see yourself as in life, how you represent it to yourself.

Your way of looking at the present experience is from someone in the experience. When you look at something, you look at it from this you. That seems natural and yet an illusion is present, and we are not aware of the presence of this illusion and that’s why we remain ignorant.

What is being seen is being seen by someone – at least that's the idea we have. Actually, we have the presence of the looking, of perceiving, of this seeing. You see, this is something that is present, indeed, in experience. In fact, this is the experience. However, we don't have an observer who is separate and apart from this observation. Note, this is where separation, duality, is present.

When you see something, there is an observation. However, psychologically, this “you” doesn't exist. We spend a lifetime in this confidence, this security, this certainty, this conviction. It's a belief: the existence of an entity present in the experience being the experiencer, being the observer, separate from what is being observed, from what is being experienced.

Look how simple it is, however, we don't get it, we don't perceive it. And it becomes fundamental for us to have an understanding of this. Observation requires the presence of one single reality here. We don't have two parts in the observation. Look how simple it is: observation is observation. We are the ones who have divided observation between the observer and the thing observed: that’s the separation.

Before a sound, there is only the listening, but we put one element to listen and another element to produce the sound. You see, we are facing one single phenomenon from a psychological viewpoint. From a psychological viewpoint, there is only the experience, there is no experiencer; there is only observation, there is no observer; there is only listening, there is no one listening.

And why is the understanding of that fundamental to ending all the disorder, confusion, suffering and problems we have? Because this is the end of this illusory presence of the ego, of the “I,” of this “me,” in life, here and now.

How to deal with anxiety and depression? See, that's one question, but we have several other questions as well: how to deal with fear, with the conflict that desires establish in our lives?

Note that all these internal states of problems we have within ourselves, and also present in our relationships with the world, with each other, with everyone around us, all this is present because of this illusion, the illusion of this center, this “I,” this ego, this element that separates itself and moves through life in an egocentric way, always centered on itself.

So this entity, which is the “I,” the “me,” the ego, is living in this duality, in this separation, in this self-centeredness. This sustains confusion. Ambition, envy, jealousy and fear are present. Every psychological disorder in us is reflected in our relationships. Then, this particular life of the “I,” this particular life of the person, of this personality, is the life of problems, it's the life of confusion, it's the life of disorder, it's the life of suffering.

People don't perceive that, psychologically, they are seeing themselves as entities, as particular people, with particular lives and moving particularly in this self-centeredness. They don't perceive it. We don't perceive it. We have an anxious mind, a chatty mind, a worried mind.

All these different inner states we know, and we know very well, are something that we've been dealing with for thirty years, forty, fifty, sixty years. If you're ninety, you've been dealing with it for ninety years. However, this is not new. This is human history, the history of humanity. For millennia, human beings have been living in this sense of the “I,” of the ego, of this “me” and, therefore, in this condition of separation. A separation, I repeat, psychological separation from life, the introduction of this psychological pattern into existence, into life.

Life as it happens is what it is. However, psychologically we are introducing into life, because of this format established by thought, by feeling, by emotion, by the particular form of sensation, of perception of this center, this illusory center, this particular center, this false center, which is the “I,” this internal movement of this consciousness, which is this movement of thought in life.

So, we have that which is present here as being what it is: that's what the life of the “I” is constituted. Then, what is the life of the person? That's what it is. And what is that? Problems, suffering, the issue of anxiety, depression, anguish, the various forms of fear present.

Can we discover life free of all that? Life as it really is, without this pattern that the conditioned intellect, that the egoic mind has constituted as being what is shown, what is presented. So, what presents itself is actually what it is for the “I,” for the “me,” for the ego. We can go beyond that which is, by discovering real life as it actually is when the “I,” the ego, is not present.

So, in these encounters, the work consists of becoming aware of this pattern of being someone, of what it is, looking at this. That's when the Truth reveals itself. Then the mind, our mind, as we know it, as we are living, needs to be seen. The mind needs to become aware of its own movement, its own way of acting, of operating, of functioning because it is producing this particular condition of life for this “me.”

Once the mind begins to become aware of itself, conscious of itself, it is possible for something new to emerge. A direct understanding of the mind requires a look where the mind becomes aware of itself, conscious of itself, of all its own movement. At that instant, the mind silences and this pattern of duality, of separation, is undone.

Then we are left with life really happening as it is, without this element, which is the “I,” the ego, getting involved with it. Then we have the end to this psychological condition of being someone, seeing oneself as separate from life, because at that moment the Silence of the absence of the egoic mind is established. In that Silence, the Divine Truth is revealed, which is the truth of your real Being. So, follow along with me here.

