You and self-image. The end of self-image. What is thought? What is thinking? Advaita philosophy.

Here, what is known as division, separation or duality, and which we discuss here with you, showing you the beauty, the importance of the end of this condition, the end of this condition is what is known as Advaita.

Here we work with you on how to have a direct approach to this, not from a philosophical or theoretical, conceptual point of view. Therefore, this is not about Advaita philosophy. Here it is about a direct look at this moment, free from this element that sustains this duality, that sustains this separation and, therefore, sustains every form of conflict, contradiction, disorder and suffering in life.

Here, the expression "life" is also to be comprehended. There is Life as it actually happens, but we place on Life as it happens an idea, an overlay on this Life, on this Reality, which is Life, on this Truth, which is Life: it is the particular life of self-image. You have built this image on yourself; therefore, you are the self-image.

What is this self-image? It is the thought that you have about who you are. Any description that you have about yourself, that you can tell me, that you can give me about yourself, that description will be a description based on thoughts.

At school, the teacher asks the student: "Describe your family; write something about yourself in that description." Whatever we are putting into a description about ourselves, as well as about our family, will be a description of ideas.

Our descriptions occur based on thoughts, images, symbols, mental representations, in this format of words. You have a mental representation of yourself, a set of symbols, images, words about who you are and about the world around you, about those who are around you, those closest to you and those farthest away.

Everything we do from the mind is to look at the world through the lens that thought gives us, through the vision that thought evaluates, translates, represents and interprets. This is the vision of the world that we have, this is the vision about ourselves.

As people, our relations with each other are relations in this format. You have not the truth about yourself; the truth about you, that you have, is the truth that you are, that thought says you are - this is the truth about you. The construct that thought structured there, supported there, established there, is the vision about oneself, this is the vision about the other, this is the vision about the world.

What is the Reality about you? Since you know the truth about yourself, is there a Reality about you, something beyond this truth? Approaching this moment requires an examination, an inquiry, an investigation of what this moment here represents, and we are incapable of this, we are incapable of doing this; we are incapable of having real awareness of this from the vision that we have, because it is the vision that thought has about life.

Therefore, we have to examine here the matter of thought, since thought, notice, is the main element in our psychic life, and the basis of life as we know it in relations - because life consists of relations happening -, the basis of our life in these relations is psychic. Our relations are relations in thought, from thought.

The words you know, the names you have stored inside you about people, about objects, all the experience with these objects, also with these people, with the events you have been through since childhood, all of this is inside you, in this psychological base, in this personal mind model. This is our relation with the present moment, but this relation is mistaken, because it is a relation that is based on memories, on remembrances, on recollections; it is a relation that is based on thoughts.

Life is something that is happening here and now, in this instant. For practical purposes, in this dream, which we call life, thought is necessary. My contact with you is based on the remembrance I have of who you are. So, I "have" your name, I "have" your face and I also "have" ideas about you.

But here the Truth has been falsified, there is the presence of the truth of thought within this relation, but there is no Reality of life, because the idea I have about you is something that comes from the past, the one you have about me is something that comes from the past, while life is something that is happening here and now, in this moment, as it has never happened before.

We think we are meeting the same people we recognize. In fact, we are always coming into contact with them based on remembrances of him or her and, in this contact, in this relation, we are falsifying the truth of the relation, because our encounter is with the past. The person you meet is no longer the same; you have their name, their face, psychologically they are another person, and you are another person too.

We are constantly changing internal states due to responses and reactions given to the present moment, but these reactions come from the past, they are always inadequate, they never correspond to the Reality of Life as it happens.

Therefore, our relations are conflicting, problematic, disorderly, confusing and full of problems, because our contact with the present moment is mistaken, because, as people, in this psychological complexity that is this self-image, we are incapable of dealing with the present moment, we are incapable of dealing with life, we are incapable of having a relation with this instant.

What we are doing, what we have been doing are adjustments; but adjustments within this confusion, within this disorder, within this mistake. You do not know your husband, you do not know your wife; she does not know you either, he does not know you either. We believe that we know people. We do not know who we are, how can we know people?

Here, our work consists of going beyond this person, therefore, going beyond this self-image, which means going beyond thought. Unless there is an end to this psychological condition, we will never have contact with Real Life, with him or her, with situations, with events or with ourselves.

We do not know the truth about who we are, about who the other is, about situations as they happen and about life as it emerges, here and now, moment by moment. This is because we are always bringing these memories, these remembrances, these recollections, these thoughts from the past.

Speaking a language requires learned knowledge, so it is natural that this information is present in you, is coming from the past, is emerging from the past. It is based on memory, on remembrance, on acquired knowledge that the efficiency of speaking a language occurs. Working in a profession requires learned knowledge; new knowledge is acquired and also accumulated.

So, at a certain level, thought, which is past, which is memory, which is knowledge, something that is learned, is functional, is necessary, is practical, we need thought. But from the point of view of the vision of Life, of the totality of Life, we do not need thought.

Only technically, scientifically, mechanically, technologically do we need thought, for professional knowledge and experience, for example. But to deal with people, deal with myself, deal with situations that arise, with life as it happens, we do not need thought. And it is precisely because thought is present in this context that problems are present in our lives.

This particular life of the person, of this "me," of this "I," of this ego, is anxious, depressed, full of anguish, pain of loneliness, insecurity, attachments, fears, jealousy. There are innumerable forms of conflict, disorder, suffering, and all of this is present because we do not know what thought is.

Thought is taking over this space, which is not its real space. Thought is this present element that comes from the past, that is constantly occupying our brains, our minds. There is no space, there is no silence, there is no inner stillness to deal with the present moment, because our gaze is the gaze that comes from the past. We have a restless mind, a chattering brain, an internal movement of uncontrolled thoughts.

We know nothing about thought. So, what is thought? This is the condition of disorder that we need to free ourselves from. We also do not know what thinking is. We believe that we are thinking; in reality, thoughts are controlling, in this disorderly, confusing, chaotic control of our relations.

So, we need to investigate this issue, here, of thought. We have playlists here on the channel about this subject: "What is thought?" "What is the truth of thinking?" The beauty of this encounter with life in this moment, free from thought, is the presence of thinking.

We are unaware of the beauty of thinking, of what thinking is, because the illusion present in us is the presence of a thinker behind the thoughts, of someone feeling behind the feelings, of someone in emotion behind emotions, someone being an experiencer behind the experiences. This is something completely illusory.

