On life’s journey we often get lost between dreams and reality there is something more concrete than these dreams something that provides the basis for them to happen we focus on existence because many people face a serious challenge a kind of forgetting of who they really are so today we’re going to embark on a journey of self-discovery where we’ll discover something that in our Human Experience haunts many of us a disease that we could call Amnesia of being it’s a generalized forgetfulness that hides the simple Act of being this forgetfulness a subtle Affliction hides the awareness of our Essence and in its shadow individuals find themselves entangled in incessant searching it’s something that leads us to get busy with many things getting lost in daily activities even when we’re standing still perhaps just hanging around around the corner we can still be half asleep acting more on Instinct than conscious thought or we can get stuck in thought patterns that don’t serve us even the act of thinking something we consider part of who we are is actually a way of acting because sometimes our thoughts happen to us rather than being conscious choices we make although thoughts may seem like voluntary choices in many cases they arise as events and not as conscious Creations it’s rarely the individual who harmonizes thoughts instead thought becomes a current that flows through the majority shaping The Narrative of their inner Worlds the rhythm of existence often drowns in semiconscious States a level below conscious thought or becomes entangled in Dysfunctional thought patterns it is only when we bring more awareness into our lives that we can escape ESC ape the Trap of just doing things and awaken to the wisdom that lies at the heart of our existence it’s by embracing this Essence that we open the door to a reality much richer than the fleeting scenarios of our dreams thoughts arise without you necessarily choosing them in a way it’s as if you’re not actively thinking but rather thoughts are happening inside you these thoughts are often shaped by the involuntary flow of conditioned patterns from the past creating a mental construct known as the ego for many people the ego becomes their identity the way they see themselves and the world their deepest Consciousness is like a sleeping person dreaming about the details of their life sometimes you may wake up for a while but then you’re back to the ongoing drama of daily life imagine this fantasy entity as a character a person ality shaped by unconscious thoughts and actions as you reflect on your life especially during moments of heightened awareness you may notice unconscious participation in various situations some not so bad others terrifying like a bad dream in various philosophical and spiritual Traditions there is a recurring metaphor that compares non waking existence to a dream whether in Western philosophy or Eastern spirituality the idea persists Life as a dream this concept has been explored throughout history including in many Reflections by philosophers who pondered the nature of reality at this very moment it’s possible that the awakened part of you is emerging perhaps you are becoming a blend a blend of your dream version and the Consciousness that creates the dream the realization of your true self may be taking root connecting the dreamer with the dream in a new way you may have heard about lucid dreaming where you are asleep and aware of your dream sometimes in the middle of a dream you realize that it’s just that a dream it’s interesting because you may think I can do anything in this dream but this awareness usually doesn’t last long because waking and dreaming don’t go well together now let’s apply this idea to life imagine this scenario a room someone talking and you sitting there with your unique story shaped by your experiences could this be a dream could you be in the middle of a dream imagining a person telling you that you could be dreaming it’s a curious thought one worth considering even if this is a dream there is something more real than the dream itself Consciousness the Consciousness in which the dream unfolds so whether you’re dreaming or not there’s a genuine Essence within it illuminated By the Light Of Consciousness think of this very moment you watching this video as a dream in many ways it’s like that as events come and go after it’s over you may wonder if it really happened but what if within this dream you become aware of something Beyond a sense of being or awareness that transcends the dream this realization is profound although words may not fully capture it mistakes can easily occur when we put our thoughts into words language provides a means of expressing ideas but it introduces a layer of abstraction in the process of verbalizing an experience there is the potential for Distortion or misinterpretation this is where errors can subtly creep in in the translation of pure experience for example when I say you are conscious I think I’m a little wrong because in reality you are Consciousness itself the core of your being is consciousness I don’t think it’s right to suggest that there are two entities you and Consciousness now let’s consider the analogy of a dream in that dream if you suddenly understand something Beyond The Dream It’s not a question of becoming aware of something new within the dream it’s not about recognizing a thought sensation or emotion that arises in the dream instead it’s about becoming aware of Consciousness itself something that doesn’t have a tangible form the truth is that we can’t point to Consciousness and say there it is it’s not like a physical object we can hold on to it’s not a fleeing thought or emotion it’s more subtle than that so Consciousness or awareness cannot become an object of Consciousness it is the unchanging backdrop against which all experiences even the notion of being conscious unfold this Consciousness is not something we can lose or find it’s not an object that comes and goes it is the constant thread woven into the unfolding of our