Reality as a Multiplayer Simulation

The speaker emphasizes that only the current moment and what you are aware of in that moment truly exist. There is no objective reality outside of awareness; everything else, including past and future, is just a thought. The belief in a separate self moving through a linear world is an illusion created by thoughts, similar to a video game character on a single screen where no actual journey occurs. All experiences unfold from one awareness, and the perception of other people or distant places is false—only the present appearance exists. To realize this truth, one must give up thoughts and desires, holding firm to the knowledge that only awareness is real. This leads to a distaste for worldly illusions and a recognition that all moments are the same, arising from the same center. The journey of life is about getting lost in these illusions and finding one's way back to the true self, which cannot be explained but only known by letting go of everything. The speaker urges constant remembrance of this awareness to avoid being deceived by the artificial appearance of reality.

what you're aware of right now in this very moment, this precise moment right now. That's all that exists. Okay? Try to understand what that truly means in your experience. Okay? Don't just think about it intellectually. I'm literally telling you that everything that you're aware of in this exact moment, whatever it is that you're aware of, it could be something that you see apart from you. It could be a thought that just comes to you. Right? All of that is just something that you're aware of right now. And that is all that exists. If that's the case, then what has to be said about objective reality? Who could answer that question? What does that say about objective reality? What does that say about reality as something out there? That there is no objective reality independent of you or your awareness. Exactly. Now what does that mean? What does that mean in terms of your actual experience? Or what does that say? Who can answer that? They've divvised saying that whatever you're aware of out there or at this moment is not separate from your awareness. The awareness that you're using at this very moment to be aware of that. If that's the case, then what does that say about someone who's miles away from it? What does that say? That is not clearly there. It's just in the mind. Okay. And what that says essentially is that that belief that someone holds, believing that there's actually people apart from them, is not a truth. And that's literally the belief that everyone in this world has. Even when they talk about spirituality. If I'm telling you that whatever you're aware of in this exact moment is all that exists in that exact moment, then what does that say about all other moments? What does that say? Who can get that? Who can get that against it? What does that say? That they're just a thought. Even when wrongly we perceive them to be really existing, they're actually just in the mind. Okay. See that in something that's more in terms of your actual experience. Make it more aligned to that. I want to hear it that I want to hear something more organic, something more normal. Go a little deeper with that. So when we say that only the current moment exists, only the current snapshot exists, non-separates from awareness. So the other moments of believing that there's somebody out there in an objective universe or the moments of past and future, they only exist as a thought. And not really in experience because I can only experience the now moment, the appearance that I'm aware of right now and nothing apart from it. So whatever I perceive apart from it is just in the mind. Beautiful. Does everyone understand what's our future, sir? And if you guys understand that, then what are you going to do with that now? What are you going to do with it? You have to put it in use. You have to literally remember that because if you don't remember it, you're going to continue to be deceived. And when you continue to be deceived, you know, the father you are away from knowing truth. And if that's the case, then anything that's behind me does not exist. Whatever it is that appears to be behind me that I eventually know of, only exists in that moment. It is known. Why should I continue to believe that I'm a body walking with and somehow telling myself or convincing myself that I just left home, which was just a hundred feet away. And now I'm going to work as if work summer is something out there. As if you're going to a job that's 10 miles away. What actually happened? A person who left their house and went to work and spent eight hours doing that, going from point A to point B, and then going back from point B to point A. What does that say about that actual belief that people hold when they're going to work? What does that say about that? Is that actually happening? Is that something that's actually happening? Well, I'm telling you, it doesn't. That's not how it happens. It doesn't happen like that. Why? Because nothing happens. Nothing happens. Nothing can only say nothing happens because we're perceiving truth. How can there be happenings if there's just one? And that one is your awareness. It was only when that awareness started to perceive something, something other than itself, and just spontaneously and automatically being sucked into that object. And I believe in themselves that someone who is someone and that someone is doing something. If only one is perceived and that one is you, then what exactly is changing? Well, exactly. I just imagine that, right? We've discussed how there is no objective world out there. And that everything you're aware of is only something that exists in that single moment. You're aware of it. And if you shift it to another piece of knowledge that you're now aware of, whatever that appear to occur before, right? That was just its own moment. And now it's gone. It doesn't exist. It doesn't exist when there's another moment being perceived. If that's the case, then there's only one. And I'm telling you right now that that one is you and you're aware of it right now. So whatever you're aware of in this exact moment is the only thing that's preventing you from knowing yourself. Because once you become aware of something different, that's when you get to see, and that's when you start, that's when you start