 Hey, everyone Welcome We are still on site in Costa Rica at Bentinio, Massaro's shift into permanent alignment event Having a blast talking to so many of the incredible Retreat attendees We are now bringing Nadim Melham on to the show I'm happy to be here I'm happy to have met you Nadim came from France exactly where in France In Passi, it's close to the Mont Blanc. Okay to Mont Blanc be quiet beautiful who came all the way from France and We've been vibing a lot especially on relaxing back Into our awareness and relaxing back into the playfulness and the perfection that we are We've been vibing on it a lot take like together and we've had even some brilliant Awakening experiences together in doing so Whereas a lot of the time we have this calling to go and socialize To take the time to go inward can evolve Consciousness awaken consciousness at an even more profound level just by Taking a step back into silence and relaxing into that awareness into the I am the creator abiding Exactly. Yeah, it's very important space to also come together and abide as one together So it's yeah Yeah, exactly when you add another Two three four five plus abiding Powerful container formed. Yeah. Yes. Yeah, it's a powerful permission slip to to stay present Yeah, the refresh rate exactly the refresh rate. It's a good way to put it So it's almost like we'll talk about this actually. Let's go ahead and outline out We called this episode enlightenment because we're gonna walk through sort of the most perennial understanding of these fundamental steps and so Ultimately, it's already perfect. It's already perfection. And yet it's also perfecting in the sense of Recognizing its true nature So when you have somebody that is egoic and they believe that they are a separate finite biological entity That they're not aware of their awareness. They're not aware of that I am they're not aware of that being impersonal and eternal and they're not aware of themselves as God or as source or as Infinity as the creator That is then creating these realities these dreamed realities to experience and So there these are sort of the layers that we're gonna go through and that's what would mean as enlightenment Versus as the finite contract the ego the ego is trying to get peace and happiness From the world is trying to extract it by Relationship substances Experiences whereas the enlightenment is bringing peace and happiness to the world Yes by itself recognition So how do you feel about that general system in terms of going from sort of the person consciousness where Even the subtlety of recognizing consciousness is not even there. It's basically just focused on objects and Trying to extract happiness and peace from the world and then basically the spiritual awakening happens, which is when the consciousness becomes more Expanded it relaxes the contracted energy into what is many times called a oneness It begins feeling more of the cosmic consciousness style And then it begins to be more subtle because it abides as awareness Right, so it recognizes awareness being fundamental and that this just being one expression that awareness experiences and Then recognizing that oneself as the creator even beyond that and yes, how do you feel about that? The question is like what is powerful entry point In my experience, it's it's very Crucial to interrupt What do you think you are so to interrupt the stream of thoughts? Interrupts the identifications that we don't know we have associated with and But in a massage share the very far powerful to the two to five seconds Interrupting But how it started in my experience was not really with this pointer because I didn't know this Articulation and It started kind of with the with reading books and one of these books was the power of now. I love it I could totally thank you. Yeah, and it's mainly about Stopping to think of realizing that you can be aware of the thinking and seeing that it's not you and so I have a twin brother and I'm very grateful. I'm a very privileged that we could have this reflection no like Being able to investigate together was often when being start to Be inspired or start to realize there is something deeper to this then What they think? Well, then what they know And it's kind of like a being alone like a lonely process of like checking and trying and not being sure and It being great it contrast with the surrounding the friends with family with the people that they have Yeah, the circle where we grow up in and I had this privilege to have that with my brother and At one point when you are reading in these books for quite some time few months, I would say We went to to visit our family in Jordan and when we were there We made this kind of permission slip this tool that every time I would recognize it and thinking but just like the thoughts that we think every day again, and there's a high percentage of the thoughts that is just Yeah coming from the previous days and we would make this little permission slip that every time I recognize I'm thinking so I can become aware that thinking is happening like in this moment You can become aware that There is a stream of thoughts appearing Inside the space or inside of your capacity to know it capacity to observe it and every time that I would become aware of that I do this and It would trigger my brother To also be reminded like interesting I was thinking too because most of the time We were just visiting our family sitting in circles, you know, and they were all talking Arabic and Obviously could not speak Arabic So there was not much engagement for us So either we were sitting or we are driving to the next group of family Because we didn't saw them for long enough time and they all wanted to see us So it was like there was nothing for our mind to engage with Nothing to do for us than to sit there and hear them speaking Arabic So we started to implement this and every time I would is that And then together. Okay. Oh cool. It's also kind of the representation of you remember them there and then together Yeah, that's great. So