Q & A

What is the core belief presented in the transcript about the nature of existence?

The core belief is that we are all one, and the sense of separation is an illusion. This realization is meant to bring about a sense of unity, peace, and love.

How does the speaker describe the process of realizing one's true nature?

The speaker suggests that realizing one's true nature involves accepting that the mind and body are not the true self, and that the true self is akin to space, omnipresent and foundational to everything.

What is the role of the mind in creating the illusion of separation?

The mind, through its beliefs and identification with the body and personal stories, creates the illusion of separation. It defends these beliefs, making it difficult to see beyond them to the truth of oneness.

How does the concept of space help in understanding the true nature of self?

The concept of space is used as an analogy to describe the true nature of self because, like space, the self is not an object that can be seen, touched, or thought about, yet it is the foundation upon which everything else exists.

What is the significance of dreams in the context of this spiritual journey?

Dreams serve as evidence that the reality we experience is not fixed and that we can exist beyond the limitations of our bodies and minds. They illustrate the concept that our waking life, like a dream, is also an illusion.

How does the speaker suggest we should approach the concept of Oneness?

The speaker suggests that we should accept the concept of Oneness without doubt, regardless of our current experiences. Doubts and second-guessing only serve to keep the illusion of separation alive.

What is the role of the ego in resisting the realization of one's true nature?

The ego resists the realization of one's true nature by maintaining a sense of control and separateness. It clings to identities and personal stories, defending them as if they were real.

How can one move beyond the limitations of the mind?

One can move beyond the limitations of the mind by understanding and embodying the realization that they are not their thoughts, and by stepping out of the illusion to recognize oneself as the witness or awareness behind the thoughts.

What is the relationship between changing oneself and the world according to the speaker?

The speaker posits that if one changes their inner reality to embody love and peace, this change will be reflected in the outer reality they experience. Since everything is a reflection of oneself, personal change can lead to a change in the world.

What is the ultimate goal of the spiritual journey as described in the transcript?

The ultimate goal is to awaken to the truth of one's true nature, which is a state of unity and oneness. This involves transcending the illusions of separation and personal identity to experience a state of deep peace, love, and joy.

How does the speaker describe the process of awakening?

The process of awakening involves questioning, a sense of discontent, or feeling lost, which is the ego's resistance to the truth. With perseverance and surrender, one can lift the veil of illusion and realize the beauty and simplicity of their true nature.

What is the speaker's view on the role of spiritual teachers and their teachings?

The speaker suggests that spiritual teachers and their teachings are merely pointers to the truth. One should not just believe what they say but should go to the experiences that their words are pointing to, as that is the only way to truly understand and realize the truth.

Keywords

💡Oneness

Oneness refers to the concept that all things in existence are interconnected and part of a single entity or consciousness. In the video, it is the central theme that suggests our true nature is a unified whole, where the illusion of separation is dispelled, and we recognize our intrinsic connection with everything else. The script emphasizes the realization of Oneness as a profound and transformative insight.

💡Illusion of Separation

The illusion of separation is the false belief that individuals are distinct and isolated from one another and the rest of the universe. The video argues that this perception is an illusion, as we are all fundamentally one. It is the root of suffering and the cause of feelings of loneliness, as per the script's narrative.

💡Direct Experience

Direct experience implies a firsthand encounter or perception that is not mediated by intellectual understanding or interpretation. The video emphasizes that the realization of Oneness comes from direct experience rather than through concepts or beliefs. It suggests that true understanding of being 'space' or 'Oneness' is accessible through present-moment awareness.

💡Space (as a metaphor)

In the video, space is used as a metaphor for our true nature, which is invisible, ungraspable, and yet the foundation of all existence. It illustrates how we, like space, are the context in which all things occur and exist, including bodies and minds. The metaphor helps in grasping the concept of Oneness by comparing it to something that is universally recognized and experienced.

💡Mind

The mind, as discussed in the video, is the faculty of consciousness and thought that often creates and perpetuates the illusion of separation. It is identified as the source of doubt and defense against the realization of Oneness. The video encourages viewers to go beyond the mind's limitations to experience the truth of their nature.

💡Character

A character, in the context of the video, refers to the individual identity or persona that one adopts based on personal history, beliefs, and experiences. The script suggests that these characters are not the true self but are instead creations of the mind, which we mistakenly identify with, thus perpetuating the illusion of separation.

💡Dreams

Dreams are used in the video as an analogy to illustrate the illusory nature of our perceived reality. Just as we believe in the reality of dreams while we are in them but later realize they were not real, the video posits that our waking life is also a dream from which we must awaken to understand our true, unified nature.