to see changes as if changes are actually real. So whatever I left behind me when I continue on my way, it doesn't exist. It's not there. Because what's there is actually nothing. It's actually nothing. Autism is being the fundamental essence of reality. Only knows itself because things appear to change. So we've set all of this, then we pretty much understand the way reality works and it's no different than a video game. It is no different. We've all played video games. So back then when I used to play video games, there was, I think, most of it was, I guess, most of the time I spent playing video games when I was younger, multiplayer only existed if you had like four controllers or three controllers, right? And you all play whoever's there plays the multiplayer game. There were no multiplayer games online. Like, online wasn't really a thing back then. Right, now everyone plays online. And so I could play at my home, someone else could play in their home and we're all playing in the same game. Just imagine there being only one screen, right? Only one screen. And you're believing yourself to be this character in that screen. This character that's doing something. What is the character doing in this case? It's trying to shoot people, right? It's trying to find someone to shoot, right? Because the game I used to play a lot when I was a kid was golden eye. That's a shooting game. So you're just that character in this screen and you're walking around trying to shoot someone with your gut. Okay. When that's happening, that is all that exists, right? That experience that you're having as a character roaming around. That is all that exists. There's nothing else outside of that. Now when you're a video game character, right? And you're going through the different, I don't know, what do they call them? Levels or whatever, going through different levels, you know, going through the landscape of the video game, wherever it takes you on the map, whatever. That all, that journey that happens only appears to be a journey when you're convincing yourself that you're going from here to there and then when you finally come to there, whatever happened before, something that actually happened that led you in that destination, that belief is ingrained in the character and it continues to be part of the game, which you're just finding yourself in right now. So if we're talking about a shooting game and someone's going from one room to the next, in the actual game, none of that actually happens, right? None of it actually happens as if it was something that actually happened. You're really just going through different moments and it's all being shown on the screen. It's not like some character actually went from one place to the next. It was just the unfoldment that was all happening on the screen. So if a video game character is moving, is turning around and going backwards, from the terms of act, from the, from the, just the knowledge of that, that it's a programming that's contributing to this game that you're seeing on the screen and that this programming is allowing the video, the video game character to keep walking and keep going through different levels, different scenery. All of that is really just enabling the experiencer to believe that it's actually going from some point to somewhere else. When none of it is actually happening, right? What's actually happening is just a programming that's unfolding and that, that program is not somewhere out there. It's not like some machinery. It's not like some tangible property. It's, it's so subtle you can say that it's just a dream, that just appeared. It's, it's that faint. Yet when we get immersed in the, in the movement, we believe that it's something real. We believe that there's things outside of us, things far away. When none of that actually exists, none of that actually exists. There's nothing apart from you, right? Just like the game, like what was apart from the game, the characters, the character was just moving, but it was just a movement through different expressions that all happened on that same singular screen. So exactly the way that's operating. But when we talk about the video game, that's exactly how it is right now. We're only, like Sashe said, we're only getting these thoughts in this very moment, right? These thoughts in this very moment where we just automatically believe that we're someone and that there's other things out there. Start to get rid of those thoughts. Start to let, we start to ignore those thoughts so much that you don't even know they exist. The more you do that, the more you start to see that experience of there being these distinct moments that's all happening so fast that it makes you believe that they're, they're as an actual world when there's actually nothing. That understanding, that knowledge, that experience comes when you start giving up thoughts. Because the thought is what's giving you the illusion that there's different moments and that those moments are happening linearly. The thoughts do that. The thoughts are culprit. They're convincing you, convincing who, convincing Brahman. Convincing Brahman so much that Brahman has just turned into a Jeeva, turn into a Jeeva. That's now trying to get back what it lost. But which was never lost. Once you got back, you realized that there was just him the entire time. Let's talk about not just your experience. Let's account for everyone else's experience because there appears to be so many different Jeevas. What does that say? What does that say in the terms of our actual experience? Who thinks they can answer that? What does that say in terms of our actual experience right now? What does that say about other people and where they exist right now? In the moment that you're aware of, what things they can do that? In the moment that I'm aware of right now and if I see another person, so it's just the appearance of the body of that person that I'm aware of. Just like any other thing, be it a chair or a plant, it's just the appearance of the body that I'm aware of in being non-separate from my environment. And the perception of there being other people, being in other cities or somewhere else is false because only the current snapshot exists from me. Well said, well said, okay now what about, what about someone else's perspective? Where's that big held? Right? Here, it's headed in the same center, the