Life as it happens is just what happens. There is no such thing as this thinker, this experiencer or this one who feels. This is where we find the crux of the matter, a matter that has not been resolved, which is the question of this "me," this "I," this ego. That is why we need to discover the end of self-image, the end of this image, this self-image, this element that thought has constructed, this identity that thought has constructed, this illusory person that we believe ourselves to be.

Therefore, a real approach to life is the end of this duality. Duality consists of this illusory separation between this thinker and his thoughts, between this, who is the experiencer, and his experiences, between this "I" and the "not I." When there is the end of duality, there is a clear vision of Advaita, of non-separation. Then, Divine Reality, the Reality of God, is revealed.

The word "Advaita" means "the One without the second." This is the Reality of this Being, this is the Truth about You when the "I" is not there, when this you, which is the self-image, is not there, when this illusion of this person is not there; this is the encounter with Divine Reality. This encounter is not someone having an encounter, it is the Truth revealing itself, it is the Divine Truth showing itself. This is the end of duality.

When This is present, there is a way to approach life in this instant, in direct contact with the present moment, where there is this feeling, this truth of thinking and acting; this action free from the "I," this thinking free from thought, this feeling free from this "I" in feeling, from this "me" in feeling.

Here, together, we are with you deepening this, becoming aware of this Reality, which is the Reality of Life, free from the "I," free from the ego. Then, Love, Happiness, Freedom, the Awareness of God, the Awareness of Life is present.

So, these meetings that we have here on the weekends, online, are two days together: Saturday and Sunday. I want to leave you with this invitation: here, in the video description, you can find our link to participate in these meetings. In addition to these meetings, we have face-to-face meetings and also retreats.

So, if this is something that makes sense to you, here is the invitation. Leave your "like," subscribe to the channel and leave here in the comments: "Yes, that makes sense." Ok? And we'll see you. Thanks for the meeting and see you soon!

Joel Goldsmith | Beyond Words and Thoughts | How to observe thoughts? | Marcos Gualberto

Hello, everyone! We are here for another videocast, with Master Gualberto once again with us. Thank you, Master, for being here. Master, today I am going to read an excerpt from a book by Joel Goldsmith called "Beyond Words and Thoughts." In an excerpt from this book, Master, Joel makes the following comment: "Relax and rest, and be an observer of what is the will of God." Master, in this excerpt, Joel talks about observing. Within this subject, can the Master share his vision on how to observe thoughts?

MG: Gilson, to observe thoughts, as well as each and every reaction present within you; to become aware of what is happening, of what is happening within you - not only thoughts, but also feelings, emotions ; to become aware of your tone of voice, your gestures, of what is behind that look you have, that listening that you have; becoming aware of oneself, becoming aware of oneself, in this moment: this is the basis for a vision of the truth about the "I," about this "me," about how the person functions, this person that you are - how he or she responds to this present moment, to this instant.

We are faced here with a basis for the revelation of Divine Awareness, the Awareness of God, which is Meditation. Meditation is not about sitting in a certain place, breathing in a certain way, excluding some thoughts and focusing on a thought, listening to music and relaxing - here we are faced with a technique or a meditation practice, but the truth of Meditation requires the Awareness of this Being. Divine Reality reveals itself when the "I" is not there. Therefore, it is not about someone meditating. The truth of Meditation is Meditation without someone meditating. Meditation is the presence of Divine Truth, of Life present, without the sense of someone present; of the experiencing of this moment, without someone being the experiencer of this moment. This is Real Meditation!

We have been talking a lot about Meditation, because Meditation is the most important thing in life; the art of Meditation. It is not someone in Meditation, it is the presence of Meditation without someone. Thus, the observation of thought requires the presence of a look without someone looking. So, it is about this listening without someone listening, this perceiving without someone perceiving.

We spend our entire lives involved in this process of thinking, without knowing what thinking is. Thinking is an element present in us. Thinking is a mechanism present in us, it is a psychic mechanism present in each one of us. When you face a challenge, when you receive a sensory stimulus, auditory, be it visual or of some kind at that level, a sensory stimulus in hearing, in vision - I ask you your name, this is an auditory stimulus; you see a scene, this is a visual stimulus. So, the senses are involved, at that moment, with a given experience. When this happens, at that moment, the brain reacts. The brain's reaction to this stimulus that it receives, at that moment, represents the presence of the experience, of this experience of thinking, because the brain recognizes this moment, it recognizes this sound, it recognizes this vision. When it recognizes, it recognizes based on experiences that it has had in the past, which are these thoughts.

So, this psychological mechanism in us of thinking is the brain responding based on an experience that it has from the past. So, there is this stimulus and the response; this response comes from thought. We spend our entire lives receiving stimuli and responses. This stimulus comes from the external or internal - it can come from within you or from the outside - and the brain reacts through symbols, images, mental representations, which are thoughts. So, we are constantly dealing with thoughts without knowing how to deal with them. We do not know how they are processed, we do not look at this. So, we do not know why our mind works the way it does, why there is this internal restlessness, this chatter, this movement of negative, possessive, obsessive thoughts... We do not know why this model of thought is processed within us.

We have a conditioned brain. Thoughts in us are restless, chatty, repetitive, negative, and compulsive. We are constantly involved in identifying with these thoughts, giving continuity to a present identity, which is the "I," the ego, which establishes itself as something alive because of thought, this element that comes from the past. We do not know the truth about ourselves because we do not know how the mind works within us, how it happens within us. Becoming aware of this requires learning about ourselves. Hence, the basis for all this is approaching the truth about what thinking is. This requires looking at how the mind works, observing thought in this moment, being aware of the thought as it happens in this moment, without putting someone present in this thought to get involved with it.

When a thought arises in you, you quickly identify yourself with thought, in this liking or disliking thought. So, at that moment, you place an identity present, which is this thinker, this experiencer. The thinker of this thought, the experiencer of this thought: this is the presence of the "I." Here lies the presence of the ego, of this "person." However, when you learn to look at thought without placing this thinker, this experiencer, at that moment there is a break in identity, in identification. So, this sense of "I" does not arise, this identification with the thought does not appear. And, at that moment, it is complete, it dissolves itself, because you are faced with this attention, this look at this moment without the past. We are, therefore, ending with the past, ending thought, ending the thinker. This is the true way of approaching Meditation, it is the true way of approaching the Truth about who we are, which is Self-awareness.

GC: Master, we have a question from a subscriber here on the channel. Marlon asked the following question: "What is the first step for beginners in Meditation?"