The separation and duality format is something based on this psychological condition of being someone, due to the presence of thought moving within each one of us, within a process of psychological conditioning that has been repeated for millennia. Notice that this happens because of the absence of this attention to this movement of psychological conditioning.

That's what we're working on here with you, showing you that we need psychological deconditioning. We need to break the continuity of this model, where the thinker is the one who sees itself separate from thought, where the observer is the one who sees itself separate from the observed object, where the experiencer is the one who sees itself separate from the experience.

So, there's an end to this psychological condition of this sense of the “I,” of the “me,” of the ego. We have a new brain, a free mind. Your whole Being is present in that unique and real Presence, without any separation. We are no longer living in a particular psychological condition, from an egocentric center that moves in this conditioned thought, in this conditioned brain, in this conditioned mind, where there is all this mistaken notion of past, present and future.

Notice, all of this is part of the movement of thought within each of us. It's a pattern of conditioning. Looking at yourself and seeing yourself as someone who has come from the past, is living in this moment and moving towards the future, and keeping everything around you as part of an experience for the experiencer, something being seen by an observer.

Notice how important this is because thoughts are present, the feelings are present, and as long as there is this sense of duality, which is this “I,” thinking these thoughts, feeling these emotions, it will be within a particular vision, where it will be believing, where it will always be getting involved with thoughts, getting involved with the emotions, within a particular viewpoint, centered on the “I,” on the ego, on this observer, who lives in this liking or disliking, who lives in this wanting more or wanting less of the experience, of what is shown here. Then, this establishes division and, of course, conflict.

Is it possible to have a mind free of the “I,” of the ego and, therefore, of this model of separation between thinker and thought, observer and observed thing, experiencer and experience? Is it possible to have a free heart, a mind free from this model of psychological time? Anxiety, depression, boredom, the pain of loneliness, the various internal conflicts present in human beings are present because of this model of thought, this idea of time.

We've investigated all this here on the channel. Anxiety is time, depression is time, thinking is time. Notice that all of this comes from the past and shows itself at this moment, distorting the reality of this instant. Here at this moment there is no fear, there is no room for anxiety, depression or anguish, because this moment is a complete moment when thought is not present. When it isn't present, there is no time.

If we don't have thoughts, we don't have the time. If we don't have the images that come from the past, which are thoughts, which are time, what is present here is the absence of the egoic mind, of this movement, which is the movement of the “I,” which is always placing us within this condition, where this psychic suffering is present, which is the movement of thought, appearing here, without being seen, without being understood and, therefore, without being finalized.

So, that's our subject here with you, within this channel. We are working on the Awakening of Consciousness, of your real and true nature in this life. This is the end of suffering, the end of anxiety, of depression, of the anxious mind. This is the Truth about what is You. I refer to this Spiritual Enlightenment, the awakening of your Divine Nature.

This is our subject with you on this channel and also on our other channel, called “Marcos Gualberto.” Go ahead and take a look later, you'll find our link to the other channel here in the video description.

We also have online meetings that take place on weekends. On Saturdays and Sundays, we work together with you on these issues. We're working with you to put an end to this “I” condition. You can find our WhatsApp link to participate in these online meetings on weekends here in the video description.

We also have face-to-face meetings and retreats. If this is something that makes sense to you, I invite you to leave your like here and please, subscribe to the channel, okay? And see you. Thanks for the meeting and see you next time!

Joel Goldsmith. Living the Illumined Life. Self-awareness. This Divine Presence. Master Gualberto.

GC: Hello everyone! We are here for another videocast. Once again, Master Gualberto is here with us. Gratitude, Master, for your presence.

Master, today I'm going to read an excerpt from Joel Goldsmith's book called: “Living the Illumined Life.” In this excerpt, Master, Joel makes the following comment: “Christ is not something you will achieve. Christ is the Being that you are, something you must recognize now.” Master, how can we recognize this Divine Presence in us?

MG: Here we have, Gilson, a question that we have to see how we formulate it, because, in general, our questions are quite biased, without realizing that their tendency, exactly, to give us a wrong approach to the subject. So, we ask with the intention of knowing, but the way we ask can disorient us. For example, in this case, you ask “how to recognize?” The Truth about you is not recognizable by the mind. The element in us that recognizes is that element that knows. We deal with experiences based on the recognition we have of them, because we have already been through that given thing, and when we face the experience again, we recognize it. We recognize it because, in fact, we already know it. This knowledge is mental knowledge, it is knowledge of memory, of remembrance. The Divine Reality in you is not recognizable, because It is outside the mind, outside the intellect, outside thought, outside the memory and, therefore, outside every experience.