same awareness that I am, that's the same awareness that they are as well. It's the same center. It's not different, the screen is not different, it's the same screen that's just holding two different perspective. Okay. So then if that's the case, right, if that's the case, then it must mean that Brahma is aware of everything at once. You see, it's aware of everything at once. There's just one. How could it not happen all that was? And if that's the case, then it's the same. Then why should you be so mesmerized? So mesmerized of this world. So mesmerized with your experience. And that's the case. It brings a little disgust. Right? Now, disgust, not in a harsh sense. That's something that you're completely disgusted with. It's just what seemed like it really mattered no longer it does because you know there's just you. So the flavor changes of the experience and changes. Right? The flavor was so intense when you were playing, when you were conditioned, when you're believing everything. But once you start to understand that there's nothing that's actually real. There's no actual object. Right? There's no object that lives for a specific amount of time. Right? Or last for this length of time, there is also such thing as that because it's all just moments. What is a moment? It's just a snapshot of knowledge that just happens. So fast, you lose it. If it's all just moments like that and each moment is really no different than the next, then why be so mesmerized with life? With things you perceive is good or bad. Why is so why be so indulged in that if you're starting to realize, well, is it really something that I desire because it seems like I'm only getting tricked? That is the type of attitude you need to really go into a bananta. You don't have that. Bananta is going to be very difficult. You're not really going to experience the truth of an auto. So you have to have some type of inner trait, inner personality to, you know, not be so indulgent in things and desires. Right? Right? If you're indulgent, then most likely you're not ready for the auto. And this knowledge is supposed to help give you that distaste. You have that distaste. You try to reach something higher, something higher. If I'm telling you that there's nothing outside of you, then I want you to hold on to your awareness and always hold on to it, knowing that it's just there. That's the only thing that's there. Hold on, even hold on to the conceptual knowledge of their only being awareness when you're in a particular moment. And try to do that as much as you can. Right? Because if you really want realization, you have to make everything the same. Right? If you make everything the same, then you can't create distinctions. But you keep continuing to create distinctions. You're not going to look at things the same. And if you don't look at the things the same, the exact same, no flaws, the exact same. Daniel just continue living in a dualistic world. Then you're going to perceive yourself as someone doing something. And that someone is immortal. That someone will die. What is all of that? It's just moments. It's just moments. But regardless of the moment being different, they're all the same. They're all the same because it's the only thing that you're aware of is being held on that singular screen of you being aware of it. And that exact center is all that exists. Keep reminding yourself that. If you don't remind yourself and you forget about it, you're going to go back into seeing reality in an artificial way. So artificial that you've completely lost knowledge that there's just you. And instead want to believe in that there's things outside of them. And that's when the search starts. See, the whole journey of samsara is just to get lost and then find your way back. That's the journey. Why is the journey that way? Because it appears that it happens that way. Right? It appears that it happens that way. Because consciousness becomes aware of something. The moment it becomes aware of something, it gets lost. And I would believe that it's some entity trying to find something. It's just a constant search for happiness. You become happy with so many different things. Will you urge more? You keep urging more. You keep urging more to a point where you're not even sure what to urge anymore. And that's when you find your way back home. And when you find your way back home, it's as if that none of that ever happened. Why? Because it was just you the entire time. It's all about getting lost and then finding your way back. That's the entire journey. Stay with that awareness wherever you go. You want to believe that you and Samarit find. But stay in that awareness. Knowing that it's just that awareness. The more you do that, the more you'll start to forget that you were an actual body traveling through a world. That's when you start to see, oh, I was just a screen. I was just a screen beneath it all beneath all the all the happenings, the apparent happenings. I was just a screen that was observing at the entire time. As is. And somehow got lost. And here I am. So if you understand that way, then guess what? If we're talking about duality, then we can say that there's duality and non-duality at the same exact time. Because if we say it that way, then we we basically nullify everything. What can be said? That is not going over our mother. That is the truth right now. That's the truth right now. Many different religions will try to describe that. Financial say it's consciousness. Buddhism will say it's emptiness. Right. There's so many different ways to just explain it using your own words. Right. But at the end of the day, it cannot be explained. It cannot be explained. And so you use the only thing you have now is to use some word to describe it. We use it a word to describe the unexplainable. And now, and not that we've given it a word. Everyone wants to disagree with that word. No one wants to accept it. Few people might. Most people won't. Everyone gets attached to a specific way it is explained. Everyone resonates to that version of truth. Irrespective of all of it, you will always find your way back home. And who can ultimately, who cares about them in different ways that it was explained? Who cares? Because once you're back home, none of that even matters. None of that matters. There was just you. Right? No need to be. You have to be careful. You need to give