MG: Gilson, the idea of ??steps for Meditation, or the idea of ??steps to learn something is very common. Here, when we raise the issue of the Awakening of Consciousness or Spiritual Enlightenment, whatever we want to call it, we are not dealing with something that is found in the old form of a learning technique. Here, we have a new learning, which is learning about ourselves. In this new learning, there are no steps. Meditation, as well as this attention on this moment, as well as this Revelation of the Truth of this Being, of this Divine Reality, of That which is indescribable, of That which is beyond names and forms, this does not require steps. Step is something that is taken in time to perform a task. Here, it is not about a task, it is not about the need for time. You do not realize the Truth of God in time. This Reality of God presents itself, at this moment, as being the Reality of this Being, when the illusion of the "I," which is based on a life of memory, of recollection, of thought, is not there.

This thought, memory and remembrance, is the result of time, of chronological time. When you went through experiences in the past, you recorded these experiences - they were transformed into remembrances, into memories, into thoughts. Thus, these thoughts in us are the result of time, but something very interesting happens here: this very thought is not only the result of time, but it also constructs time. It constructs psychological time, which is the psychological tomorrow, the psychological future, speaking to us of a psychological past. See, we are faced with a construct of thought: this time that it constructs, which is the time idealized by it, to accomplish things in a future that it imagines, or to get rid of things that it does not want. We are faced with imagination, the projection of thought in this so-called "past" or "future."

Here, contact with the Reality of this Being, of this Divine Truth, is the end, not only of thought, but it is the end of time. So, we do not need steps; we need awareness, consciousness, presence, perception, in this instant, of Reality. The truth of the flourishing of Meditation is not in time, not in step by step, it is in the attention to this instant. When you learn to look without the thinker, without the observer, without the experiencer, in that instant you eliminate time. Time is exactly this separation between the thinker and his thoughts, between the experiencer and his experiences, between this "I" and the "not I." Time is the presence of tomorrow to accomplish. This requires technique, this requires practice, this requires step by step.

When we deal with the awareness of Meditation, we are dealing with the Revelation of your Being. This cannot be learned! No one can teach you Meditation; it reveals itself in this attention. All you really need is to pay attention to your reactions at this moment, and then Meditation happens naturally. The presence of Meditation is the absence of someone meditating, of someone practicing, of someone using a technique. It is the absence of a step-by-step process, because it is the absence of time. Notice that when you give full attention to something in this moment, your mind stops. When you are in front of a scene and your heart, your whole being, your whole mind is there, in that look, in that perception, in that feeling, the feeling of this moment puts an end to the movement of thought, puts an end to the movement of the mind.

It is like this, for example, when you are facing a sunset, or looking from a mountain at everything that is around you. In this immensity, in this gaze, there is no observer. It is just the gaze, it is just perception, it is just observation. Notice that, in this instant, there is something present that is not the "person," it is not the "me," it is not the movement of thought. So, since we were children, we know, yes, what Meditation is. And no one had to teach us; it was already there, as it continues here. So, it is not something that you learn with a technique, with a practice. It is something that you discover when, in this moment, there is this new learning, which is learning to look at thoughts, feelings, at all the reactions present here, in this instant. Not when you are on top of a mountain or facing a sunset, but driving your car, talking to someone, watching TV... Becoming aware of thought, or of a feeling, or of an emotion, without placing an identity present in that instant, is just looking. This gaze is a look without accepting, without rejecting, without agreeing, without disagreeing. Learning to look at our reactions without this element that comes from the past to choose, to judge, to compare, to make decisions, is to get closer to Meditation.

So, this is the only step - it is the first and last. The first and last step to Meditation is the awareness of this attention on each and every thought, feeling, emotion, sensation... It is the awareness of paying attention to gestures, to the tone of voice, to what the other person says... When we do not put someone present in this experience, there is only listening, there is only looking, there is only perceiving. This is the first step to Meditation; this is the last step to Meditation. It is here that we find the revelation of this discovery, of the Reality that is outside the "I," outside the ego, outside the mind.

GC: Master, we have another question, from another subscriber here on the channel. Eliana asked the following question: "Master, by practicing Real Meditation, is it possible to live the Intelligence of the Being in everyday life?"

MG: The Awareness of your Being is Intelligence. Bringing awareness to this moment, being aware of your reactions: how thought happens, how feeling arises, how emotion, in this instant, shows itself... Being aware of these gestures, of this tone of voice present when you speak, of listening to what the other says, without anyone present to agree or disagree, just listening, is bringing, to this instant, the Truth of the revelation of this Presence, of this Real Consciousness. The flourishing of this State free from the past, free from the thinker, the experiencer, of the one who listens to agree or disagree, of the one who looks to evaluate, to name, to classify; free from this observer, free from this thinker, free from this experiencer, we are before Intelligence. This is the real contact with the Truth of Wisdom. The basis for Wisdom requires the presence of Self-awareness. The truth of Self-awareness requires the presence of this attention on our reactions. This brings out, in this instant, the beauty of Meditation, the truth of Meditation, of Real Meditation, in this instant.

Then, yes, there comes the Awakening of this Divine Intelligence, which is Wisdom. So, the Truth of Meditation is that Meditation is something that is present when the "I" is not. So, when people talk about the practice of meditation or what it is to practice meditation. Here, we address the awareness of this vision, of this look without the "I," without the ego, without the past, which is this thinker, this experiencer, this observer. Looking at this moment is the real approach to Meditation in practice. You are not going to practice Meditation; you become aware of the presence of Meditation in a practical way, when the thinker does not interfere, when the experiencer does not get involved, when the observer does not name, does not classify. When you approach this moment, to deal with life as it happens, in this moment, externally or internally, without any involvement from this identity, which accepts, rejects, likes, dislikes; from this "person" who names, who classifies, who accepts, who rejects. in this moment, in this instant, we are facing this encounter with Life.

It is not someone having an encounter with life, it is Life revealing itself, in this instant, as the only Reality present. This Reality is the Reality of your Being, it is the Reality of God, it is the Reality of Life. Thus, we have, in this instant, the Revelation of Beauty, of Stillness, of Serenity. The Truth of Love, of Bliss and Peace is present. This is the Nature of Your Being, it is the Nature of God, it is the Nature of Truth. There is something in life, here, that thought cannot reach, that no opinion, belief, concept, idea comes even close to.

However, we are trying to do this through thought. When we have the nullification of this movement, which is the movement of thought, when thought. this psychological thought format dissolves, we have this Reality showing itself. It is indescribable. It is beyond names and forms. It is the Reality of God. It is the Reality about You. This is what we are together here, deepening, becoming aware of, for this Realization in this life. Okay?