This is a subject that we have to approach, first, by understanding how experiences are settled. Experiences are based on knowledge that we bring, based on the past. When we go through an experience, we record those experiences, they become memories, and when we meet them again, we are just recognizing what we already know. So, all recognition, Gilson, implies the presence of prior knowledge. That's why we recognize it. When we talk about Divine Reality, this Truth of the Christ or this Real Consciousness, This is something outside the intellect, outside of thought. People use the expression “Christ” or “Being of Christ” as if it were something they could recognize. We cannot recognize That which is outside the mind. So, this Divine Truth… we use names for It: “Consciousness,” “Christ Consciousness,” “God” … In truth, we do not have access to It in word, in thought, in memory, in the known – which is memory –, in knowledge – which is past experience – and, naturally, recognition is impossible.

Here, the Realization of something outside the known is possible, but this Realization is not a recognition that the person makes. It is That which is present, exactly, when there is no “person,” this mind with this model of memory, thought, knowledge, known and possibility of recognizing. Divine Reality is present. It shows itself as it is when the “I,” the ego, is not there. So, when we ask the question “how can we recognize?” ...We cannot recognize, because when This is present, you are not present to recognize anything. Who would be recognizing if not an entity separate from experience? This entity separate from experience is still an observer and this experience is not the Truth. If it can be recognized, it is not Real, and if there is an element that can recognize it, this element is also within this pattern of separation, of duality and, therefore, still part of illusion.

The Truth about God, Consciousness, Christ, is the Truth that is present when you are not. This is the point! It is not possible to have this Reality present and the sense of the ego, of the “I,” of the experiencer, of the observer, being aware of It, recognizing It. Note that this is the way, in general, thinking works in people's heads. They wait or hope to have an experience of God, an experience with God, and when they have experiences, they attribute these experiences to experiences that are coming from God. Notice, if they are recognizing the experience, it is just a memory experience, it is just something that is still within the field of the known, the field of the mind, the field of thought; It's not real yet. In fact, no experience as an experience is Real. Truth is not an experience, Truth is the end of the experiencer and, naturally, of each and every form of experience. It is the end of that element that recognizes itself as the experiencer and the end of that which can be recognized. It is the beginning or appearance of something completely new, outside of the “I,” outside of the mind, outside of thought. All right?

GC: Master, we have a question from Simone Castro. She made the following comment and question: “I feel little glimpses of this state, then it disappears and I forget the Truth. How can I stay in it?”

MG: Okay, here's an example: “I get little glimpses of this state, then they disappear...” So, notice, what you're having are experiences – experiences that leave a record, leave a memory – and then you remember these experiences. These are very pleasant experiences that you want to see coming back again and again and again. Now, believing that these experiences are the Reality of this Natural State outside the “I,” outside the ego, that is not Real. We can have, Gilson, experiences, we can have glimpses of something, but when that disappears, only memory remains. Memory is not Reality; memory is not the thing. And when there is, afterwards, this demand that this thing come back and remain, where is this demand coming from? Naturally, from the experiencer, from the one who recorded the memory, which is the “I,” which is this “me,” which is still this egoic identity, which is the identity that separates itself. Demanding or wanting that what was experienced to return is only possible when the element that recorded the experience, which is the thinker, the experiencer, is present.

Divine Reality is not for the “I,” it is not for the thinker, it is not for the experiencer. We cannot expect that What is Real to have continuity within this model, to have this permanence within this model. Reality is not in time. Notice how interesting this is… It has no permanence. When Reality takes over Its space, time ends, illusion ends, the thinker ends, the experiencer ends. So, this demand of ours to see an experience, however pleasant it may have been, maintaining continuity, is still a demand of the “I,” still of this personal sense, which is the mind.

The work consists of becoming aware of this thinker, this experiencer, this “I.” The awareness of this brings about the discarding of this element and That which is Real takes its place. When That takes over, the illusion of time ends. This is the Natural State, where That which is Truth is present, but there is no longer this movement of appearing and disappearing, there is no longer this movement of glimpses, of moments in which it is present or absent. So, it is important that we understand this. I understand your question, but as an answer to your question, some work is necessary. But this work must be done with this very clear view that it is not a state that becomes permanent, like a state that someone has experienced. This Natural State is something completely new. When It takes over Its space, which is this Real Space, there is an end to this continuity of this “I,” this mind and, therefore, this movement of time, where we are in a certain state and, in the next moment, we are no more.

Here, the work consists of becoming aware of this movement of the “I” at this moment, and the idea of ​​a state is just a belief, it is just a concept of a state that will become permanent. We eliminate the sense of “I” through self-observation, through work of self-investigation, through Meditation. The presence of Self-awareness is fundamental, until there comes an instant, a moment in which this body-mind goes through a change and this Natural State takes over Its space. But, remember, this Natural State is not an experience, it is not glimpses, it is not these brief perceptions that appear. The mind captures and transforms it into a memory and then wants more of that same thing. OK?

