Full transcript

1. 0:00What I'm going to explain right now, the
2. 0:02ego cannot survive.
3. 0:04Are you ready to hear this?
4. 0:08See this body as if it were a
5. 0:10stranger's.
6. 0:13The same way you look at someone else's
7. 0:15body. You say that's not my body.
8. 0:18It's someone else's.
9. 0:20Look at your body the exact same.
10. 0:23The ego will not survive that.
11. 0:29The same way you look at someone else.
12. 0:31You see a person. You see that person
13. 0:33doing things.
14. 0:35You know in that moment you're not doing
15. 0:37those things.
16. 0:39You know in that moment that that's not
17. 0:40your body.
18. 0:42You know in that moment that you're not
19. 0:44that character.
20. 0:48Apply that understanding to this body
21. 0:51right here.
22. 0:53The ego will not survive that.
23. 0:58See this body as if it were a
24. 1:00stranger's.
25. 1:03It's not yours.
26. 1:06The more you do that,
27. 1:10eventually,
28. 1:12you're going to drop this label.
29. 1:15You know what that label is?
30. 1:17Me.
31. 1:19When that label drops,
32. 1:22you see yourself as consciousness.
33. 1:26It's not going to happen right away.
34. 1:28It might happen right away for someone
35. 1:31whose mind is completely silent.
36. 1:33If someone's mind is completely silent,
37. 1:35it will happen.
38. 1:37But if your mind is not as silent, it
39. 1:39requires practice.
40. 1:42Anyone who says that you can instantly
41. 1:45drop your ego,
42. 1:47it's clickbait.
43. 1:49Okay, it's it's a false
44. 1:51promise.
45. 1:53People like giving false promises.
46. 1:57When you see your body as a stranger, it
47. 2:00might momentarily feel
48. 2:03like you're not the body.
49. 2:06But if you keep deepening
50. 2:09that understanding,
51. 2:12seeing this body as a stranger,
52. 2:17that sense of you not being the body
53. 2:21is going to get deeper.
54. 2:24You're going to feel like there's more
55. 2:25to go.
56. 2:28You're going to feel like
57. 2:30identity is being depleted the more you
58. 2:33deepen that understanding.
59. 2:36And the more you deepen that
60. 2:37understanding, layers start dropping.
61. 2:39Layers that you've never exposed before.
62. 2:43This is why it might not happen all at
63. 2:45once.
64. 2:48It takes practice.
65. 2:51The practice itself is surrender.
66. 2:54You're surrendering the identity.
67. 2:58The identity has been so accumulated.
68. 3:02It's been
69. 3:04gathered for so many
70. 3:07lifetimes,
71. 3:08so many plots, so many stories.
72. 3:14It's solidified. It's like It's the
73. 3:16concrete.
74. 3:20This is why many resist this truth
75. 3:22because
76. 3:24their identity is so
77. 3:26formed into some solid form
78. 3:31that it's hard to believe what I'm
79. 3:33saying.
80. 3:36It's hard to believe that your identity
81. 3:38is actually consciousness.
82. 3:41But the more you shed those layers,
83. 3:44the more you wipe away that dust on the
84. 3:46mirror,
85. 3:47the more you start to see your
86. 3:48reflection shine.
87. 3:53Keep seeing this body as if it were a
88. 3:55stranger's.
89. 3:56It's not yours.
90. 3:58Eventually, you're going to drop that
91. 4:00label called me.
92. 4:02And when you drop that label,
93. 4:04you'll see who it is that you actually
94. 4:06are.
95. 4:08You'll see that you're not the body.
96. 4:11You'll see that you're consciousness.
97. 4:15Because the more you shed away that
98. 4:16label called me,
99. 4:19you'll start to just see yourself as
100. 4:21being conscious of what's occurring in
101. 4:24your perception.
102. 4:27You won't feel attached to the
103. 4:29character.
104. 4:31You won't feel attached to what the
105. 4:32character experiences, what the
106. 4:34character feels.
107. 4:38It's like you're shifting your
108. 4:39identification
109. 4:41from the character back to
110. 4:42consciousness.
111. 4:45You're placing your attention before the
112. 4:48character,
113. 4:50not in the character or what comes after
114. 4:53the character.
115. 4:56When that shift starts
116. 4:58deepening, it starts going in reverse.
117. 5:04That's when you start to lose your ego.
118. 5:07You're not losing something that was
119. 5:09there.
120. 5:12What you're losing is the belief that it
121. 5:14was there
122. 5:15because there was never an ego.
123. 5:19The ego was a ghost.
124. 5:22You were immersed in something that
125. 5:23wasn't even there.
126. 5:26Because now you start to see that what
127. 5:27was always there was your real identity.
128. 5:32Your real identity is consciousness.
129. 5:35So, keep seeing your body as a stranger,
130. 5:38and the more that deepens, then you'll
131. 5:39start to see what's actually there.
132. 5:44But if it's difficult for you to do
133. 5:46this,
134. 5:47then it just means your identity is
135. 5:49completely solidified.
136. 5:53This is why there so many different
137. 5:54spiritual practices you can perform.
138. 5:58But I will tell you one thing.
139. 6:01The more you understand who it is that
140. 6:03you are,
141. 6:05The more you resonate with that truth,
142. 6:08the more you keep absorbing that truth,
143. 6:11the more you keep affirming that truth,
144. 6:14the more you start to see yourself as
145. 6:16that truth,
146. 6:18those layers will be shed away.
147. 6:21You'll shed them one by one.
148. 6:24Slowly they all start to drop.
149. 6:27And eventually you will find out.
150. 6:30You will find out who you actually are.
151. 6:33And when you do,
152. 6:36you'll no longer say that you are the
153. 6:38character.
154. 6:40You'll no longer say that this is my
155. 6:42body.
156. 6:45You'll see yourself as consciousness.
157. 6:48You were never the body.
158. 6:51You were always consciousness.
159. 6:54And that never changed.
