I want to start this talk by asking you a question: Have you ever played Monopoly? In it, you can become a great, powerful multi-multimillionaire businessman. You know that in this game, the winner is the one who buys the most houses, farms, neighborhoods-the one who acquires the greatest number of properties. That's the one who wins, or the one who does not go bankrupt. So, if you don't go bankrupt and if you manage to buy a lot, you end up winning the game.
When you look at life, notice that we don't take playing very seriously. After all, a game is not meant to be taken seriously. We have fun playing. We don't take a game seriously. A game is meant to be fun. Although, even in this, in the "ego," we complicate things too much. There are those who don't want to lose.
Guys, it's a game! It's just a game. Do you see? You are in front of a game. You can win, and you can lose. So, in general, a game is not taken seriously. Not normally. Some do; okay, they are the exceptions! Maybe these exceptions are even a large number of those who play but don't know how to play because they take it too seriously.
Now, in general, look at human life. What is this life, as you know it? Notice: here, you believe that you also own, acquire, buy, accumulate assets. You fulfill purposes, objectives, dreams, goals. This is typical of this mind model that we know as human beings, in this condition, which is the condition we investigate here with you in these meetings-the condition of the "I," the condition of the "ego."
The idea we have is that we are someone who can have, who needs to have, and who seeks to have. The truth about this is that we are taking this too seriously. First, the idea of "being someone" in order to "have things," to "hold onto these things" so that they don't disappear from our hands. So, we don't want to go bankrupt. We want to keep acquiring, accumulating, possessing, to win the game. For us, this is life.
Here, with you, we are investigating this, becoming aware of this so-called life as we know it. Here, we are investigating with you the truth of the illusion of this life we know. To us, this is very real, very true. "We have" properties, "we have" businesses, "we have" hotels, farms, enterprises, companies, "we have" family; "we" acquire, sell, buy, lose, win. All of this is very real.
Here, we are investigating with you the Truth that we are facing a great Divine Game. We received this game. It was given to us. Now, we are playing the game, but we do not realize that we are in front of a game. We are taking it too seriously and going through all these pains of losses because of the attachments to these things.
Notice, this is the problem of the "I" with this "mine." What is the Truth about this? The simple and direct Truth is that this game is just a game. The Truth about this is that it was given to you as a gift, just as a game. Therefore, do not take it seriously; do not argue, do not get upset, do not cry, do not attack, do not become violent, aggressive when you lose; and do not get too excited when you win-because this winning is not a winning, and this losing is not a losing.
Here, with you, we are investigating the Real Understanding of Life. This Real Understanding places you in a state of Awareness, Wisdom, Divine and Real Intelligence, to deal with what is within the known, that is, to deal with all these appearances as appearances within a game.
The understanding of this sets you free from the weight of this psychological condition, where you see yourself as this "I" who truly has what it believes to have and calls "mine" when you say "my" house, "my" car, "my" family, "my" businesses, "my" farm, "my" city, "my" neighborhood, "my" world, "my" history. This sense of "mine" and this sense of "I" go together in this context, where the illusion is present that what you are living within the known is Real Life.
Here, with you, we are exploring this question of Wisdom, of Divine Life, of Life in Spiritual Intelligence, free from the weight of knowledge. So, Wisdom, Intelligence, and Knowledge. Real Intelligence is the Intelligence of God. Wisdom is the vision of Real Life as it happens. And this Knowledge is what has guided the thought model present in each of us, giving us the illusion that we are facing Reality.
No, we are not facing Reality. We are facing a great Divine Dream, a great Divine Game, a great Divine Play. But, as long as we do not understand this question of the known, this question of knowledge-which is what we have of the known-which has thought as its principle, we will be living within this illusion.
And this is what we are inviting you here to break, to undo, to rid yourself of, to assume the Awareness of the Reality of God-which is the Reality of your Self, which is your Divine Life-in order to deal with Life as it truly is: a great Divine Game, where everything here is happening, but as an appearance that is here now and soon will disappear.
Here, with you, we need to investigate a basic element that underlies all of this and that we underestimate. Here on this channel, we have a playlist to investigate this with you. It is within this context, in this playlist that we just mentioned here for you: Wisdom, Intelligence, and Knowledge. This is a playlist here on the channel. Later, take a look. And we have another playlist here, within the context of this vision, of this Spiritual Awakening, of this Spiritual Enlightenment. These various topics are also in playlists on the channel.
I want to address with you a subject that we truly underestimate, and we underestimate it a lot. That is why we are seeing this whole game, everything that life is, happening from this mistaken, confused, disoriented, illusory perspective of the "ego," the illusory "I," which carries this illusion of "mine." Notice, this is present due to ignorance. This is present due to an illusory vision.
Here, we are working on the Awakening of the Truth about ourselves. Becoming aware of the Reality of God is being able to witness this life happening as it truly is. Not from this illusion of an identity that sees itself as separate and possessing things, winning things and losing things; acquiring and losing. Being a master, owner, possessor, achiever of all this. We are facing something completely illusory.
We are simply in Life, within this apparition of existence, in this dream of existence, looking at all of this from a space that is unknown. Becoming aware of this unknown space, to look at life from this place, this new space, is what we are proposing here to you. That is what we are working on here with you. And this requires an understanding of this subject. Now I will tell you what this subject is.
The subject is something we underestimate. The subject is the question of thought. So, what is thought? It is a fundamental playlist here on the channel. We are always adding new videos to this playlist. What is the truth about thought?
What we do not know, what we are not yet aware of, is that this "bank," in quotes, this "Monopoly game," is a construction of thought. The remembrance of something, the recollection of something-and that is how we function psychologically-is the presence of memory. This remembrance, this recollection, is knowledge. This knowledge is thought.