GC: Master, in relation to this issue of wanting to capture the experience and then remember it, to be able to comment on it, to desire it again, I want to comment on how, in Satsang – which are these encounters that the Master provides to help us in this self-investigation, but there is this sharing of Presence, of Silence – and, especially, in the retreats, which are seven or ten-day retreats, it is funny how, after seven or ten days of this direct contact with the Master, we have no remembrance of an experience we had or something that happened. It seems like you really leave time, the known, and there comes the end of the meeting, the Satsang, the retreat, and we don't even know what happened. There is no way to summarize the meeting, for example. Can the Master talk a little about this?

MG: This is very basic, Gilson. When there is mindfulness, complete, full, total attention, within a given experience, the element that remains to register this disappears. Every time you have an experience – these glimpses are experiences – that you can register, that is not yet a contact with this Real Consciousness, with this Truth outside the mind; It's just an experience! It can be a rich, deep, wonderful experience, but it is something that happens and that leaves a record – it leaves a record because, in fact, the one who records, which is the “I,” the thinker, the experiencer, is still involved in the experience. It's an experience!

Contact in Satsang, the interesting thing about these contacts – the word Satsang means “the encounter with Being, with Truth” – is that, in these contacts, something new emerges. This “something new” is the end of this “I”-consciousness, this thinker, this experiencer. It does not enter when That is present, when this Reality is present. That's why there's no record. When contact with That which is outside the mind is real, there is no record. When people report that they have had experiences, they often say: “When my Kundalini awakened, this, this, this happened…” or “I was meditating and then, suddenly, this, this, this happened…” All this type of report occurs due to the presence of an experience. Yes, it is a wonderful, extraordinary experience, different from the ordinary, everyday mind, but it is still an experience for an experiencer. This is still within the realm of what is known, because it can be recorded.

In Satsang, something else happens, a moment of Stillness and Silence happens, where the sense of “I,” which is the experiencer, disappears. So, there is no record, because it is not an experience. Do you understand? It's not an experience. What you experience in Satsang, in these encounters, are moments where the sense of “I” disappears. If it disappears, there is no record of it. If someone asks “how was it?”, you have nothing to say, because you are outside the known, outside the experiencer, outside any description of any experience. What people have, Gilson, in general, very commonly, are glimpses. These glimpses are contacts, still, at the level of experience. They keep the record and then they talk about it, and they wish they had more of it, but it's not Real, because it's still within the known.

It is real as an experience, but it is not Real in the sense that we put it here, that we are giving to this word here. We are talking about something that is outside the mind, that is outside the known, which is the State of Being, free from the “I,” free from the mind, free from the registration model, which is just what thought, in this format of “thinker,” does: it is to register, register, and then ask for more of it. Once you have direct contact with Reality, this “you,” this “me,” this “I,” disappears. So, it is a state outside this brain pattern that works based on recollections, remembrances, memories. Every thought in us, Gilson, is a record of the past, and every memory is only a memory because it was recorded. Anything you go through and can register is still part of what thought can recognize. If it can recognize it, it is within the model of time, the model of the known, it is within the model of the “I.” OK?

GC: Master, we have another question here, from Maria do Socorro. She asked several questions in the same comment. I will read them and then the Master will respond. She makes the comment like this: “Wow! So, is the anxious one present in anxiety? Is the fearful one present in fear? Is the angry one present in anger? Is this the so-called ‘consciousness’? Be aware that one is present in everything?”

MG: No, she completely misunderstood that. It's not that. Gilson, there is some confusion regarding her comment. It is not the anxious one present in anxiety or the fearful one present in fear. It's not about being present. Fear is the fearful one, anxiety is the anxious one! It's not about being present, there's no such thing as being present. It is the presence of the anxious one in anxiety, both being one reality. So, to put it very directly, there is only anxiety because of the anxious one, there is only the anxious one because of anxiety. It's not that one is present in the other thing; there is only one phenomenon present, and that phenomenon is present because the illusion of separation, of duality is present.

When fear is present, the element in fear is the fearful person oneself, but the fearful person is fear. When there is this separation, the illusion of “someone” is created to get rid of fear. Then, there is a separation between the experience that is here and this element that separates itself as being the experiencer of the experience. This separation is completely false, because what is present, when fear is present, is fear. It's just fear! The idea of ​​getting rid of fear is already the illusion of an observer wanting to do something with fear. This movement is the movement, yes, of egoic consciousness, of “I”-consciousness. There is no Reality in this other than the reality of the sense of duality, of separation and, therefore, this is where ignorance and, naturally, suffering are present.