and then then it would be provoked or invoked to interrupt the stream of thoughts to just give away for a few moments few seconds and To abide in this space as long as possible until you again forget or Identify yourself with the tinker of the thought and then for example, my brother would recognize this And then I would be provoked and it started to appear to happen so rapidly like a synergy Yeah, like really like a spiral upwards That after two or three weeks we were able to sit and have a few thoughts in a few hours Perfect because you are really extreme in it. Yeah, I was nothing else And this opened the first real like yeah window into like Like my identity dissolving but not really knowing that this was what was happening. We're just knowing like there is Recognizing there is so much freedom here like yeah Yeah This was very powerful Opening of the window to more of myself Yes, I love that. That's a great way to kick it off. So how old were you? I was 15 16. Okay. So 15 16 and you have a twin brother. Yes, looks like you That's cool. Okay. Cool. That's really interesting seeing I now visualizing you guys that young doing to do And that that's really a fascinating way to sort of Create a trigger around the relaxation from the cloud Which this would be a good time to go through the analogy as well. So we're talking about stream entry, which is sort of the first Fundamental way to get yourself from a more egoic level of physicalism to a more subtle level of consciousness or awareness and Doing so What you got to do is you have to begin recognizing that the thoughts and sensations and perceptions that appear are like Transient clouds that arise and then disappear just like the waves on the ocean arise and disappear And so what is the space of the container in which they appear and disappear that is awareness Which is this which is the sky where the clouds appear and disappear or which is the ocean where the waves Appear and disappear and so you begin abiding as being said So when you feel the ability to Relax back you catch yourself Entering into that timeless Presence rather than being contracted by the thought of the object that then you can make a signal for yourself and Friends to also abide and then over time you get so good at abiding That you can go for hours on end without having even a thought or rise Yeah, or several thoughts arise, but over a couple of hours, which is very fascinating So and it doesn't like the touch can come up, but it doesn't take you any more Yeah, if you for that moment like deliberately enough What is the word Yeah commit to it then The pristinness of the clear open sky like you said becomes so vivid that when a story appears You see it directly and you see it just emanate. Otherwise, it looks like it's you really believing it Yes, I'm really thinking that and that's very initial to start to see the space between You and the thinker perfect of the dots and the first distinction or discrimination Exactly so there's a detachment that happens from the story over time and you become less sold into the Thought stream that would then take you on the monkey mind adventure And so you become less attached to it you become more of a witness or an observer to it just happening and Then arising and then because you don't get attached to it. It disappears rather than going on the monkey mind We got to a point where Throughout the retreat obviously over the last couple of years of practicing what we've been Talking about so far. We're able to in a sense instead of going like this to trigger each other We just basically look at each other and then just We've been doing this the whole retreat where We would just start the other looking at each other and breathing and connecting to that very impersonal eternal awareness and the creative ship and Then we would take a couple of those breaths and just both abide as that and then we would just giggle because we know our nature Yeah, it's like this giggle in the heart from from the creator recognizing itself and Recognizing that it's recognized seemingly from two points exactly recognized that we are looking from the same place Yes, and this was with my twin brother Easier to see in the beginning that we were looking from the same place. Yeah, somehow at one point This was the recognition. Yeah the creator directly experiencing its truth in its illusory creation where the Agents seem to be so attracted to the illusion to Maya so that when they take a moment to recognize their true permanent source Infinitude and a bite in that it's so funny Yeah, it's a great because Like I use the words of looking from the same place, but actually it's more like looking from the same non-place Because otherwise he would be looking from somewhere inside there and I would be looking from somewhere inside here But because it's the creator recognizing itself like you used the question that you could provoke this recognition rate of like do you know that we come from the same source Because this is something you can intuitively tune into like it transcends the intellectual do you know that like Do you heard that you can use it that way too? But you can also check like do you sense that there is only one source That we are that one source That everything in its variety is an expression of that one source expressing in infinite ways something so beautiful for me is like to see like infinity that what is you Has to express itself in all the infinite ways exactly to be like the true representation of infinity. That's exactly This is one song out of an endless possibilities of musical compositions Or another way to say this is that this is one way to paint blank canvas Out of the infinite possible ways to paint a blank canvas Or this is one way to put images together into a movie out of the infinite ways to put images together into movies And so you'll never come to the end. That's where we've been. That's where we're going. It's eternal And that this is about one representation one creation one playful Experience for us to yeah to