anything meaning. There's just you. And the true you cannot be explained. It truly cannot be explained. To know that, you have to give up everything. Give up all thoughts and imaginations. Everything that you're aware of right now, just give it up. Forget about it. Make it go non-existent. Let it vanish. If you do that, you'll see that there's just you. That's it. Done. End of story. So if you look at the game, that's being played on the screen. Someone else in it, let's say, like, quote unquote, someone else in a different country is playing the game. And all characters, no matter what locations they're playing in, are all playing on the exact in the exact same game. And so they see the game from their eyes. Someone else see the game from their eyes. And this goes on for infinity. Goes on for infinity. But what's always constant is the screen. What's always constant is the screen. Right? The game is being played and is being played on one screen. I think can be said about other screens. There's only that one screen. Right? So every game is just being played from the same center. Again, Brad might knows everything that was. Right? So let me also say that everyone's sharing the same awareness. But even when we say everyone is sharing the same awareness, as if everyone was something that was actually valid or truthful, who's everyone? Everyone is no one distinct. Everyone is just that same awareness. If that's the case, flow through with awareness only in every single moment. Just keep firm on your awareness knowing that it's just you. Knowing that is just you. And if you, if we actually do that and you do it for some time, you'll start to see this world as a video game. You start to see it as a simulation. You don't see it as something that is actually real anymore. It's it's being seen as a simulation. It's being seen that way. Literally in your experience, it's seen that way. How is it seen that way? Because you start to see that there's just awareness and that the projected moments are being flashed, being projected from where from you because there's only you. Right? We're all sharing the same awareness because there's only awareness. There is no all. It's just that's just that one awareness. Don't let it go away from that. Why let it go away from that when it's that's just all there is. That's the that's the crucial reason why there must be practice. Because if you don't practice, you get lost. You forget. But no matter what, you'll find your way home. Okay, let's end it there. I'll see if you guys have any questions. I have a question. Yeah, so this is something that really struck with me earlier as everybody shares the same awareness and my true nature, Brahman, knows all perspective at once. So why can't I perceive from somebody else's perspective and only my very good question, very good question. The reason why is because there's laws. You could call that universal law. Right? And ultimately, it's because the program is defaulted that way. What program? The program of Maya of the of the illusion of the simulation. Right? It's defaulted that way. And if it's defaulted that way, then that's the reason why it is the way it is. Right? A moment can't interact with another moment. It can't interact. Right? It's completely isolated. And there is no connecting it. There's no connecting with it. It automatically and spontaneously without any control, without anyone dictating it, unfolds the way unfolds. And each moment can never interact with one another. Because it's that way, we say that it's a law, a universal law. Who made up the law? No one. We can't attribute the order to anyone. Why? Because upon realization, we realized there was only me. There was only Brahman. And if there was only Brahman, then what exactly did Brahman create? What exactly did Brahman will? What is what is all of these concepts? What are all these questions, meanings? What do they have to do if they're just me? Right? If they're just me. But somehow we see ourselves entangled in these different moments, these different stock shots. Right? So much so that we forget ourselves. The moments can never interact with one another. And because they can't interact with one another, they're always isolated. Yeah. It's always being played. And it's being played all at once on the singular screen of Brahman. Right? If the moment's interacted, then there wouldn't be continuity. There wouldn't be linearality. There wouldn't be cause and effects. It'd be some major failure in the system. And the failure of the system would not allow us to experience my this way. Okay. That's why. That's why. Right? You're always, this is always constricted into a specific moment. And it just go through moments after moments after moments after moments after moments. And that's how that's the only way it can proceed moments. Right? So it's whatever it's constricted to. That's all it knows. Right? I could tell my I could tell let's put this to the test. Right? There's four people, five people on his phone on his phone call. Right? So there's five different versions of what awareness is being aware of. Okay? There's five different versions of what awareness could be aware of. Okay. Now let's just let's just freeze this moment in time right now. Okay? Five seconds ago, what exactly were you doing? What exactly were you aware of? Right? That's all that could have happened in that moment. Yet I can tell you right now, well, hey, listen, Vikram, well, in that moment, I was aware of this and then dip, because they way we hold up, hold up. And that's that exact moment that just passed. I was aware of this. This is what actually happened. No, no, this is what actually happened. See, everyone's got their own version of truth, but it's all happening in that exact moment, that exact moment. Right? You can't beat, you can't discombobulate and go from like, or more like as if like it's. like it all happened at once because to really understand what if it all happened at once you have to be Brahman right you have to be Brahman you'd be beyond all moments okay but consciousness can only be aware of one specific moment in that moment it can't be aware of some other moment because in that moment that's all that existed that's all that existed right but because for Dr. Tuzas that there's just Brahman then it only means that Brahman is just aware of all moments at once so we can't say that your