You  came  here  to  learn  how  to  dream  a  new  dream.    It  is  a  revolution  that  will  turn  upside  down   your  old,  narrow  vision  with  its  dreary  projections  which  you  have  nurtured  for  so  many  years.     Wars,  disease,  misery  and  death  will  disappear  from  this  planet  if  you  understand  that  all  comes   from  within  and  that  all  can  be  changed  through  a  new  dream  -­‐  a  powerful  movement  that  will   give  birth  to  a  brand  new  reality.     The  Dreamer

Qualitative Economy

A  mere  act  of  attention  due  to  self-­‐observation,  may  change  your  inner  state,  your  position  in   yourself,  and  get  you  into  a  better  position  in  life.   You  know  a  lot  about  being  in  the  wrong  or  right  place  in  life,  but  very  little  about  being  in  the   wrong  or  right  place  inside  yourself.   But  remember!    The  internal    is  the  very  cause  and  so  much  more  important  than  the  external.   You  cannot  expect  to  make  the  right  decisions  when  you  are  in  the  wrong  place  internally,  when   your  level  of  attention  is  zero.   When  you  are  in  a  bad,  narrow,  evil  place  internally,  the  world  that  you  yourself  project  becomes   colder,  denser,  thicker,  heavier.   A  quantitative  economy  is  based  on  calculation,    programs,  plans  and  mathematics;  and   mathematics  cannot  deal  with  qualities,  but  only  with  quantities.    If  you  live  in  a  merely   quantitative  universe,  nothing  is  possible  for  you  -­‐  neither  change,  nor  transformation,  because   transformation  is  a  question  of  quality.   Life  can  be  transformed  only  by  changing  your  dream  -­‐  that  is,  by  turning  something  lower  into   something  higher.   An  ordinary  man,  a  machine-­‐man  is  a  function  of  the  nature-­‐machine,  guided  by  nature  and   obedient  to  nature.   A  man  of  School  starts  to  work  in  a  different  direction,  turning  upside  down  his  own  vision.   A  man  of  integrity,  a  fully  understanding  being,  contains  life,  and  through  his  revealed  Will  can   move  mountains  in  the  world  of  events.   An  ordinary  man  sees  everything  as  opposites  -­‐  a  higher  level  of  integrity  sees  all  sides  of  a   question  simultaneously.   In  a  qualitative  economy,  the  amount  of  efforts  is  useless  in  comparison  with  the  quality  of  efforts.   Your  position  and  role  in  life  is  determined  by  the  quality  of  your  own  being.      

A negative association about money

A  false,  negative  association  about  money  could  wipe  out  all  your  ability  to  succeed  in  any  field  in   life.    You  will  never  climb  above  a  certain  earnings,  or  succeed  financially  ,  if  deep  down  you   associate  having  money  to  greed  or  to  being  judged,  or  to  stress,  or  with  immorality  or  a  lack  of   ethics  or  spirituality.    

                 

They taught you to believe

They  let  you  believe  that  if  you  desire  something  long  enough  and  hard  enough,  sooner  or  later,   you  tend  to  realize  it.  They  let  you  believe  that  after  you  have  paid  the  price  and  observed  the   required  laws,  the  object  of  your  ambition  will  one  day  be  yours.  They  taught  you  to  believe  that  a   successful  individual  has  to  visualize  his  success  long  before  it  becomes  a  reality.  They  let  you   believe  that  the  constant  and  dedicated  attention  to  the  goal  you  have  set  for  yourself,  is  the  only   formula  for  its  achievement.  But  remember!  Beliefs,  hopes,  expectations  and  desires  are  all  in   time,  and  in  time  nothing  real  can  be  achieved.  What  you  call  success,  victory,  happiness,  truth  or   even  financial  power,  can  only  be  produced  and  released  in  this  very  Now,  by  the  most  real  thing   that  you  possess:  the  Art  of  Dreaming  –  the  most  practical  way  to  hit  the  mark,  win  all  battles,   overcome  all  limits  and  achieve  the  inconceivable.      

Economy is a way of thinking

At  the  forefront  of  the  new  millennium  the  human  race  is  still  a  species  in  transition  between  the   past  and  the  future.  Under  many  aspects  is  at  the  dawn  of  the  conscience.  This  old  humanity  has   an  obsolete  psychology  founded  on  a  conflictual  logic,  its  rationality  is  armed  and  operates  only   through   the   game   of   opposites,   and   its   civilization   is   still   the   product   of   war   and   of   a   predatory   spirit.   Even   science   is   the   product   of   the   juxtaposition   of   antagonistic   concepts:   good   and   evil   (ethics),  beauty  and  ugliness  (esthetics),  truth  and  falsity  (philosophy)  etc.   As  long  as  humanity  remains  a  conflictual  species  -­‐victim  of  fear  and  pain,  poverty  is  economy,  and   crime   is   economy.   The   poverty   and   crime   of   vast   regions   of   the   world   will   continue   perpetually   until  man’s  reason  remains  armed,  until  antagonists  such  as  poverty  and  wealth  continue  to  fight   each  other,  not  in  the  world  but  in  the  conscience  of  every  man  together  with  good  and  bad,  pain   and  pleasure,  fear  and  love.    Economy  is  a  way  of  thinking.  The  economy  is  the  reflection  of  our  way  of  thinking  and  feeling,  of   our  convictions  and  of  our  system  of  values.   As  long  as  the  psychology  of  man  remains  ill,    then  war,  poverty,  crime  and  pain  will  continue  to  be   the  big  pillars  of  the  world’s  economy.  For  this  reason  there  is  an  economy  of  illness  just  as  there   is  an  economy  of  war  and  an  economy  of  poverty.  Legions  of  young  people  prepared  in  schools   without  love  and  without  freedom,  add  themselves  to  the  sad  army  of  the  adults  and  perpetuate   the  professions  and  the  roles  available  in  an  economy  fueled  by  pain  and  fear.   Thinking  is  Destiny.    By  our  own  way  of  thinking  and  feeling  we  have  plotted  our  destiny  until  now.   Now,  if  we  are  capable  to  think  in  a  new  way,  then  we  have  the  power  to  change  the  future.  And   moreover,  we  can  change  the  economy  and  the  financial  destiny  of  an  entire  country.   All  schools  and  all  universities  of  the  world  perpetuate  and  spread  the  old  way  of  thinking.  They   are   the   guardians   of   old   humanity’s   way   of   thinking   and   feeling   whose   pivotal   element   is   the   idea   that  death  is  unavoidable.     Believing   and   creating   is   one   and   the   same   thing   only   divided   by   time.   Whatever   I   see   is   the   creation  of  my  belief…To  believe  means  to  create…   B+t=R    Belief+  time  =  Reality  (Life  or  world)   If  nothing  else  kills  us  before,  then  the  idea  that  death  is  unavoidable  will.  This  explains  how  still   today  a  large  part  of  the  economy  is  the  product  of  the  industry  of  death.    

The  rationality  of  man  is  armed.  His  logic  is  conflictual.  His  psychology  is  incomplete.     For   this   reason   our   economy   is   still   a   primitive   activity   if   not   downright   criminal.   Old   humanity   knows   only   to   gain   profit   from   division,   misfortunes   and   friction   between   opposites.   Enormous   machines   like   wars,   genocides   and   poverty   pushed   by   blind   destructiveness,   egoism   and   vanity   have  been,  up  until  now,  the  only  way  known  to  man  and  to  civilizations  to  move  towards  higher   levels  of  progress  and  economic  prosperity.  Just  look  at  what  happened  to  the  economies  of  the   defeated   countries,   nearly   completely   destroyed   by   the   World   War   Two:   Germany,   Japan   and   Italy.   Unconsciously   but   periodically   humanity   turns   on   a   destructive   mechanism   in   order   to   move   forward.  It  knows  no  other  way.   The   economy   of   the   future,   an   economy   of   well-­‐being   must   be   created   by   men   that   love,   by   dreamers.   To   fight   and   win   poverty   in   the   world   we   must   render   bountiful   our   intelligence,   nurture   and   elevate   our   being.   Poverty   and   crime   are   illnesses   of   being.   The   individual   must   be   overturned:   he   must   free   his   psychology   from   conflictual   thinking,   negative   emotions,   especially   from   doubts   and   fear,   and   his   conscience   from   scarcity.   This   is   the   individual   revolution:   a   revolution   of   being.   The   slightest   rise   in   your   level   of   being   moves   mountains   in   the   world   of   economy  and  finance,  it  can  remove  the  historic  poverty  of  nations  and  entire  civilizations,  and  it   can  conduct  eras  of  war  and  fear  towards  peace.   A   new   species,   completely   transformed   is   about   to   appear   on   the   scene.   A   new   man,   the   “vertical   man”  is  the  man  that  has  broken  the  psychological  vortex  and  the  old  ways  of  thinking  that  have   imprisoned   the   old   humanity.   The   new   man   has   a   complete   psychology,   free   from   conflicts   and   that  does  not  see  only  through  opposites  but  sees  reality  made  up  of  different  layers,  the  levels  of   being.   The   central   role   that   education   will   have   in   the   new   era   of   man   must   be   deepened   and   this   is   vital   for   the   survival   and   evolution   of   our   civilization.   New   schools   and   universities   that   are   able   to  express  a  system   of   vital  ideas  in  order   to   prepare   this   new  species,   a  governing   class   free   from   conflicts,   businessmen   and   managers   capable   to   redefine   the   central   concepts   surrounding   ethics,   the   economy   and   spirituality,   a   generation   of   leaders   that   are   able   to   harmonize   the   seemingly   apparent   antagonisms   of   all   time:   economics   and   ethics,   action   and   contemplation,   financial   power  and  love.     Special  schools  and  new  universities  are  needed.  Their  first  task  is  to  teach  the  revolution  of  being   and   at   the   centre   of   their   attention   and   at   the   top   of   their   every   priority   there   must   be   the   individual.  The  seed  lies  in  the  being  of  the  individual.  We  have  to  start  from  within.  It  is  a  process   inside-­‐out  just  like  when  healing  a  wound.   Every   other   revolution   in   history   has   failed.   True   transformation,   the   solution   to   the   millenary   problems  of  man  can  be  only  be  the  product  of  a  mental  revolution.  We  have  to  think  differently.     Who  commits  a  crime  or  is  poor  has  a  distorted  vision  of  the  world.  He  thinks  that  the  external   world  can  make  him  rich  and  happy  but  the  truth  is  that  the  world  and  all  its  events  is  nothing  but   the   effect,   the   consequence,   the   shadow   of   being.   The   world   is   the   projection   of   our   way   of  

thinking   and   the   economy   is   the   reflection   of   our   values   and   our   ideas.   He   who   does   not   give   attention  to  his  being  will  not  be  able  to  prosper  but  is  destined  to  lose  his  possessions,  all  that  he   has  and  also  what  he  merely  ‘believes’  to  have.     Man  is  made  up  of  layers.  He  can  produce  falsity  and  pain  just  as  he  can  produce  truth,  beauty  and   goodness.   We   must   teach   how   to   bring   forth   his   own   uniqueness   which   the   world   as   a   consequence  will  reflect.   Only   the   individual   can   change   society.   The   revolution   is   purely   individual   therefore   it   is   the   individual  that  must  understand,  harmonize  and  balance  his  being.   ESE  is  dedicated  to  the  individual,  to  his  intellectual  and  humanitarian  preparation,  which  it  puts  at   the   centre   of   every   activity.     ESE   teaches   the   Individual   Revolution   and   is   dedicated   to   the   preparation   of   men   that   have   omitted   from   their   being   egoism,   conflict,   poverty,   prejudice   and     even  the  idea  that  death  is  unavoidable.    It  is  for  these  reasons  that  they  will  be  able  to  attract  and   create  wealth.   Man   is   ready   -­‐   intelligence   and   love   lie   already   within.   It   is   visible   in   every   student.     The   School   does   not   have   to   add   anything,   but   to   bring   to   light   their   originality,   and   the   beauty   of   their   uniqueness.   For   this   reason   there   is   no   need   for   external   teachings.   The   root   of   ‘educate’   is   ‘to   take  out’    :  Ex-­‐duco.   This  has  to  be  the  main  principle  for  a  School  of  liberty,  of  self-­‐knowledge…  a  School  of  integrity.   The  school  of  the  future  has  to  eliminate  more  than  to  add  on.  To  eliminate  old  structures,  rusted   concepts,   obsolete   ideas,   to   abandon   preconceived   notions,   false   sentiments,   imaginary   fears   and     identification,  to  destroy  negative  emotions,  destructive  thoughts  and  the  certainty  of  death  that   has  been  rooted  in  every  man  since  childhood.  

       

The measure of your own being   Try  to  hold  the  largest  thought  you  can  have.    For  how  long  can  you  hold  it?    This  is  the  measure  of   your  own  being,  of  your  inner  responsibility,  and  externally,  of  your  financial  destiny.    

This is economics

If  you  were  to  find  an  object…  even  if  it  were  a  jewel  studded  with  diamonds…  your  first  thought   should  be  to  give  it  back,  to  deliver  it…  immediately!   That  object  is  there  to  measure  you…  it  is  a  measuring  stick  of  your  life,  of  your  worth.    It  buys  you   and  it  sells  you….  Only  a  dishonest  person  or  someone  who  is  about  to  become  a  dishonest  person   can  find  an  object…  A  man  destined  to  become  rich  doesn’t  find  anything  by  chance…  He  builds  his   wealth.  This  is  economics.   If  you  find  an  object  don’t  even  think  about  making  it  yours  because  that  object  would  destroy   you…  one  lifetime  wouldn’t  be  enough  to  pay  for  it.  Only  those  who  are  balanced  between   honesty  and  delinquency  can  find  an  object…  think  it  over  a  couple  of  times…  weigh  up  its  worth…   it’s  already  too  much…  To  find  an  object,  money,  is  a  trick  to  test  you…  because  you  don’t  know   yourself…  That  object  could  tempt  you…  buy  you…  Even  just  thinking  about  making  it  yours  would   make  you  fall  into  an  area  of  crime  where  you  would  be  stuck  for  decades.   Harvard,  M.I.T.,  they  don’t  know  that  this  is  economics.   Those  who  that  are  meant  to  be  rich  become  so  through  their  own  efforts…  Even  just  buying  a   lottery  ticket..  or  betting  money  just  once  at  a  gambling  table…  means  showing  signs  of   impotence,  of  distrust  of  yourself…  it  means  excluding  yourself  from  health,  from  prosperity,  from   power…from  happiness.  It  puts  you  out  of  the  game…  You  have  already  lost!...  You  have  traded   the  immense  power  to  do  things  using  your  own  strength  with  the  false  hope  of  winning…  This   makes  you  enter  into  an  inferno  of  addiction,  of  fear,  of  poverty…  into  a  area  of  crime,  of   unhappiness,  of  shame…  Observe  them  well…  The  players  are  all  irresponsible,  addicts…  A   gambler  is  an  employee  who  doesn’t  have  the  strength  to  support  wealth…  He  cannot  deserve  to   become  rich.  Everything  always  goes  against  him…  Placing  a  bet  is  the  exposure  of  your   incapability  to  be  generous…  to  be  responsible…  to  love.  This  is  economics.   Never  forget  :    whoever  finds  a  precious  object  is  dishonest…  that  object  that  you  think  you  found   by  chance  is  there  to  buy  you.  It  is  saying:  I  will  buy  you…  I  will  reveal  your  true  nature,  that  which   you  don’t  know  about  yourself:  that  you  are  a  criminal…  that  you  aren’t  ready  to  become   responsible,  independent,  financially  rich…  So  be  careful…   A  person  who  believes  in  themselves,  in  their  capabilities,  never  finds  anything...  even  finding  it   means  that  you  are  corruptible…  it  means  you  are  an  irresponsible  person  who  clings  on  to   others…  whoever  finds  it  is  already  a  thief…  Even  only  thinking  about  keeping  it  opens  a  wound   that  will  continue  to  bleed  and  will  take  years  to  heal…  No  one  can  tell  you  this.   Whoever  applies  these  principles  to  his  own  life  creates  wealth  and  prosperity…without  limits.  

You, like billions of people  

The  inner  realization  that  everything  comes  from  within  and  has  to  have  your  own  consent  to   manifest,  makes  all  the  events  and  circumstances  happen  only  for  your  advantage  and  growth.  On   the  contrary,  if  you  believe  that  your  world  is  an  entity  living  outside  yourself,  you,  like  billions  of   people,  in  eons  of  time,  have  to  go  through  all  troubles  and  difficulties,  aging  and  disease,  to  one   day  understand  that  you  are  the  very  one  who  emanates  this  world  you  believe  to  be  external.     The  Dreamer      

 

                At the mercy of lesser Gods  

For  thousands  of  years  you’ve  lived  at  the  mercy  of  lesser  Gods  –  be  it  through  the  voice  of     prophets  or  that  of  ideologists,  be  it  through  that  of  scientists,  technocrats,  statesman  or   politicians.  Yet  nothing  has  changed.    For  you  the  world  remains  hopelessly  conflictual,  violent  and   mortal.    All  attempts  to  evade  through  external  devices  like  music,  art,  poetry,  politics,  and   sciences,  have  been  vain.    Another  Power,  then,  is  needed,  that’s  been  buried  all  along  in  the  most   hidden  recesses  of  your  being,  able  to  defy  the  law  of  gravity,  and  challenge  the  laws  of  sickness,   ageing,  and  death  –  able  to  contain  and  govern  the  wondrous  unpredictability  of  life.  “Real  life  is   not  somewhere  else,  in  some  distant  ethereal  beyond,  but  down  here,  in  this  very  body  which  dies   not  for  consumption,  but  for  absence  of  light.”      