So, what is thought? Thought is that, within you, which says things. Right now, if I ask you your name, thought expresses itself as words. If I now ask you if you have a car, an image appears within you. That image arises because of the presence of thought. That thought is the car. That car is a remembrance, it is a memory.
Thus, that car is one of "your" possessions, but the house too. You close your eyes, and you visualize "your" house. Visualizing is remembering it. If I ask you, are you married? You close your eyes and see the face of your spouse.
All of this is within thought! So, where is this world? It is within thought. So, what is this "Monopoly game," where, in it, you are this successful businessman? Where is all of this?
See, the life of the "I," which carries this "mine," is nothing but the presence of thought. So, what is thought? An image that memory constructs, that recollection makes us return to again and again, and again. That is thought.
So, we return to "our" things. We have "our" things. These "our" things, to which we constantly return, are within thought.
What is the truth about you? You do not know! Because you are confusing yourself with this "I," which is just a thought. A story about you is a memory. That memory gives us the illusion of the "I," of this "I" that has things. These things are thoughts that are also memories of what this "I" possesses, of what this "I" has.
Do you see? We are facing a dream. Can we break free from this into the reality of what is beyond thought?
Since we have just seen this here, all of this is within this set, which is thought. So, what is the Truth of Wisdom? The Truth of Wisdom makes you see life without the "I"! The presence of this Spiritual Intelligence, this Divine Intelligence, allows you to see life without this illusory "center," which is this "me," that sees itself as the "center" of this entire experience.
This experience is the dream, and this "center" is this "I," the dreamer. The end of this dreamer, of this "I," of this "center," is the end of the illusion of this dream, which is the dream of "mine," "my" things.
So, the vision of Wisdom is the vision of the reality of your Self. The point is that this Self is not within this "I," it is not part of this "mine." This Self is the Divine Reality. This is not something personal, it is not something that thought constructs.
The vision from this "space," this new "space," is the vision of life as it is truly happening. This Freedom of not confusing oneself with the experience of the present moment, seeing oneself as the experiencer of this experience, is the vision of Wisdom. The Freedom to deal with the game while recognizing the game. And, in this play, not confusing oneself with any of it, is to become Aware of the Reality of Life as it happens, as it happens free from the "I," free from this "me," from this "ego."
So, what is the Truth of Wisdom? It is the Truth of the vision of God. It is the vision of this Self. It is this gaze from this new "space." And how can we approach this? How can we, in fact, deal with experience without the illusion of "someone" present, in this Flow, this Freedom, this Happiness, this Peace, this Awareness of the Presence of Joy?
Notice: a game is a play. Within the game, we have this playful aspect. This playfulness of the game requires the presence of this innocence, the beauty of this child, aware of the Joy of playing. Life in God is Joy! It is Love, Peace, Freedom, Happiness! We do not know this because we are living without an understanding of what thought is.
The understanding of what thought is requires the freedom not to live any longer in the belief in the presence of this thinker. This thinker is the one who believes he is producing thoughts and identifying with them. See, the awareness that a thought is just a thought allows you to disidentify from this illusion, from the idea that there is "someone" in this thinking, that there is "someone" in this thought.
Thus, we eliminate the illusion of this "I." Can we discover life and deal with it in this New, Indescribable state, where this Innocence, this Joy, this Freedom, this absence of the "I" is present? And, therefore, this absence of possessing, of needing to acquire, in order to be happy, to be fulfilled, to achieve.
Can we assume the truth that it is impossible-and it is something completely unnecessary-to continue carrying this illusion, the illusion that everything is "mine" for this "I"? A free life is a life in Peace! If there is this Freedom, we have the presence of Love! Your contact with the experience of the present moment is a contact from this new and unknown place.
Your contact with this life, with this world, with this experience, with this entire apparition from this Indescribable, Unnameable "space," which is the "space" of Divine Reality, becomes possible when there is the abandonment of this "I."
That is why we are here emphasizing with you how to learn to assume this, to realize this in this life. How to learn about Self-Awareness. This learning about Self-Awareness brings you closer to this "gaze" free from thought, free from the idea of a "thinker" behind the thought. Therefore, it brings you closer to the Truth of meditation. It brings you closer to this Awareness of your own Self, which is the Awareness of God. It is when, in fact, at this moment, this Liberation occurs in this life.
This Liberation is what some have called Spiritual Enlightenment or Spiritual Awakening. It is when, in this new, indescribable state of Being, we have the presence of this Divine Consciousness, this Real Consciousness, which is the Consciousness of God. It no longer makes a difference whether the game is happening or if we close the game. There is something that transcends the game happening and that is also beyond the closed game.
This is the nature of God! It is the nature of your Self! What you are, in your Self, is beyond the known. And you can deal with all of this in a free way, where we have the presence of this Real Intelligence and True Wisdom, which is Divine Wisdom.
Here, in these meetings, we are exploring this subject with you, deepening this. For this purpose, we have online meetings on weekends, where on Saturday and Sunday we are together. Two days together, deepening, becoming aware of this, approaching the Truth about Self-Awareness. How to work on this in this life, within this Divine game, within this Divine dream, and realize this!
That is what we are doing together, so it's two days. You have the WhatsApp link here in the video description to participate in these weekend online meetings. Besides these meetings, we have in-person meetings and also retreats.
If this is something that makes sense to you, here is an invitation-go ahead and leave your like, subscribe to the channel, and comment here: "Yes, this makes sense."
Okay? And we'll see each other! Thanks for the meeting, and see you next time.