undergo. I like that way of phrasing it as well I think it more easily gives people glimpses into Their nature even if they're at a more Egoic or just a stream entry level because a lot of people can relate to The another way to say it is that how many different ways can you vibrate your vocal cords to make languages? Yes, how many different ways can you put food arranged food into recipes? and that's very interesting because it's a very important example of seeing that The potential for every possible tone to come out is already there But the unique song is the way in which the tones are organized the way they come together the way that they Have silence in between perfect and and the way they dance together how they interval and all these kind of things And that's then the unique Expression of consciousness the uniqueness that that unique aspect of infinity that has to be there or the whole In the expressive sense Is not complete Yes, perfect. So then this is like in my experience the more that I surrender to the natural Stream or the natural way of being the more that this out we can call it authenticity Feels like it falls in its place. That's right. I just a physical experience of like clicks like You you feel when when it's like a yes. Yes Exactly. So it's really cool. It's kind of like Like like playing music you play music and you hear when it says yes So you always have a reference point. Does it sound good? Yes Mm-hmm Does it mean everyone does the same music but you can feel even when it's not your genre that it sounds good Yeah, that's really cool. Yeah another way to potentially play on that a little more is to say things like That people that are abiding in more in lane states. They play more in tune They vibe more in tune and then those that are in a more egoic state They create dissonance disharmony that there's a In the symphony there's playing out of tune Yes, and so based on the level of purification that ones went under So we gave the example of the thought stream and then entering into the thought stream by Recognizing that the clouds of thoughts sensations and perceptions appear inside of the sky of awareness so relax into the sky of awareness Especially with your eyes closed taking inhalations And then become more subtle around recognizing when The thought cloud arises and then detach yourself From it so that it doesn't take your monkey mind for a wander But that it just disappears and then you recognize even more subtly The fact that you're the awareness in which the cloud arose and disappeared So that's stream entry. That's the way to conquer that level Go ahead you go You can really relax your your brain and your eyes Like Like we often we look like this and then the moment we relax the eyeballs like physically and the the brain Kind of as if it goes to a seat instead of it's standing like it starts to sit Let that relax When you notice that A thought form or any kind of sensation Arises don't feel like it should not be there just Notice it without engaging with it without jumping on that train of thought and like as non judgmental or caring in a sense As you're canning this moment But every time you notice it you just gently bring your awareness or your attention back to being Because it's not really you that jumps on the train of thought It's more your attention that is now engaged Married with the thought Perfect So then you notice, okay, it's one of my most profound powers is the attention. Yes, so I shifted to being To the sense that Or the knowing that this is kind of the only thing you are 100 percent sure of in this moment And is that somehow you have to be First yes in order to recognize that's right the thought or the sensation So you can use whatever appears as an indication That you are And this is very powerful because then it doesn't matter what appears you can feel like You're all wounded up when your mind is going crazy. Still if you ask yourself, what does it indicate directly? That somehow there has to be the capacity here to know that this is a fear. Yeah Automatically there is more space because you mean out Yeah, what's most fundamental is the being is the awareness is the in a sense the formless container in which All of the thoughts and emotions sensations perceptions beliefs Objects appear and disappear Make that subtle distinction and abide more as that formless sky of beingness and awareness That then is the container for the clouds That's so perfect. Yeah, keep on keep on and does become easier To be able to see That there is a space between you and what appears So it's just a matter of like one of the previous like it's the only video I saw to this moment from Atlas The one about earnestness is very powerful entry point to that Because it's really about where you perceive the most benefit. Are you really desiring deeper freedom? Because if you do automatically you care more about abiding in being Then engaging or being married with the appearances and being lost in it Sleeping in it. Perfect So kind of all the all the catalytic experiences that we have are going to retreats and it's kind of like a big portion of being here is about the inspiration first of the being and How they are what they are constituted as and what they radiate and and represent Inspires you to desire that more than the confused way that you are living. Perfect. And this in itself allows you to Have the natural shift in choice to abide Instead of sleeping at all you know Yeah, humility is key to say I know I know not where I know I do not know And so if you can humbly say that I am suffering I am Unsure I'm confused about these thoughts that take me on these wild rides and then I end up Hurting myself or hurting my family or my friends by getting angry or yelling or have catalyzing some sort of disharmony The first step is to recognize that that is the case and then to humbly say I know I know not And then to tune in To what we're talking about here, which is the perennial wisdom of how To take that first step into the stream entry And earnestness is key