   

Away from home

  “Our  identification  makes  the  unreal  real.”     “There  outside,  what  you  call  reality  is  harmless,  inexistent…   Protect   yourself   from   yourself…you   are   the   real   threat   to   yourself.   The   real   enemy   is   inside   you…the   fight   is   only   with   yourself.   One   day   you’ll   discover   that   even   this   fight   is   an   illusion,   a   comedy  that  you  yourself  have  put  on.  Now,  with  this  intelligence  even  the  evils  of  the  world  will  be   resolved.   Just   a   little   self-­‐attention   would   be   enough.   But   we’re   always   away   from   home.   When   we   come   home  we  find  it  devastated,  empty,  and  blame  the  ghosts.   When  you  turn  towards  yourself,  when  you  begin  to  give  attention  to  you  being,  the  pain  comes  to   the  surface  and  becomes  even  more  intense.  But  this  is  good.   It’s  the  sign  of  an  internal  work,  a  fight  against  time,  against  unreality,  the  description  of  time.    The   imagination   of   the   future   and   the   memory   of   the   past   is   unreal   -­‐   something   inexistent   that   nevertheless  governs  your  life  and  is  at  the  origin  of  all  your  troubles.   Whatever   your   state   of   being   is   in   this   moment,   this   is   your   past   and   your   future,   always   and   forever.   The   smallest   change   in   your   being   projects   another   world,   another   story   and   another   destiny.  This  is  the  greatest  freedom  to  which  you  could  aspire.   Everyone  says  ’yes’  to  a  new  octave  in  his  life,  to  reach  a  higher  state  of  being…  But  as  soon  as  the   opportunity  to  enter  into  this  world  presents  itself,  you  take  steps  backwards.  Because  it’s  not  true   that  you  want  to  change.  Mediocrity  has  become  your  house  –  it  protects  you,  makes  you  feel  safe.   If  you  listen  to  yourself,  if  you  record  what  you  feel,  what  seems  to  be  happening  inside  of  you  in   just   this   moment   is   instead   what   happens   throughout   the   whole   day,   every   day   of   your   existence…Identified   as   you   are   with   the   world,   with   superficiality   and   all   that   keeps   you   strenuously   occupied   every   day…you   can’t   realize   that   these   states   of   being   that   you   rarely   are   able   to   see   within   yourself     govern   your   life.     They   darken   you   and   curve   you   through   thousands   of   deaths  every  day  until  bringing  you  to  physical  death.  Why  should  you  ‘stop’?  To  bring  out  all  the   pain   in   the   world.   This   is   doing.   You   go   around   believing   you   are   ‘doing’   (   doing   something)   You   study  or  go  to  school,  work  on  the  computer,  travel,  hold  conferences,  but  you  are  sleepwalkers  like   thousands  of  others…shadows.   The  Dreamer  has  given  you  roles,  has  built  a  School,  but  not  to  give  you  an  alibi  to  hide  yourself,  to   return  into  your  infernos,  in  your  ghettos…   Looking   inside   oneself   is   painful…You’d   like   to   stay   next   to   me,   enjoy   the   victories   and   healing   and   live  with  one  foot  in  and  one  foot  out.   If   you   could   ‘stop’   more   often   and   realize   in   the   flesh,   in   your   bodies   that   the   world   is   a   projection,   something  laughable,  chaotic,  disorderly,  you’d  dedicate  your  every  breath  to  coming  out.     This  disorder,  appears  to  you  as  life…  being  tossed  around  by  the  world  makes  you  feel  busy  and   useful.   But  ask  yourself:  how  can  something  that  is  virtual  and  inexistent  give  you  security,  offer  you  a  job,   make  you  happy,  give  you  life?   Something  is  crying  inside  you  and  you  don’t  listen...  the  external  roles  keep  you  busy,  satisfy  you,   but  that’s  not  life…you  can  go  ahead  for  another  hundred  years…     Before  he  can  break  out  of  the  prison  of  his  roles,     a  man  must  feel  disappointment  for  the  sterile  repetitiveness  

of  the  events  and  circumstances  of  his  own  life.   There’s   not   one   of   you   who   gets   up   in   the   morning   and   sees   this   slime   that   pollutes   you   and   governs  it  inside…and  missing  this  work,  I  know  you  go  into  the  world  and  loose  yourselves  in  the   shadows…Forget…Because   you   can   only   remember   what   is   at   your   level…the   vertical   memory   that   Dreamer  is  talking  about  is  another  thing  entirely.   The  fact  is  that  there  is  not  an  inner  reality  and  an  outer  one-­‐-­‐-­‐there  is  only  one  reality.  You  go  into   the   world   and   beg   for   a   job,   some   satisfaction,   some   sex…..you   are   without   dignity   -­‐   the   dignity   of   a   warrior   that   doesn’t   lower   himself   in   front   of   anyone   and   does   not   want   anyone   to   lower   themselves  in  front  of  him.    But  you  don’t  know  what  I’m  talking  about.  You  are  shadows  and  want   to   remain   that   way.   Something   tells   me:   Leave   them   to   themselves…if   they   want   to   get   lost…let   them.   There  is  an  involuntary  will  that  pushes  every  man  to  stay  in  that  inferno.     There  is  no  external  reality.  The  world  takes  orders  from  ‘here’.  Dissolving  roles,  abandoning  this   hypnotic  dependence  on  the  world,  everything  would  take  on  significance…Wealth,  prosperity,  and   order  would  belong  to  you,  unfailingly,  effortlessly.  Your  body  would  create  and  emit  freedom.   But  you  want  things  to  remain  as  they  are  and  I  can’t  allow  it.  I  can’t  stop  and  wait  for  you,  not   anymore.  “Here”,  will  remain  only  who  has  the  strength  to  follow  me,  to  run.”       From  ‘Conversations  with  the  Dreamer’        

 

     

       

 

The games of life  

The  Dreamer  uses  the  games  of  life  to  allow  you  to  return  to  your  inner   aliveness  and  integrity.  He  uses  religions,  politics,  educational  systems,   communication  and  media,  and  all  kinds  of  business,  relationships  and   affairs  as  a  mirror  and  reflection  of  yourself,  so  that  you  can  remember  the   very  source  of  all  and  everything.  The  Dreamer  uses  also  all  human  crimes   and  natural  disasters  and  whatever  you  mistakenly  believe  to  be  coming  from  the   outer  world  as  a  School  of  Being,  and  this  for  the  sole  purpose  of  awakening   you  to  a  new  truth,  to  a  new  life.       The  Dreamer  

No war within, no war without

 

Q.  As  you  know,  throughout  the  world  there  are  factories  of  armaments  which  are  being  produced   and  stored  to  cause  damage  or  even  destroy  humanity,  how  can  we  counteract  or  protect   ourselves  from  such  a  destructive  power?       A.  By  taking  yourself  out  from  under  the  influence  of  every  form  of  hypnotism,  dependency,   superstition  or  identification  with  the  world  outside.       “Do  not  lean  on  anybody's  knowledge,  fantasy  or  prophecy.  Know  that  there  is  no  power  'out  there'   that  can  destroy  you.  'Out  there'  nothing  can  happen  without  your  consent,  inner  approval  or   intent.  Be  vigilant!  Cast  off  all  your  ignorance  and  darkness.  It  is  your  vision  that  needs  adjustment   and  not  humanity.  If  you  integrate  yourself,  if  you  become    a  unity,  then  the  world  is  safe.  In  the   world  of  duality  everything  is  perfectly  balanced  —  a  period  of  obscurity  and  destruction  inevitably   alternates  with  a  period  of  creativity  and  constructiveness,  but  only  as  a  mirror  of  your  inner   states.  So  don'  t  worry  about  the  world,  worry  only  about  yourself  -­‐  this  is  the  only  way  you  can   help.  The  world  of  events  and  circumstances  is  totally  depending  upon  you.  The  conditions  of  the   world  correspond  exactly  to  your  inner  states.  Remember!  Nobody  and  nothing  can  do  anything  if   it  is  not  commanded  and  directed  by  your  own  Dream.  No  war  within,  no  war  without  -­‐  this  is  the   Law.”   The  Dreamer      

 

Commitment and identification

You  can  survive  only  if  you  act  impeccably  the  role  the  circumstances  require.   “When  you  stop  acting  you  are  dead.”   Acting  intentionally  is  more  real  than  the  reality  they  taught  you  to  believe.   The  belief  of  an  ordinary  man  is  total  identification.    It  doesn’t  matter  if  you  identify  with  an  object   or  with  God.    Identification  is  always  death.    A  man  of  integrity  acts  his  roles  intentionally  and   impeccably,  that  means  believing  without  believing.   Only  a  man  free  from  identification  can  stay  alive  in  a  world  that  demands  his  total  involvement.   Act  your  role  in  life  as  a  great  actor  does  on  the  stage…always.   Believe  without  believing!     Q.    Can  you  explain  the  difference  between  commitment  and  identification?   A.    You  can  be  committed  without  identifying.    This  is  the  way  of  a  man  of  integrity.    You  can  be   identified  without  commitment  and  this  is  the  way  of  most  people  on  earth.    Commitment  is  a   vertical  way,  a  new  life  which  transcends  itself  endlessly.   Identification  is  a  vicious  circle  in  which  you  get  lost  and  die.    Identification  is  a  mere  reaction  to   something  you  believe  has  already  happened.   Commitment  is  the  creative  power  that  projects  what  is  going  to  happen.   Identification  is  a  self-­‐created  prison.   Commitment  is  freedom.        

            Business and self-knowledge  

Q.  What  does  business  have  to  do  with  self-­‐knowledge?     A.  At  the  time  of  a  great  financial  crisis  many  bankers,  businessmen  and  stockbrokers  ‘crash’  also   because  they  totally  identify  with  the  failing  economy.   In  what  should  be  a  marvelous  game  of  creativity  and  intuition,  they  instead  are  hypnotized  to  the   point  that  they  no  longer  realize  to  be  the  players  and  not  the  pawns,  the  observers  and  not  the   observed,  the  dreamers  and  not  the  dreamed.  They  depend  upon  external  conditions  to  plan  their   strategies,  and  rely  upon  budgets,  reports  and  financial  forecasts  to  unconsciously  build  nothing   more  than  a  house  of  cards.   But  what  happens  then,  when  the  slightest  tremor  comes  unexpectedly  razing  it  all  to  the  ground?   Self-­‐knowledge  means  freedom  from  any  conditioning  or  identification  with  the  world  around.   Self-­‐knowledge  puts  harmony,  order  and  justice  in  every  atom  of  your  inner  world.    Its  power   spreads  out  in  all  directions  creating  a  new  history  and  a  new  destiny,  a  new  past  and  a  new   future,  a  new  life  and  a  new  man.  Self-­‐knowledge  is  the  very  basis  for  success  in  any  field  of  life.     A  man  who  really  knows  himself,  free  from  any  external  conditioning  reveals  his  inner  integrity   and  projects  the  unfailing  world  of  his  Dream.      

                   

Self-Government     Self-­‐government  is  the  only  way  to  govern  the  world.  Self-­‐government  is  the  real  government.  The   power  of  will,  once  unburied  from  the  most  hidden  recesses  of  your  being,  projects  a  place  where   there  are  no  divisions,  no  boundaries,  no  conflicts  between  yourself  and  the  others.  Where   suffering  is,  your  inner  blindness  is  its  very  cause,  and  where  conflict  is,  your  misery  is  its  very  root.   Your  healing  is  their  healing  and  your  inner  victory,  the  salvation  of  the  entire  world.    

   

The world is such because you are such

When  you  understand  that  you  are  the  cause  of  everything,  such  a  deep  sense  of  loneliness  comes   and  grips  the  soul.  You  are  alone,  facing  the  abyss  of  yourself  and  the  sense  of  responsibility  that   weighs  on  your  shoulders.  Yet,  in  a  moment  of  sincerity  you  begin  to  see  the  outside  world  as   something  that  is  profoundly  part  of  yourself,  that  reflects  and  amplifies  the  vision  of  all  your   states  of  Being.   You  are  used  to  moving  in  the  world  in  search  of  experiences,  with  the  clear  conviction  that  it  is   your  hunting  ground.  When  you  meet  others,  when  you  go  to  work  or  to  school,  when  you  amuse   yourself  in  whatever  way  pleases  you,  you  never  look  at  the  world  as  your  reflection  distorted  by   time  but  with,  the  conviction  that  there  is  something  to  take  from  the  outside  world  –  a  conviction   that  has  cost  you  your  integrity,  and  even  your  freedom.   As  you  read  you  may  seem  to  understand  everything,  but  it  is  only  a  fleeting  moment.  It  passes,   and  when  you  return  to  the  reality  that  belongs  to  you,  you  can  do  nothing  but  forget  that   moment  and  continue  to  nurture  your  reality  as  it  is,  recreating  it  with  every  breath  you  take.  The   truth  is  that  the  world  is  such  because  you  are  such.   You  mark  the  passage  of  time  in  hours,  months  and  years,  and  this  is  the  first  step  of  your  journey   through  the  forest  of  identification.  At  the  hour  of  reckoning  you  realise  that  something  doesn't   add  up  -­‐  that  time  has  tricked  you.     You  are  here  because  you  are  in  pain.    Wake  up!    Know  yourself!    Be  yourself!    The  end  of  pain  lies   not  in  pleasure.    Remember!    You  are  beyond  pain  and  pleasure,  aloof  and  unassailable,  beyond   the  pursuit  of  happiness  and  the  resultant  sorrow.    In  the  ultimate  state  there  can  be  neither   happiness  nor  sorrow,  but  only  freedom.   This  is  why  you  are  what  you  are  –  because  you  keep  falling  into  this  forgetfulness,  and  the  world   is  the  faithful  mirror  of  this  amnesia.    You  shrink  and  drown  in  the  lake  of  your  own  tears,  you  give   in  to  the  call  of  self-­‐pity  until  you  are  small  as  an  insect,  lost  with  the  other  millions  of  insects.   You  transform  yourself  into  a  pawn  in  a  game  that  you  have  invented,  you  are  like  a  robot.  Your   desire  to  lose  yourself  in  things  is  so  strong  that  you  manage  to  design  a  system  of  government   that  can  actually  enslave  you.     Q.  When  you  say  that  the  world  outside  is  only  'apparent,'  do  you  mean  that  there  is  nothing  like   pain,  suffering  and  war  -­‐  that  this  is  a  lovely  world?  When  they  take  away  your  job  or  you  are  full   of  misery  and  have  no  food  for  your  family  or  when  your  son  dies  in  an  absurd  war,  you  say  that   this  is  not  real?  

A.  Yes,  this  is  only  an  imaginative  ideological  concept  that  you  believe  to  be  true  —  just  a  world  of   theories,  a  mere  description  of  reality  and  not  reality  itself.  Violence,  fear,  loneliness,  pain,  war,   birth  and  death  are  just  concepts  generated  by  your  memory  and  imagination,  which  are  in  their   turn  mere  shadows  and  not  facts.   Q.  What  are  the  facts?   A.  What  you  yourself  are  in  this  precise  instant  is  a  fact.  You  yourself  free  of  all  fears  is  a  fact.  You   yourself  free  of  that  bundle  of  lies  which  constitutes  history,  tradition,  knowledge,  religion,   culture,  and  experience,  is  a  fact.   The  timeless  you  is  a  fact.  And  all  that  which  apparently  exists  in  time  and  which  you  believe  to  be   external,  will  reduce  you  to  dullness  and  impotence.  Remember!  Only  what  has  been  'done'  inside   is  real  and  can  be  permanent,  the  rest  is  just  a  short  film  disintegrating  as  it  is  made.   The  laws  of  life  reflect  more  subtle  and  invisible  laws,  and  in  reality  it  is  a  game  to  be  played  if  you   are  aware  of  it  -­‐  otherwise  you  are  your  own  victim.     Every  time  you  meet  with  conflicts,    disputes  or  an  accident,    is  a  signal  that  you  have  to  return  to   yourself,  remember  that  you  are  projecting  that  event  which  is  the  materialisation  of  your  own   internal  conflict.   If  you  find  yourself  in  war,  you  must  have  secretly  cradled  it  in  your  bosom.  Yet  this  is  the  real   knot,  this  is  what  you  do  not  want  to  admit  to  and  this  is  what  troubles  you  –  acceptance  of  the   fact  that  what  surrounds  you  is  really  what  you  want.    You  have  it  because  you  love  it!   How  is  it  possible  to  dream  of  a  companion  who  makes  you  suffer,  or  a  family  conflict  or  even   sibling  rivalry?  And  above  all,  how  can  you  accept  that  you  are  both  the  producer  and  director  of   this  horror  movie  that  you  call  life?     Christianity  has  gold-­‐plated  Jesus'  words,  promising  an  imaginary  paradise  to  come  to  ‘the  good’   and  eternal  punishment  for  the  so-­‐called  sinners,  and  earthly  life  is  described  as  the  wrong  side  of   an  embroidery  whose  beauty  can  only  be  admired  once  we  are  gone..  Cradled  by  these  words  you   unconsciously  condemn  yourself  to  a  preordained  destiny,  you  are  in  a  valley  of  tears  in  which   suffering  is  right  –  indeed,  the  more  you  suffer,  the  greater  will  be  your  reward.       But  you’ve  forgotten  about  the  Individual  Revolution!   The  strength  of  the  message  that  the  Dreamer  has  revealed  is  in  this:  If  you  really  want  to  make  a   paradise  on  earth  and  a  masterpiece  of  your  life,  there  is  no  other  way.  Now,  immediately,  take   responsibility  for  every  event  that  happens.   This  'mea  culpa'  is  the    power  to  emerge  from  those  events.  It  is  the  simultaneous  remembrance   of  your  ability  to  dream,  and  it  is  the  possibility  to  dream  thousands  of  different  dreams.  

