This Supreme Reality that is You

 

This is a moment of encounter with the Reality. It is one more moment with the Presence, in which we are facing these living words. The words, in Satsang, are born from this point, that is not particular. This point is that "place" we call Consciousness, Presence. Once again, you are facing a direct talk like that.

Satsang is the encounter with the Truth, the encounter with the Reality, it is the time to be together, to approach this perception.

The basic thing in these meetings is what we have been talking to you: the illusion of that thought, of that feeling that keeps this mistaken basis - the basis of someone present. We are deepening  it, working this experiential understanding, what I call direct observation. This experiential understanding, this direct observation, is the certainty that there is no such separate entity. This causes a very big impact, very real, there, inside you. It generates a profound effect on the life of the one who is in Satsang.

This is not an intellectual understanding. There are so many teachers out there ... You must have already  passed through many of them, but right now, you are no longer interested on it..

In Satsang, you are working this experiential understanding, this significant effect on your lives. The intellectual understanding, intellectual comprehension, the mere verbal knowledge, does not transform anyone.

It is needed this direct Knowing, Being and direct Feeling, and that is what you have in front of  a speech like this, in Satsang. Here, you are not listening to a teacher, a theorist. We do not deal with theory but with this direct contact, experimental, with the reality of your own Being, this non-dual Self, this unthinkable Being, unspeakable, this Supreme Reality which is You in your True Nature.

What is the basis of the sense of separation?

The basis is unconsciousness. You are born unconscious, grow up unconscious, become teenager, young, get married, have children, become grandfather and die totally unaware, carrying this sense of separateness, all conflict that life represents for this illusion of separation.

Pure unconsciousness! Wakening or Realization of God, or Enlightenment is this flowering of Consciousness. The common state of man, the usual state of the human being, is of  whole and complete unconsciousness. Life, in this unconsciousness, is conflict and suffering. This is the nature of the egoic mind.

Notice that my invitation to you to this dive in your Authentic Nature, Real, is for you to realize, understand and feel by yourself - not intellectually, because this is impossible, but experientially and directly - that You are not a separate entity.

This "you", to whom I am talking to, is the Consciousness. This Consciousness where the flowers, the sun, the stars, the sea with its waves, the people in their office, in your workplace, your clients, friends, neighbors and relatives appear.

Nothing is separate from what You are! These are only names that the mind understands as entities and separate things from what You are, but this is the misconception, the illusion. Everything is happening in you, appearing in you, in what You are. You are the Life! Everything is appearing in You! You are the car that you drive, the flat tire, the own nail in this tire ... You are that Consciousness, in which the entire universe appears!

All your misery and unhappiness are in your head, not in your life. They are in this illusory and separatist mind; in this mind and its beliefs. Without this, there is no conflict, there is no fear and no suffering.

The fear is only possible when the sense of separation is present. If you are not separated from living and dying, there is no fear. Life and death, health and disease, the negative and the positive, show up as appearances in what you are. Besides being all that we have just said, you are beyond all this, beyond all appearances, beyond the own body and its sensory functions that perceive the tire and the nail in the tire. You are beyond the senses, beyond the experience "mind, body and world."

I know it sounds very absurd.

Participant: It´s very confusing.

Master Gualberto: This “confusion” is also an appearance in what You are. A blessing. A real approach on it makes all your feelings, perceptions, which have appeared and have been seen in a frightened way, now, begin to be seen in a completely different way.

Before, your feelings and thoughts have only confirmed the sense of being someone. Now, even with all this nonsense, with this stupidity of the egoic mind and what it creates, you look at all this and you know, you have this Knowing, this Being, this Feeling that everything is just a dream.

There is no any separate experience from this ultimate Truth.

All people who come to me today are invited to this Happiness. The perception of God present is pure Happiness, Love, Peace and Freedom. Satsang means the encounter with Happiness –the only Happiness possible - that is in this Realization about what You are, in which all Divine Will appears; the well-known good things or bad things, sad, stupid and absurd things like cruelty, violence, terrorism and all suffering.

Once this fundamental ignorance is exposed and becomes clear, these thoughts, feelings and the activities motivated by this egoic mind, all the madness of this illusion, this sense of separation, begin to "fall", begin to fade, little by little.

Even though thoughts, activities and feelings still appear driven by these vasanas (latent tendencies of the egoic mind in its on misunderstanding), they cannot be fed by this fundamental misconception that there is someone in it, and, then, they will be fading, because there is no longer how to maintain this continuity.

So, the mind becomes entirely free from this confusion, from all anxiety, all lie, all illusion, from all that has always characterized its continuity, its movement.

Therefore, I recommend: do not get confused with the thoughts, they are not real. All thoughts are a fraud, an illusion.

When this happens inside you, when it is clear within you, the world is no longer a potential of peace, love and happiness. This is not just an imaginary thing that still produces more weight, more guilt and more suffering.

In fact, the world is now experienced in a direct way, life is experienced in a direct way, something that is lived inside. You are no longer in a hostile world, you are now in a living world, vibrant, friendly, full of this Divine Presence, with the certainty that the Grace is taking care of everything, that everything is right, that everything is in the right place.

So, knowing the world is being the world, and being the world is to love the life and to love the life is to be beyond an imaginary world, a world created by the thought, a colorful world of concepts, beliefs and ideas, a world loaded with the burden of duality, of separateness. Life without this weight, the world without this burden, is this "Knowing-Being."

Forty-one people in this room and, however, a single Presence, a Single Reality, a Single Awareness, a Single Truth.

Let’s stop here? Grateful for the presence of all. Namaste!