As Nadim said that Do you want to Enter into your thought stream and become more Liberated more illuminated more enlightened more radiating love like the sun unconditionally Or do you want to stay steeped in the confusion? And so use your choice To the earnest I think this is a powerful entry point in Maybe giving some Or sharing some pointers or kind of like an understanding and mapping of how beliefs work because it's beliefs, yeah It's like A lot of in what we share in this retreat or what we think you shared also Is based on the work of the love one a book of the love one contact and They share That it's kind of like three steps or faces and the first one is to know yourself with to know your stuff to know your Conditioning to know your patrons your behavior to be aware of them to be able to acknowledge them And the second step is to accept them to see that they are the already acceptedness And the third step is to become the creator To really experientially be the creator not just in essence, but The words that Atlas used to perfect The perfected is to become the creator and this first step of knowing yourself in a way. It's kind of tricky like Because the whole thing is that the ego effect Does everything in its power to stay alive? So it has a lot of sneaky ways to keep Asking is kind of like it's associating for your attention. This is like the root of it and to be able to To acknowledge when a belief comes up. Let's say you're triggered. I can negative belief comes up and you're triggered It's not pleasant All right, so there is something that automatically wants to avoid that or run away from that or blame or whatever What we normally do and A very simple entry point in that is like recognizing how much it hurts Like how much it hurts when you are trying to avoid or Not see that the belief is there And in the moment that you acknowledge it There is so much more space Like you don't have to do anything with it. Just like the acknowledging. Okay. This thing is Appearing it is there. It is not defining me, but it is appearing And one of the yeah one of the very powerful things that they shared in this retreat was about It's kind of like seeing that all this conditioning Is not yours. It's not your fault. You were meant to be conditioned You are meant to Identify yourself with the understanding of this collective and you grow up you learn the ways of this civilization in subtle telepathic ways in verbal ways In many ways in all kind of social settings So you are meant to behave like that It's your choice in a sense from a deeper space to to keep it to this point You don't have a choice up to you recognize that you have the choice Up to you can have some space some manner of space between you and the conditioning or the conditioned self and This is powerful. This was powerful in my experience because then you can Let go of your sense of self-worth more and more to be attached to Acknowledging that you are full of shit Acknowledging that there is a conditioned sleepy way active within your being other that potential is still there For you to choose out of your free will to merge your action with that to believe that it's your power like Like a kind of a synopsis of what are three more fundamental powers is the power of attention the power of belief To believe something to agree upon something and the power to identify To merge your sense of I your sense of inner most sense of being With what appears in and as being you could say with what appears inside of the view If you're to come in something or continue Yeah Like they so much joy for for us to share about this because we know how it really frees you up. That's right. Yes and You no longer become a slave in a cage to the monkey mind taking you every single day for countless rides and rather you become liberated and free On a moment to moment basis absorbed in your true nature which then Enables such an ananda that existence consciousness bliss and you From your heart radiate that like the sun and it just becomes your true everyday experience which then Butterfly effects onto your family friends people online The community the world etc. Yeah It's that's why we even share it correct because it's that liberating and freeing and important for also igniting the global awakening. Yeah Yeah something Or some way that is very powerful for you in this moment to tune into Is to to look Really look in this moment like how much it is actually hurting you How much you actually feel Mixed confused like you're all over the place and you you Yeah, just from a simple place like how much it's actually hurting you just to stay there for a little moment and To ask yourself. What do you truly want? like what is the The intention of the reason why you are even listening to us Because if you are here and you state listening There is a deeper desire for being here perfect and If that If that is clear for you in this moment or to whatever degree you you feel clear about that and it is to To be more free or to To recognize The freedom that you already are perfect Then one of the really powerful Questions that we got this week was what will it take for you? How big does the catalyst has to be? before you would apply let's say Just to make it a little bit more accessible 70% of your attention to your freedom Like really look for yourself in this moment What is the moment? What should happen before you allow yourself before you direct 70% of your attention To being committed to yourself only your true self Freedom this can be relaxing the thoughts being more honest, whatever it is that you have access to What's going to take will you respond to the feather that is doing a little hey catalyst Pay more attention to that which sees Rather than that which is seen and If you do that You If you commit yourself with more than 70% intent to be like I'm gonna become that which sees instead of that which is seen Then you will not need The sludge hammer Which in this moment is the feather The imagination is the feather. It's if you really imagine this for a