 

 

   

  The difference between the inner and outer journey

Q.  What  is  the  difference  between  the  intrepid,  adventurous  inner  journey  and  the  empirical,   scientific  outer  journey?   A.  None.  You  see  the  difference  only  because  you  are  a  child  of  time.  The  inner  journey  is  through   timelessness  which  is  in  its  turn  the  creator  of  anything  existing  in  time.       The  Dreamer    

 

  The Parenthesis of Life   “Every  one  of  you  believes  that  his  life  holds  a  ‘future’  full  of  events  and  circumstances  that  will,  ‘in   time’  unfold.    You  are  convinced  that  these  circumstances  will  surround  and  contain  you,  and  that     they  are  ‘out  there’  waiting  for  you…events  that  we  will  either  resolve  or  that  will  absorb  you.    You   are  trained  to  be  projected  in  time  –  not  to  live  the  moment.   No  country,  no  school  tells  man  to  the  live  in  the  absence  of  time,    because  he  thinks  he  is  a  time   body.  That  he  ‘is’  this  parenthesis  he  calls  life  –  a  body  that  has  a  beginning  and  an  end,  and  that   he  is  captured  between  an  imaginary  birth  and  death.    No  one  sees  this  moment  as  the  only  one   there  is.   And  so  you  lose  the  moment  because  you  have  no  discipline  to  adopt    -­‐  no  training  that  brings  you   back  to  real  time  -­‐  the  only  time  -­‐  so  it’s  such  a  painful  effort  every  evening  to  just  stop  even  for  a   few  minutes  to  be  in  the  absence  of  time.    If  there  is  not  a  state  of  disappointment  you  will  never   seek  out  these  moments  for  yourself.    You  will  live  your  life  in  the  clutches  of  time  –  strangled  by   this  time  body  you  now  inhabit  as  if  it  were  all  you  had,  and  you’ll  look  back  over  your  life  as  if   nothing  has  happened.      In  reality  –  nothing  has  happened!    You’ll  find  yourself  looking  at  all  your   photos,  and  telling  stories  in  hopes  to  feel  you’ve  constructed  something  for  yourself  when  behind   your  mask  of  time  there  is  nothing.    Nothing  has  changed  and  nothing  remains.   You’ll  look  back  over  those  images  and  feel  it  was  all  unreal.  The  people  who  were  seeing  you   merely  projected  themselves  on    you,  but  you  were  not  that  character.    You  can  feel  this,  but  you   have  no  idea  of  what  you  really  are  just  the  same.    You  feel  the  falsity,  but  have  never  stopped  long   enough  inside  yourself  to  touch  the  ‘truth’  -­‐  your  real  essence.   It  is  your  time  body  that  the  world  sees,  and  this  is  a  line  that  curves  upon  itself  endlessly  becoming   harder  and  harder  to  escape  every  time  as  the  tracks  are  inscribed  over  and  over  again,  deeper  and   deeper.    You  have  flashes  of  another  level  of  being  –  of  a  parallel  existence      -­‐  of  a  way  of  life  that   grows  like  a  tree  vertically  from  that  flat  plane  you  live  on  from  day  to  day  –  but  you  ignore  them   and  settle  for  living  in  the  shadows  day  in  and  day  out.   The  Dreamer  realized  that  in  the  world  of  events,  everything  repeats    itself  –  you  can  overcome  this   repetition  –  the  moment  tells  you  how    if  you  just  learn  to  listen  to  it!  You  can  leave  the  game  of   contrasts,  the  light  and  dark  of  known  and  unknown  -­‐    you  can  go  beyond  to  the  unconceivable.     It’s  at  hand.    It’s  called    it  ‘unconceivable’’  because  it  helps    conceive  something  that  can’t  be   explained.      The  ‘unknown’  is  an  easy  doorway.      Many  schools  believe  to  have  conquered  a   description  of  existence  and  offer  explanations  and  maps  to  the  ‘unknown’  as  if  it  were  the   beginning  and  the  end  of  all  –  but  this  is  not  everything.    What  is  known  is  past.    It’s  opposite  –   equally  false  and  imaginary  -­‐  is  the  future,  or  what  is  traditionally  called  the  ‘unknown’.    The’  tree’  

that  grows  from  this  is  the  unconceivable  –  the  vertical  shaft  that  is  the  only  way  for  man  to   ascend  .    It  is  the  surrender  to  living  this  very  moment,  the  razing  of  descriptions    with  a  breath  that   welcomes  and  makes  room  for  what  has  never  been  touched  in  oneself  –  this  is  the  unconceivable.       Every  man  has  a  horizontal  line  of  work  to  do,  but  it’s  all  useless  unless  there  is  this  ‘vertical’   movement.    Fear  is    only    ‘fear’  when  you  don’t  know  you  have  it  –become  aware  of  it  –  look  at  it   to  make  it  disappear!  The  awareness  of  this  deeply  worn  path  within  yourself  sets  you  free  from  it.     You  change  from  one  personality  to  another  –  it  seems  like  insanity  seen  from  the  outside,  but  it’s   the  only  way  to  survive  in  a  flat  world.    If  you  know  you  are  ‘acting’  the  role  of  someone  living  in  an   inferno  it’s  no  longer  hell  for  you.    You  can  wear  many  masks  –  it’s  a  beautiful  game  you  have   created  for  yourself.          How  can  you  get  bored?    You  damage  yourself  as  soon  as  you  distance  from  this  moment  –  from   this  perfume  of  your  own  very  essence.    How  can  you  exist  even  a  second  without  feeling  the   vibration  of  your  own  body?    This  never  changes  unless  by  your  own  neglect,  and  the  energy  that   vibrates  in  you  comes  not  from  your  body,  but  from  something  even  deeper.    It  is  the  very   movement  of  your  being  –  it’s  life  breath  that  you  perceive  in  shivers  through  your  body  like  ripples   on  the  surface  of  a  deep  sea.    Feel  the  perfection  of  your  body  –  when  you  are  aware  of  it,  it   becomes  even  more  perfect.    Don’t  waste  time.   Your  body  wants  to  narrate  a  story  it  finds  in  passing  thought  –  like  objects  fished  from  a  river    and     taken  as  one’s  own  like  a    man  who  feels  ‘hungry’  and    so  in  desperation  eats  his  own  tongue  to   satisfy  a  suggestion  his  mind  has  made  to  him  instead  of  waiting  for  dinner.    Your  body  ‘narrates   you’  with  stories  of  parents,  of  a  birth,  of  a  ‘life’  whose    descriptions  are  just  the  flagpoles  of  our   own  limits.    In  history  there  are  stories  of  great  men,  JFK,  Martin  Luther  King,  Lenin,  Plato,   Einstein..even  Buddah…  all    of  them  happen  in  a  time-­‐body  .  They  were  seen  as  rebels,  and  they  are   remembered  as  such  but  were  merely  men  who  felt  this  suffocation  of  their  own  descriptions  of   life.    You,  too,  should  be  a  rebel,  but    intentionally.    Guided  by  glimpses  of  light  .    You  can  escape   from  your  prison  only  if  you  move  in  a  vertical  direction  to  all  that  ‘happens’.  Escaping   mechanicalness  can  only  happen  in  this  moment,  in  the  absence  of  ignorance.    Only  in  this  moment   can  you  go  beyond  –  stop  losing,  stop  dying.    Terror  exists  only  in  and  of  itself  –  when  you  are  free   from  identification  everything  obeys  the  command  of  your    being.”     From  ‘The  Dreamer’s  Discourses’      

 

Observing your inner war

The  moment  you  observe  the  struggle  of  opposites  within,  your  fear  dies.  It  dies  just  as  a  seed  dies   and  gives  way  to  a  new  life.  Observing  your  inner  war  without  identifying  with  it,  awakens  you  to  a   higher  dimension,  eliminating  all  forms  of  conflict  and  injustice  in  the  world  of  events.            

 

What’s ‘fair’ and what’s ‘unfair’

An  entire  family  being  slaughtered  in  the  middle  of  the  night  without  any  reason.   Pulling  the  plug  on  a  dying  man  in  the  name  of  euthanasia.   A  dictator,  merciless  assassin,  responsible  for  the  death  of  thousands,  being  sentenced  to  death.   A  flood  wiping  away  entire  villages  and  thousands  of  Time  Magazine,  The  Chronicle,  60  Minutes,   Today,  Good  Morning  America,  Sole  24  ore,  the  New  York  Times,  World  News  Tonight:  all   instruments  of  time  and  communicators  of  death  that,  you  yourself  have  produced  for  your  own   entertainment  -­‐  an  amusing  comedy,  an  extraordinary  game  that  you  yourself  have  turned  into  a   concentration  camp  -­‐creating  history  to  delineate  a  territory  of  death,  and  marking  its  boundaries   with  your  memory  as  a  wild  animal  does  with  urine.       Apparently,  memory  gives  you  certainty  and  security,  but   like  all  that  which  has  a  beginning  and  an  end,  a  birth  and  a  death,     it  will  leave  you  sooner  or  later  in  the  middle  of  nowhere.     All  that  which  is  history,  all  that  which  is  time,  all  that  which  is   memory  has  never  happened  and  can  never  happen  except  in  your  imagination.   History  is  a  nightmare  that  you  impose  on  yourself  to  justify  your  lack  of  will  and  freedom,  and   perpetuate  your  own  limits,  fear,  forgetfulness  and  death.     History  is  an  addiction  you  would  never  know  how  to  live  without.     Q.  What  should  we  do  then?  Stop  reading  newspapers?  Stop  listening  to  broadcasts?  Or  what?   A.  Continue  to  read  and  listen  to  them  as  before,  but  conscious  of  the  fact  that  all  that  stuff  is  not   coming  from  the  world  outside  but  from  your  own  dark,  compromised  inner  being  trapped  like  a   spider  in  its  own  web.       Exercise  your  inner  Integrity  and  the  world  will  stop  being  conflictual.   Exercise  your  inner  prosperity  and  poverty  will  disappear  from  this  planet.   Exercise  your  Immortality  and  you  will  not  see  death  anymore.     Learn  to  discern.  Learn  how  to  believe  without  believing.   Learn  how  to  exorcise  your  self-­‐fulfilling  prophecy  of  disaster.   Learn  how  to  laugh  at  your  own  deadly  negative  imagination.   What's  'fair'  and  what's  'unfair'?   Remember!  Everything  under  the  jurisdiction  of  time  is  false.      

Win it before it happens!

Q.  Everywhere  around  me  things  are  falling  to  pieces.  How  can  I  overcome  all  this?   A.  Win  it  before  it  happens!  Winning  the  impossible  is  what  you'  re  called  to  do.   Q.  But  if  it'  s  already  happened?   A.  Nothing  can  ever  happen  before  Now.  Believing  to  have  lived  through  what'  s  'already'   happened  is  mere  imagination.  It'  s  a  lie.  What'  s  'already'  happened  can  only  happen  Now.  Things   are  not  falling  apart  everywhere  around  you,  but  only  within  you.  Your  'feeling'  of  things  falling  to   pieces  is  none  other  than  your  unconquered  fear  still  acting  within  you,  and  projecting  itself  into  an   imaginary  past.  Overcome  fear  and  winning  the  impossible  not  only  will  be  possible,  but  inevitable.   The  Dreamer  

“The  solution  comes  from  inside.   What  happens  ‘outside’  is  only  a  consequence.   ‘Win  it  before  it  happens,’  is  a  state  of  proactivity.    When  a  problem  arises  –  it  is  defeat  that  rears   its  head    –  as  a  warning  signal  of  a  fault  inside  –  a  crack  in  your  being.    Go  back  to  the  source,  and   there,  in  timelessness  the  problem  is  already  resolved.”   The  Dreamer  addressed  us  yet  another  time  on  what  was  one  of  the  most  contagious  phrases   He’d  coined  in  some  time  and  explained,  “  If  you  are  alive  inside  ,  everything    will  arrive  –  you  can’t   just  do  things  because  ‘everyone  does’!   “We  win  here  because  we  do  things  differently,”  He  said  placing  great  emphasis  on  both  ‘here’  and   ‘differently’  with  which  he  took  great  care  so  as  not  to  be  misconstrued.    This  ‘differently’  was  not  

a  horizontal  difference  between  two  similar  things,  but  a  vertical  difference  –  rising  from  the  order   of  things  existing  to  a  higher  plane.   “Victory  is  a  state  of  being,”  He  repeated….”Victory  is  a  state  of  being!    You  will  find  it  only  in   invisibility….in  the  timelessness  suspension  when  you  are  neither  described  nor  created    by   anything,  but  yourself.    When  you  are  the  creator!”   “Win  it  before  it  happens!”He  said  again.    “To  do  this,  you  must  pay  attention  to  yourself  in  every   moment  –  to  intervene  as  soon  as  you  feel  pain  inside  –  just  with  your  attention,  to  remain  in  the   state  of  victory.    When  you  face  someone  you  have  to  contain  them  –  feel  the  space  around  you,   and    that  pain  you  feel  can  no  longer  surround  and  limit  you.    How  can  you  be  defeated  be  your   own  creation?”   “The  Creator  lives  with  a  sense  of  dignity….When  the  Creator  arrives,  even  the  atoms  know  and   acknowledge  him  –  the  same  goes  for  when  you  are  afraid….”He  paused  to  let  us  catch  up  with   Him,  then  set  off  on  a  tangent.    “We  are  deceived  by  the  visible  world.    You  should  do  everything  there  is  to  do,  but  without   expecting  gratification  from  the  outside….because  even  if  it  comes  when  you  are  in  a  state  of   expectancy,  you  will  feel  vulnerable  and  afraid  of  losing  it  all.    It’s  terrible…Every  one  of  us  can   meet  with  his  own  reason  for  being  –  his  purpose.    Don’t  be  taken  in  by  the  others  –  don’t  be   hypnotized…”He  said  trailing  off  as  He  began  to  consider  the  argument  from  another  point  of   view.   “Being  famous  is  internal  –  it  is  a  state  of  being.    When  you  have  success  inside  you  don’t  want   anyone  to  know……  you  will  not  be  able  to  stay  alone…When  Jesus  lived  success  He  had  to  go  out   onto  the  water  to  escape  the  crowds.”   “Your  state  of  victory  spreads  out  at  360°.”   “Internet  isn’t  even  an  atom  of  what  we  have  inside  –    real  communication  is  inside”  He   emphasized,  “  and  occurs  within  you!    When  you  have  this  inner  communication  –  this  communion,   the  world  will  be  at  your  service!”   “Win  it  before  it  happens!”   “The  lowest  form  of  vanity  is  believing  to  believe.      You  have  to  ‘do’  everything  externally  without   believing  in  it.    The  more  violent  you  are  inside  –  the  more  you  occupy  the  lower  levels  in  the  world   of  opposites  –in  your  job,  the  role  you  play.  By  harmonizing  your  inner  conflicts  you  enter  into  a   state  of  permanent  victory  and  these  will  never  have  to  manifest  themselves  in  the  world  of   events.”   “Who  really  loves  does  not  work.    Eliminate  all  that  obstructs  this  creative  ‘idleness’  and  love   yourselves  inside  in  order  to  be  victorious….to  put  the  pieces  of  your  fragmented  being  together,  to   collect  yourself  and  live  a  moment  of  integrity  –  as  state  of  success.    You  have  to  create  and  enjoy  

these  moments  of  calm  and  solitude  and  stillness  otherwise  you  will  get  lost  (  resolving  one  conflict   after  another  in  the  outer  world  as  your  inner  fragmentation  manifests  itself).”   “Believing  merely  to  believe  –  blindly  following  something  outside  yourself-­‐  be  it  the  noblest  idea  or   most  base  desire  is  always  identification  –  and  as  such,  a  defeat.  (  Lose  it  before  it  Happens!)  How   can  your  own  projection  ‘elect’  you  –  and  how  can  you  desire  for  your  creation  to  create  you?    Rely   on  no  one!    When  you  think  about  this,  you  feel  a  sense  of  freedom  arriving…it  encroaches   uncontrollably,  and  where  before  there  was  an  absence  now  there  is  integrity…success.”   “Do  you  have  a  problem  outside?    Win  it  before  it  happens!”       “The  greatest  defeat  a  man  can  have  is  Having  without  Being.    You  must  live  and  experience  an   inner  success  before  conquering  it  outside,  otherwise  you  will  lose  it.    It  will  defeat  you.    ‘Win  it   before  it  happens,’  is  you  in  timelessness  building  a  future  free  of  obstacles  and  full  of  success.     Success  comes  from  within.    Integrity  is  a  permanent  state  of  victory.”     From  ‘The  Dreamer’s  Discourses’                                  

                      Technology and ignorance

The  more  technologically  advanced  you  are,  the  more  ignorant  you  become.    You  don’t  need   anything  outside  of  yourself.    You  already  have  everything.    Self  –  knowledge  is  the  only   knowledge  you  need.                  