GC: Thank you, Master, our time has ended. Thank you for this videocast. And, for those of you who are watching the video until the end, here is an invitation, which is to participate in the intensive meetings that Master Gualberto provides. In these meetings, Master Gualberto answers our questions directly, live, and much more than that: because the Master already lives in this Awakened State of Consciousness, he shares a field of Presence, an Energy field of pure Power and Grace. And, in this Energy field, in these meetings, we end up taking a ride by Master's Energy and, on this ride, in a natural and spontaneous way, we enter the meditative state, silence our minds and can have a comprehension of what is beyond intellectual understanding. So, here is the invitation.

In the first comment, pinned, there is the WhatsApp link to be able to participate in these meetings. In addition, give a "like" to the video and subscribe to the channel. And, Master, once again, thank you for the videocast.

You and self-image. The end of self-image. What is thought? What is thinking? Kundalini: what is it?

Here the question is: Kundalini, what is it? Note that approaching this subject requires much more than just a meaning within a search of words. The awareness of Kundalini is the awareness of Divine Truth. There is no real distance between this Revelation of the Truth about you and this direct comprehension of the Reality about God.

When the search is for God, the idea present in us is of an element that is separate, out there somewhere, to be found, distant to be seen, which is a mistake, which shows itself to be, in fact, an illusion, since the Truth about God is the Truth about Life; and we, as human beings, are not separate from life, we are within the context of life as it happens.

So, when people ask "What is Kundalini?" Kundalini is the awareness of your own Being, which is the vision of Life, which is the Reality of God. However, we cannot confuse what some out there understand by Kundalini with what we are talking about here. We are touching with you, working on with you about this vision of life, free from the ego. However, most people understand this expression - Kundalini - as an experience that someone, that we can have.

No, it is not an experience that you can have. There is no such element capable of experiencing that which is outside of the known, outside of time. This element would be the experiencer - the element that lives from experiences, that has experiences. This is how we see ourselves as people; as people we see ourselves as an element present in life to have experiences. This element to have experiences is the presence of an image that thought has established in us as being ourselves.

You, as someone, are a person. You are this self-image. You are this image that thought has been constructed. There is an image present; it is not separate from what you are as a person. Contact with Divine Reality, which is contact with Life, which is the Revelation of this Being, the Reality about You is different from the truth about you. You have the truth about yourself, the truth that thought has established, but there is a Reality about You that thought does not know, that the mind does not know. This Reality is this Real Consciousness, this Divine Consciousness. This Reality is the presence of Kundalini.

This is not an experience for you, this is not something that you achieve, this is not something that you accomplish; this is something that is present in this moment, being the Truth of Life, the Truth of Life when the illusion of the person is not. All our work here is towards this one purpose: to become aware of life as it happens, which represents the end of self-image, the end of the image that thought has established within you, being you, being the person.

So, what is Kundalini? Kundalini is this Presence, this Energy, this Reality, this indescribable Thing, this unnameable Thing. It is That, which present, represents the end of all confusion, disorder, problems, conflicts and suffering for the human being. Note, it is not an experience; it is the end of the element that experiences, that experiences internal states, conflicting states, created by thought, created within, in this self-image, sustained by this self-image, which remains constantly present in these various conflicts that exist in the personality.

The human being suffers because of the presence of the "I," the presence of the ego. It is the present self-image: how one represents oneself and how one shows oneself in life as it happens; this person who is constantly dealing with life based on beliefs, opinions, concepts, ideas, evaluations, comparisons, judgments, and so on. It is this element that comes from the past. The element that comes from the past present in you is the presence of thought.

You have no contact with the present moment without the past when thought is present. Your contact with this instant, free from thought, is a contact free from the past. We have moments, occasions when we find ourselves like this, in life, in the instant, in the present moment: contemplating the sunset, taking a dip in the sea, there, sitting while you relax, watching the waters of that stream flowing down, there, on the bank of that small river.

We have some moments in life when there is no thought, no record of remembrance, of memory, so, in that instant, the working place, the office, the bills to pay, the memory of family are no longer present. It is just the presence of a look at that stream, the waters flowing down there, the light on that small stream reflecting in your eyes, on that sunny morning. In that moment, the mind is completely free, temporarily, provisionally, of all movement of thought, of restlessness, of chatter. Then, an inner space opens up. In that instant, the past no longer exists, because memory no longer exists, thought no longer exists. It is the presence of Life in that encounter. It is not you meeting life, it is a look free from this thinker, this observer, this separation. In that encounter, the moment reveals itself as pure Presence, Silence, Energy: this is the encounter with Kundalini.

It is not a mystical experience, it is not about someone having a sensation. It is exactly the end of the experiencer, the end of this sense of separation between you and Life. So, what is Meditation? It is this encounter with the presence of the instant, free from the past, which represents the Truth of God revealing itself. When you learn to approach yourself, without the sense of someone in that approach - this happens at some moments in life, at some moments it happens - notice that there is no effort; it is exactly the absence of all effort. There is no concentration, there is no one there getting involved to achieve something through effort, through concentration, there is nothing to receive, conquer, obtain, achieve, and yet there is a moment of encounter with Beauty, with Love, with Life.

So, what is Kundalini? It is the Reality of God, when the "I" is not there, when the ego is not there. So, when we come across life as it happens, without this sense of the "I" present, in that moment there is no self-image, that is the end of the self-image. We are working with you on exactly that: this encounter with the Reality of your Being, which is the Awakening of this Energy, this Presence, this Real Consciousness, which is Kundalini.

Therefore, Kundalini is your Natural State of Being, free from the "I," in this contact with the present moment, in this contact with him or her, without any image of him or her. Any image of him or her is an image that comes from the past. When we have the end of self-image here, we have contact with him or her without any image of him or her. The common belief is that you know people; what you actually know about people is what thought in you has about them, has to say about them, has something to conclude about them, evaluates about them, it is what thought has to judge about them.

Our evaluation of experience from self-image is the illusion of an experiencer experiencing this experience. In this duality, illusion, ego-identity is established. When there is not this self-image, there is life in this moment. Life at this moment does not carry conflict, problems, disorder, confusion, or suffering. Getting closer to this moment requires comprehension of what thought is. Comprehending thought is ending the continuity of this psychological movement of self-image.

So, what is thought? Thought is this element present in us that evaluates, judges, compares, that deals with the present moment by creating a curtain, a separation, an artificial division, creating the illusion of this "I" and what it is seeing, of this "I," in this format of the thinker, about what it is thinking, in this format of the experiencer and about what it is experiencing. Thought is this element.