When we have, for example, a thought, it is a present thought. When we want to do something with our thoughts, it is because there is an intention, there is a will, there is a “like,” a “dislike” of the thought. When this occurs, we have an illusory separation, which is the separation of duality. This is how we are living our lives: in the illusion that we are thinking, in the illusion that we are feeling, in the illusion that we are afraid, we are angry, we are sad, we are thinking... In fact, the only thing present is anger, it is sadness, it is thought, and, naturally, this illusion that there is someone who can do something to get rid of it when it is unpleasant, or to appropriate it, identify with it, when it is pleasant.

The result is the condition of this egoic consciousness, which is the consciousness of the “I.” This egoic consciousness, which is the person's consciousness, is an illusion. Only when this ends do we have something outside of the known, which is present, which is not part of this model of consciousness, which is not part of this condition of duality, of separation. So, we need to have an approach to clearly understand this. In general, we have difficulty, because the idea is the idea of ​​someone present separate from what they think, what they feel and every experience that happens, due to this model of egoic consciousness that we bring in this conditioning, which is common to everyone. OK?

GC: Master, we have another question here, from Vivian Melo. She makes the following comment, asking: “Is it the Self the absence of the ‘I’, the me, the ego?”

MG: Note the question: it is a theoretical question. We also want a theoretical answer. We have to investigate this in an experiential way. Otherwise, we have a theoretical answer to a theoretical question. It is a question that is actually seeking what, exactly? A verbal confirmation. This verbal confirmation is a theoretical confirmation. When Reality is present, there is That which is Real. In the intellect, we want an answer to this, but the intellect does not reach it. So, I would say that work is necessary for this Understanding, in an experiential way, of That which, in fact, remains when illusion ends, when there is no longer this illusion.

This is important, Gilson: not to get attached to words, because we have this very strong inclination to hold onto words intellectually, and the intellect in us lives trapped in this learning model. It captures, acquires knowledge, information, and then repeats it, as if it were a Real Understanding. However, it is only an intellectual understanding, and this intellectual understanding does not prove to be Real. We are full of formulas, ideas, concepts, beliefs, based on this principle of understanding a subject intellectually and talking about it, or thinking about it. When we speak or think, since we are dealing with thought, we are only at the level of the intellect. There is no Truth in it, there is no Reality in it. OK?

GC: Master, our time is up. Thank you for this chat. And for those of you watching the video, here's an invitation. If you have this yearning, this thirst for Truth, you are invited to participate in the intensive weekend meetings, which are the Satsangs. There are online meetings, in addition to in-person meetings and also retreats. In the first comment, pinned, there will be the WhatsApp link for more information about these meetings. And also, go ahead, leave a “like” on the video, leave a comment with questions, so that we can bring them to the next videocasts.

Master, gratitude!

The search for spirituality | How to overcome past traumas? | How to really meditate? | Advaita

Here in these meetings, we have discussed with you several questions, all of which concern the truth of Self-Realization, the Realization of That which we are, this Divine Realization. And today I want to work with you on this issue of search.

There is in every human being a search, a longing, a yearning, a search for something beyond what our lives have been. Some identify this search as the quest or the search for spirituality. But when we approach this word, this expression “spirituality,” what we realize is that the human mind has many ideas about what spirituality represents.

Therefore, people are in this so-called search for spirituality, looking for some experience, some contact with something outside the routine, the boredom, the repetition, the continuity that has been their life. But what is the truth of the search? What, after all, are we looking for?

In my view, the truth of this search, for most people, is what is present due to an internal level of non-conformity, non-establishment, non-acceptance of this condition in which they find themselves. This occurs due to a deep level of dissatisfaction. And here we have to investigate this issue of dissatisfaction and see if, in fact, there is the possibility of finding this dreamed-of fulfillment of satisfaction in this search for spirituality.

Most people end up looking for first in the world, in search of fulfilling an external accomplishment, in this experience with external achievements. Tired of this, they begin to turn to this so-called search for spirituality. And yet, this so-called spiritual search or search for spirituality is still the search, in fact, to replace the state of life in which they find themselves, which is one of dissatisfaction, with something that can fulfill them.

Therefore, there is a search for fulfillment, satisfaction, achievement, in an attempt to complete oneself, to feel happy, to feel at peace, in freedom, in love, in completeness. Here we are seeing this with you, clearly telling you that we cannot continue within this model, in this attempt to replace something that we have, that we are living at the moment, with something that we want to live later, achieve later, or something that we have and that we need to get rid of or replace it with something else.