 

                   

Learn to be Still

“‘Being’  is  not  a  fixed  commodity.    It  is  not  for  granted  …if  you  neglect  it  long  enough  you  will   surely  succeed  in  stifling  your  will  and  destroying  it  forever.      Your  will  is  the  ‘yolk’  of  being  –  the   elastic  substance  that  when  strengthened  is  able  to  stretch  and  enlarge  your  being    -­‐  your  very  self.         Attention  is  the  life  of  being  –  the  oxygen  for  its  fire.      Only  through  your  self-­‐observation  and  inner   attention  –the  third  force  -­‐  can  you  nurture  Being.       You’ve  spent  so  many  years  making  do  with  only  the  most  marginal  results.      Success  for  you  is  as   foreign  as  color  to  a  blind  man  –  or  pure  oxygen  to  a  sea  urchin.   You  consume  your  energy  in  useless  activities  …in  uneasiness...anxiety  and  negative  imagination   until  you  are  exhausted  and  therefore  can  justify  defeat  you  know  so  well.      You  think  that  if  you   succeed  in  avoiding  the  vibration  of  transformation  which  you  so  wrongly  call  discomfort  and  even   hunger,    that  you  have  accomplished  something,  when  in  fact  you’ve  only  succeeded  in  killing  your   body’s  own  life  impulse,  and  eliminating  your  only  chance.   Learn  to  be  still.    Seek  the  quiet  inside  -­‐  not  through  violence  and  by  force….but  through   comprehension.   Every  voice  within  you  cries  out  to  be  heard  –  calls  for  attention  –  your  ignorance  will  only   constrain  them  to  silence  –  but  their  needs  persist  regardless.    Real  quiet  and  inner  solitude  can   only  be  reached  by  consciously  facing  –  touching  every  part  inside.    Then  you  will  see  and   understand  that  nothing  is  accomplished  from  ‘outside’  -­‐  even  the  body  is  ‘outside’  and  cannot  be   ‘used  as  a  weapon’  against  your  being.      You  cannot  by  mold  it  through  the  application  of   disciplines  into  unfamiliar  forms  and  functions  without  hopelessly  ruining  both.    The  body  will   become  a  consumed  empty  shell,  and  the  being  –  not  any  more  needed  will  emaciate  from  a  seed   bursting  with  energy  to  a  mere  and  dreary  hull.   Ashes  to  ashes  and  dust  to  dust.    The  world  is  as  you  dream    it.  Your  being,  to  thrive  needs  the  life   breath  of  attention.”                 From  ‘The  Dreamer’s  Discourses’  

 

  A conquered powerful silence   “  A  ‘conquered’  powerful  silence  spreads  out  in  all  directions  and  transforms  our  trembling,   insignificant  life  in  the  most  beautiful,  intrepid  adventure.”   The  Dreamer   October  23,  2011   “This  moment  is  infinite  and  unrepeatable.   The  infinity  of  this  instant……in  the  moment  you  said    ‘this  instant’  hasn’t  time  already  passed?     No!  Time  is  a  concept.    This  moment  is  forever.   Tomorrow  there  is  something  important  to  face  –  you  have  to  bring  it  close  to  you  –  we  have  an   interpretation  of  reality  that  tells  us  everything  comes  from  ‘outside’  and  we  are  helpless  before   what  we  have  learned  to  call  ‘life’  –  that  it  is  merciless.    We  forget  that  life  is  nothing  more  than  a   mirror  image  of  our  being.    Our  every  movement  emanates  a  reflection  that  we  call  universe,   world,  ‘reality’,  and  not  recognizing  ourselves  as  the  source  of  this  projection,  we  think  it  has  its   own  life,    that  our  reality  is  made  up  of  a  series  of  events  we  can’t  control.    Life  is  a  battlefield  we   don’t  know  to  have  created  ourselves  and  we  are  our  very  own  unconscious  victims!    Bring  that  battle  close  to  you  and  without  desiring  to  win  or  change  anything  reflect  it  inside   yourself  and  look  at  what  your  thought  creates….    more  than  looking  at  it,  try  to  see  the  state  of   being  that  is  behind  it.    Recognize  yourself  in  that  reality  you  have  projected!   Let’s  see  if  there  is  a  complaining  –  a  state  of  defeat  that  projects  the  event,  because  what  will   happen  tomorrow  is  happening  now.      Visualize  the  event  as  its  been  told  to  you  -­‐  look  behind  it    -­‐   at  the  light  that  projects  this  event  –  see  it  reflected  in  your  being.      There  is  this  kind  of  pain  –   worry  –the  taste  is  always  the  same.    We  conceal  it  from  ourselves  not  willing  to  assume  the   responsibility.  It  is  the  anxiety  and  fear  we  try  so  hard  to  blame  others  for    -­‐    a  grimace  we  always   have  –  no  matter  what  you  call  it.    But  we  don’t  even  realize  it  –  that  bitter  taste  is  where  you  have   to  bring  your  attention.    Focus  there,  and  the  event  is  no  longer  clear  –  go  try  to  concentrate  on  the   state  of  being  –  what  remains?    Nothing!    You  are  free!       There  is  nothing  more  satisfying    than  to  possess  and  master  the  world….it  belongs  to  you  in  every   cell  –  in  this  moment.    Feel  the  victory.      No  one  can  contest  it  if  you  have  won  it  –  if  you  have   eliminated  doubt…you  have  the  ability  to  transform  this  doubt  into  certainty  –  to  self-­‐giving.    There   is  no  space  for  something  that  comes  from  outside  –  not  even  the  voice  you  are  hearing  now  is   external  –  Nothing  is  external.      You  think  in  this  room  there  are  many  people  –  each  with  his  own   story  –  NO!    No  one  here  is  by  himself  –  separate  –  No  one  here  now  could  voice  his  doubt…   Don’t  stop  dreaming!    It  is  there  you  will  find  uniqueness  and  certainty.    In  inner  silence  you  will   conquer  the  world!”    

       

The forgotten immortality-dream

The  belief  that  misery  and  suffering  are  necessary  to  experience  abundance,  joy  and  beauty  in  life,   is  a  devastating  self-­‐sabotage  common  to  all  men  who  have  forgotten  their  own  integrity.    They   need  such  a  contrast  to  still  imagine  and  experience  some  glimpses  of  their  lost    immortality-­‐ dream.   The  Dreamer    

 

The era of thought is ended   “The  era  of  thought  is  ended.    Man  has  lived  up  to  now  by  thought.    Thought  has  produced  an   extraordinary  world  of  science  and  technology  for  the  convenience  of  human  Beings  and  for  their   destruction  as  well.    It  is  thought  that  has  invented  religions,  commandments,  disciplines,   ideologies,  the  soul,  the  efforts  and  super  efforts,  the  teachers,  the  saviors,  and  the  gods.  Can  you   look  at  or  listen  to  something  without  having  the  description,  the  image  of  that  thing?  In  other   words,  can  you  observe  without  images?    If  you  don'  t  project  any  image  about  yourself,  what  are   you  looking  at,  then?    There  is  absolutely  nothing  to  see,  and  everyone  is  scared  of  that,  that  is,   afraid  of  being  absolutely  nothing  -­‐that'  s  why  you  create  those  images  about  yourself  -­‐   sociological,  political,  psychological  images.    Real  freedom  is  freedom  from  all  images.    Thought  is   distortion,  interference,  because  it  comes  from  the  outside  and  so  belongs  to  the  past.    Through   thought  you  cannot  destroy  the  images  that  the  thought  has  created,  so  you  are  caught  in  a  vicious   circle.    Now  can  you  understand  what  can  substitute  thought  and  transfer  you  into  the  absence  of   thought  and  images  –  that  is,  inner  silence  -­‐  only  thoughtlessness!    You  can  enter  into   thoughtlessness  only  through  attention,  and  awareness,  and  that  is  not  the  result  of  practice,   which  is  again  thought.!“       ‘Thoughtless’  does  not  mean  one  who  exhibits  a  lack  of  consideration  for  the  others,  but  one  who,   with  great  effort  is  able  to  live  ‘above’  it    -­‐  separate  from  the  random  influences  of  the  world,   transient  emotions,  imagination  and  negativity.    Thoughtlessness  is  a  state  of  being  in  which  you   live  in  observation  of  your  thoughts,  free  from  identification…one  day  you’ll  see  that  everyone  talks   about  ‘thoughtfulness’  as  a  primitive  state  of  being  –  for  troglodytes  who  enjoy  being  lost  in   identification,  and  thought.  Who  identifies  reveals  himself  only  by  contrast.      You  have  to  transcend   the  game  of  opposites  –  there  are  new  games  to  play  .    You  have  to  enter  into  a  zone  where  there   is  no  antagonism.    Where  there  is  no  ‘yes’  and  ‘no’,  and  no  thought.    If  you  are  intelligent,  you   don’t  need  to  ‘think’  …the  mirror  does  not  think!”     From  ‘The  Dreamer’s  Discourses’      

                              When reality appears

The  body  and  the  world  are  reflection  of  your  own  dream.    The  dream  is  not  a  state  of  being,  it   contains   all   states   and   is   subordinate   to   nothing.     It   is   entirely   uncaused,   independent,   complete   in   itself,  beyond  time  and  space,  thought  and  matter.    When  all  names  and  forms  have  been  given  up,   and  all  searching  for  truth  and  perfection  stops,  reality  appears.     The  Dreamer    

 

Believing without believing

At   one   of   the   traffic   lights,   while   the   stale   red   seemed   endless,   I   glanced  out  the  window.  There,  on  the  side  of  a  bus,  just  at  eye  level,  I  saw   a  slogan  from  the  new    campaign  of  the  London  transport  authority:  “The   bad  news  is  that  God  is  dead.  The  good  news  is  that  you  don’t  need  Him.”   As  I   considered   its   meaning,   something   the   Dreamer   once   told   me   came   to   mind:  “The   desire   to   eliminate   God   by   those   who   call   themselves   atheists   is   their  attempt,  secret  even  to  themselves,  to  exorcise  their  fear  of  death.  A   fear  that  grips  and  torments  them  more  than  any  other.”  Thus  the  Dreamer   overturned   the   common   prejudice   that   views   the   atheist   as   a   person   of   strength,  one  who  refuses  to  lean  on  the  illusory  crutch  of  a  God,  unlike  the   rest   of   humanity.   He   was   affirming   that,   in   reality,   weakness   was   their   common  denominator  and  the  very  foundation  of    that  doctrine.              For   an   ordinary   man,   for   those   who   have   not   attained   an   interior  unity,  believing  and  not  believing  are  the  same  lie.  The  atheist  has   first  transferred  divinity  outside  himself,  and  then  denied  its  existence.            The   mortal   sin   of   atheism   therefore   is   not   disbelief   in   God,   denial  of  His  existence,  but  disbelief  in  oneself.                These   words   recalled   something   else   the   Dreamer   had   said   on  that  subject,  something  of  such  vastness  that  I  could  hardly  believe  that   I’d  forgotten  it  for  such  a  long  time.  I  couldn’t  visualize  where,  or  in  which   of  our  encounters  I  had  heard  those  words  from  Him,  but  they  were  deeply   carved  within  me  and  now  they    resurfaced  in  my  memory.    

       “To  believe  is  not  difficult…everyone  believes  in  something…  

           But  forcing  oneself  to  believe  is  for  the  few…,”  the  Dreamer   had   said,   expressing   a   concept   capable   of   thrusting   thought   to   heights   beyond   reason.   The   paradoxical   phrase   He’d   coined,   “Believing   without   Believing,”   concealed   a   cathedral’s   powerful   structure   beneath   butterfly’s   wings.                At  the  time  I  had  been  unable  to  absorb  the  greatness  of  this   message,  but  now  its  pitiless  light  was  showing  me  how  much  encomiastic   rhetoric  was  bound  up  with  belief,  and  how  perilously  close  it  came  to  the   root  of  all  fanaticism.  

           “Every  creed,  any  faith  you  choose  to  embrace  enlists  you  in   an  army  of  liars.  ‘Belief’  makes  you  a  follower  of  the  doctrine  of  lying.”                In   the   Dreamer’s   vision,   believing   induces   membership   to   the  masses  of  those  who  profess  faith,  the  multitude  of  persons  who  spend   their  lives  in  a  state  of  identification,  of  belonging,  that  sticks  them  to  the   flypaper  of  time.  Even  “disbelief”  in  God,  as  the  atheists  assert,  is  a  belief   that   equally   sinks   them   in   the   mare   magnum   of   fundamentalists,   dogmatists,  the  intolerant,  and  ideologues  of  every  persuasion.              The   Dreamer   had   never   wanted   to   meet   or   otherwise   have   any  contact  with  those  who  characterized  themselves  as  spiritual  persons   or  ‘seekers  of  truth.’  He  told  me  once,  “How  much  better  off  they’d  be,  and   what   greater   benefit   they’d   derive   if   they’d   stop   looking   for   the   truth   outside  and  find  the  lie  inside  themselves.”      

         Once   I’d   asked   the   Dreamer,   “   Why   do   you   refuse   very   often   to   meet   spiritual   seekers?”   He   answered   dryly,                                                                                     “Many   of   them   are   stuck   in   a   vicious   circle,   entrapped   in   an   unnecessary   struggle.   they   have   transferred   the   struggle   for   worldly   goods   to   the   struggle   for   heavenly   riches   but   nothing   is   changed   —   they   were   lying   before   and   they   are   still   lying   now.   Instead   of   enjoying   the   world   and   laughing,  they  grunt,  blame  and  complain.”              Not   in   opposition,   but   in   a   dimension   vertical   to   the   supine   flatness   of   belief,   there   is   “believing   without   believing,”   the   Dreamer’s   liberating   vision   of   enfranchising   the   individual,   setting   him   free   from   the   captivity  of  superstition  and  credulity.     There  is  no  fault,  no  sin,  no  karma  or  punishment.   There  is  no  life  beyond  and  no  universal  judgment,  no  heaven  and  no   hell.  There  is  only  this  instant,  sacred,  infinite,  and  omnipotent.   Use  it  well!  You  will  never  have  another  chance.    