We do not know what it is to have contact with this instant free from thought. This contact is the presence of an approach of this moment where there is clarity of thinking. This is the truth about thinking. What is thinking? Thinking is the clarity of looking at this instant without the past, without thought, without someone involved in this division, in this separation. The awareness of this moment requires the presence of a quiet, silent brain, of a mind free of thoughts. Only at this moment is the truth about thinking possible.

We were not raised for a life free of thought. All our mental conditioning is for the continuity of a thinker behind thoughts, of an experiencer behind experiences, of an observer observing from the past. This gaze free from the past is the presence of the Reality of Life. This gaze free from the past is the presence of Life, without the "I," without the thinker, experiencer, observer.

So the truth about thinking is like the truth about feeling, it is like the truth about action - there is no one in the action. This moment of stillness and silence, of presence, of awareness of the Reality of Life, here and now, is the presence of Meditation, which is the presence of this Divine Reality, of this Being. So, there is a quality of action that is possible, that is not born of the "I," that is not born of the ego; there is a quality of thinking that is free of thought; there is a quality of feeling that is free of an element present in that feeling, or that emotion, or that sensation. Here we are faced with something unknown to thought, but something possible for you in your True Nature, in your Real Nature.

The Awakening of Consciousness is the Flourishing of your Natural Divine State, which is the presence of the Reality of God, the only Reality present, the only Truth present. The truth that we know from thought is the illusory truth of an identity that sees itself separate from life itself, that sees itself acting from memory, from remembrance, from the past, that sees itself feeling from the illusion of an identity in this feeling.

Here, together, looking towards the end of this psychological condition, towards a new brain, towards a new mind, towards a new approach to this moment, which is life happening, without the experiencer, without the "I," is the only thing that matters. Here, together, on the weekends - Saturday and Sunday -, in online meetings, we are working on this with you: the Flourishing of your Natural State of Being, the comprehension of Truth, of this absence of the "I," of this absence of the ego, the Beauty of this Kundalini Awakening, of your Natural State of Being.

Here, in the video description, you have our WhatsApp link to participate in these online meetings on the weekends - Saturday and Sunday. In addition to these meetings, we have in-person meetings and also retreats. If what you just heard makes any sense to you, I would like to extend this invitation. Leave your "like," subscribe to the channel and leave here in the comments: "Yes, that makes sense." Ok? And we'll see you. Thanks for the meeting and see you soon!

Joel Goldsmith | The Foundation of Mysticism | What is Self-awareness? | Marcos Gualberto

GC: Hello, everyone! We are here for another videocast. Once again, Master Gualberto is here with us. Thank you, Master, for being here. Today I am going to read an excerpt from a book by Joel Goldsmith called "The Foundation of Mysticism." In an excerpt from this book, Master, Joel makes the following comment: "Then we discover that we have attained greater knowledge of spiritual consciousness, a greater reach of consciousness itself." In this excerpt, Joel talks about attaining greater knowledge of spiritual consciousness. Regarding this issue, can the Master share with us his vision of Self-awareness, of what Self-awareness is?

MG: Gilson, the most profound and significant discovery in life - one of them, not to say the greatest of all discoveries - consists in comprehending the truth about who we are. This comprehension requires the presence of an entirely new look at oneself. This is how we get closer to the truth about who we are. The approach to this truth about who we are gives us a clear vision of the reality that we bring, of the reality that is present. Therefore, the presence of Self-awareness is something fundamental. Your question is: "What is Self-awareness?" Self-awareness is the awareness of the truth of what we are at this moment, in this moment. There are two aspects here, Gilson. The first is the truth that is present in what we express at this moment, within this context of life. Life consists of relations that occur: relations with objects, with ideas, with people, with situations, things that arise, happen. Thus, there is a direct relation between ourselves and all of this. We are unaware of the truth of these relations, of what is actually occurring, happening, because we are unaware of who we are in this context.

The first aspect of the comprehension of Truth, of Reality, is the truth about who we are in this context, and the second is Reality, which is also present, but remains unknown to most of us. This Reality reveals itself in the Awakening of Consciousness, in this real vision of life, but we cannot have this real vision of life while living in ignorance. The absence of comprehension of the Truth about ourselves is the presence of ignorance; we need to free ourselves from ignorance. Thus, we basically need to learn about ourselves, to become aware of who you are. There is a difference between becoming aware of who you are, in what you express yourself to be, in what you demonstrate yourself to be, in what you seem to be, and having an idea of ??what you would like to be, having an ideal of how you should be or need to be. What is present here, at this moment, within our relations? Who are you? Here the question is: Who am I? We are in a model of life where we have a conditioned mind, already programmed by thought to maintain a form of expression that continues. We are not aware of life at this moment, because we are looking at life from this model, from this conditioned mind, from this conditioned brain.

Our answers are answers to life - answers that come from the past, from the way we feel we are, believe we are, seem to be. You feel like someone in your relation with the other. This someone, due to this conditioning that we bring, carries fear, envy, jealousy, ambition... carries sadness, worries, anxiety, depression... We have several problems linked to this psychological condition of a conditioned mind. This is the truth about who we are in this context with life, in this relation with it, in this relation with others, in this relation with the ideas we have, with ourselves and with situations that happen. Thus, we have this present aspect that needs to be comprehended, investigated, clarified. Hence the need to comprehend ourselves, which requires the presence of Self-awareness. Because, based on this vision of who we are, of who expresses themselves here, at this moment, within life, in experiences, we can go beyond this psychological condition of a conditioned mind, of a conditioned brain, of a consciousness already programmed to act in life in this way.

Therefore, the truth of the revelation of Self-awareness is the end of this psychological condition of what you are, as you see yourself, for this Reality of That which is you in your Divine Nature, in your Essential Nature. This is the Truth about you when the illusion of this "I," this "me," this person, is undone. You are assuming a truth about yourself, based on what thought is dictating, based on the conditioning you have received, within a mistaken view of yourself.

So, we are faced with something fundamental here, which is the presence of the comprehension of the Truth about ourselves. This new way of learning about ourselves is different from anything you have ever learned out there about other things.

You learn to drive a car by practicing driving. You learn a language by studying grammar and practicing conversations. You learn science by researching, by looking through a microscope at the movement of cells in a laboratory. This way of learning that we have, technically, about any other subject out there, is completely different from this way of learning about ourselves. It requires a different way of looking at this experiment, at this experimentation - here the laboratory is you. Observation is the observation of all this internal movement, which is the movement of consciousness. This requires a very clear instrument to look at, to become aware of how we function. That is why we discard, from the beginning, this idea of ??what we should be, what we need to be, what we can be, how it is generally done.