experience wasn't valid my experience wasn't valid someone else's experience was invalid consciousness was just aware of that singular moment right then and it happened in so many different ways right in this case by different ways right now what does that say about you as a character what does that say about Sakshi what does that say about dip what does that say about big run what does it say about me what does it say about someone else what does that say what does that say that your body your you do the belief that you hold that you're some physical entity it's all just moments different moments right different moments right so why even entertain that entertain about me being someone and then someone else experiencing some other thing that me trying to experience what other other person is experiencing like what does it matter then what does it matter then when all those were just characters characters in a sense that they never existed as characters but was just some role like a story like like what a story is the story is just happening and it never really happened this we just tell the story about it right if you give up the idea that you're the body and give up the idea that you're some entity and just go back to the knowledge of of someone saying okay there's only awareness and what you're aware of is just whatever you're aware of in that exact moment and in that exact moment there is just awareness so that means there's always awareness if you go back to that knowledge right what does that say about all these different characters what does that say about all these different stories all these different roles all these different journeys this is all just containing your awareness and if your awareness is all there is then what was the meaning of all those other things what was the true meaning behind those other things because in truth satshi you're aware of this experience right now that's the truth because your brahma div is just a role so you're you're aware of div too you're aware of the two but that that knowledge that that that truth needs to happen when you see everything as one when you see that there's just your awareness and there was nothing actually apart from it right because even when we know this conceptually we still experience things outside of us we still believe that there's things outside of us that's why we that's why we have to go back home putting in the work putting in the practice remembering staying firm and out of areas get rid of getting rid of those thoughts ignoring them forgetting them that they even existed heard everything the same and that's who you are that's who you are there's just that one one one one one of where this that's it there's just that one of where so even all this all these um you know stories about there being different people are there being different experiences or there being different or subjective experiences at the end of the day it's all just happening in bramad and in bramad means in awareness and in awareness means that there's just awareness and that awareness is what you're holding right now forget about everyone else's awareness because your awareness is all there is why because everyone has that awareness all the characters have that awareness all the roles have that awareness there's just that awareness that's all there is that's all anyone is holding on to and that awareness is the exact same because there's just one and whatever moment it's aware of it's aware of that's it forget about all the other moments forget about the moments that happen to someone else or what do i care about that if it's just me right now but if you care about it you get lost in it when you get lost in it you believe in it you believe in something that's not even real that's a good question so actually because asking those questions gives you eventually gives you a better understanding of higher than get a better understanding of how reality is working and just by knowing that changes you and it takes a side out of you but higher safe firm and out of awareness stay firm in there yes i have another question yes please yes so when we talk about the game the video game so we usually have the understanding that there is the player who is we can say controlling the video game character so when we talk about the illusion that we find ourselves in so is there a controller or is the character just playing in one end of it okay now we are in deep okay give me one second let me go into some of the real quick there is no controller if there is no controller then we can say that the character is playing involuntarily but if if that becomes a truth if the character is playing involuntarily then what is there to say about who's playing right think about that who is it that's playing that if you're playing involuntarily who is it that's playing see that's if you if you begin to understand or even go into the realizations the actual experience where you feel like you're playing involuntarily when that experiences in motion the knowledge then becomes who's playing who's playing if there's just me and i know i'm not playing then who's playing it's your own inexplicable power your own inexplicable power get even that understanding or that knowledge of their being a power eventually goes away when you have to give that up as well because even that was a concept even that was a concept so you can say that you're playing involuntarily right but i mean i guess there's two ways to interpret that someone who's attached to jibba hood when they say playing involuntarily still believe that they're it's a damn and that they're not playing voluntarily okay they're not playing a voluntary then who's that and what exactly is that doing right right for someone who's more wise who understands the Pardanto when they say that they're playing involuntarily, then it means that they're just witnessing something that's automatically happening and that no one is really controlling it. Of course, you can say, well, okay, well, maybe the Jiva, if the Jiva is not a control, then is Eshwara in control of it? Is Eshwara really in control of it? Is the quote, the quote unquote, "God" in control of it? We want to attribute these things to God. But notice how we only attribute them to God when we take ourselves to being something inferior to God. If we give up that meaning, then what is God? What is God? What is God