We need to take a direct look at this condition, which is the condition of dissatisfaction. To understand this element present in dissatisfaction. What is this element that is dissatisfied? Note, it is not about what is missing or what is present here that does not give us the satisfaction we desire, but rather this present element that is unhappy, that is dissatisfied.

So, what are we actually looking for? Is it the end of dissatisfaction or the understanding of what dissatisfaction represents? Note that it is something totally different. The search for the end of dissatisfaction with a replacement is something different from the direct understanding of dissatisfaction for the end of it. Understanding dissatisfaction is, in fact, understanding that element that is unhappy, that is dissatisfied. And looking for something to fill and to put an end to this dissatisfaction, in accomplishing something, is just looking for a replacement.

So, note that it is something completely different from what we are proposing here for you. Here it's not about finding something, it's not about getting rid of something – something that makes us unhappy – or finding something that can make us happy. Here it is about understanding the truth about the unhappiness present in what “I” am. Nothing in life, in the world, in any achievement, be it achieving something or getting rid of something that will make you happy.

Note that what we call happiness is this feeling of being happy. So, when you feel happy, you are in happiness. Now, how long does this happiness of feeling happy last? When something happens that fulfills you, that completes you, that satisfies you, you are happy. But what you call happiness here, feeling happy, is about being temporarily filled with some level of satisfaction, fulfillment, pleasure.

What we call happiness, which consists of an experience that happens to us and is then replaced by another experience, and then by a third, a fourth, and so on – this is what we know –, it is still within this model, which is the model of routine, which is the model of boredom, which is the model of continuity.

So, we need to ask ourselves what the truth of what we are seeking is. And here we are pointing, signaling to you the truth of this. The truth is that you are not looking for something. You are searching – and of course this is all unconsciousness, this takes place at a level that you are not aware of –, you are looking for something that is not part of the known, that is not part of the model of thought.

It's important to say this here. Thought, everything it knows, is within what it represents. What it represents, because it is what it knows, is within this limitation, and we have experienced this. So, our entire lives, we spend many years of our lives involved in searching or seeking to achieve something or to get rid of something that thought knows, that is within that thought pattern.

Therefore, our mental life, which is this life of this consciousness of the “I,” is determining this search, this quest, and this real Happiness is not understood, verified – notice this –, because we are always in the field of the known, which is the field of thought.

When people approach these meetings and ask how to truly meditate, it seems that they were told that meditation will also provide them with something, give them something and they will achieve, through meditation, something that will make them happy. This is not the truth about Meditation. So, when a person asks how to truly meditate, we have to investigate what Meditation is, realize the reality of Meditation and what it means meditating.

Meditating is exactly having an emptying of all this content of the known, content of the mind, which is the content that is part of this movement of thought. So, the truth of Meditation is the awareness of Being, and it is present when this element of dissatisfaction is not there. And the element of dissatisfaction is not the absence of something that is missing, nor is it getting rid of something that is present, causing dissatisfaction. The truth of Meditation is the end to the illusion of this dissatisfied one, which is the “I,” the ego, this “me.” This is what we are dealing with here with you, within this channel.

So, what is the truth of Meditation? How to really meditate? Becoming aware of this element of dissatisfaction, which is the “I,” the ego; understanding that nothing can fulfill this condition, which is the condition of a present illusory identity that carries this whole psychological condition of disorder, of every kind of disorder, of every kind of suffering. And this is all part of this pattern of the past. It is what sustains this element of dissatisfaction, which is the “I,” which is the ego.

When people ask: “How to overcome the traumas of the past?” Note, the internal state of consciousness of the “I,” the ego, is loaded with all kinds of problems, disorder and suffering. There are many forms of trauma, for example.

Having contact with the reality of what this “I” represents, becoming aware of its movement and having an emptying of all this content that comes from the past, which is grounded, which is basically based on thought, this is contact with the truth of Meditation. Then, it is possible to empty this content. It's not about overcoming trauma, it's about having a direct understanding of that element that is the “I,” the ego, which lives in the past, which lives from the past and, therefore, is in this trauma.

When people ask: “How to overcome past traumas?” Becoming aware of this past, this sense of “I” present in experience, in the continuity of this state of suffering, conflict, pain, grief, dissatisfaction. So, having a direct look at all this internal movement of this consciousness of the “I” is to have an emptying of this content. That’s when we have the end of the traumas of the past, because there comes the end of the past.

So, dealing with these traumas is like dealing with all forms of fear and psychological suffering. By becoming aware of the movement of this consciousness, it is possible to empty this content. When this emptying occurs, we have contact with Something beyond the mind, beyond the “I,” beyond the ego. Then, the beauty of Awakening happens, this flourishing of Consciousness happens. This is Divine Realization; this is God Realization.