       

 ‘Believing   without   believing’   means   to   choose   one’s   own   intention   and   follow   it   to   the   end,   unshakably.   It   is   a   high   state   of   being   that   demands  the  elimination  of  falsehood,  and  it  can  be  attained  only  by  men   of  integrity  who  know  and  practice  the  Art  of  Acting.   From  ‘The  School  for  Gods’  

 

            Something Unknown to Man

How  can  you  do  well  if  you  are  infected  and  governed  by  negative  emotions?   Real  work  is  based  on  the  transformations  of  this  emotions  in  something  that  is  completely   unknown  to  man.   New  sciences,  new  technologies,  and  new  religions  have  nothing  to  do  with  this  transformation.   What  we  call  the  new  humanity,  the  technological  age  and  the  apparent  new  discoveries  will  never   transform  an  atom  of  our  inner  consciousness.   A  man  who  recognizes  this  is  ready  to  escape  from  his  own  self-­‐created  prison.   The  gate  for  freedom  cannot  be  recognized  by  anybody  who  doesn’t  know  anything  about  the  Art   of  Dreaming.   The  way  to  escape  is  upwards.       The  Dreamer      

 

 

                Integrity as a permanent state     Q.  Can  you  tell  me  how  to  deal  with  negative  emotions?  And  how  to  get  rid  of  them?   A.  Give  attention  to  your  inner  states  whatever  they  are.    Through  earnestness  and  patience  you   will  discover  something  very  precious  and  very  powerful  that  hides  behind  their  apparent   unpleasantness.  Courageously  dive  deep  within  and  draw  closer  to  your  negative  states.  The  light   of  your  awareness  will  make  them  disappear,  and  allow  you  to  reach  the  summit  of  perfection  and   integrity  as  a  permanent  state.     From  ‘Conversations  with  The  Dreamer’  

  Permanent victory  

The  most  difficult  and  painful  moments  are  opportunities  to  penetrate  in  an  area  of  power.  When   you  feel  that  pain  inside,  don't  run  away  from  it...  stop!  There,  in  stillness,  is  where  you  need  to   stay.  Without  the  ability  to  grasp  these  opportunities  and  live  moments  of  suspension,  you  pass   existence   in   a   continual   state   of   identification;   it   degrades   and   in   time,   without   realizing   it,   you   find  yourself  repeating  the  life  of  your  parents  and  even  that  of  your  grandparents.   When  you  are  in  pain,  learn  to  not  touch  the  world,  to  not  even  brush  shoulders  with  it.    Stay  still.   Outside  you  would  find  the  only  thing  waiting  for  you  is  your  defeat.  The  world  is  your  creation.  In   its   language   made   of   events,   meetings   and   circumstances,   it   would   say   to   you:   you're   in   deep   trouble!   You  should  only  ever  win.  Victory  is  a  permanent  state  of  being.  To  eliminate  every  interruption  in   this   state,   it   must   be   continually   transcended…     Victory,   like   success,   has   no   opposite.   Ordinary   mankind  lives  in  a  world  of  opposites...  it  has  made  its  own  god  of  duality.  This  is  why  mankind   submits  to  the  “law  of  the  pendulum”  and  accepts  this  vision  as  completely  natural  –  that  a  victory   is   followed   by   a   defeat,   that   every   success   sooner   or   later   will   be   met   with   failure.   In   order   for   victory  and  success  to  be  continuous,  you  must  eliminate  every  form  of  conflict  from  inside.  The   world   is   you.   The   world   lives   everything   that   you   live.   The   Dreamer   has   brought   you   the   most   advanced  technology  for  living  a  life  without  opposites...  a  life  from  which  war  and  sickness  have   been   eliminated.   Impose   happiness,   integrity,   beauty   and   the   joy   of   living   upon   yourself.   This   is   the   secret   to   unceasing   happiness,   to   never-­‐ending   victory   and   success,   because   it   continually   transcends  itself.   But  you  are  divided  inside  and  your  thinking  is  conflictual,  and  because  of  this  you  do  not  know   how   to   live   in   a   world   without   opposites   and   antagonists.   Believing   that   the   world   is   a   separate   reality  from  you,  that  inside  and  outside  are  in  opposition  and  unrelated  to  each  other,  you  accept   pain,   unhappiness   and   defeat   as   your   natural   destiny.   This   is   why   you   do   not   know   stillness,   condemned   as   you   are   to   be   in   constant   movement,   permanently   agitated   by   the   disaster   you   carry  inside.   In   stillness,   which   is   the   real   root   of   every   action,   and   alone   with   yourself   you   can   finally   flush   out   that   pain   which   you   carry   inside.   That   pain,   not   recognized   and   not   circumscribed,   broods   in   a   rift   in   the   being   and   is   the   real   cause   of   all   your   failures.   On   the   surface,   everyone   wants   to   be   successful,  to  be  rich  and  happy.    The  truth  is  that  you  find  every  way  to  stop  this  from  happening.   The   roles   that   you   have   been   given   to   carry   out   are   there   to   be   acted.   The   law   for   a   happy   life   given  to  you  by  the  Dreamer  is:  “believe  without  believing”.  He  who  remembers  that  he  is  acting   cannot  lose  himself  in  everyday  activities,  nor  identify  with  a  world  that  is  his  own  projection.  He  

who   remembers,   who   maintains   this   double   focus   -­‐   one   arrow   pointing   outwards,   towards   the   world,  and  one  constantly  pointing  inwards,  towards  himself  -­‐  is  no  longer  subject  to  the  law  of   opposites.   Carry  these  principles  in  your  heart,  day  and  night.  When  you  win  the  antagonist  inside,  you  will   no  longer  have  to  meet  him  outside.  He  will  disappear  from  your  world  and  everything  will  lead  to   your  success.  You  will  know  only  victory.   Victory  is  the  natural  state  of  mankind.   If   you   are   here,   it   is   in   order   to   go   beyond,   to   do   incredible   things,   accomplishments   which   others   consider   impossible.   So   do   not   waste   time   doing   or   copying   that   which   has   already   been   done.   Search  for  the  thing  that  you  truly  love,  that  unique,  original  thing  for  which  you  were  born.   The  Dreamer  has  brought  you  a  new  technology.  It  is  possible  to  eliminate  war,  poverty,  old  age,   sickness  and  death.  You  can  do  it  in  this  very  instant.  To  do  it,  you  must  take  the  world  on  your   shoulders,   like   Atlas.   You   must   take   responsibility   for   making   all   suffering   disappear   from   the   world,  including  death.  When  you  know  that  you  are  the  origin  of  everything,  you  also  know  that   every  evil  eliminated  on  the  inside  also  disappears  from  the  outside.  Only  a  warrior  knows  that  the   world  is  his  reflection  and  he  can  intentionally  reach  such  a  state  of  innocence.   You  want  to  change  the  world?  Change  yourself.  Don't  waste  your  life  trying  to  change  the  world   from   the   outside.   Start   with   you.   Man   is   a   prisoner   in   a   self-­‐created   prison.   He   has   one   freedom   –   to  count  his  steps  inside  his  cell,  but  he  never  dreams  of  escaping  it.  Leaving  this  prison  would  be   more   painful   than   staying   in   captivity.   It   takes   courage   to   abandon   the   world’s   description     and   rebel  against  its  diabolical  project  of  ageing,  getting  sick  and  dying.   You  create  failure  and  defeat.  Confusion,  doubt,  fear  of  not  succeeding  –  and  you  live  these  things   inside,  even  if  you  don't  know  it.  Mankind  secretly  loves  suffering,  defeat,  and  even  poverty  and   sickness.  You  have  it,  because  you  love  it.   When  you  realize  that  it  is  your  ‘no’  attitude    that  creates  the  world  outside  you,  that  world  will  no   longer   have   power   over   you.   You   will   be   master   of   your   emotions,   and   life   will   become   a   paradise   on  earth.  When  you  have  eliminated  all  doubt,  right  down  to  the  last  atom,  and  filled  your  whole   being   with   a   sense   of   permanent   victory,   the   world   can   do   nothing   but   reflect   it.   This   state   of   completeness,  this  totality  of  Being  is  what  Christianity  calls  faith.  This  is  not  spirituality,  it's  the   Art  of  Doing.      

Questions and Answers

Changing  the  future   Q.    What  about  the  future?  Can  I  change  my  future  the  way  I'd  like  it  to  be?    A.  Yes,  you  can  easily  change  your  future  if  you  first  understand  that  your  future  is  not  in  the  future  at  all   but  right  Now,  under  your  nose.  Both  future  and  past  are  non-­‐existent.  They  live  only  in  your  imagination.   Whatever  comes  from  the  world  outside  is  a  reflection  of  this  precise  moment.  Look  at  yourself  and  you   will  know  what  is  going  to  happen.  Remember!  "The  slightest  change  in  your  being  moves  mountains  in  the   world  of  events."       The  trap  of  time   Q.  We  are  worried  about  tomorrow,  about  the  future,  the  uncertainty  of  the  future.  We  don'  t  know  how   to  deal  with  this  uncertainty.   A.  First  of  all,  ask  yourself  what  'time'  is  all  about,  the  meaning  of  time.  Time  is  a  trap,  a  self-­‐created  prison.   Time  is  generated  by  your  own  way  of  thinking.  So,  thought  breeds  fear,  and  fear  creates  all  that  which  you   are  afraid  of.  In  the  omnipotent  state  of  timelessness,  fear  disappears  and  with  it,  all  the  absurdities  and   limitations  of  this  world.       Only  you  can  save  the  world   Q.  How  is  it  that  a  humanity  that  can  think  about  the  complexities  of  sub-­‐atomic  space,  investigate  the   possible  origins  of  the  universe,  understand  the  processes  underlying  life  itself,  live  beneath  the  seas,  travel   at  supersonic  speed,  stand  on  the  moon,  and  create  anything  it  desires,  is  not  able  to  ensure  the  happiness   of  every  man  on  earth?   :  As  long  as  you  believe  that  the  root  of  all  problems  is  outside  and  not  within  you,  the  crises,  the  wars,  the   crime,  the  degradation  and  unhappiness  that  you  see  around  you  will  only  perpetuate  and  worsen.    The   world  is  as  it  is  because  you  are  as  you  are.  A  conflictual  world  with  all  its  misery  is  still  reflecting  your   narrow  vision  of  life.  Change  it!  And  reality  will  follow.  Remember!  You  yourself  are  the  only  one  who  can   save  this  world.         The  Dreamer          

Happiness  

Q.    How  do  we  ‘get’  happiness?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 A.    The  same  way  you  get  clarity,  love,  flexibility,  certainty,  confidence,  cheerfulness,  vitality,  and   prosperity.  You  just  decide  to  feel  it.  If  you  could  only  love  yourself  enough,  you  could  be  the  most   powerful  person  in  the  world.  Flexibility  is  for  example,  the  ability  to  change  instantly  your  approach.   Choosing  to  be  flexible  is  choosing  to  be  happy  at  will.  Confidence  is  a  muscle  that  you  have  to  exercise  all   the  time.  You’ll  be  amazed  at  the  dividends  it  reaps  in  every  area  of  your  life.    Cheerfulness  eliminates  fear,   anger,  frustration,  guilt,  discomfort  and  inadequacy  from  your  life,  makes  you  live  in  a  state  of  intelligence   and  pleasure,  and  can  meet  any  challenge  coming  your  way.     A  purpose  in  life  

Q.    Should  we  have  a  purpose  in  life  -­‐  a  goal  to  achieve,  like  'Integrity'  or  'beauty'  for  example?                                                                                                 A.    Purpose  implies  time,  movement,  change  and  a  sense  of  imperfection.    Would  you  say  that  a  flower  is   trying  to  be  beautiful?    It  is  beautiful  by  its  very  nature.    Bliss  is  the  essence  of  beauty.    Be  fully  aware  of   your  own  being  and  you  will  be  whole  and  beautiful  without  any  effort.     The  real  cause  of  suffering  

Q.    What  is  the  real  cause  of  suffering?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       A.    Your  identification  with  the  limited.    Your  addiction  to  thinking.    Your  identification  with  the  outer   events.    But  remember,  there  are  no  external  causes  to  your  suffering,  for  nothing  is  external.     The  ‘yes’  attitude  

Q.    What  does  yes  attitude  mean?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         A.  No  birth,  no  death.  No  beginning,  no  end.  No  history,  no  destiny.  No  time,  no  space.  No  guilt,  no  split,  no   limit.  No  past,  no  future.  No  memory,  no  expectation.  No  fear,  no  doubt,  no  worry.  No  pain,  no  claim.  No   name,  no  fame,  no  strain.  No  sin,  no  fault,  no  mean.  No  anger,  no  hatred,  no  regret.  No  hope,  no  help,  no   need.  No  planing,  no  complaining,  no  measuring.  No  self-­‐piety,  no  self-­‐justifying,  no  self-­‐victimizing,  no  self-­‐ sabotaging.  No  dependency,  no  addiction,  non-­‐identifying.  No  outer  knowledge,  no  culture,  no  training,  no   discipline.  No  politics,  no  nations,  no  religions,  no  cults,  no  occults,  no  idols,  no  Gods.            

This  world  is  for  you   Q.  What  is  the  reason  for  living  in  such  a  conflictual  world  so  full  of  evil  and  disease,  wars  and  misery?   A.  This  world  is  a  School  for  Gods.  It  would  take  thousands  of  years  to  achieve  what  can  be  accomplished  in   one  short  Lifespan.  This  world  is  of  a  tremendous  importance  for  you,  because  by  going  beyond  it,  you   realize  your  perfection.   Q.  When  did  it  begin?   A.  Now.   Q.  When  will  it  end?   A.  Now.     Don’t  lean  on  anybody’s  knowledge     Q.  As  you  know,  throughout  the  world  there  are  factories  of  armaments  which  are  being  produced  and   stored  to  cause  damage  or  even  destroy  humanity,  how  can  we  counteract  or  protect  ourselves  from  such   a  destructive  power?   A.  By  taking  yourself  out  from  under  the  influence  of  every  form  of  hypnotism,  dependency,  superstition  or   identification  with  the  world  outside.       Can  war  be  stopped?   Q.  Can  war  be  stopped?   A.  Yes.....the  moment  you  'stop  believing'  that  war  is  outside  yourself.       Nothing  to  save   Q.  Is  there  any  salvation  for  the  world?   A.  Which  world  do  you  want  to  save?  The  world  of  your  projections?  Of  your  own  nightmares?  Of  your  own   despair?  Get  rid  of  the  belief  that  people  need  your  help  and  see  whether  there  is  anything  left  to  save.      

The  most  important  thing  in  Life  

Q.    Which  is  the  most  important  thing  to  do  in  Life?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           A.    Dealing  with  your  inner  pain  and  be  permanently  in  touch  with  the  Now.       Freedom  from  desire     Freedom  means  essentially  freedom  from  desire  and  fear.  Do  not  pay  any  attention  to  your  desires  and   fears.  Let  them  come  and  go.  Even  ‘desire’  for  Truth,  one  day,  has  to  be  abandoned  to  make  further   progress  possible.   Q.  If  desires  disappear  then,  what  remains?   A.  All  that  which  can  never  change,  all  the  Truth,  goodness  and  beauty  of  this  world,  remains.  The  infinite,   almighty,  immeasurable  You,  remains.     Self-­‐knowledge  

Q.    What  is  the  use  of  Self-­‐knowledge?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         A.    It  helps  you  to  understand  what  you  are  not,  and  keeps  you  free  from  wrong  ideas,  false  desires  and   actions.    To  know  yourself  is  bliss...  to  forget  instead,  is  sorrow.  What  you  call  meditation  is  just  the   observation  of  the  true  and  the  false  in  yourself,  merging  finally  into  something  which  is  neither  true  nor   false.       The  fate  of  your  own  world   If  you  really  want  to  cleanse  the  world  of  all  crimes,  wars  and  violence,  you  have  to  get  rid  of  all  your  evil   psychic  dirt,  inner  conflicts  and  lies.  You  are  behind  the  fate  of  your  own  world  —  nothing  can  harm  or  save   it  without  your  consent.     Q.  But  how  can  i  get  rid  of  all  that  useless  stuff?     A.  Just  watch  it,  and  it  dissolves.        

  Life  stands  magnificent   Q.  You  said  that  birth  and  death  are  just  descriptions,  concepts,  false  beliefs,  and  that  Life  doesn't  come   from  our  parents  but  stands  Real,  Eternal,  Magnificent,  with  neither  beginning  nor  end.  I  have  witnessed   two  great  happenings  in  the  last  few  months  which  have  deeply  marked  my  Life:  the  birth  of  my  son  and   the  death  of  my  mother.  Do  you  think  I  was  just  imagining  all  that?     A.  What  you  have  witnessed  with  your  own  eyes  is  none  other  than  the  fairytale  of  your  own  birth  and   death  that  nobody  else,  but  you  yourself,  in  this  precise  instant,  are  producing  and  projecting  on  the   imaginary  picture  screen  that  you  call  'reality'.       Getting  rid  of  conditioning  

Q.    How  can  we  get  rid  of  our  conditionings?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   A.    Self-­‐awareness  is  the  way  to  be  free  of  all  conditionings.  When  you  are  conscious  of  the  fact  that  you   are  wholly  conditioned,  you  become  silent.    The  Arab,  for  example,  conscious  of  his  conditionings  would   stop  fighting  the  Israelis.    And  that  is  what  happens  to  anybody  who  starts  enquiring  into  himself,  he  gets   free  of  his  turmoil,  of  his  misery,  of  his  inner  war.    He  wins  inner  space.    He  lives  in  another  dimension   (state).       Act  your  role  

Q.    It  seems  to  me  that  I  am  living  two  different  lives  in  two  separate  worlds  that  fight  each  other  for   survival.    How  can  I  find  the  right  balance  between  the  'Work'  and  the  business  of  the  everyday  Life.                                                                           A.    Act  your  role  in  the  world  as  an  actor  does  on  the  stage.    There  is  nothing  wrong  with  play  and  nothing   wrong  with  the  role  you  act.    The  problem  arises  only  when  you  forget  to  act  and  identify  with  the  role   itself.       All  that  you  secretly  hide   Q.  What  is  the  necessity  of  an  external  world,  when  everything  comes  from  within?     A.  You  meet  in  Life  all  that  you  secretly  hide  to  yourself.  When  you  look  at  yourself  in  the  mirror  of  the   world,  you  see  what  you  have  to  get  rid  of  in  you    

          Only  good  news  exists   Q.  For  me  it’  s  impossible  to  accept  the  idea  that  only  good  news  exists.  What  about  if  a  young  person  very   dear  to  you  dies,  do  you  think  you  receive  it  and  react  to  it  as  the  arrival  of  good  news?   A.  You  have  to  understand  that  whatever  happens  outside  yourself  has  to  have  your  inner  approval  to   manifest.  This  means  that  anything  happening  in  your  own  Life  is  the  faithful  reflection  of  your  will  power   in  action.  If  you  unconsciously  love  complaining,  justifying,  accusing,  or  indulging  in  self-­‐pity  and  suffering,   that  very  dear  person  dies  to  make  you  realize  your  hidden,  mortal  vision  of  Life  as  the  very  cause  of  all   your  troubles.  Remember!  Anything  that  allows  you  to  understand  and  know  the  Truth  about  yourself,   even  if  unbearable,  is  always  good  news.       Power  over  time   Q.  Can  we  ever  manage  the  flow  of  time?   A.  No.  Time  flows  on  and  on  and  you,  slave  of  nature,  like  a  small  craft,  are  carried  away  by  the  great   current  of  Life.  You  can  never  manage  or  control  the  flow  of  time  or  the  economics  of  a  nation  or  other   people'  s  actions,  because  you  are  unable  to  deal  with  your  own  pain,  despair  and  misery,  and  find  it   impossible  to  focus  on  your  inner  Being,  the  only  place  where  you  can  have  a  large  measure  of  control  over   the  hypnotizing  forces  of  Life.       Lack  of  inner  creativity   Q.  You  say  that  the  world  is  perfect.  How  come  none  of  us  is  able  to  see  the  world  the  way  you  see  it.  Are   we  all  blind?     A.  What  you  see  reflects  perfectly  your  level  of  Being.  It'  s  your  inner  conflict  and  violence  —  the   identification  with  your  negative  emotions  that  makes  the  world  appear  to  be  'hell'.  In  your  Life,  violence   and  crime  has  become  a  substitute  for  inner  creativity.  Lack  of  creativity  is  also  expressed  through   environmental  pollution,  overeating,  over  population,  global  warming,  diseases  and  accidents,  poverty  and   war,  the  unfair  play  in  politics,  economics  and  justice.    