controlling? Tell me exactly what is God controlling? Because I don't see him controlling anything. That's something that needs to be given up too. To go beyond God. Go beyond this ignorant understanding of what God is. God is just the intelligence. It's just the intelligence. It's because of the intelligence that we can talk about the intelligent. But if you give up that intelligence, then who is it that intelligent? The truth is there is no God. There is no God. The Jiva wants to believe in God. And because the Jiva is experiencing duership and because the Jiva is experiencing enjoy your ship. And oh, there must be this God that's making it happen. And of course, you can see that. Of course, you can see that. Because the intelligence itself is allowing you to operate as such. Put in the practice and stop operating that way. And then how can you speak about some intelligence? The intelligence doesn't have hold of me. I'm already free. I hope that helps. Yes, thank you. Can I ask just a last question? Yes, Sasha, please. Yeah, so in the view game, we see that there are certain powers that the player can hit, like the teleportation or going through different timelines, we can skip timelines and the game. So what does that mean in this reality? I think I didn't understand what you said in the very beginning, but you just said how to shift timelines. So to say to say the second part, how to shift timelines when what? No, no, no. I said that in the video game, the player can get different powers. Like shifting timelines or teleportations or what does that mean in this reality? What does that mean in this reality? The player getting different powers. Yeah, okay. Well, I mean, talking more about cities and what does it serve? Was that like a question? Yeah. Okay. I mean, there's many different types of cities you could have. The cities come when you start accessing the subtle planes. Because, think about it, right? Let's get a bad understanding of power, of this word power. That's what cities are. But what is this power? There's an intelligence. That intelligence, you can't say that it's made up of something. It's just intelligence. That's what it's made up of. It's made up of intelligence. You can't really say that intelligence is something that's material. It's just this power. Right? There's just intelligence. It's not actually there in physical existence. It's just imaginary. It's just an imagination. And it's intelligence. Okay. It's intelligence. But somehow that intelligence there's something about it where it enables you to experience reality as if you're some physical thing and as if you're in contact with other physical things. Okay. So in other words, that intelligence is deceiving you and it's deceiving you so much that you not believe in materiality. When in truth, there really isn't no such thing as materiality. Because once you start doing your sardana and you start taking your awareness into the subtle worlds, giving up this understanding that everything is physical. Right? Intellectually and actually in your experience, giving totally giving it up with drawing from your senses. Well, drawing from your senses. This is going to be a natural consequence of someone who's putting the pedantic practical use. Right? The more you turn your attention that way, the less deceived you are. The less deceived you are, you're not holding on to some deception that's making you believe that you're some physical entity and that you don't really, you can't really access powers because you're just this human being. Like how can a human being access powers? Right? To really access those powers, you have to give up this understanding that you're a human being. Right? You start to go inward into the deception away from all the beliefs of materiality and from the experiences of materiality and seeing that what actually was happening was there was this there was just intelligence, this power that enabled you to experience reality that way. When in truth that intelligence was not something that was and that is an actual something, it's just an intelligence. It's imaginary yet you know what's there because it's a projecting an experience, projecting an experience of what, projecting an experience of you being in the subtle worlds. In the mind, completely detached from physicality, seeing that there's just the mind that's unraveling. Those are the subtle fields. You start to see what that intelligence really is. You start to tap into it. Right? When you start tapping into it, then you start seeing that this intelligence was projecting physicality. But now you're aware of something much more subtle. The less deceived you are, the more you're able to understand what that intelligence is. And the more you understand that intelligence, the more powers you get. It gives you powers. Okay, what's some of these powers? Let's talk about that, but really quickly just remember. Right? That what's truly happening is just moments unfolding. So you'd ever actually existed as this person holding power because that was also a character. Right? That's also a character. So some of the powers that you get. Being high frequency means that you're able to understand some things that's happening in someone's amount. You're able to connect with them more, to really experience the world as how they're living it. And this happens to me all the time. At work. When I go out, you kind of just see what it's like to live through someone's body, someone's mind, someone's thoughts. But at the end of the day, as I said before, there's laws. There's laws in place that prevents you from doing that. Because if the more that's done, the more there's chaos. And the programming is designed so that there's always balance. Like even if things appear to go wrong, there's going to be something that happens that brings it back to bounce. We talk about avatars. That's the role for the avatar. That's the role. Other powers, you start to really get a good grasp of how Maya works. The mechanics of it, how it really runs. All this is just intelligence. You're just getting intelligence. The only thing is this intelligence is one of the highest intelligence that you can have. Because you literally get to a point where you understand how it all came to be. Like the truth of that. The truth of how it all came to be. But the truth behind that. Because there's even a truth behind