moment Then it means that there is enough desire within you or that you choose for that to be the case to use and Use this catalyst catalytic moment to the best of your ability To the best of your ability before it has to become the sludge hammer And the reason why we ask you this question or why I ask you this question Is because if you can check and you see okay If this would happen for example, uh, all my current friends would Hate me disguise me my family would not want to communicate with me anymore I would lose my apartment and I would just have to become fully present to tap into my full power wandering around this world and Really taking it all the way like fully playing choosing to go out in This is a little bit more than 70% but just to use the example Then check for yourself. You can also choose 100% Eric Take whatever feels the most awful for you And then ask yourself if that would be the consequence. So either that happens Or you choose to be true to yourself 70% or 100% from this moment on And and let's even take another step Fundamentally to even the question What do you desire? because When you desire That's what you're putting at your north star location. Yes and so If you first of all Are not aware of what you desire That means that you're so jumbled up and confused That you don't even have something in your north star location So become become aware of that first And then second is that okay? I am aware that I'm jumbled up that I don't necessarily have something in that north star location. So now it's take time Take time Take 30 minutes take an hour take a whole day even to just go out into nature and reflect What do I want to put in that north star location? Because the moment when you put Liberation or freedom or enlightenment or my true nature. I want to know myself That's why the Delphic maxim know thyself was written on the top of the temple of apollo at delphi 2,500 years ago because it was the north star And that way when you put something there every day What you'll do Is you'll wake up and you'll remember That there's something in that north star position And your days Will become more and more less confusing And more and more geared toward a desire Which is that freedom or that liberation or that true nature? That metaphysical insight of knowing yourself Of knowing our true nature So that's a critical component to it and then put earnestness towards that. So if you put 1% earnestness towards it, you're going to be a snail In france, they know about snails Yeah, I'm not really from france I from Belgium say they also speak right Ah And if you do 2% you'll tiny faster snail not much faster You know, you really have to work your way up to putting in 25 50 percent 75 earnestness towards that north star desire for you to actually be able to Liberate yourself become free recognize your true nature these types of things because it and here's what it would look like If you actually began putting let's say 50 percent of does towards the desire of freedom 50 percent's a lot, but this is what it would look like That would mean that at least half of your day So you're going to spend about 16 hours awake That means you're going to spend eight hours of the day on freedom That means you might read the power of now by Eckhart Tolle That means you might just Relax for an hour and try and become more aware of awareness itself And as you do those repetitions, you'll become less attached to those thought clouds And so that means for those eight hours if you're 50 earnest That means you will spend eight hours per day On that north star desire of freedom and guess what? Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world The more earnestness that you put at a younger age when you have greater neuroplasticity The more you'll get compound interest in your 30s 40s 50s You'll become a Gnostic being you'll know the true nature You'll radiate out love and peace like the sun And you'll butterfly effect that out to everything you do in touch at a younger age Because you'll have put more earnestness into it. It's really great and uh Let's say that your north star is truly to recognize yourself as the freedom that you are But you But the thought stream is telling you in this moment that you cannot Know that you are not capable to for 50 percent So eight hours a day dedicate yourself to us because you're too jumbled up or whatever Uh Then this Imagination that we shared I'll share another one afterwards. It's very powerful because if you imagine either a consequence or something amazing You will see that you can do it If the consequence is high high enough So you always have to imagine until it really clicks until you feel it like wow If this was the consequence, then I could do it And if you find this place in yourself where you see like I could do it if this was the consequence It means you can do it Because if you could do it, then it means you can do it now. Just you don't want it bad enough badly Another way of putting it that I heard that was very powerful for me was like if someone would give you five million A month for example, if you would stay eight or if you would dedicate or prioritize eight hours a day to your freedom Could you do it? Of course you could I could do it. You can do it. Everyone in this retreat can do it Doesn't mean everyone is doing it So this is just like ways of playing checkmating the The condition self using its own way of looking To counter itself Perfect, and I'm going to have a little pee Perfect and all that's great timing because I'll go ahead and I'll explain what was coming up for me Okay, so As Nadine was just saying that Bantino also has a pretty aggressive way of putting it as well, which is that If you are to have a forcible Experience where somebody takes a gun points it towards your head and says stop all descriptions for two to five seconds Stop describing your experience for two to five seconds What happens? you take a breath quiet down And you melt into the fact that you're aware and that's it That's why 2000 plus years ago