“Are you telling us that it's possible to break with these internal states of suffering, confusion and mental disorder that we know?” Yes, exactly that. It is possible, in this life, to be free from this well-known life, as human beings generally know it; a life where conflict, confusion and struggle are present, established as the norm, the rule, the human standard.
It is this condition of struggle, confusion and conflict that establishes internal states in us, states of suffering. Note, it's a matter of a vicious circle. This external confusion, this external disorder, this external conflict translates within each of us as internal complications, afflictions and suffering. This external suffering is nothing other than a representation of this internal movement of disorder, confusion and internal conflict. So it's a vicious circle.
What you are psychologically expresses itself externally. There is no separation between the external world and this internal world. Confusion in the family is confusion in the neighborhood, confusion in the city, confusion in the nation, confusion between nations. The internal conflict is the external conflict.
If there's conflict within you, your conflict isn't just with yourself, it's a conflict with your wife, with your husband, with your children, with the family. Just as, when you are light, joyful and happy, this lightness, joy and happiness is shared with everyone around you, in the same way you share these internal states of disorder, conflict and suffering with the world. There is no separation between you and those around you.
This separation is an idea, it's just a concept, a way of speaking, which in this form doesn't represent any truth at all. You are what life around you is, what the world is. If there is conflict in the world, there is conflict in you. If there is conflict in you, there is conflict in the world. Then, we're living like this.
So, our pattern of behavior, from a physical viewpoint and also from a psychological viewpoint, is exactly the same. Unless you resolve this internal issue, no external issue will be resolved. Then, here we are again: yes, life without suffering is possible.
We can't change the world and neither does the world need to change, since you, as we've just said, are the world itself. The only element present in the disorder, confusion and suffering in the world is, in fact, you.
“How to deal with anxiety and depression?” Notice the questions we ask. We want to learn how to deal with anxiety and depression. Note, you don't need to know how to deal with anxiety and depression, you need to discover the truth of how you function.
As long as there is no comprehension of how you function, there will be anxiety and depression in the world, there will be anxiety and depression in you. It's not about putting some level of order over internal states of psychological suffering or applying some skill to deal with it. This is about eliminating that model.
The great truth about all this is that we are psychologically adjusted to this model, adjusted to this model of ignorance about who we are. Not comprehending how we function is ignorance of who we are.
We don't know how to deal with thought. So, here is a question that is also very relevant, of great importance to each of us. “How to deal with thought?” Another question is: “What is thought? What is thinking?” That's because, note one thing here, everything starts from this way of thinking, this pattern of thinking and not being aware of how it works.
So, not knowing how to deal with it, not comprehending it, not having an approach to thinking, all this is part of this form of psychological adjustment that we've been sustaining in life for millennia. Here, we are with you investigating the end to this psychological condition, to this psychic conditioning. The end of this psychological conditioning or psychological adjustment of human culture, of the pattern of social education, of humanity that we bring, the end to this is the end to psychic suffering.
So, by nature, by truth of it, the end of this psychic suffering is the end of conflict, confusion and disorder within ourselves and, therefore, in the world. How can we meet the end of problems in the world? By resolving this issue of the end of the problem in you, because the problem in you is the problem in the world.
Your contact with the family is based on what you are or what you represent in this context. But what is the truth about you? If the suffering person is present there, the anxious person is present, the depressed person, the fearful person, the unhappy person, if that's what we have present here, what we have in the world is exactly that.
Here, with you, we are discovering how to break with psychic suffering, with this psychological conditioning, with this ignorance of the Truth about ourselves. And therefore breaking with this illusion of someone being present. This someone is the meaning of being a person. That's what we're investigating with you.
There is no such thing as someone, as a person. It's the presence of this person, the presence of this someone, the presence of these states. The presence of this someone, the presence of that someone, the presence of these states is the presence of a conditioning that has been in humanity for millennia and now presents itself here. You are not something or someone separate from all this, as we've just said. You, as a person, as someone, are an integral part of this model of conditioning.
Our challenge here is to realize the Reality of That Which Is You in Your Being for the Real Revelation of the true human being. Just as Real Consciousness is not known to us. We live in this so-called human being common to all, human creature common to all, human consciousness common to all.
What is the Truth of this Real Consciousness? What is the Truth of this Divine Nature, which is the nature of your Being? Working in this direction, investigating and looking within a closeness like this, is what we are doing together. Because it is in this closeness that What is beyond the person Reveals itself.
“So, wait, are you really telling us that a quality of life different from everything we've known for millennia is possible? Since what we've known in life for millennia is conflict, confusion and disorder?” I keep saying: yes! This requires the end of the “I,” the end of the ego, the end of this psychological condition, I'll say it again, of adjusting to this current model, to this egocentric pattern of existence of being someone, of being a person.
That's what we're working on here with you. We are talking to you about Spiritual Awakening, Spiritual Enlightenment, the Awareness of the Divine Truth, the Blossoming of your nature, which is the Nature of God. The truth of God is the Truth of That which is outside the mind, outside the known, Something outside beliefs, Something outside dogmas, rituals, ceremonies, these so-called spiritual practices. It is the simple awareness of Non-separation, of Non-duality.
If there is no separation, if there is no duality, there is no conflict, no confusion, no disorder. If this is present, there is no more anxiety, depression or any form of fear. None of this is present anymore, since all of this requires the presence of separation between the one who feels and the one who is feeling, between the thinker and thought, between the one who experiences and the experience.
Notice that all of this is private. We haven't been taught to make direct contact with what is here, without putting in that element that comes from the past, which is that someone, that “I,” that person. This “I,” this person, this someone is this format of human conditioning. We weren't taught to get in touch with life without this element.
And here we are exploring this with you. This requires the presence of studying ourselves, discovering how to look at your reactions, becoming aware of this adjustment, this conditioning, this psychological way in which we have been brought up to live, discovering what it is to look at this; it is in this sense that we use the expression Self-Awareness here.
When we have the real basis, which is the Truth, the revelation of this Self-Awareness, the importance of this, when we have this true basis, we have the importance of Self-Awareness. And when there is this Self-Awareness, the illusion of this “I,” this “me,” this ego, this someone, this person, is revealed, and it ends. And when it ends, there are no more problems, no more confusion, no more suffering, no more fear. We need real contact with life, without the sense of someone else involved in it. No other solution is a real solution, they are stopgaps.
Any form of help that you can get, that you can obtain to alleviate, to reduce the issue of pain, the issue of suffering, the issue of confusion, of disorder, anything that helps you to reduce, to alleviate that, doesn't solve it, only an approach to Meditation, to True Meditation, as we are working with you here, does it. Not what some people call meditation, but the true approach to Meditation, which requires the real basis of studying ourselves, in this comprehension of how we function, how thought works.
So, we are investigating this with you: what is thinking? What is thought? How to deal with thoughts? The vision of the Truth about you reveals to you the end to this internal state, where there is this illusion of separation between you and life, between you and the other, between you and God. You, in your Real Nature, no longer carry this adjustment, this conditioning format.
Here, on Saturdays and Sundays, we are together, exploring this subject with you. It's two days together. You have our WhatsApp link here, in the video description, so that you can get to know this work up close and personal, so that you can work on it in this lifetime. Thus, Saturday and Sunday we're together.
We also have face-to-face meetings and retreats. If what you've just heard makes sense to you, here's an invitation. Go ahead, leave a “like,” subscribe to the channel and say in the comments: “Yes, that makes sense,” OK? And we'll see you. Thanks for meeting us and see you next time!