          Freedom  from  desire  and  fear   Q.  With  all  the  responsibilities  I  have,  how  can  I  ever  be  ‘free’?   Freedom  means  essentially  freedom  from  worry.   Do  not  indulge  or  identify  with  your  worries,  fears  or  desires.  Observe  and  let  them  come  and  go.  Even   desire  for  Truth,  one  day,  has  to  be  abandoned  to  make  further  progress  possible.   Q.  But,  we  are  worried  about  tomorrow,  about  the  future,  the  uncertainty  of  the  future.    We  don'  t  know   how  to  deal  with  this  uncertainty.   A.  First  of  all,  ask  yourself  what  'time'  is  all  about  -­‐  what  is  its  very  meaning.  Time  is  a  trap,  a  painful,  mortal,   self-­‐created  prison.  Time  is  a  crime  generated  by  your  own  way  of  thinking.  So,  thought  is  time,  and  time   breeds  fear,  and  fear  creates  all  that  which  you  are  afraid  of.  In  the  powerful  state  of  inner  awareness,  time   will  disappear  and  with  it,  all  the  absurdities,  illusions  and  contradictions  of  this  world.           Dreaming  and  desire  

Q.    May  I  ask  you  what  is  the  difference  between  dreaming  and  desire?                                                                                                                                                                                   A.    It  is  easier  to  tell  you  the  difference  in  terms  of  Being.  The  one  who  desires  is  identified  and  lives   unconsciously    guided  by  all  that  which  is  subject  to  the  forces  of  gravity  and  time-­‐memory,  mechanical   thought,  imagination...he  is  a  prisoner....  he  is  a  victim.  The  one  who  dreams  instead  is  guided  by  an  inner   pilot  who  has  all  things  aligned  in  'service'  to  his  one  aim.    His  total  integration...all  that  he  encounters  is   carefully  selected  by  his  dream  to  contribute  to  his  own  inner  evolution  and  nothing  else.    Desire  can  be   sensed  by  its  companion  anxiety...dream  by  its  own  comprehension  and  aspiration.    Dreaming  is  fueled  by   all-­‐embracing  Love...desire  grows  with  Fear.  To  know  the  difference  one  need  only  take  the  idea  object  or   image  within  himself  and  reflect  it  inside  against  the  candle  of  observation.        

    What  it  is  that  you  dream    

Q.    Imagine  yourself  experiencing  something  you  don'  t  like.  Is  it  possible  to  want  that  experience  to  stop?                                                       A.    That  experience  will  disappear  when  you  stop  'wanting  that  experience  to  disappear'.  Again  you  have   commanded  an  experience  of  want,  desire,  or  need  into  your  own  reality,  so  you  find  your  situation  either   continuing  unchanged,  or  worsening.  You  should  be  commanding  the  Universe  'what  it  is  that  you  dream,'   and  not  'what  it  is  that  you  want'.     All  that  I  am  right  now   Q.  You  say  that  Time  is  an  illusion  and  non-­‐existent.  Well,  we  would  like  to  ask  You  then,  what  is  going  to   happen  to  all  of  us  in  the  next  few  hours,  few  years  or  in  a  few  centuries  if  Time  is,  as  you  say,  a  fanciful   matter?     A.  The  answer  I  am  going  to  give  you  will  not  satisfy  your  expectation  but  one  day  you  will  understand.   There  is  no  difference  or  distance  between  one  second  and  one  million  of  light-­‐years.  They  are  all   contained  in  this  omnipotent,  everlasting  Instant.....  "ALL  THAT  I  AM  right  NOW"  is  not  only  happening  in   the  next  few  hours,  years  or  centuries  but  also  and  simultaneously  in  the  past  hours,  years  and  centuries.     The  Secret  of  all  secrets   Q.    How  am  I  to  be  rid  of  every  image,  description,  prejudice  or  concept,  so  that  my  vision  is  completely   free,  fresh  and  young,  so  that  I  can  project  a  new  world,  a  new  life??   A.    Believing  that  you  are  incapable  of  facing  the  complexity  of  life,  you  have  created  super-­‐images  like  the   soul,  the  self,  innumerable  gods  and  idols,  clubs,  entertainments,  reading  books,  the  government,  the   State,  and  never  to  find  out  how  to  stop  that  evil  mechanism  in  yourself  which  is  the  very  cause  of  all   conflicts  and  failure.    You  have  to  find  out  how  to  stop  all  the  descriptions  and  images  'instantly.'  You  have   to  find  out  what  pure  observation,  pure  seeing  is.    You  have  to  find  out  how  to  go  beyond  time,  which   means  how  to  get  rid  of  inner  dialogue,  criticism,  judging,  liking  or  disliking,  accusing,  condemning,  etc.   etc.?Self-­‐observation  makes  you  attentive,  vigilant,  and  in  that  attention  all  sense  of  the  past  and  future   disappears,  and  with  it  all  concepts,  images  and  descriptions  will  dissolve.    So  the  secret  of  all  secrets  is   absence  of  death,  which  is  'love'.    Love  is  not  a  concept.    It  is  not  pleasure.    It  is  not  desire.    It  is  not  memory   nor  imagination.    Love  is  the  amazing  awareness  of  this  very  instant.        

    Be  and  become!    

Be  and  become!  Be  and  you'  ll  become!    Be  a  King  and  the  Kingdom  will  come.  You  cannot  have  a  Kingdom   before  being  a  King.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Q.    What  is  the  difference  between  dream  and  desire?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               A  .    Just  an  eternity.    Dream  is  absence  of  Time,  and  desire  is  Time  itself.  Only  what  is  in  absence  of  time  can     realized,  and  that  means  'dreaming'.    Your  reality,  whatever  it  is,  is  such  because  you  are  dreaming  it  as  it   is,  and  your  desire  to  change  it  cannot  come  true  because  desire  acts  in  time.  To  be  a  King  means  to  be  in   absence  of  time,  that  is  fearless,  guiltless,  desireless,  whole.  To  be  a  King  you  have  to  love,  and  love  like   dream  cannot  be  in  time.  Love  cannot  be  planned,  organized  or  measured.    Real  love  can  only  happen  Now.   Remember!    You  cannot  dream  a  Kingdom,  you  can  only  desire  a  Kingdom,  that'  s  why  it  can  never  happen.   Be  right  Now  what  you  want  to  be,  and  do  not  desire!  If  you  are  whole,  in  this  precise  instant,  you  will   receive  much  more  than  you  might  ever  desire.         Money  is  an  inner  matter     Q.  You  say  that  love  and  financial  power  are  one  and  the  same  thing.  Don'  t  you  think  that  this  similitude  is   absurd,  paradoxical  or  even  profanatory?  How  can  the  financial  world  with  all  its  criminality  be  compared   to  a  world  as  pure  as  that  of  love?   A.  Money  like  love  is  an  inner  matter.  Money  is  a  state  of  Being.  Money-­‐affluence  manifests  in  time  what   you  have  conquered  through  inner  responsibility  and  creative  victory,  which  is  love.  In  the  same  way,  any   fault  in  your  Being  makes  you  weaker  and  poorer.  Any  crack  in  your  dream  shatters  the  foundations  of  your   financial  power.   Remember!  Love  means  absence  of  death  (a-­‐mors).....  and  in  absence  of  inner  death  you  are  an  unlimited,   omnipotent  Being.            

                  The  power  to  move  mountains     Everything  outside  is  but  an  imagined  diversification  of  your  inner  being.  All  the  events  and  experiences,   senses  and  emotions,  thoughts  and  images,  the  drama  of  opposites  -­‐  attraction  and  aversion,  war  and   peace,  sickness  and  health,  Life  and  death,  all  happens  in  you  yourself  as  the  Dreamer  and  creator  of  all  and   everything.   Q.  If  I  am  the  Dreamer  and  creator  of  this  world,  why  did  I  create  so  much  trouble  and  suffering  in  it?   A.  Look  upon  this  world  as  a  movie  and  you  will  know  why  you  create  it  as  it  is.  If  you  watch  a  movie,  you   like  to  see  in  it  a  series  of  actions,  adventures  and  dangers  rather  than  something  dull  or  boring.  And  this  is   the  way  you  have  to  watch  and  enjoy  your  world  -­‐  a  spectacular,  electronic  play  of  light  and  shadows,  good   and  evil,  victory  and  defeat,  joy  and  sorrow.  Everything  is  then  the  projection  of  your  own  being  condensed   into  an  appearance  of  characters  and  events.  Now,  if  you  can  remain  firm,  unattached  and  not  identified   with  what  happens  in  Life,  you  will  have  the  power  to  move  mountains.  Identification  or  emotional   involvement  with  the  world  is  but  the  silent,  invisible  cause  of  all  suffering  and  a  mortal  attempt  to  your   own  happiness.                  

    Letting  go  of  fear   Most  of  you  are  conditioned  by  the  culture,  by  the  knowledge,  by  the  environment,  by  food,  by  clothes,   politics,  religion,  sex  and  so  on.  Can  there  be  intelligence  where  there  is  identification?    Can  there  be   freedom  where  there  is  conditioning?  Q.    How  can  we  get  rid  of  our  conditionings?  A.    When  you  are   conscious  of  the  fact  that  you  are  wholly  conditioned,  you  become  free  (silent).  All  wars  would  end  if  people   could  become  aware  of  their  conditionings.    The  Arab,  for  example,  conscious  of  his  conditionings,  would   stop  fighting  the  Israelis  and  vice-­‐versa.  And  that  is  what  happens  to  anybody  who  starts  inquiring  into   himself,  he  gets  free  of  his  turmoil,  of  his  misery,  of  his  inner  war.    He  acquires  inner  silence  and  freedom.     He  lives  in  another  dimension.    He  projects  a  new  world.     Do  not  pay  any  attention  to  your  desires  and  fears.  Let  them  come  and  go.  Even  'desire'  for  Truth,  one  day,   has  to  be  abandoned  to  make  further  progress  possible.   Q.  If  desires  disappear  then,  what  remains?   A.  All  that  which  can  never  change,  all  the  Truth,  goodness  and  beauty  of  this  world,  remains.  The  infinite,   almighty,  immeasurable  you,  remains.   Q.  We  are  worried  about  tomorrow,  about  the  future,  the  uncertainty  of  the  future.  We  don'  t  know  how   to  deal  with  this  uncertainty.   A.  First  of  all,  ask  yourself  what  'time'  is  all  about,  the  meaning  of  time.  Time  is  a  trap,  a  self-­‐created  prison.   Time  is  generated  by  your  own  way  of  thinking.  So,  thought  breeds  fear,  and  fear  creates  all  that  which  you   are  afraid  of.  In  the  omnipotent  state  of  timelessness,  fear  disappears  and  with  it,  all  the  absurdities  and   limitations  of  this  world.       All  your  efforts  revealed  to  be  a  failure   Q.  Don'  t  you  think  that  the  real  facts  are  right  under  our  nose:  the  horrors  of  war,  the  suffering  of   refugees,  the  poverty  in  many  countries,  religious  strife  and  separation,  economic  and  social  injustice,   hatred  and  every  form  of  corruption  in  the  world?   A.  What  you  believe  to  be  real  facts  are  just  the  outer  expressions  of  an  alchemical  phenomenon  which  is   happening,  right  Now,  within  you  and  nowhere  else.  By  believing  that  all  this  is  happening  outside  yourself,   you  have  been  forced  to  find  external  solutions  to  the  endless  problems  of  the  world.  But  all  your  efforts,   all  your  strategies  to  change  the  world  —  from  political  reforms  and  revolutions  to  a  religious,  spiritual  Life   of  denial  and  solitude,  from  a  Life  of  sacrifice  and  discipline  to  the  social  fights  for  the  recognition  of  human   rights  —  revealed  to  be  a  failure.  You  have  tried  so  many  things,  even  being  sincere  and  honest  with   yourself,  but  without  being  able  to  focus  your  attention  on  the  real  cause  of  all  this  confusion:  your  inner   fragmentation  and  deaths.  

    Why  war  and  not  peace   Q.  Why  does  war  dominate  humanity  and  not  peace?   A.  Remember!  There  is  no  war,  and  there  is  no  peace  in  the  world.  War  and  peace  exist  only  in  your   imagination.  War  and  peace  belong  to  your  personal  speculation  and  lie.  For  an  ordinary  man  there  is  no   pain  more  painful  than  the  absence  of  pain.  Pain  is  his  daily  bread,  and  war,  his  permanent  inner  condition.         All  wars  would  end   Most  of  you  are  conditioned  by  culture,  by  knowledge,  by  environment,  by  food,  clothes,  politics,  religion,   sex  and  so  on.   There  can  be  only  weakness  and  slavery  where  there  are  conditionings.   Q.  How  can  we  get  rid  of  our  conditionings?   A.  When  you  are  conscious  of  the  fact  that  you  are  entirely  conditioned  or  lost  or  identified  with   something,  you  become  free.   All  wars  would  end  if  people  could  become  aware  of  their  conditioning.  The  Arab,  for  example,  conscious  of   his  conditioning,  would  stop  hating  the  Israelis  and  vice  versa.  The  Pakistani  would  stop  fighting  the  Indian.   Protestants,  conscious  of  their  conditioning,  would  stop  fighting  Catholics.  And  that  is  what  happens  to   anybody  who  starts  inquiring  into  himself,  he  gets  free  of  his  inner  fragmentation,  of  his  misery,  of  his  inner   war.  He  acquires  inner  silence  and  freedom.  He  lives  in  another  dimension.  He  projects  a  new  world.       The  only  thing  happening  in  the  world   Q.  What's  happening  in  the  world?     A.  In  the  world  You  are  happening...,  nothing  else  but  You.   Q.  And  what  will  happen  to  the  future  generations,  governments,  politics  and  world  economy??   A.  All  the  Now  that  you  are  able  to  stand  will  happen...        Remember!    The  future  of  the  world  is  in  your   hands.      

        How  can  we  approach  life     Q.  Can  you  tell  us  how  we  can  approach  Life  knowing  that  one  day  we  are  going  to  die?     A.  Instead  of  waiting  for  the  end  of  your  time,  try  to  go  back  to  your  supposed  beginning,  and  simply  realise   that  you  have  never  been  born  and  that  all  the  past  and  the  entire  story  of  your  Life  is  just  a  projection  of   this  very  instant.  This  realization  will  make  you  whole,  happier,  stronger,  healthier,  wealthier  and  more   than  anything....indestructible.           What  is  a  fact   Q.  When  you  say  that  the  world  outside  is  only  'apparent,'  do  you  mean  that  there  is  nothing  like  pain,   suffering  and  war  -­‐  that  this  is  a  lovely  world?  When  they  take  away  your  job  or  you  are  full  of  misery  and   have  no  food  for  your  family  or  when  your  son  dies  in  an  absurd  war,  you  say  that  this  is    not  real?   A.  Yes,  this  is  only  an  imaginative  ideological  concept  that  you  believe  to  be  true  —  just  a  world  of  theories,   a  mere  description  of  reality  and  not  reality  itself.  Violence,  fear,  loneliness,  pain,  war,  birth  and  death  are   just  concepts  generated  by  your  memory  and  imagination,  which  are  in  their  turn  mere  shadows  and  not   facts.   Q.  What  are  the  facts?   A.  What  you  yourself  are  in  this  precise  instant  is  a  fact.  You  yourself  free  of  all  fears  is  a  fact.  You  yourself   free  of  that  bundle  of  lies  which  constitutes  history,  tradition,  knowledge,  religion,  culture,  and  experience,   is  a  fact.   The  timeless  you  is  a  fact.  And  all  that  which  apparently  exists  in  time  and  which  you  believe  to  be  external,   will  reduce  you  to  dullness  and  impotence.  Remember!  Only  what  has  been  'done'  inside  is  real  and  can  be   permanent,  the  rest  is  just  a  short  film  disintegrating  as  it  is  made.        