you had The Yoga Sutras of Patan Jali, and that's why you had 2500 years ago You had the Buddha and the Four Noble Truths And what they say is they say Yogas Chitta Fritti Niroda Union it's simply The cessation of the fluctuations of mind It's that simple So if you get these forcible experiences That make it so that you have to stop for two to five seconds Repeatedly Force yourself and watch as what happens is that you get to relax Stop describing your experience Relax into the very fact of I am That beingness That awareness And reside there for as long as you can Now if you reside there for two to five seconds, that's fantastic That's great That's beautiful That's a whole level up from being confused without a north star It's a huge level up And that's going to very clearly as Richard has been sharing with us at the retreat as well Who's teaching alongside Bantino for about a day and a half Is that then everything that you learned will become very clearly evident in your behavior As all of the great mystic traditions say and as they teach is the pause The pause When you do this practice for two to five seconds, what's going to happen is the pause itself is going to increase You're going to abide longer and longer in the I am in the beingness in the awareness And as that pause lengthens from two seconds to five seconds to 10 seconds to 15 seconds What's going to happen is you will experience more and more subtle levels of enlightenment and then It's to understand that you are The nature of reality you are exactly what you seek You are the creator of awareness and of these worlds And you create them eternally endlessly to play In a process called lila the divine play of hiding and seeking of forgetting and remembering endlessly through all of these different design potentials And then so you'll abide as that and that'll be even more enlightened Because you'll recognize yourself as the creator You'll recognize the creator in every single person You'll recognize the creator in every single experience Serving your awakening Serving everyone's awakening You'll recognize the creator in our beautiful planet and our beautiful environment in the birds chirping In the drinks of water that you have in the bites of food that you eat And that's all that's meant by enlightenment. You radiate out the sunlight Of knowing your true nature I go Now you take over I love you too And every moment has this potential to recognize that you are Because it's the case in every moment And it's really easy to see it's like it's not something difficult or far away or It's the very fact that you have to be In order to hear this voice to hear the sounds The very fact that you have to be in order to watch this video So it's already the case The only thing that it requires From your end so to speak Is to recognize it to recognize the fundamental business or beingness The substratum of this moment Of this togetherness The one expressing itself seemingly Different sides of the screen like we are on this side of the screen and seemingly you are there on that side of the screen But still it's the same same one awareness Like atlas uses the worst shared awareness a lot in our communication. It's very powerful because Just to tune into that for a moment. Like it's a shared awareness Because we come from the same source The awareness is shared Exactly So there is in truth That is verifiable in this moment There is no distance between you Being on that side of the screen and we be on this side of the screen because that assumption that engagement With thoughts Saying I am here inside of this body The engagement with the sensation of I am this feeling this sensation this being this body Is observable You are formless and you are non-local That's what your consciousness your awareness is. That's what our true nature is We are that formlessness Experiencing first Before we are all the descriptors descriptions Of I am this body In Costa Rica And you are that body In your location in the world Because this needs Thoughts it needs thinking right so even this is why it's so powerful even to relax all thoughts for two to five seconds And we can do it again now In this few seconds Was there or is there separation? Can you find anywhere separation without having to think about it first? We're not having to create the thoughts. Ah, this is separate. This is there. This is here And this is the distinction of the space between it So if it takes thinking if it takes something that has to In order for you to say I am over here separate from you on that side of the screen Then it's not real. Then it's not fundamental. Then it's not what you are if it Appears and disappears. That's not what you are Because you are still there when it disappears So how could it be you? How could it ever be? Who we truly are We've never actually experienced a birth or a death We just tell some stupid story for children And then it creates a little egoic hitchhiker Then we have to work our whole lives On kicking the egoic hitchhiker out of the car Otherwise you get to the end of your life and you're there Being there in the death bed and thought about being fine at your whole life You were finite your whole And so everything you did was about being finite Never once did infinity Never once did infinity Or abiding as even awareness Come so the question is What in your star position desire? Do you want To know your true nature. Do you want to live with yourself from suffering? Do you want to become a more advanced Jedi? And if that is what you want Then acknowledging that negative beliefs and the nonsense within yourself is crucial Because there is other way Because you are meant to to engage to identify this conditioning But in your shirt in this retreat the way he Articulates is that your whole body and mind Is made out of the stuff of this planet It is made out of the ways of this planet the conditioned behavior of this planet the ways of thinking The DNA of the mixes of all the beings and your Your individual Body-mind spirit complex or the body-mind