that. That's the direction you go when you start getting into the extreme depths of the intelligence. Where you start to let go of the intelligence. Right? It's almost as if the intelligence is giving you the highest knowledge. And if you go higher, it loses itself. There is no more intelligence. What intelligence? Right? Unlocking secrets, getting information hidden with it. A lot of stuff that some people don't have access to. Because they're still living on a surface. They're not going into depths. They're not venturing into depths. Right? Don't close or you can start shifting timelines. Shifting timelines. You can kind of wrap your head around what a timeline is. If once you understood that. There's just all these different moments and they're all happening at once. Right? So when we say shifting timelines, it just means that you're taking your attention in a different direction. In a different series of snapshots that that journeys in a different particular way. Then the journey that could have happened if you went in the other direction. Well, the direction opposite from it. Right? There's all these different directions where your story can go. Right? That's the beauty of it. The beauty of it is that you're allowed to your able to conceive of the dream in a linear way. And because you conceive of the dream in a linear way, it feels as if you're living a life. And that life is going from point A to point B. Right? See, there, there, there is no going from point A to point B. There is no character. There is no role. There is no person to willing. There is no volition. There is, there is no controlling. There is no doing. There is no acting. Right? There is actually none of that. There is none of it. There is just you. Like, literally, there is just you. Alright, so other cities. Other cities. Other cities could also mean enhancing your capabilities. In other words, if I wanted to, I can go into one of my cities and manipulate my body, manipulate my mind in some way. Right? Because the more you're able to access the subtle worlds and the more you're able to access the, or in other words, accessing the mind, the deeper mind, you eventually get into the deep hidden thoughts that erupt into the world that you're experiencing on the day to day. You're going down into one of the fundamental layers of reality where that projection is being sourced from. Like it's coming from there. Right? Coming from there. So if that's the case, then of course, if you go deep into the subtle worlds, you can manipulate things and make things happen in a particular way. Like maybe heal my body, heal my own body so that I live longer. Feel my own body in a specific way that can benefit me in what I'm doing right now as this role. See? In other words, when you've mastered that, you're able to have more fun. More fun. More fun because it's more fun because you can access the self at your will, but also go into the subtle worlds and see how it all operates. And use it for your own purpose because ultimately you're making it a purpose. Even the stage who's teaching, it's for a purpose. For a purpose. You give it, and you give it a purpose. Or are you willing to give up that purpose? Because once you give it not a purpose, then what can be set at that point? What can be set at that point? Right? So you can heal your body if you wanted to. You can make things in a particular way. You're sort of your you're sort of manifesting things. You can say you can call it an act of manifestation. Right? I mean, nothing is really manifested out of thin air. It's not like something came to be. Right? All the manifestations are already out there. You're just putting your attention on it because they already exist. They already exist. They already there. Remember, Brahma is experiencing everything at once. So it's all there right now. Right? Knowledge of everything already exists in the present moment. You can find your way in there and form your own journey. Form your own journey. Right? Now this comes to the question of well, okay, well, all this time even saying that you don't have any will. Things are just happening. That's not invalidating that truth. Right? That truth still stands. So who is it really that manipulated everything? Who is it that healed themselves? Because even that is not in your control. Even that isn't involuntarily. So the illusion is that you're just giving it ownership. Why are you giving it ownership? Because it's there. And you want to inquire a little more on what's there. Right? You can inquire on the self, which is self-inquiry. Or you can inquire in the Jeeva and get lost. So many different types of cities you could have. But it ultimately it's all intelligence. It's all intelligence. Right? Who wants to brag about if they've teleported somewhere? Or if they've done this, that's just giving it to more illusion. Right? The best cities, the highest cities to have is to understand how my work and how it all came to be. Right in the very depths of where all of this knowledge comes from. Right? You rest there. You're right next to the soft. You're right next to what to true knowledge. Not false knowledge, true knowledge. So hopefully that gave you a better view of cities, actually. So in essence, it's really just tapping into an intelligence and leveraging it for your own false, doership and enjoyership. So it was an actual consequence of turning inward and accessing the subtle fields. Because once that happens, you start to get a whole of that intelligence. Liberation is a very conscious process. Extremely conscious. Right? You're getting information that you didn't have access to before and you're getting it in the flash and it's coming, hitting your awareness. And when it hits you, that's what you know. So nothing to really be said about it. It's just knowing something extremely intuitively and then figuring out what to do with that piece of. Should I tell others, okay, let me explain it in a specific way that can help. People have become more conscious of what is that's really there. Right? In a way that they eventually become less deceived, what is actually there? Oh, what's actually not there, I'm sorry. Okay. Any other questions? I can be questions about anything. It does not have to be related to the topic. Okay. So if I guess that variable is good, then we can give you guys back your time. If you want to keep believing in it.