          No  power  ‘out  there’   Q.  As  you  know,  throughout  the  world  there  are  factories  of  armaments  which  are  being  produced  and   stored  to  cause  damage  or  even  destroy  humanity,  how  can  we  counteract  or  protect  ourselves  from  such   a  destructive  power?   A.  By  taking  yourself  out  from  under  the  influence  of  every  form  of  hypnotism,  dependence,  superstition  or   identification  with  the  world.  Do  not  lean  on  anybody's  knowledge,  fantasy  or  prophecy.  Know  that  there  is   no  power  'out  there'  that  can  destroy  you.  'Out  there'  nothing  can  happen  without  your  consent,  inner   approval  or  intent.    Be  vigilant!  Cast  off  all  your  ignorance  and  darkness.  It  is  your  vision  that  needs  some   adjustment  and  not  humanity.  If  you  integrate  yourself,  if  you  become  a  unity,  then  the  world  is  safe.  In  the   world  of  duality  everything  is  perfectly  balanced:  a  period  of  obscurity  and  destruction  inevitably  alternates   with  a  period  of  creativity  and  constructiveness,  but  only  as  a  mirror  of  your  inner  states.  So  don'  t  worry   about  the  world,  worry  only  about  yourself,  this  is  the  only  way  you  can  help.  The  world  of  events  and   circumstances  is  totally  depending  upon  you.  The  conditions  of  the  world  correspond  exactly  to  your  inner   states.  Remember!  Nobody  and  nothing  can  do  anything  if  it  is  not  commanded  and  directed  by  your  own   Dream.    No  war  within,  no  war  without  ,  this  is  the  Law.           God  and  the  others  

Q.    What  about  God?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       A.    You  exist  right  here  and  right  now.    Forget  about  God.    Find  out  who  you  are  first  and  then  inquire  about   your  God.                          

Q.    What  about  the  others?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 A.    Interfere  the  least  possible  with  the  affairs  of  others  and  be  patient,  compassionate.    Learn  how  to  be   still  and  silent.    Looking  at  yourself  in  silence  will  accomplish  more  than  all  the  affairs  and  speeches  of  men.        

Experience   Q.    Do  memory,  experience,  culture,  knowledge,  tradition  or  anything  belonging  to  the  past,  bring  you   understanding?                                                        

A.    Understanding,  clarity,  Integrity,  freshness,  newness  belong  to  the  present  —  to  timlessness.    And  the   past  can  never  be  an  aid  to  understand  the  present.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Q.    Doesn'  t  your  experience  of  the  war  help  you  to  prevent  all  wars?                                                                                                                                                                                           A.    Behind  all  wars  there  is  fear,  and  the  experience  of  the  war  can  only  perpetuate  fear.  The  very  cause  of   all  fears  and  consequently  of  all  wars  is  your  fragmented  Being.  Your  inner  fragmentation  gives  birth  to  all   divisions  in  the  world:  your  nationality,  your  race,  your  tradition,  your  culture,  your  religion,  your  past.   Thought  is  always  old.  Thought  is  the  old.     Laughing  at  the  past   Q.  You  say  that  the  past  can  be  changed.      How  can  I  cancel  something  horrible  that  happened  in  my  Life?   A.  By  laughing  at  it!  Laughing  at  something  horrible  makes  it  lose  its  power  and  reality.  Laughing  transcends   time  and  projects  you  into  Eternity.  If  you  had  the  strength  to  consciously  laugh  at  something  horrible,  that   very  thing  could  never  have  the  power  to  manifest  and  reach  you.     If  you  can  laugh  at  something  you  consider  to  be  horrible,  it  loses  substance  and  disappears.   Remember!  The  past  is  a  projection  of  Now.  In  Now  you  can  create  and  ‘discreate’  your  past  and  future  at   will.  In  other  words,  whatever  happens  in  time  has  its  roots  in  you,  in  your  timeless  and  omnipresent  Being.     The  future  of  humanity   Q.  What  do  you  think  will  happen  to  humanity  in  the  next  twenty  years?   A.    All  that  which  you  yourself  believe  may  happen,  will  happen.  That'  s  why  you  should  be  very  careful   about  your  thoughts  and  entirely  aware  of  what  you  are  right  Now.  Humanity  is  in  'time'  the  perfect   manifestation  of  all  that  'you  are'  in  this  precise,  everlasting  instant.       Austerity  and  discipline   Q.  Are  austerities  and  disciplines  of  any  use?   A.  To  meet  gratefully  whatever  Life  brings  is  all  the  austerity  you  need.  Don'  t  invent  self-­‐inflicted  tortures.   Accept  what  comes  as  it  comes.  One  day  you  will  realize  that  everything  in  the  world  is  part  of  your   conscious  creativity,  and  that  you  don'  t  need  any  discipline  to  become  what  you  already  are:  the  Cause  of   all  causes.    

The  difference  between  happiness  and  pleasure   No  problem  can  be  solved  on  its  own  level.  The  very  ‘desire’  to  live  is  the  messenger  of  death,  as  the  longing   to  be  happy  is  the  outline  of  sorrow.  Try  to  reach  the  state  in  which  there  is  no  knowledge,  but  only  Being,  in   which  Being  itself  is  knowledge.  To  know  by  Being  is  direct  knowledge.  The  same  with  happiness.  True   happiness  is  uncaused  and  independent,  it  cannot  disappear  for  lack  of  stimulation.    It  is  not  the  opposite  of   sorrow,  it  includes  all  pain  and  suffering.    

Q.    When  we  are  in  trouble,  we  are  bound  to  be  unhappy.  How  can  I  be  happy  when  I  am  really  in  trouble?                                                   A.    Fear  is  the  only  trouble.  Fear  is  behind  all  pain.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Q.    What  is  the  difference  between  happiness  and  pleasure?                                                                                                                                                                                                                           A.    Pleasure  depends  on  things,  happiness  does  not.                 Self-­‐giving   Self-­‐giving  is  the  sole,  real  giving.  You  give  to  the  world  only  what  you  truly  give  to  yourself.    Q.  In  order  to  give,  you  have  to  take...  Where  do  you  get  all  the  energy  from  in  order  to  give?   A.  Before  storing  energy  you  have  to  learn  how  to  stop  leaks.  You  spend  all  your  energy  in  the  wrong  way   —  on  identification  and  negative  emotions,  complaining  and  accusation,  on  lying  and  idle  talks.  These  are   open  taps  from  which  your  energy  runs  out.  Stop  this  leakage  and  you  will  accumulate  an  enormous   amount  of  energy.  Remember!  You  are  the  very  Root  of  the  world.  You  are  the  inexhaustible  Source  that   nurtures  all  and  everything.  You  are  the  Supreme  Vision  and  the  infinite  Reality.  That  means  that  you  are   the  Giver  and  the  Receiver  at  the  same  time.   Q.  What  about  egoistic,  greedy  people  who  can  only  take  from  the  world?   A.  Nobody  can  take  anything  from  the  world  because  the  world  has  nothing  to  give.  You  are  the  sole   Dreamer,  producer  and  the  only  distributor  and  the  world  is  only  a  shadow,  a  pale  reflection  of  what  you   really  are.  Not  even  the  most  clever  thief  can  ever  steal  anything  from  you  without  your  'consent'.   Something  can  be  taken  away  from  you,  including  your  Life,  only  if  you  first  'give  it...  up'.        

      Reluctance  to  discipline   Q.    My  reluctance  to  any  discipline  is  for  the  fact  that  I  could  be  asked  one  day  to  abandon  the  things  I   possess  or  the  people  I  love,  just  for  the  sake  of  it,  and  that  is  unacceptable.     A.    'Here'  there  is  nothing  and  no  one  to  sacrifice  save  your  negative  inner  states  -­‐  your  suffering.         The  theory  of  evolution   Q.    There  are  so  many  theories  about  the  nature  of  man  and  his  evolution.    Which  is  true?   A.    All  are  true,  all  are  false.    You  can  accept  whichever  you  think  best.  Theories  are  neither  right  nor  wrong.     It  is  the  way  you  approach  them  that  gives  results.    If  you  are  truly  earnest  and  sincere,  any  theory  will  be   the  right  one  for  you.    It  is  your  earnestness  that  makes  you  free  and  not  the  theory.         The  motive  for  action   Q.    Without  fear  and  desire  what  motive  is  there  for  action?                                                                                                                                                                                                                     A.    None,  unless  you  consider  love  of  Life,  of  righteousness,  of  beauty,  motive  enough.  Do  not  be  afraid  of   freedom  from  fear  and  desire.    It  enables  you  to  live  a  Life  much  more  intense  and  interesting  than  all  you   know.                

      Harmonization  of  opposites   Q.  How  can  I  bridge  the  gap  between  vision  and  reality,  intuition  and  action,  financial  power  and  love?   A.  At  the  moment  you  cannot  do  it,  because  you  are  strongly  convinced  that  the  Universe  is  a  hostile  place   where  you  are  victim  of  forces  outside,  over  which  you  have  no  control  at  all.  You  have  taken  your  internal   divisions  and  distortions  as  something  brought  about  by  the  world  outside  when,  in  reality,  they  are  merely   projected  out  into  the  screen  of  external  reality  from  your  inner,  fragmented  Being.   In  order  to  fill  the  gap  between  dream  and  reality  you  have  first  to  get  rid  of  your  belief  in  illusions,  you   have  to  realize  that  your  beliefs  in  separation,  limitation,  lack,  loss,  pain,  struggle,  sickness,  birth  and  death   are  not  real  but  only  a  description  of  reality.   "Heaven  and  Earth  shall  pass  away,"  the  Bible  says.  That  means  that  they  cannot  continue  to  exist  as   separate  states  ,  and  so  the  gap  between  vision  and  reality,  intuition  and  action,  financial  power  and  love   will  disappear  when  unity  of  Being  will  manifest  as  the  result  of  a  long,  hard  work  on  yourself.               The  only  sacrifice   Q.  What  do  you  suggest  we  have  to  sacrifice  because  we  can  reach  a  higher  level  of  understanding?   A.  In  this  work  there  is  only  one  thing  you  can  and  have  to  sacrifice,  and  that  is  your  suffering.  Here,  you   learn  how  useless  is  suffering.  Here,  you  learn  that  there  is  no  tool,  no  method,  no  system,  neither  religion   nor  ideology  that  can  help  you  to  release  it.  You  have  to  do  it  all  by  yourself  and  from  within.           Know  yourself  as  a  whole   Q.  As  I  look  at  you,  you  seem  to  be  sure  of  yourself  and  safe  -­‐  without  limits  and  without  problems.  How  is   it  that  your  experience  is  so  different  from  ours?   A.  You  can  see  the  world  only  through  the  idea  you  have  of  yourself.  It'  s  your  inner  attitude  that  differs  and   not  the  outer  experience.  As  you  think  yourself  to  be,  so  the  world  appears  to  you.  The  difference  lies  in   you  alone.  Know  yourself  as  a  whole,  and  you  will  see  the  world  as  it  is  -­‐  a  single,  indivisible,  complete  and   harmonious  unity.      

    Love  and  financial  power   Q.    You  say  that    'love  and  financial  power'  are  one  and  the  same.    Don't  you  think  this  comparison  is   paradoxical  or  unrealistic  even?    How  can  the  financial  world  with  all  its  criminality    be  compared  to  a  world   as  pure  as  that  of  Love?   A.    'Love'  means  absence  of  death    -­‐  in  the  absence  of  death  one  is  omnipotent.    One  who  really  loves   governs  himself  and  the  entire  Universe.       Living  without  problems   Q.  Could  we  live  without  problems?   A.  Of  course  you  could.  But  as  you  are  you  cannot  do  without.  You  need  them.  Problems  exist  to  let  you  see   how  to  transcend  your  poverty.  Remember!  What  you  call  problems  are  only  solutions  not  yet  recognized   travelling  fast  towards  an  imminent  Fortune.       Time-­‐worshippers     There  is  nothing  that  happens  outside  of  Now.  Everything  happens  Now  and...'for  the  first  time.'   You  yourself  are  happening  'for  the  first  time'  right  Now  with  all  your  personal  history  and  destiny,  people   and  events,  your  past  and  future,  memories  and  expectations,  fears  and  desires.  The  closer  you  are  to  Now,   the  clearer  your  understanding,  the  closer  you  are  to  your  Being,  the  more  powerful  your  creativity  and  the   capacity  of  doing.   Q.  For  what  you  say  then,  I  could  cancel  all  kinds  of  problems,  difficulties,  faults  and  debts  'right  now'  if  I   only  wished?   A.  Yes.   Q.  Why  doesn't  it  happen  then?   A.  Because  you  yourself  don'  t  want  it  to  happen.  You  are  a  Time-­‐worshipper,  and  as  such,  you  believe  that   only  'time'  can  change  things.  For  you,  'time'  is  God.    Try  to  understand.      What  is  really  happening  Now  is   unique,  original,  absolute,  it  has  never  happened  before  and  will  never  happen  after.  All  kinds  of  things  that   you  are  witnessing  Now  are  the  simultaneous  effect  of  your  infinite  creativity  that  happens  just  once...   forever.        

      Changing  your  world   Q.    So  many  saints,  mystics  and  great  people  have  lived  and  died,  and  they  did  not  change  my  world.   A.    How  could  they?  The  world  is  as  you  dream  it.  Only  you  can  change  it.       The  truth  of  theories   Q.  There  are  so  many  theories  about  the  nature  of  man,  his  evolution  and  destiny.  Which  is  true?                                                                                   A.  All  are  true,  all  are  false.  You  can  accept  whichever  you  feel  best.  Theories  are  neither  right  nor  wrong.  It   is  your  inner  attitude,  the  way  you  approach  them  that  gives  results.  And  this  is  also  meant  for  any   ideology,  philosophy  and  religion  you  follow.  If  you  are  truly  earnest  and  sincere,  any  theory  will  be  the   right  one  for  you.  It  is  the  earnestness  that  makes  you  free  and  not  the  theory.       War  is  within   Q.  Can  you  tell  us  about  the  wars  in  the  world  and  what  should  be  our  attitude  towards  them?   A.  Have  you  ever  seen  a  war?....(silence)...  you  will  never  see  one.  War,  like  poverty,  is  not  an  objective   status,  but  a  subjective  state  of  Being.  War,  like  poverty,  is  an  inner  matter  and  never  an  outer  reality.  The   world  in  its  apparent  objectivity  is  only  a  projection.  War,  poverty,  horrors,  disease  and  death  are  only   within.  They  all  come  from  within.  The  objective  world  is  only  a  reflection  of  your  subjectivity,  only  you  can   heal  and  save  the  world  if  you  know  how  to  heal  and  save  yourself.  The  path  to  travel  takes  the  form  of  its   traveler.   Q.  What  about  the  media?  Are  they  not  telling  us  what  is  really  happening  in  the  world?  Are  they  not  telling   us  the  Truth  about  the  real  conditions  of  people  in  the  world?   A.  No!  .  .  .  .  They  are  only  telling  you  about  your  own  inner  states  and  conditions.  They  are  only  telling  you   what  you  yourself  want  them  to  tell  you.  They  are  only  giving  you  what  you  unconsciously  ask  for.            

    You  are  not  one,  but  a  multitude   Q.  If  there  is  a  God  or  a  higher  Being  governing  the  Universe,  why  does  He  not  make  this  Earth  a  peaceful   place  to  live  with    enlightened  human  Beings  that  love  and  trust  each  other  unconditionally?   A.  Look  at  yourself,  study  yourself  and  you  will  know  the  answer.  You  are  not  a  unity  but  a  multitude,  a   legion,  a  multiplicity.  Inside  yourself  you  are  a  crowd  of  negative  people  fighting  each  other,  full  of  negative   states  which  destroy  your  own  happiness  and  make  you  miserable  and  ill.  This  is  why  the  world  appears  to   you  as  a  theatre  of  horrors,  cruelty  and  wars.  There  is  no  God  to  blame  but  only  yourself.       Humanity  in  time     Q.  What  do  you  think  will  happen  to  humanity  in  the  next  twenty  years?     A.  All  that  which  you  yourself  believe  may  happen,  will  happen.  That'  s  why  you  should  be  very  careful   about  your  thoughts  and  entirely  aware  of  what  you  are  right  Now.         Humanity  is  in  Time  the  perfect  manifestation  of  all  that  You  are  in  this  precise,  everlasting  Now.         What  can  free  the  world   Q.  What  can  free  the  world  from  so  much  suffering?   A.  You  can.  You  can  do  it  by  giving  up  pain.  The  world  suffers  the  evils  you  inflict  on  yourself  and  is  free  of   everything  you  are  free  of.  The  world  suffers  of  all  that  you  have  yet  to  forgive  inside.       Stuck  in  a  vicious  circle   Q.  Why  do  you  refuse  very  often  to  meet  spiritual  seekers?                                                                                                                                                                                                                     A.  Many  of  you  are  stuck  in  a  vicious  circle,  entrapped  in  an  unnecessary  struggle.  You  have  transferred  the   struggle  for  worldly  goods  to  the  struggle  for  heavenly  reaches  but  nothing  has  changed  —  you  were  lying   before  and  you  are  still  lying  now.  Instead  of  enjoying  the  world  and  laughing,  you  grunt,  blame  and   complain.  