So, what is it that we are looking for? What, in fact, do we need to free ourselves from everything that psychologically the sense of “I” represents here, in this life, in this particular life of the “I,” of the ego? What, in fact, do we need to end this dissatisfaction, to end these traumas, these various fears, afflictions, conflicts, dilemmas and problems? We need to get an approach of the truth about Meditation.

So, this is what we are working on here with you within this channel; showing you that, yes, it is possible for life to occur without this element that separates itself from it, which is the “I,” the ego, and, therefore, produces conflict, contradictions and all forms of confusion. Thus, contact with the reality of this Real Being, which is the Nature of God, here and now, is the end of this disorder, the end of this confusion, the end of this suffering, this dissatisfaction.

Therefore, this is our work here with you, within this channel and also on our other channel called “Marcos Gualberto.” You can later take a look at our other channel, here in the video description we have the link so you can check out the other channel.

Additionally, we have online meetings that take place on weekends. Saturday and Sunday, we are together becoming aware of this reality of who we are. So, for two days, through questions and answers and contact with Silence, we have been investigating this. Here in the video description, you have our WhatsApp link to participate in these meetings.

In addition, we have face-to-face meetings and also retreats. If what you just heard makes any sense to you, leave your “like” here, subscribe to the channel and put it in the comments: “Yes, it makes sense.” OK? And we'll see each other. Thanks for the meeting and see you soon!

How to deal with loneliness? | Conscious and unconscious mind | The human mind

Here, the question is: how to deal with the pain of loneliness? First, we have to look directly at what we call “being alone” in this sense of pain, so that we can, in fact, investigate the truth about it. When people talk about the pain of loneliness, when the present idea is the idea of ​​having been abandoned or suffering from being alone, this needs to be seen. What element is this, present, that sustains a present pain when you are alone, without company, without relationships? Wouldn't this element be an element that has actually been within this self-centeredness for a long time? Even if one spent moments in good company, were these good companies present, causing him, at that moment, a self-forgetfulness of the fact that, in fact, he was alone, that he had always been alone?

Note where we want to go with you in this talk: you can only feel this pain of loneliness, in fact, noticing a pain that is now revealing itself, here, as something present, but that has always been there... but in a certain way, you've never realized the presence of this pain. Notice how much we need to investigate all of this. We spend a lifetime involved with all kinds of palliative, illusory solutions to situations or problems that are present, but we never pay attention to their presence. So, notice here where we are pointing when we are investigating this matter with you.

We carry a feeling – note, this is something present in every human being –, it is a feeling of incompleteness, of dissatisfaction, of missing something. This occurs due to a pattern, a format of being someone that we have, that we present ourselves to be, that we are in life, that lives within an isolationism. We are already isolated from each other, as people. See, we need to realize this isolationism that this “I,” the person, is living. Perhaps, for you, the pain is the pain of loneliness, for another it is the pain of frustration, for another it is the pain of disappointment, the pain of rejection.

So, everyone experiences pain, and this pain is in this center, which is the “I.” We have countless names for this pain of the “I,” this “me,” this ego, the person as we see ourselves, the person we believe ourselves to be. Someone would call the pain “depression,” another would call the pain of “fear,” “anguish,” “guilt.” The difference is how thought represents this pain, but it is a pain inherent to this isolationist sense of the “I,” the ego. Your question is: “How to deal with the pain of loneliness?” but it could be: “How to deal with the pain of the ‘I,’ this ‘me,’ this person?”

There comes a time when nothing can lessen, diminish, alleviate, or make us forget the pain that is present in this sense of separation. It is the pain of separation between you and life, between you and God. There is no pain other than this, the pain that human beings feel is the pain of separation between them and life, between them and God. How to deal with the feeling of being rejected in love? How to deal with being rejected by someone? Note, we are always dealing with a pain present in this sense of “I.”

Here we are observing this movement that is the movement of thought, which has situated us as people in time, living life today as someone walking towards the future. The notion we have of the existence of someone present is someone who came from the past, had wonderful experiences yesterday and today is no longer having those experiences, they only have memories of yesterday at this moment. So, we are always living in this time, that is the past as a reference, and in the projection of a future based on past experiences, which have already gone, in the idea of ​​being someone living in the present moment, moving towards a future moment. And at this present moment, something is missing, and that something is someone.

