Here we have a readiness for discovery, and that's why we're here together, in these meetings. In every video, we are together investigating certain subjects, getting closer to them, and today I want to talk to you about the beauty of this encounter with the Truth about who we are, which is what brings us closer to Wisdom. The subject is Wisdom, Intelligence, and knowledge.
Let me start by telling you something very interesting: in general, we reflect very little on this, we ponder little, or very little, or almost nothing, about these subjects that we are dealing with here. So, it's important here that I draw your attention to a few things. So, we're always here trying to place these matters before your eyes, your listening, your perception about how we have to approach this, without underestimating the importance and value of all this.
So let me start with an example for you. You watch television every day. There's rarely a day when you don't turn on the television. Look, we all have a television, that time is gone, the time when televisions were a luxury item. Today everyone has a television, we all watch television. Every day we have more sophisticated televisions in our homes. So, we all have a familiarity with television.
Now look: is this statement I've just put here true or false? You might say: "No, that's the truth. Yes, we all have contact with television". But here the question is: are you aware of what a television is? The answer to that, of course, is that most of us don't, unless you're a technician who's trained in electronics, specifically televisions, and you know that a television has thousands and thousands of parts and various systems in it, each of which performs a certain function to make sound, images, and colors available to you, all working perfectly.
So, you see, we don't know what a television is, what this device is, and yet we use it every day. So, do we know television because we're using it? Do we know the television device and how it works because we're using it? The answer is simple: no. Do we know how a car works? No. Do we know how a computer works? No. And yet, every day we make use of these things, cars, computers, televisions, but we don't know how they work. And I like this illustration, because it's very practical, it's very objective.
Now, I ask you a question: do you know how you work? And yet, every day, if there's something intimate, a close thing that you have access to all the time, it's the presence of yourself, and yet, look, you don't know how you work. You have thoughts, but you don't know how they work, feelings, emotions. You feel what you feel, you think what you think, you say what you say, you react to stimuli and respond to actions in life, but you don't know what it is the nature of actions, the nature of thoughts, the nature of feelings and emotions. You have emotions, thoughts, feelings, and actions, but you don't know their nature. Just as you don't know your television, your car, or your computer, you don't know anything about yourself.
So, let's not underestimate these meetings here. Here we are stating something that you need to be aware of for yourself. Don't stick to my speech and my words, check it out, investigate it, become aware of it for yourself and find out what we're saying. We're saying that, in life, not understanding how a television works is fine, how a computer works is also fine, not knowing how a car works is fine, there's no problem with that. A car has a problem, you call a mechanic, a computer has a problem, you call a technician, a television has a problem, you call a technician, but when you have a problem, who do you call?
If you have a health problem, you go to a doctor, if you have a headache, a psychological problem, you go to a specialist, but to what extent can you be helped by them? We know what we're saying here for you, we know what you're also hearing, within this context of speech. You may be listening from a background that accepts or rejects what we're saying, but the great truth is that we're dealing here with a subject that is incontestable, we're dealing with a fact, and the fact is: we need to comprehend the truth about who we are, and any help we get in this regard will always be limited. Nobody can really take care of each of us psychologically.
We can have help, aid, but no one can comprehend the Truth about who we are beyond this body and this mind. So, investigating the Truth about us includes comprehending the totality of our life, of our existence. We are not just body and mind, as thought would have us believe, and we cannot go on living life without comprehending the Truth about who we are, as thought would have us believe. And it becomes very clear when we look at our life and realize the mess we're in and that no one can solve it for us.
When you suffer from envy, jealousy, fear, anxiety, depression, anguish, worry, insecurity in relationships, low self-esteem, when suffering is present in the person you are or show yourself to be, who can help you? Our doctors have limitations. There comes a time when you realize that life, in it, requires comprehension. We can't deal with ourselves the way we deal with our car, our computer, or our television. We need to become aware of the Truth about ourselves. The point here is that the awareness of who we are is the awareness of what life is, because there is no separation between life and what we are.
We don't know the nature of the Truth about ourselves. What we have about who we are is what we have learned within this culture in which we have been educated, taught, motivated to live. So, we are living like everyone else around us, without the Truth of this awareness about who we are.
Here we are with you in this learning about Self-Awareness. It is in this learning about Self-Awareness that we have, in life, a Real vision of Life, of the Totality of Life; this is the awareness of Wisdom. So, Wisdom, Intelligence, and knowledge - this is a playlist we're working on here with you on the channel... In life, dealing with living, with life in its totality, requires the presence of Wisdom, Intelligence, and knowledge.
You see, it's not about knowledge, which is the knowledge we know within this technical context, to deal with matters of technology, science, music, philosophy, or psychology. This is about this Real Divine Knowledge, the knowledge that reveals what is outside the known. So, this is knowledge of a different order. It's not something we're going to learn by studying technology, this is the knowledge of electronics, computing, mathematics, physics, and chemistry.
Here, we are talking about knowledge that points to what is beyond the known, here we are talking about Intelligence that is not the intelligence of knowledge and experience to deal with the issues of this external world, this technological, scientific world, it is not that intelligence either. This is Divine Intelligence. So, it's about this knowledge of what is outside the known, this knowledge that reveals what is outside the known, it's about this Intelligence, which is Divine Intelligence, which is the Intelligence of God. Only when This is present can we situate ourselves in life in Wisdom.
That's why this learning about Self-Awareness is the basis for life in Wisdom, it's when we can deal with life as it happens, without this disorder, confusion, suffering, something that is present because of this ignorance about who we are. An important thing here is to get closer to this vision, this comprehension that you were born to realize God, you were born to become aware of Something beyond this idea of someone who was born, someone who is alive and someone who is going to die.
There is something present in life, and that something present is the Life of your Being, of your Divine Nature. The awareness of this is Wisdom. So, dealing with others, dealing with events, situations, dealing with life as it happens, this is something that requires each of us to approach this moment free from this common way of thinking, feeling, moving through life, as people are generally living.
Here, in a clear way, we need to realize that this TV is working, this computer is working, this car is working, but we, as human beings, are breaking down, we are having problems. And it's simple to verify this, just by looking at the world. Not that world far away, on the other side of the planet, just look at our closest relationships, the confusion, the problems in our relationships due to these internal states we find ourselves in - these breakdowns, these internal problems.
When your television breaks, your computer, or your car, it's not so complicated. But looking at yourself, becoming aware of your reactions, that takes work. And we're not facing such a simple job, we're facing a great discovery, we're facing the Divine discovery, the discovery of God. But this requires emptying yourself of this psychological content of disorder, of ambition, envy, fear, jealousy, possession, control, fears, and desires.
Here, in these meetings, we're working on this with you, we're giving you an experiential answer to questions we have in life, such as fear. What is fear? Look at the different forms of fear we have from our earliest days. From childhood to old age - when we reach old age, because before that death can happen to anyone - our life is a life of fear, and we don't know what fear is, what dealing with fear is, we don't know the truth about fear.
So, what is fear? Can we discover life without fear, a life free from all forms of fear? This requires a direct comprehension of how we function. That's what we're working on here with you. The Truth of this Revelation, the Truth about who we are, is the awareness of Reality about who God is, about where He is, where He is, what His Reality is. There is no separation between Him and life, between Him and what is You in Your Real Nature.
Here, on the weekends, Saturday and Sunday, we are together going deeper into this, exploring it with you. Here in the video description, you have our WhatsApp link to take part in these meetings and go deeper into these matters with us. I always ask: does this make sense to you?
