I've heard people use expressions like "wisdom area" or "wisdom zone." The idea is a limited space, still within a circumference, this space, area, or wisdom zone. Thus, the idea is one of limitation. The awareness of life is the comprehension of something limitless, not confined to an area or dimension. When we address the matter of Wisdom, we cannot confuse Wisdom with knowledge and experience.
For us, in general, the idea of ??wisdom is something acquired through knowledge and experience, from prolonged studies, being immersed in books, theses, theories, and concepts. The idea is that we can, in this way, approach the truth of Wisdom. Real Wisdom is not something that is learned, it is not something found in books, in knowledge, or in experience.
Wisdom is the vision of the moment, a vision that does not repeat itself, an inexplicable, indescribable comprehension. Therefore, it is something beyond limits, something that belongs to the Unknown. This is true Wisdom. We approach Wisdom, this true awareness of Truth, when we comprehend the Reality of this Being, the Truth about ourselves. This is what gives us the basis for the Reality of Being.
We must, first of all, have awareness of who we are, of what we are when we demonstrate, here, being someone, a person, interacting with others, interacting with life, interacting with ourselves, and this requires learning about Self-awareness, learning about ourselves. This is what brings us closer to a direct look at the Truth that is present here beyond the "I," beyond the mind, beyond individual consciousness.
Yes, because we see ourselves as someone, as a person. When we use the pronoun "I," we are referring to ourselves from the idea of ??a personal consciousness, an individual consciousness, and this is an illusion. The present Truth is the Reality of Life, and there is no "I" separate from life. This "I" within us is thought to establish an identity, based on a pronoun, on a feeling and sensation in the body.
This is how we have the foundation for this "I": a fiction created and sustained by thought-feeling, sensation, and emotion. When we investigate this, and this investigation requires this gaze at how the mind within us functions, when we investigate this, it becomes clear that there is no "I," there is only life happening. Therefore, the basis for Wisdom, for this indescribable dimension, for this dimension beyond dimensions, for this comprehension of that which is indescribable, which is beyond the known, which is the Presence of Truth, which is the Reality of Wisdom, this requires Self-awareness.
Comprehending oneself is comprehending the "I," it means comprehending the person. It is not the person being understood, it is not the "I" being comprehended, it is comprehension revealing itself. It reveals itself, and the clarity is that the person, the "I," does not exist; there is Life. Therefore, the basis for Wisdom is this vision; this vision is the presence of Meditation.
We never separate the art that reveals the Truth of God, which is Meditation, from a real approach to ourselves through Self-awareness, because there is no real separation between God and Life, between Life and this Being, which is you in your True Nature. And what gives us the basis for this vision, perception, comprehension, realization is Self-awareness.
It is the presence of Self-awareness that leads to the comprehension of Life as it happens, without the idea of ??someone to think about it, to have ideas about it, to evaluate, compare, judge, accept, or reject. And it is precisely because we are doing this that we are confused human beings, disoriented human beings, burdened with stress, fears, desires, conflicts, contradictions, and problems.
There are countless psychic sufferings and emotional disorders present in the human psyche, because we are living in the mind, an inadequate instrument for perceiving the Reality of Life. The point is that the only instrument we have is this, the mind is this instrument, but it is a limited instrument, and we are trying to approach Life from the model of this mind, this consciousness, which is the consciousness of the "I."
Working towards Truth is the awareness of its Revelation here and now, present. You will not move to this place called Truth. Here, the expression "how to have this encounter," here the expression "God," here the expression "Truth," these expressions point to what is here, at this instant, present at this moment, being the only Reality of Life, in life, being Life itself.
Therefore, "How to find God?" When we have questions like these, they sound like: "How to attain Wisdom?" The idea behind these questions is a process, something to be done, something to be accomplished, something to be obtained, achieved, step by step. Thus, we introduce the concept of time, the idea of ??progress, evolution, growth, step by step, and that is false, because there is no time here. The awareness of Truth reveals itself now, in itself, by itself.
There is no step-by-step process for the awareness of Awakening of Consciousness, Spiritual Enlightenment, or this vision of Wisdom. Therefore, the presence of Meditation... What is Meditation? The presence of Meditation is the Revelation of this instant, this moment, here and now, without the past. It is in this sense that we have used expressions like "Self-awareness" here.
The Revelation of That which is present here, when the "I" is not, is the basis, the Truth for the Flourishing of this Natural State of Being, which is Wisdom. Therefore, how to find God? By discovering what it means to be still, to be silent, to observe, to verify, to perceive. When we are in the present moment, when we abandon the idea of ??becoming, when we abandon the idea of ??someone who is present here because they came from the past and now need to go to the future, for the first time we encounter the real investigation of the nature of the "I".
Therefore, encountering Divine Reality, having this encounter with God, means God revealing Himself when the "I" is not present, when illusion is dispelled, when ignorance disappears. I am referring to this illusion, this ignorance of someone present for Wisdom, for the encounter with God; of someone present to love, someone present to be happy, someone present to have peace. The Reality of Life, at this moment, is Love, Peace, Freedom, Bliss.
Therefore, what is Meditation? It is the awareness of the art of Being. This is the encounter with Truth, this is the encounter with Wisdom. Therefore, the true Wisdom Zone is something timeless, indescribable, unnameable, outside of time; it is a space without this "I," without this "person," it is a space free from this center. When Divine Reality is present, Wisdom is present, and there is no "someone" in it; the person does not exist, this "me" having an experience does not exist.
This is another important point here. Generally, when we talk about an encounter with God, the idea is of an experience, but an experience requires the presence of an experiencer. The experiencer is the one who recognizes the experience because they have already lived the experience, or recognizes the experience because they have an image of what the experience represents, and this is basically the past, it is basically thought.
Real contact with Reality is the presence of the experiencer, but this experiencer does not exist. Therefore, the whole idea of ??an experience requires the presence of an experiencer who recognizes what they are experiencing. Here, it is not like that. Your real encounter with God is the Revelation that God is the Truth in this encounter, and that, as this "person," this "me," this "I," illusion is no longer present. This is the Truth about you, and not this "I," this "me," this someone, when the encounter is present. In this encounter, there is the experiencing.
It is not something you register and take with you, it is something that is present here when you, as the person, are no longer present; It is something present when that "I," as the instrument in this mind that records, is no longer present. There is no separation between that "I," the mind, and that person; and it is not present when that which is present here is beyond the known.
So, yes, it is possible, in this life, the awareness of Life, without the "I," without the experiencer, without that limited area of ??the perceiver, the thinker; that is the real contact with the present moment, that is the real contact with the Divine. Here, in life, to assume this Reality is Bliss, Love, Happiness. Here, in life, to assume the Reality of this instant, without someone present, is the Beauty of Being, is the awareness of God.
Therefore, all that we truly need in life is the awareness of Life. It is not someone having awareness, it is not the person having awareness, it is not this "you," as thought imagines you are or should become, that you need. All you truly need is the awareness of Being, which, in reality, is You. There is no separation between Life, God, and that Self that is You. That is Wisdom. This is a new and unknown dimension of Presence, Freedom, Bliss, Happiness, Completeness, Peace, Love.