So, human beings have this feeling of wanting to become something or become someone, or achieve something, or reach or discover someone who can fulfill them, who can satisfy them, who can make them forget this separatist sense of duality and isolationist of the “I.” Are you with me? Can we approach this pain without any idea? The idea that it shouldn't be here, notice, it is the illusion of someone, already separating oneself from the pain to do something with it. The question itself already implies the presence of this duality. When you ask, “How to deal with loneliness?” – in your question what is implied is not the problem itself of being alone, it is the problem of not being able to do something with the pain of being alone, of wanting to know how to do something with the pain of being alone. So, there is pain and there is you – notice – which is totally illusory, because the presence of pain is you. You are the presence of pain, there is no separation between the pain and the one in the pain – it is very basic, it is very simple. When there is pain present, there is no one in the pain, there is only pain, that pain is someone, there is no one in the pain.

Our way of approaching experience is completely wrong because we believe that the experience exists and is separate from the person who is experiencing the experience. But when there is experience, living the experience is the experience in living of the one who lives it. When there is experience, there is experience only in the one who lives the experience. So, the one who lives the experience is the experience, there is no separation. When pain is present, it is pain. The way we have to approach every experience is completely wrong. Try observing what we are putting here for you: when there is fear, there is no “you” feeling fear, there is fear, the fear is you; there is no space between you and fear.

The moment it occurs, at that very moment of fear, there is no separation, it is a thought that appears some time later, after a few seconds or minutes and this thought says: “I can't feel this, I have to get rid of this, I have to do something with this.” See, it is a projection of thought regarding what the experience represents, it is a portrait, it is an image that thought forms about the experience. Notice how important it is to understand this. To discover what it is to be free from fear means discovering what it means to be “free from the experiencer,” because the experiencer is experience itself. “How to deal with loneliness?” It is not possible to deal with loneliness without having a direct approach to what the experiencer is, because the experiencer is loneliness.

In an experiential, clear, practical way of approaching, it is by becoming aware of the pain without separating yourself. Allow this pain to be understood, to reveal itself completely. When it reveals itself completely, without the element that wants to get rid of, do something, reject... When this pain reveals itself completely, the experiencer reveals itself, which is this center, which is the “I,” in this isolationism, sustaining the illusion of separation between oneself and experience. When we have such approach to the experience without the experiencer, we have the end of experience. So, this pain vanishes because it is not being fed, it is not receiving the continuity of this “I” in the pain, this experiencer in the experience, this one who separates oneself to observe and have ideas of what to do with the experience. Are you with me?

When this is present, there comes the end of this ego, this “me,” this “I,” and that is the end of the experience, because, at that moment, the approach to this attention over this instant reveals the end to this separation, to this element that isolates itself and finds itself in need of something. So, this is the end of the “I,” this is the end of the ego, this is the end of the experiencer, this is the end of pain, of this isolationism. It needs to be clear, for each of us, how the human mind works, because this is within the project of this mind. The mind has lived in this condition for millennia, creating this separation, being the experiencer of experiences, being the thinker of thoughts, being this “I” of the “non-I.” We carry the illusion of the other to fulfill “me.” Then, there is this illusory psychological condition – notice this – of being someone.

This model of the human mind is what we call “conscious and unconscious mind.” Once you approach this look at what the mind represents, you have the possibility of an emptying of all this content that sustains this notion of time, of past, present and future, that is within this mind, which created this separation between conscious and unconscious, in this idea that we are someone present. This someone is the consciousness of the “I,” it is this egoic consciousness, it is this sense of being someone, seeing oneself separate from life, separate from experiences, separate from God. Alright?

Here, in these meetings, we investigate the end to suffering, to the suffering of this conscious and this so-called “unconscious mind,” which, actually, is one single mind, which is the egoic mind, which is the mind of the “ I.” So, there is something that reveals itself beyond the mind, beyond the “I,” beyond the ego, beyond this isolationism, that sustains this separation and, therefore, some form of pain, some form of conflict and suffering. Here, a contact with the Reality of your Being is a contact with Happiness, with the Truth of Real Consciousness; this is the Reality of your Being. In your Being, in your Real Consciousness, which is Happiness, there is this Completeness. None of these conditions of suffering, of disorder, of problems, are present when the Reality of your Being, which is the Reality of God, is present.

So, this is what we work on here with you, within this channel, and also on our other channel called “Marcos Gualberto.” You have here, in the video description, our link to find the other channel. Additionally, we have online meetings that take place on weekends. Saturday and Sunday we are together delving deeper into this here, with you. Through questions and answers, we are pointing out to you the Reality of the Awakening of Consciousness, of the Realization of the Divine Truth, which is the Realization of God. Here in the video description, we have the WhatsApp link for you to participate in these meetings that take place on Saturdays and Sundays. OK? In addition, we have face-to-face meetings and also retreats. If what you have just heard is something that makes sense to you, here is the invitation, go ahead, leave your “like” here, subscribe to the channel and please write it down here in the comment: “Yes, it makes sense.” And we'll see each other. Thanks for the meeting and see you next time.