in this moment is that So to to To just recognize that for a moment gives you some some context to to be okay with Acknowledging that this is happening within you It is not you But it is happening within you and every moment that this negative belief whatever negative belief is triggered first it will Do a little bit of this, you know, it because it's uh, it's based on This hitchhiker like you guys because Maybe to give a little bit more background for me the word and Partially means to lighten the load Yep, and the other aspect is to be fulfilled with light. Yes, but when you lighten the load it's automatically instantaneously fulfilled with Light illumination illuminated. Yes, so when you this is why it's the first Phase or the first step the first thing to bring your attention to Is to know yourself to become aware of your patterns your behavior your way of thinking who you think you are all of this Yeah, and then acknowledge it That is acknowledgement And the second step is the acceptance Of what you are receiving but in a way What you are describing was already the second step because the moment you really acknowledge is there It is seen in the already acceptance Because you only stop running you're only running away from what you see Until you you see you are free from it You can see that it's already accepted It's okay There was a few moments in our communication this week that I shared with him some negative belief that I saw and The first reason why I can't share this negative belief is because I know at some degree that I am already free from that Because I started with other negative beliefs So then it builds the power the conviction that even this one I am not but somehow I still believe in a way that I am that So then by sharing that exposing that you already diminished The believability in it and to then have a reflection from the being that is you but that Seems to be having an authority in that moment against your Now lousy mind or Nonsensical mind is very powerful because it can be instant Like he reflects he speaks what you already know perfectly and this is the same what is happening here This is why you maybe feel like wow this this resonates like this is resonance What is resonance is about like I already know I am this and I will now just create out of my power The still amazing beings Reminding me of what I am And then it's also easier, you know like the more you can tune into listening to this moment like it is me speaking to me Directly to whatever degree you have intuitive access to that even if it's not your full experience all the time You can tune into that Because it's the reality It's more real to tune into than believing creating the thought that we are separate Because for that second option you have to do something create something Make it appear But for the most fundamental it is not This is why it is real. It is always real and remember That you can't pull the flower to make it grow faster So naturally the blossoming is happening naturally Yet you do have the will As you experience Disharmony as you experience suffering you do have the choice all the time as you experience Those negative emotions. It's an emotional guidance system telling you Do you want to pursue this top desire freedom because if you do take this most uplifting path Most people are closed off to this path They're only open to these paths And most people if they don't listen to the emotional guidance system they go in this direction You shared a little already on your channel about the emotional guidance system. Yeah, we have your excitement. We have the work. Yeah And just that there is some context Yeah Maybe there is a specific video that they can go to if they didn't saw it yet Just very very briefly emotions work To teach you about your true nature. They're trying to get you to align to your true nature Most simply put emotions arise as a teacher for you to align with your true nature more For you to know yourself more For you to not suffer in the future for you to make the decisions to not suffer in the future Treat it like a lesson that's coming to you that's teaching you suffering is the drill sergeant of the awakening Yeah, so it's a positive thing like this is something that You can actually practice to Start to perceive that When you feel triggered in a positive way, and this was very powerful for me To really see like okay every time that I do feel contraction And I do feel unpleasant emotion. There is an indicating that I have a belief that is out of alignment with the actual truth The structure of the creation of what I am of what is fundamentally true It's only true guidance you have Direct guidance Then I see okay. This means that I am 100 percent connected Because I am connected to my own guidance to My guidance system. It means that I am 100 percent unconditionally loved Because it keeps on knocking on the back door of my heart until I open Every time when I perceive something should be different and it's lacking here and oh And there is anger or frustration if I keep telling myself that story the anger will become more angry will amplify So it is so Unconditional you are so loving yourself That you will keep knocking until you open and in the same way You are guiding yourself Through excitement. Yes where to bring your focus instead of like you're perceiving something wrong like here This is the next red scrump in the trail for you to now act upon or bring your attention or your your whole Being is or your focus towards and Like this shift imitation of starting to follow what feels good What feels truly good the resonance the joy the excitement came from the formula of bashar I don't know if you are familiar with this. It's uh, it's your consciousness channel through the anchor And the formula very quickly is to act upon your highest excitement To the best of your abilities whatever is in the range of What is what you are able to act upon in that moment you choose the highest option like the hand Exactly. So choose the highest Not the other ones highest