For most people, self-knowledge is a practice, it is a technique, it is an exercise, it is something that is learned to change the person, to transform the person into a better person. Here, when we use the expression "Self-awareness," we are using it as the basis for the Awakening of Divine Intelligence, the Wisdom of God, the Truth about this Divine Reality, beyond the mind. Thus, Self-awareness here requires a look without any ideal, target, purpose or objective. It is simply looking directly at what is happening here and now, within you, at your reactions. When you get closer to yourself, you look, and clearly perceive the presence of envy, jealousy, fear, ambition, anger, all this internal movement of thought generating worries, conflicting desires and all kinds of disorder. Learning to look at yourself without any intention to change, modify, resolve things, choose. in this idea of ??what you need to do or need to change.

We are faced with a new way of looking at our reactions. It is looking without this element that, when looking, disagrees, does not like, wants to change, makes choices. This requires the presence of attention on our reactions. Here, when we touch on the beauty of attention with you, we are talking about a look without the observer. This is the real way of learning about ourselves. This is what we are exploring here, with you, delving deeper here, with you. So, something beyond this condition emerges, something beyond this "I" - this is the self-discovery of this new learning. We have several videos here on the channel, delving deeper into this subject.

GC: Master, we have a question from a subscriber here on the channel. He asks the following question: "The more experiences with Reality, the more enlightened the person is?"

MG: No, Gilson, it is not about an experience, it is not an experience! An experience requires the presence of a present element, having experiences. Awakening is exactly the discarding of this experiencer. The vision that one has is to accumulate knowledge and experience, because the belief is that this will shape someone to attain Awakening. The Reality of Awakening is the Awareness of Truth of this moment, without someone. Therefore, it is not about experiences. Another important point here is to know that these experiences that the person acquires are now part of the structure of this person, of this experiencer. And these experiences are only recognized because they are part of the prior knowledge that he already has, that he already brings. This recognizer is the experiencer, and these experiences are still part of a condition linked to the past. You have awareness recognizing what you already hold as prior knowledge, as information already acquired.

The element present in this entire process is the ego, it is the 'I', whereas the Reality of this Flourishing is the end of the experiencer and, therefore, the end of experience. We are faced with something completely different from what thought idealizes, seeks, pursues, or may experience and naturally store as part of its collection, of what it has, what it knows, and what it will later recognize. Here is precisely about the discarding of that quality of thought, of that quality of experience. This is the end of the 'I', the end of the ego, the end of that experiencer.

What we need, at this moment, is awareness of the truth about Self-knowledge, and not experiences. It is not about experiences, it is about a new learning about ourselves, here and now.

GC: Master, we have another question from another subscriber here on the channel. Durval makes the following comment, asking: "Great point. Does time exist without thought?"

MG: Gilson, time is thought. The idea of ??time is an idea that thought has been constructed. There is no such thing as a psychological tomorrow, as a psychological past. The memories that you have are memories that are happening here, at this moment. They are memories of episodes that occurred in chronological time. At some point, in the chronological past, you went through some experience. This experience has been stored in the brain, it is now part of the information that thought has, of something that happened in the past. But it is in the chronological past, at some point, two days ago, two months ago, two years ago, or twenty years ago! That is chronological time. So, when you go through an experience, the brain has recorded that experience. Now, that experience is a memory, it is a recollection, it is therefore a thought. When you remember this here, at this moment, the memory is of something that happened in the past, but in the chronological past.

There is no such thing as a psychological past or a psychological future, or a present for that "me," for this "I," which would be a present, a present psychological moment. There is no such thing; we are only faced with thought. It is thought that speaks to us of the future or the past, but what thought is telling us concerns itself; and not the future, this future is not real; and not about the past, because this past is not real. Here we are faced with something fundamental to be comprehended, because the various forms of problems that we have are situated in the condition in which thought finds itself. It is thought that is producing in you anxiety, worry, fear, desires. And all of this implies the presence of time. Your fear is of something that could happen to you tomorrow.

See, at this moment thought has projected itself into the future. It is imagining a tomorrow where something bad could happen to you. This suffering is psychic suffering, it is mental suffering, it is suffering that has, as its principle, thought. Thought brought time, projected the future; thought is sustaining fear. There is no such thing as fear without thought. So, we are faced with something fundamental to be seen. The presence of fear, this is just one example, but all these pictures of psychic suffering that we know: anxiety, anguish, depression, guilt, anger at someone. All of this, when you look closely, clearly, this is present because of the presence of time, which is constructed by thought. It is the presence of thought, the presence of time.The presence of time, which is thought, is the presence of someone's anger, of someone's fear, of fear of the future, of fear of the past, of fear of losing things. It is fundamental for the end of suffering - of this psychic suffering - the end of this psychological condition, which is the condition created by thought, sustaining time.

This encounter with the Reality of this Being, this encounter with the Reality of the Divine, is the revelation of That which is present outside the mind, outside of thought and, therefore, outside of time. The awareness of God, the awareness of Awakening, is the vision of life, which is timeless, which is not placed in memory, which is not placed in the idea of ??past, present or future.

Therefore, in fact, there is no time without thought, except chronological time.

You have an appointment tomorrow afternoon; tomorrow will be another day. So, there is calendar time, there is clock time, because the appointment is going to be at a certain time.There is clock time, there is calendar time, we have time being marked on the chronometer. Between sunrise and sunset, we have time, but there is no such thing as this psychological time. This psychological time, in us, is being monitored, recorded by a mistaken movement of thought. This thought that monitors, controls, manages this time, which is psychological time, is psychological thought. It is this element present there, in you, that sustains the idea of ??an "I," of a person, of this "me." Look at your head and you will realize that during the day, much of the chronological time - which is between sunrise and sunset - psychologically you are occupied with mental time, with the time of the mind, going to the past or going to the future. Thus, the mind is constantly in this movement of thought, in this internal chatter. This is the movement of psychological time, where the "I" lives, where the ego lives.

Here, the real approach of life in this instant, is the beauty of the awareness of this encounter with this instant, where there is no time, where there is no longer this movement of psychological thought, sustaining the illusion of a present entity that is the person, who is always going to the past or to the future, living in thought. This is what we are here, working on with you, becoming aware of. We need to discover the Truth of Life, of the real Divine Life, of the real Life free from time, free from thought.