💡Ego

The ego, as mentioned in the script, is the sense of self that is based on personal identity and individuality. It is portrayed as a resistance to the truth of Oneness and the cause of suffering. The video suggests that the ego's attachment to the illusion of separation must be surrendered to experience the reality of Oneness.

💡Awakening

Awakening in the video refers to the process of realizing one's true nature beyond the illusion of separation and the ego. It involves a shift from identifying with the character or ego to recognizing oneself as the witness or pure awareness. The path to awakening is depicted as a journey of questioning, surrender, and ultimately, a profound inner transformation.

💡Witness

The term 'witness' is used to describe the position of pure awareness or consciousness that observes thoughts, emotions, and experiences without identification. In the video, becoming the witness is presented as a step towards awakening, where one realizes they are not their thoughts or personal stories but the space in which they occur.

💡Manifestation

Manifestation, as discussed in the script, is the process by which the realization of Oneness allows for the creation of reality from a place of unity and oneness. It suggests that when one is in tune with the truth of their nature, they can bring about positive change in their life and the world by aligning with the infinite potential that exists beyond the mind.

Highlights

The world will awaken to the realization that we are all one, and separation is an illusion.

The spiritual journey involves profound realizations that bring love and peace.

Coming to the realization of Oneness is like a warm and peaceful welcome home.

Accept that you have been fooled into believing in the illusion of separation your whole life.

You are not the body or mind - these are just identifications that create the illusion of separation.

The mind defends its belief that you are the body, but truth is found beyond the mind through direct experience.

Realize right now that what you are is already present, like space that underlies everything.

Accept and realize that you are space, the foundation and source of everything.

Everything - bodies, minds, the universe - exists within you, the space that you are.

Dreams are clear evidence that you are everything, as the same applies to our so-called awakened reality.

You have been programmed to identify with dream characters, forgetting your true nature as God.

Names and personal stories are just labels and illusions created by the mind.

Drop beliefs and realize the truth that you are not your thoughts or the body.

Words and concepts are just pointers to the truth - go directly to the experiences they point to.

Accept the truth of Oneness and non-separation to dissolve the illusion and align with reality.

Accepting you are not the body and mind accelerates awakening and transcends the illusion of separateness.

The root of suffering is identifying with the body, mind, and personal story - let go of these illusions.

Awakening involves shifting from identifying with the character to recognizing the awareness behind it.

As you release illusions, you step into a space of pure potential for creation and manifestation.

Awakening brings deep peace, love, and joy that is always available when you drop the veil of separation.

The path to awakening is unique but involves questioning, discontent, and surrendering to the truth.

Changing your inner reality to love and peace will change the outer reality you experience.

The Great Awakening is coming soon, uniting us in recognizing our true interconnected nature.

Transcripts

I believe at some point the world will awaken to their true nature, bringing everyone to the realization that we are all one.

Everyone will come to understand that separation is an illusion and not real.

Eventually, the world will be at peace and full of love.

One of the most beautiful things about this spiritual journey is the realizations that bring so much love.

The realization of Oneness is amazing.

Coming to the realization that you are everything and everything is you is a very warm and peaceful welcome home.

However, many people have the question: How am I everything?

How are we all one? It's a common question I see in the comments.

After this video, you will not only have a clear understanding but perhaps even a glimpse into this experience of Oneness.

First, you must accept that you have been fooled.

It's easy to fool someone, but it's much harder for people to accept that they have been fooled.

Your whole life, you have been living in the illusion of separation.

You believe you are an individual with a personality, a belief system, and opinions.

You believe you have a life, and the identification with the character creates the illusion of separation.

You may believe your friend is separate from you, using distance as your proof of separation.

These bodies are separate, but the truth is, you are not the body nor are you the mind.

Nobody is the body, and nobody is the mind.

The only thing that doubts this truth is the mind because it has been believing in the belief that you are the body for so long.

When you go against that belief, the mind tries to defend it.

However, this truth isn't found through the mind.

You won't come to the realization of Oneness or the realization that you are not the body through a concept.

It will be from a direct experience, and you can experience this right now.

What you are right now is already present.

---I WANT YOU---

Once you realize you are not the body and mind, the next question is, "What am I?"

I like to compare our nature to space.

Look around. You can't see space; you can't grab it; you can't think about it;

you can't imagine it. But we know it's there. Though it's not an object, it's not possible to be aware of space without it.