Podcast Summary

Key Points:

  1. Only the present moment and what you are aware of in that moment truly exists; there is no objective reality independent of awareness.
  2. Past and future are merely thoughts; they do not exist in actual experience.
  3. The belief in a separate self, other people, and a linear journey through space and time is an illusion created by thoughts.
  4. Reality is compared to a video game on a single screen
  5. To realize truth, one must give up attachment to thoughts and desires, holding firm to the knowledge that only awareness exists.
  6. The goal is to see everything as the same (non-dual), leading to a distaste for worldly illusions and a return to the true self.

Summary:

The speaker emphasizes that only the current moment and what you are aware of in that moment truly exist. There is no objective reality outside of awareness; everything else, including past and future, is just a thought. The belief in a separate self moving through a linear world is an illusion created by thoughts, similar to a video game character on a single screen where no actual journey occurs.

All experiences unfold from one awareness, and the perception of other people or distant places is false—only the present appearance exists. To realize this truth, one must give up thoughts and desires, holding firm to the knowledge that only awareness is real. This leads to a distaste for worldly illusions and a recognition that all moments are the same, arising from the same center.

The journey of life is about getting lost in these illusions and finding one's way back to the true self, which cannot be explained but only known by letting go of everything. The speaker urges constant remembrance of this awareness to avoid being deceived by the artificial appearance of reality.

FAQs

Everything you're aware of in this exact moment is all that exists; there is no objective reality independent of your awareness.

Other people and distant locations only appear as thoughts or snapshots in your current awareness; they do not exist as separate, real entities.

Thoughts convince you that there are distinct moments happening linearly, creating the illusion of a real world with changes and time.

Reality is like a video game on a single screen; characters and movements are just unfolding moments, not actual journeys, and the screen (awareness) is all that exists.

You need a distaste for worldly desires and indulgence, seeing them as tricks, and a firm hold on the knowledge that only awareness exists.

Remind yourself constantly that only awareness exists, ignore thoughts that create distinctions, and treat every moment as the same to avoid dualistic thinking.