existence so even as you navigate the nature of Life realizing that you are consciousness itself is a profound change it’s a recognition that goes beyond the transitory elements of the dream and brings a sense of stability and Clarity it may seem very simple to say all this but this change in perspective opens doors to a broader and more interconnected understanding of our being in eastern philosophies for example this understanding that we are Consciousness is encapsulated as The Core Essence of being understanding Consciousness goes beyond recognizing fleeting thoughts or emotions this aligns perfectly with mindfulness practices where the ability to observe thoughts without becoming entangled in them is cultivated furthermore Consciousness plays a fundamental role in the nature of reality The Observer effects suggests that the act of observation influences the behavior of particles although this doesn’t correlate directly with personal Consciousness it raises intriguing questions about the interconnectedness of Consciousness and the external world when we explore a little more about Consciousness we inevitably come across the relationship between the conscious self and the reality that shapes our existence every moment is a deep dive into this ocean of experiences where Consciousness guides us through the complexities of reality reality as we know it is a set of perceptions intertwined with Consciousness our senses filtered through the unique lens of our individuality shape what we call reality but the real magic happens when we recognize that reality is malleable a blank canvas ready to be painted by our Consciousness it’s easy to fall into the Trap of believing that reality is fixed and immutable but as we explore consciousness we realize that we are The Architects of our own reality as I always reinforce here every thought emotion and action are brush Strokes that shape the landscape around us in this process we discover that true transformation begins within us and is reflected in the reality we share that’s why I repeat in many videos here on the channel the search will always be for our transformation because true change begins within us us understanding this inter connection does not mean distancing ourselves from tangible reality on the contrary it’s an invitation to dive deeper into our present experience for when we recognize that Consciousness and reality are intertwined we are empowered to live more fully aware of the responsibility we have in creating the world around us The Duality between subject and object fades when we understand that Consciousness is not just a spectator but an active participant in life’s journey every challenge becomes an opportunity for growth every Joy a celebration of the intersection between our Consciousness and reality everything we perceive every thought sensation and emotion is something that arises in Consciousness but here’s the crucial point if we try to turn Consciousness itself into an object we lose the essence of what it really is consciousness is not something we can fully understand because it is the very structure of our being but I can tell you that if you’re looking to find yourself beyond the Persona wanting to discover the authentic you beyond the condition past it’s vital to recognize that waiting for a specific experience can be deceptive waiting for a great moment of Revelation akin to spiritual fireworks Works can divert you from your ideal path if you are looking for yourself in the realm of experience or in the manifested world you won’t find it there the very essence searching for itself is you imagine using a flashlight to find the flashlight itself it’s a paradoxical search you are the seeker and you are what you seek the flashlight is both the seeker and the sought much like your Consciousness in this explor ation the real you is not an object that can be identified it is the subjective Consciousness the silent Observer your essence is not a passing experience it is the constant presence amidst the constantly changing scenery of your life so don’t get lost in the search for a dramatic Revelation instead recognize that the very Act of seeking is a transformation within your own consciousness understanding arises when we understand that the seeker and the sought are interconnected an Inseparable Unity it’s not about waiting for an extraordinary moment it’s about recognizing the extraordinary embodied in the ordinary moments of our existance I believe that this journey is an inner and personal Quest an exploration that transcends the boundaries of words and enters the Silence of being finding ourselves beyond the condition layers of the past is not a task of frantic searching but rather a gentle Awakening to the truth that has always existed within us it’s understanding that in the vastness of Consciousness we are more than the Shadows projected by past events or the illusions of the mind but remember that the search is not a linear process but an infinite cycle of self- transformation we are both the light that illuminates the path and the path that unveils itself it’s like navigating uncharted waters where each wave of Consciousness reveals new facets of our being with this perspective every moment becomes a gift to witness one’s own existence and invitation to recognize the Magic interwoven in seemingly ordinary experiences as we come to the end of this video I invite you to embrace this inner Journey with gratitude accepting dualities as integral parts of our being so I’d like you to take a message with you remember that your Consciousness in its Essence is self-illuminated so may each step on this path be guided by the Light Of Consciousness revealing the innate beauty that resides in your uniqueness for True Discovery is the rediscovery of on self and the inner journey is an eternal source of inspiration and renewal May this understanding resonate in every fiber of your being Awakening the fullness of who you are beyond all searching and all Enigma remember you are both The Observer and The bserved