GC: Thank you, Master, our time is now over. Thank you for this videocast. And for those of you who are watching the videocast until the end and really want to live these truths, we invite you to participate in the meetings that Master Gualberto offers.

These are intensive weekend meetings. They are available online, in person and also as retreats lasting several days. In these meetings, in addition to the Master answering our questions directly, something much deeper and more powerful happens. Because the Master already lives in this Awakened State of Consciousness, He shares an energy field around him. And in these meetings, we end up entering this energy field with the Master; we end up being carried by this energy of Master's Presence. And carried by it, spontaneously and naturally, we quiet our minds, we enter the state of Meditation, and we can have a vision of what is beyond all the limitations of our intellectual knowledge.

So, here's the invitation. In the first comment, pinned, there's the WhatsApp link, so you can participate in these meetings. Also, give a like to the video and subscribe to the channel. And, once again, Master: thank you for the videocast.

Joel Goldsmith | Leave Your Nets | What is ego? | Divine Reality | Marcos Gualberto

GC: Hello, everyone! We are here for another videocast. Once again, Master Gualberto is here with us. Thank you, Master, for being here. Master, today I am going to read an excerpt from a book by Joel Goldsmith called "Leave Your Nets." In an excerpt from this book, Master, Joel Goldsmith makes the following comment: "Yes, I know it sounds selfish, but we don't have much to offer this world until we have some proof of the fruit of these principles." Master, in this excerpt, Joel comments on selfishness. Can the Master share his vision of what ego is?

MG: Gilson, the ego is this element that sees itself present as the author of actions, the author of experiences, being the experiencer of these experiences. It is this element that sees itself present as the thinker of thoughts, the one who, in emotion, is someone present in emotion. In this feeling, it is someone present in this feeling. Therefore, the ego is basically the idea of ??someone present. This feeling of being a person, this sensation of being a person, this thought of person, present within us, is the presence of an illusory identity that sees itself within life being this entity - this "I," this "me" - the most important element in this context, in the context of its experiences, thoughts, emotions, and actions. This ends up leading us to a condition of existence, of life, where the sense of this "I" is the most important element in this context.

Thus, we are constantly moving through life from this center, this element that is surrounded by things, people, experiences, and situations that are happening. This center is an artificial center that is present, created by thought, sustained by a set of beliefs, opinions, ideas, and concepts. And we are constantly reaffirming the life of this "I," the life of this "person," this "me," this illusory identity. And we do this because of the presence of ignorance. We live in an ignorant way. We ignore the Truth about ourselves. We are not aware of who we are in this contact with the present moment, in this contact with life happening. Thus, this internal condition of ignorance, of illusion, sustains for each of us an existence in separation.

There is the presence of life and there is the presence of someone. When you look at nature, you perceive the presence of the duality of nature. There is the positive and the negative, the masculine and the feminine. There is birth and death, light and darkness. But what is the reason for this internal duality in us? Why is there the presence of this psychological separation present in us - which is the idea of ??this "I" and the "not I," of this someone present and the world out there? Why do we live psychologically in duality, between violence and non-violence, love and hate, pleasure and pain, happiness and unhappiness, attachment and detachment, desire and fear? What is behind this internal condition in which we find ourselves? What is present is the lack of comprehension, the lack of vision, the lack of direct perception of this present element that sustains this condition. This element is the ego.

So, when you ask: "What is ego?"... The ego is this "me," this "person," this sense of someone present, looking at the experience from a mask. Something we have addressed here with you is this. Note that the word "person" comes from "persona," as does the word "personality." And the persona were those masks that were used in theaters in Ancient Greece. So, in the past, in a play, the actors would enter wearing a mask. This mask was the persona. The word person and the word personality come from this persona, which is this mask. We have a way of dealing with life, of dealing with others, of dealing with ourselves: it is from a mask, from an idea that we have about who we are, about who the other is, about what life represents. All of this is seen from this perspective. This perspective is the perspective of the "I," of the ego, of this "me," of this persona, of this person.

The encounter with Divine Reality is the discarding of this mask. It is the discarding of this psychological condition, of this idea of ??someone present: someone in thought, someone in feeling, someone in action, someone in interaction with the present moment. This "someone" does not exist. We are faced with a psychological condition, constructed by thought. In this sense, this is what we are. So, yes, every response we are giving to life, from this psychological condition, is very real, but it is in this condition, in a condition of ignorance. So, every disturbance, confusion, disorder, suffering in our lives, is something present, because our life is the particular life of this center, which moves in an egocentric, personal, particular, self-interested way. This is the intention of the person, of this "me."

This contact with life without the presence of this separation is life revealing itself, without the person. It is life itself assuming its own space. In this space where life is, there is no conflict, no contradiction, no disorder, no confusion. It is in the idea of ??being someone, it is in the attitude of being someone, it is in the model of the person, of this "me," of this someone, that problem, the problem of life, is present. This is the problem of the "I"! Life is Beauty, it is Love, it is Freedom, it is Happiness, life is completeness, not the life that thought knows, that we know in this personal consciousness.

I refer to Real Life, Divine Life, the True Life of this Being - this is the Life of God. It is what we are together, here, deepening, comprehending, clarifying, becoming aware of for ourselves, in a direct way. It is not listening to these speeches, listening to these words and intellectualizing about them, forming new beliefs, adding to the beliefs that you already have these new beliefs that you believe you are receiving here. It is not a belief, it is something to be seen, and when it is seen, it is a fact, it is a reality. It is not an idea to be put into action in the future. There is no such thing as that future.

We cannot continue to live our lives based on ideas. Life is Real when we are free in living, in life itself. We do not need ideas, we need comprehension, vision, clarity, God-Realization, which is what we are working on here with you. This is the end of the "I." This is the end of the ego.

GC: Master, we have a question from a subscriber here on the channel. Rony asks the following question: "Master, is the practice of self-observation the best way to get rid of the ego?"

MG: Gilson, the truth of approaching this look at oneself is to become aware of what is present here. Learning to listen, to look, to perceive, without someone present interfering in it, involved with it, wanting to modify, transform, do something with it, is the approach to Self-awareness. The basis for Self-awareness - yes, in Self-awareness we have a clear need for this look, which is self-observation. Self-observation is the basis for this Self-awareness, but it is the truth of Self-awareness that brings clarity to what is present here, without any idea of ??how to modify or transform it into something else. Thus, the basis for this Awakening, for this Realization, is the comprehension of ourselves, which is Self-awareness.