So, just let go of everything you think you know and accept that you are space not an acceptance from the mind

but truly take this to be what you are in this very moment through your direct experience.

If you have realized that you are space, that means everyone is this space as one.

You are literally everything;

you are the foundation of everything;

you are the source. Nothing can exist without this space, without you.

Realize how everything exists within you the body, the mind, all other bodies, and minds.

Your city, your country, the universe everything exists within you.

These are facts about our nature, and you don't need to think about this to know it;

you don't have to believe it.

You can clearly observe and know it to be true.

Dreams should be clear evidence and enough for you to realize that you are literally everything.

The same rules apply to this so-called awakened reality.

Nothing changes; you are still dreaming. We are all God as one. God is just having multiple dreams.

You have been programmed to identify with these dream characters, completely forgetting about what you truly are.

During dreams, the most bizarre things can be happening, and in the moments you are

convinced it's all real, you believe you are the body and mind within that dream.

But when you wake up, you realize it was just a dream.

The realization that it's all a dream happens in this awakened reality as well.

You realize that you were never this character, and this character never truly existed.

Jesus wasn't Jesus; Jesus is a label given to a vessel that God was experiencing.

Jesus is just a character.

Whatever your name is, it's just a label;

it's just a story of the mind.

You're God acting, but you just became attached to your role and character.

These characters don't actually exist.

Who you think you are is just a creation of the mind another illusion, not real.

Yes, there are bodies here, but there's no body in these bodies.

You can only find who you believe yourself to be through the mind, meaning it's not real.

You can see this and realize this to be true for yourself.

Drop your beliefs and realize the truth.

The truth isn't found through concepts;

there is no truth in what I say.

There is no truth in language or books.

Words and concepts are all just pointers to the truth.

No need to believe what spiritual teachers say;

go to what they are pointing to.

For example, if I say the present moment is the only moment we truly ever have, don't just say,

"Okay, I now have that knowledge and mental understanding."

Prove to yourself that this is the only moment you can't thank the present moment nor create it nor imagine it.

You can only be it; you can only experience it.

Go to the experiences that these words are pointing to.

That's the only way.

With the concept of Oneness, I would say, "Believe that separation doesn't exist, no matter what.

Just accept it because you can't experience Oneness if you're still believing in the illusion of separation.

That belief is keeping that illusion alive."

This also applies to believing that you are the body and mind and this character.

If you keep second-guessing and having doubts, all you are doing is keeping these illusions alive,

and it's not like you're getting rid of something because these illusions never actually existed.

When you begin having these amazing realizations, you'll just see that it's always been this way,

and you'll see how the dream was just a filter over the truth.

Acceptance of the truth will take you so far.

Things will move much faster for you if you accept that you are not the body and mind, regardless of what you may be experiencing.

The illusion of separateness is a powerful one.

It is the root of all suffering and the cause of our feeling lost and alone.

We have been conditioned to identify with our bodies, our minds, and our personal stories.

We cling to these identities, defending and protecting them as if they were real.

But they are just thoughts, beliefs, and concepts that we have accepted as true.

you truly understand and embody the realization that you are not your thoughts, you free yourselves from the limitations of the mind.

you step out of the illusion and into the vastness of our true nature.

It is a shift from identifying with the character to recognizing ourselves as the witness, the awareness behind the thoughts.

This is the path of awakening, of remembering who you truly are beyond the masks and identities you have adopted.

As you release your attachment to these illusions, you open ourselves

to the infinite possibilities that exist beyond the confines of the mind.

you step into a space of pure potential, where creation and manifestation arise from a place of unity and oneness.

It is a place of deep peace, love, and joy that is always available to us when you drop the veil of separation.

The path to awakening is unique for each individual, but there are common threads that unite the journey.

It often involves a period of questioning, a sense of discontent, or a feeling of being lost.

This is the ego's resistance to the truth, a last-ditch effort to maintain its sense of control and separateness.

But with perseverance and surrender, the veil lifts, and you see the beauty and simplicity of what has always been here.

The truth is always simpler than the mind can comprehend.

Eventually, the truth will begin rising within your experience.

You'll start realizing how these things exist within you, and you are not them.

If you accept that we are all one, Oneness will begin rising in your experience,

and you'll clearly be able to look past appearances and egos.

It's very peaceful, and from peace, joy, and love will rise.

If we want the world to change, just focus on changing yourself.

Everything is a reflection of you, literally because you are everything.

If you change your reality within to love and peace, that will be the reality you experience.

I am truly excited to see the role-out of this Great Awakening soon.

We will all be together.