And you do that and take that as far as you can Until you cannot take it any far. So for example, you You have a direction something that excites you You act upon that until you cannot take it any farther and then from that point you have to take a new avenue Again, what is the highest excitement? Instead of interpretations or something went wrong. There is a wall here block. No, you just see It's not about the result. We're not growing somewhere. It's just a navigation tool Okay. Now, what is the highest path? And then very powerful The mind somehow always seems to forget it and it is with zero insistence Yeah And in the desire space as the carrot of maya in the desire space you're seeking You're seeking peace and happiness from the attainment of an object or an experience or a relationship And when you say I will be happy once I have that house is Misery so you do karma yoga where you Pursue that excitement in the north star position That is not about getting A carrot from maya, but instead it is about a transcendent noble aim that is in service to other people It's in service to the ignition of the global awakening It's in service because that's ultimately what's going to bring you more happiness It's ultimately what's going to bring you most peace is to know your true nature And then to become in service to other people And so having that up there and then pursuing that with the greatest amount of excitement and then Completely liberating yourself of any of the fruits from the attainment of said goals And you will bump into that many times that you think like I am just acting upon it because the excitement I don't care about the outcome. I'm so self. I'm so selfless I already know I'm a hundred percent selfless Yeah, bintinho made it really clear. He's like he's been doing the self-purification engine for the last couple of years and We have these 10,000 layers of deception Yeah, self-deceit. Yeah, self-deceit and so You know even for what I was reflecting on myself yesterday I finally got to one of those layers And that I'm going to keep getting excited about recognizing more of these layers or impurities in this service to other True purity that we must have to make sure there's no holes on the ship Of the igniting the global awakening, which was that this level of excitement from other people Asking me for the truth So as oh as in as in we can get excited Or even a little bit egotistical from the fact that people are asking us About the true nature of what's happening of who we are And so it's important to completely liberate yourself from that To purify that impurity So that you no longer gain pleasure from people Inquiring to you because you know Because there is no person here that knows This is only intelligent infinity interacting with itself There's no atlas unit here that knows It's just the truth coming through That's all it is And so that's a good way to liberate yourself from the impurity is to recognize that this is a shared dream That you don't exist That it's just the truth playing with itself Awakening itself after falling asleep in the dream And that that's eternally being explored But those are some a higher level non duality understandings But you even in a lower understanding Talking to myself from a couple of years ago Recognize that when you go to sleep at night and you dream That you dream You simulate the environment and you simulate the observer in the environment you simulate both And after you wake up from your dream Maybe you were Hanging out at the base of the Eiffel Tower in your dream Ask yourself Did that experience happen? The one that I dreamed where I was at the base of the Eiffel Tower hanging out Very simply And the answer to that question Is no It did and it didn't Ultimately No But Simultaneity Yes, this is happening and it's not It is a symphonic expression And it's also a dream And so that's a way also to liberate yourself It's partly some of that neo-advita pointing Is to liberate yourself even from your person consciousness Liberate yourself even from The unit the form the identity that you carry What's what's what's Rob? This is very very powerful also the dynamic that happens It's kind of the same as how most of the retreat was based that we would go to a more abstract or metaphysical Zooming out and then to a more practical Point or a more tangible way of Tool or technique or permission slip and then merging the two like the relative and the metaphysical So yeah Really just to to play with that within ourselves Okay, we have some tools we have permission slips and I'm also speaking to myself Because I have a lot of Joy and excitement for seeing how permission slips work Like how the mechanism the structure the fabric of things work first for myself to see these things to To be able to shift them easier or faster how the mechanism of shifting Itself works the mechanism of choice For example that every time that I perceive more benefit in option a than option b I will automatically choose option a it's just automatic Until I perceive more benefit I benefit my perceived benefit shifts my choice shifts But all of this understanding is still a permission slip and Every permission slip is only to come to the recognition that you have free will Free choice and with this free will you can inquire upon your own nature more directly more Instantly and this is the the more subtle levels of Oh, you can say more self realization oriented than self actualization Eventually the two parts they are just assisting each other are one merging coming together It's kind of like you build up this capacity to rest as being more to also having a more understanding of the fabric of things and to apply yourself Also to be actively of service and to purify your service exactly so it can become more general two to five seconds relax relax Do it to the repetitions Put noble aims in the north star position recognize yourself as the creator that which endlessly explores these realities And let yourself be guided by that which sparks you Enjoy your excitement.