Self-observation is something that gives you the basis for this attention to your reactions. Therefore, there are several elements involved in direct work towards this Awakening. In general, people use the expression "self-observation" or "observing oneself" in a mistaken way. It is not about someone present observing oneself. There is a way to get closer to this look at this moment, to listen, to perceive. And the only real way to do this is by bringing attention to our reactions. An attention that, when present, places you before this moment, without this element that is the "I."

When there is the presence of this attention, there is no separation between the observer and what he is seeing. There is no separation between the one who is present in this hearing of the sound - there is the presence of the sound. There is the presence of listening, but there is no separation between the one who listens and the sound that is being heard. Listening reveals the sound, looking reveals the vision, there is no one in it - this is the presence of attention. It does require this looking at ourselves. But it is not just looking at ourselves, it is learning to look at what is present here and now. There is no separation between the one on the outside and the one who is inside. This psychological separation is an illusion! So, it is about this "looking." You start to notice these reactions, the gestures, the tone of voice, the speech. whatever is present here, as well as the actions, whatever is arising here, that which is present, coming from you, coming from the other, arising as life, everything here needs to be seen without the "I," in this looking. This is the presence of Meditation.

When Meditation is present, there is a look without choice, a perception without separation between what perceives and what is being perceived. There is a verification in life. There is a perception of the moment. Thus, all of this is part of this encounter with the awareness of this Being, with the comprehension of life, with the vision of the moment. There is no one present in this moment, there is no one present in life. There is no one present in the answers being given, in comprehension happening, in action arising. Everything is present as life, being life. Thus, the real form of this approach to ourselves requires a new vision of these reactions that arise in this moment.

We cannot have a formula as we wish. Some think that meditation is the path to Enlightenment; others may think that self-investigation is the path to Enlightenment; others may think that self-observation is the path to Enlightenment. You see, we cannot particularize these expressions without comprehending the context in which they are found. All of this is part of the work of this Awakening, but it does not specify a technique, a system, a method, because we will be faced with an illusion, a belief, a suggestion still given by thought.

The fundamental element in this Awakening continues to be the mysterious, indescribable presence of Divine Grace. All the work that occurs, that happens within this Awakening process, is not the determining element. The determining element for this Flourishing is the power of this Grace, it is the power of this Divine Presence. This is what makes the Awareness of God possible, it is the Presence of God Himself. It is not the idea, it is not the belief, it is not the image that we call "God." We are talking about the Reality of this Mystery. We can have beliefs, ideas, images about God, but that is not what we are dealing with here. We are talking about this Mystery, this indescribable, unnameable Reality that, when present, does everything. So, approaching this work is allowing this Reality to find Its space and do this work here in this body, in this mind.

GC: Master, we have another question from another subscriber here on the channel. Guilherme asks the following question: "Master, how can we abandon what we are still attached to?"

MG: Gilson, this is another very interesting point. We have ideas, we have ideals, we have purposes, objectives. Tired of purposes and objectives and material achievements, the time comes when we turn to fulfilling these ideals, objectives and purposes that are so-called "spiritual." And we end up learning many things. This learning, as we know it, is acquiring knowledge of things. And we end up acquiring this knowledge, in this old learning about spiritual life, that we need to free ourselves from our attachments. But what is the reality of attachment? Why do we need an ideal to free ourselves from attachment?

Some have the ideal of freeing themselves from attachments. This or that thing or those things to which they feel attached. So, "I need to free myself from my attachments." This is the ideal of detachment to keep turning toward greater detachment and becoming someone detached. You do not need to get rid of your attachments, you need to become aware of the illusion of this present element, which sees itself as attached and which may also see itself, in a little while, as detached. This separation between what I am attached to and what I am not attached to, this separation is being created by this present element in us, which is the person, the "me," the "I."

In this format of thinking, we have attachments and we have detachments, but we do not investigate the nature of the "I." Your problem is not your problem; your problem is not your attachment. The absence of detachment, that is not your problem. Your problem is the presence of this "I." As long as we are placing our lives in the idea of ??someone present in life, this life of ours, this particular life, is the particular illusory life of a present identity. Whether this person recognizes his attachments or recognizes his detachments, he will still continue in the illusion of existing as someone, being the center of his experiences, of his responses to life, to himself, to others, to the world.

This is where we run into the problem: the problem is not the things you have. The problem is the idea that you exist having things. It is someone present having things. It is someone present existing as someone. It is not about letting go of objects, but about letting go of the "I," this ego, this person. The real letting go of the ego, the real letting go of the "I," consists in the comprehension of the nature, the structure of that which represents this person. This requires Self-awareness.

There is a huge branch coming into your yard. It comes from your neighbor's tree - he has a huge tree and he has a branch going into your yard. So, the leaves come and they fall into your yard. You are always cleaning your yard, removing the leaves, but the leaves keep coming from that branch of the tree that is in your neighbor's yard. That branch extends over the wall, goes over your wall and the leaves fall into your yard. And you are always cleaning those leaves, and you look up and there is the branch always producing leaves. So, we want to get rid of these leaves: by cleaning the yard. There is no way to get rid of these leaves in a real way, you will not get rid of these leaves by cleaning your yard. It is something provisional, it is something temporary. You clean it and in a little while the leaves are there again. Unless you get rid of that branch, which is coming from your neighbor's tree and is crossing over your wall into your yard, you will always have leaves in your yard.

So, we are looking for palliative, secondary solutions to primary problems, to fundamental problems. The problem is the presence of an identity here and now, an illusory identity, the sense of someone, who sees himself as having things, possessing things, controlling things. It is the end of the "I," it is the end of the ego, it is the end of problems.

GC: Thank you, Master, our time is now over. Thank you for this videocast. And for those of you who are following the videocast until the end and have this desire to truly live these truths, we invite you to participate in the intensive meetings that Master Gualberto shares. In these meetings, which are online weekend meetings - there are also in-person meetings and multi-day retreats... In these meetings, Master Gualberto, in addition to answering our questions directly, shares this State of Presence in which He lives, and in this sharing there is a field of energy, of Power and Grace. And we are carried by Master's energy, and, by being carried along with, naturally and spontaneously, we enter a state of Meditation, we quiet our minds, and we can have a vision of what is beyond intellectual understanding.

So, here is the invitation: in the first comment, pinned, there is the WhatsApp link to be able to participate in these meetings. In addition, give a "like" the video, subscribe to the channel, and leave comments here with other questions for us to bring to the next videocasts. And once again, Master, thanks for the videocast.