      No  degeneration,  no  death   Q.  If  men  didn't  die,  their  bodies,  with  age  would  become  irreparable  and  useless.   A.  No,  look  at  things  from  another  point  of  view.  Death  becomes  necessary  because  the  body  degrades,   declines  and  becomes  unusable.  The  idea  of  never  being  born  —  the  renunciation  of  a  time-­‐conditioned   nature  —  does  not  permit  the  body  to  degrade.  Not  being  able  to  degenerate,  the  body  no  longer  needs  to   die.  Accepting  your  birth  as  something  truly  occurred  is  the  main  reason  of  aging  and  dying.  Questioning   your  birth  will  greatly  improve  the  quality  of  your  being  and  empower  the  idea  of  living  forever.       The  cause  of  all  calamities   Q.  Can  you  tell  me  which  is  the  cause  of  all  the  world'  s  sorrows  —  poverty,  hatred,  violence  and  wars  —   and  if  there  is  any  remedy?  Your  theory  about  a  causeless  world  is  very  difficult  for  me  to  understand  and,     I  feel,  beyond  my  control  -­‐  this  removes  all  hopes  of  the  world  ever  changing  for  me.   A.  Sorrow  in  the  world  is  due  to  your  having  forgotten  your  own  Being  —  having  given  reality  to  the  picture   on  the  screen.  This  world  can  be  changed  if  you  work  on  yourself.  Causes  or  no  causes,  you  have  made  this   world  and  you  can  change  it.  The  reason  why  you  don'  t  understand  is  because  you  believe  that  you  are  in   the  world  and  not  the  world  in  you.  To  take  appearance  for  reality  is  a  mortal  error  and  the  very  cause  of  all   calamities.       You  are  the  only  one  who  suffers   Q.  If  no  law  of  karma,  punishment  or  injustice  exist  in  Life,  why  then  is  one  child  born  deformed  and   another  perfect?  Why  does  the  destiny  of  one  man  lead  to  joy  and  success  and  another  to  failure  and   destruction?  Why  does  one  race  live  in  peace  and  prosperity  and  another  suffer  continual  prejudice  and   persecution?    A.  Because  of  you.  When  you  will  stop  believing  in  Time  as  something  real,  these  abyssal   distances  and  paradoxical  contradictions  that  you  see  in  the  world  will  cease  to  exist.  Look  at  things  from   within  and  you  will  realize  that  there  is  nobody  suffering  but  you.  You  are  the  only  sufferer.  The  apparent   law  of  cause  and  effect  is  just  a  way  of  thinking.  In  reality  all  is  Here  and  Now  and  all  is  One.   Q.  What'  s  the  use  of  knowing  that  "all  is  Here  and  Now  and  all  is  One?"   A.  If  you  realize  this  in  your  body,  nothing  will  ever  be  impossible  to  you.    

      What  is  beauty   Q.  What  is  beauty?   A.  Whatever  is  conceived  in  bliss  is  beautiful.  Bliss  is  the  essence  of  beauty.  Be  fully  aware  of  your  own   Being  and  you  will  be  in  bliss,  that  is,  you  will  regain  your  sense  of  well-­‐being  and  beauty.       Fear  comes  to  an  end   Q.  How  can  I  get  rid  of  fear?   A.  Once  you  realize  that  all  comes  from  within,  that  the  world  in  which  you  live  has  not  been  projected   onto  you  but  by  you,  your  fear  comes  to  an  end.      The  world  outside  is  an  empty  screen  on  which  we   project  the  shadows  of  a  disintegrated  psychology.  Man,  governed  by  a  mortal,  impotent  god,  has   forgotten  his  Integrity  and  can  only  produce  fragments  of  himself.       On  the  thread  of  your  Being   Q.  How  can  I  improve  the  world?   A.  It  is  not  the  world  that  you  have  to  improve,  but  your  way  of  looking  —  your  inner  attitude.  You  can  see   the  moon  dancing  on  the  restless  waters  of  the  lake,  but  it  is  all  appearance.  The  world  has  no  existence   apart  from  you.  You  create  it,  you  destroy  it.  You  improve  it,  you  disprove  it.  The  world  hangs  on  the  thread   of  your  Being.  No  Being,  no  world.       Immortality   Q.  Which  discipline  or  technique  amongst  many  can  be  more  effective  to  make  us  immortal?   A.  You  don'  t  have  to  do  anything  to  live  forever  but  to  accept  yourself  as  a  birthless,  deathless  Being.  If  you   are  not  immortal  Now,  then  you  never  will  be.  Immortality  is  not  a  final  destination.  Immortality  is  not  a   process  of  growth  that  makes  you  one  day  perfect.  If  you  try  to  improve  yourself  through  some  discipline   and  apply  it  to  become  immortal,  you  will  never  succeed.  Immortality  cannot  happen  in  time.  Immortality  is   something  you  already  are.  Living  forever  is  all  about  transforming  the  quality  of  your  Life  from  within,  by   focusing  all  your  attention  on  the  Real  Cause  of  all  and  everything........the  Omnipresent  Now.  

      Isolate  yourself  internally   Q.  What  should  we  do  when  the  world  outside  gets  tough  or  threatening?   A.  Let'  s  start  with  what  you  shouldn't  do:   You  must  not  react  -­‐  not  react  as  you  always  do  to  everything.  If  you  find  the  strength  to  not  react  to  the   outer  circumstances,  you  will  no  longer  be  at  the  mercy  of  Life.  So,  do  not  identify  with  the  difficulties  and   unhappiness  of  the  outer  world.  Isolate  yourself  internally  from  Life  and  don'  t  let  its  events  crush  you.  No   one  and  nothing  can  hurt  you  or  even  touch  you  if  you  neither  identify  nor  react  to  the  external  events.   Non-­‐identifying  means  not  getting  lost  or  drowned  in  your  own  image  reflected  in  the  troubled  waters  of   the  world.         This  work   Q.  What  is  this  work  about?   A.  This  work  is  for  those  who  are  disappointed  with  their  ordinary  Life  and  are  looking  for  something  they   have  lost  or  forgotten  for  so  long...  something  special.  This  work  is  about  your  inner  states  and  deals  with   your  inner  reactions  to  others  and  the  outer  world.  Self-­‐observation  is  the  starting-­‐point  of  this  work.  Only   you  can  know  your  inner  states  and  only  you  can  move  yourself  from  useless,  painful  or  negative  states.   You  have  to  learn  to  distinguish,  through  self-­‐observation  first  and  double  attention  later,  between  yourself   and  the  external  world  -­‐  between  cause  and  effect  -­‐  between  what  is  Real  and  what  is  not.    

Q.  How  would  the  world  be  if  we  stopped  dying?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   A.  It  would  be  a  very  funny  world,  surely  more  alive!  Try  to  visualize  a  humanity  without  conflicts,  wars,   persecutions,  diseases,  poverty  and  injustice.  Try  to  imagine  a  world  without  tribunals,  police,  prisons,   hospitals  and  cemeteries  and  you  will  know  how  an  intelligent,  joyful,  immortal  humanity  would  live.   Remember!  Immortality  doesn't  mean  the  Life  'after'  death  full  of  imaginary  angels,  ascensions,  heavens  or   reincarnations,  but  it  is  about  Life  'without'  death...  Life  with  all  Its  infinite  possibilities.          

      A  very  funny  world  

Q.    When  and  where  can  I  meet  the  Dreamer?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             A.  You  can  meet  the  Dreamer  right  Now  if  you  know  how  to  create  a  crack  into  the  thick  encrustation  of   'time'  hypnotism.                                                                                                                                                                    

 Q.    But  'living'  takes  time.    'Living'  happens  in  time.  'Living'  is  time,    isn't  it?                                                                                                                                                                       A.    No.  True  Life  happens  only  in  the  absence  of  time.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Real  Life  has  neither  beginning  nor  end,  birth  nor  death,  sorrow  nor  happiness.  Only  Freedom...  Freedom   from  all  bondage,  limitation  and  hypnotism.  Real  Life  belongs  to  the  almighty  beauty  of  'Now'   overwhelming  All  and  Everything.       What  really  matters  is  now   A  few  minutes  of  absolute  silence  are  enough  to  adjust  the  world.    You  are  always  dealing  with  yourself.     Once  won  the  war  with  time,  there  will  be  no  more  wars  —  neither  inside  nor  out.  Only  Now  counts...the   past  is  imaginary...  history  is  mere  imagination...  historic  characters  are  actors  in  a  comedy  written  in  this   very  instant,  who  enact  a  script  dictated  by  your  own  fantasy.  There  is  no  one  and  nothing  else  outside  of   Now.    Everything  is  a  marvelous  invention.  Everything  happens  Now.          

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Q.  How  do  you  explain,  then,  that  I  know  and  remember  perfectly  having  parents,  being  a  child,  having   experiences,  traveling  all  over  the  world,  meeting  thousands  of  people  and  having  a  wife  and  children,  a   profession,  a  business,  defeats  and  victories,  joy  and  sorrow?                                                                                                                                                                                         A.  All  that  you  believe  to  have  happened  in  the  past  is  happening  in  this  very  instant.  There  is  no  moment   before  and  none  after.    Everything  happens  Now...There  is  nothing  outside  of  Now.    Now  is  the  beginning   and  end  of  every  cycle  -­‐  from  the  atom  to  God  -­‐  past,  present  and  future.    Defeats  don't  exist  in  'Now',  but   only  victories...There  is  no  sickness  in  'Now,'  but  only  healing.    Problems,  defeats  and  errors  are  only  in  your   imagination.                                                                                                            

Q.  How  can  we  believe  in  something  like  'Now'  that  barely  lasts  an  instant?                                                                                                                                                                     A.    That  which  does  not  have  limits  cannot  be  governed  by  time.    Now  is  omnipresent  and  almighty.    'Now'   there  is  no  space  for  lying,  and  no  time  for  dying.          

      Injustice  in  my  country   Q.    What  should  be  my  attitude  toward  the  present  upsetting  social  conditions,  political  intrigues  and   injustice    in  my  country?     A.    Right  now  do  not  give  them  any  attention  at  all,  and  dedicate  all  your  time  and  energy  to  your  own  inner   transformation.  The  injustice  you  feel  in  the  world  is  an  illusion.  The  injustice  that  you  see  is  not  coming   from  outside  but  from  all  the  poison  you  carry  within  your  inner  Self.  One  day  you  will  realize  that  the  very   cause  of  all  poverty,  violence  and  political  crimes,  which  you  claim  your  country  to  be  victim  of,  is  the   fragmentation  of  your  inner  Being,  the  projection  of  a  mental  disease  which  can  be  healed  only  when  you   recognize  yourself  as  the  sole  responsible.  The  moment  you  yourself  become  an  inseparable  'wholeness',   your  country  will  be  free  from  all  tyranny.       A  limited  vulnerable  body   Q.  My  grandmother's  dying,  should  I  go  to  see  her?     A.  You  still  perceive  yourself  as  a  limited,  vulnerable  body  that  was  born  and  a  little  later  dies  —  it  is  an   illusion.  Birth  and  death  are  the  symbolic  manifestation  of  the  insane,  self-­‐hypnotized  human  mentality.   Remember  that  what  you  perceive  as  real  is  just  the  materialization  in  Time  of  your  inner  states.  The   slightest  change  in  your  own  Being  will  make  you  project  a  completely  different  world,  a  new  order  of   reality.  Birth  and  death  will  then  totally  disappear  if  you  allow  the  power  of  Now  to  have  the  upper  hand   over  the  obsolete,  dreary,  self-­‐imposed  description  of  Life.       About  the  future   Q.    What  about  the  future?  Can  I  change  my  future  the  way  I'd  like  it  to  be?    A.  Yes,  you  can  easily  change  your  future  if  you  first  understand  that  your  future  is  not  in  the  future  at  all   but  right  Now,  under  your  nose.  Both  future  and  past  are  non-­‐existent.  They  live  only  in  your  imagination.   Whatever  comes  from  the  world  outside  is  a  reflection  of  this  precise  moment.  Look  at  yourself  and  you   will  know  what  is  going  to  happen.  Remember!  "The  slightest  change  in  your  being  moves  mountains  in  the   world  of  events."      

    Sooner  or  Later   If  you  believe  or  simply  think  that  Life  is  something  coming  from  out  there,  sooner  or  later,  you  are   destined  to  succumb.  Remember:  "Nothing  is  external",  so  nothing  can  hurt  you  unless  you  hurt  yourself.  If   Life  comes  from  within  then  nobody  and  nothing  outside  yourself  can  ever  take  it  away.     Q.  What  about  Jesus  Christ  then?  Wasn'  t  he  betrayed,  tortured  and  put  to  death  by  mean  people  and   negative  forces  coming  from  the  outer  world?     A.  It  is  impossible  to  see  someone  suffering  or  dying  if  you  are  not  dead  inside.  What  you  are  really   witnessing  is  not  somebody  else'  s  death  but  your  very  own.  Real  Life  comes  from  within  and  nobody  and   nothing  can  ever  destroy  It.         How  can  this  chaos  be  governed   Q.    Life  has  never  been  as  precarious  and  dangerous  as  it  is  today.    People   seem  out  of  their  minds  and  out  of  control.    How  can  this  chaos  be  governed  or  managed?   A.    Stop  believing  that  all  this  is  happening  outside  yourself...  Look  at   yourself  inside  and  you'll  know  the  real  cause  of  this  craziness...  The  world  is  as  you  dream  it.         Changing  the  Future     Q.  What  about  the  future?  Can    I  change  my  future  the  way  I'd  like  it  to  be?       A.  Yes,  you  can  easily  change  your  future  if  you  first  understand  that  your  ‘future’    is  not  in  the  future  at  all   but  right  Now,  under  your  nose.  Both  future  and  past  are  non-­‐existent.  They  live  only  in  your  imagination.   Whatever  comes  from  the  world  outside  is  a  reflection  of  this  precise  moment.  Look  at  yourself  and  you   will  know  what  is  going  to  happen.  Remember!  "The  slightest  change  in  your  being  moves  mountains  in  the   world  of  events."         Birth  is  not  a  fact     Q.    How  can  we  never  be  born  if  we  already  are?       A.  The  simple  realization  that  birth  is  not  a  fact  but  only  a  description,  makes  us  "Unborn  and  Immortal."     Remember!    The  memory  is  a  lie  you  tell  yourself.    Memory  is  a  private  liar.  Once  free  from  lies,  you  won't   have  limits  any  more,  and  being  born  and  dying  will  be  forgotten  forever.            

            Improving  the  quality  of  your  life  

  Q.  If  our  thoughts  create  our  personal  reality,  what  kind  of  thoughts  should  we  have  then  to  change  things   we  don't  like  in  life?     A.  You  can  improve  or  control  the  quality  of  your  thoughts  and  consequently  change  the  corresponding   outer  circumstances  only  if  you  know  how  to  raise  your  level  of  Being.  To  do  this  you  have  to  study  and   work  in  a  special  School  and  apply  Its  teachings  and  ideas  to  yourself.         The  beginning  of  all  creation     Q.  Are  we  inheriting  the  past  or  are  we  projecting  it?  Are  we  the  final  result  of  our  past  or  are  we  projecting   it  with  our  imagination?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             A.  How  can  you  come  from  something  that  does  not  exist,  "time"  for  example?  Remember!  Here  is  where   you  have  always  been,  and  Now  is  the  only  existing  Time.  If  there  is  no  past,  then  there  is  no  race,  no  family   inheritance,  but  only  Freedom.  There  is  no  condemnation  of  sins  nor  debt  of  Karma,  but  only  your   magnificent  Being  that  creates,  in  this  everlasting  instant,  the  incredible  theatre  of  your  existence.  Yes,  the   beginning  of  all  creation  is  in  You.         Madrid,  March  11     Q.  What  about  the  violence  in  the  world?  How  can  we  stop  it?   A.  Everything  a  man  does  in  the  world  is  unreal  and  useless  because  he  is  not  doing  it  from  himself.  "Doing"   means  to  have  a  Will.  "Doing"  means  making  decisions.  "Doing"  means  Integrity.  Man,  as  he  is,  cannot  "do"   unless  he  overcomes,  through  enormous  efforts,  his  own  inner  violence.  Man  cannot  "do"  unless  he   understands  that  all  the  external  phenomena  are  none  other  than  the  dramatic  result  of  his  own  inner   states  and  attitudes.  As  long  as  a  man  is  governed  by  outer  circumstances  he  will  never  be  able  to  see   where  all  the  violence  in  the  world  is  coming  from.  Violence  always  breeds  violence.  Violence  destroys  in   man  any  possibility  to  change.     The  Dreamer           The  dream  to  become  rich       Q.    My  dream  is  to  become  rich.  How  can  I?        A.  This  is  impossible  to  achieve  because  you  cannot  become  what  you  already  are.  What  you  have  to  do  is   to  get  free  of  all  that  which  impedes  your  inner  power  to  manifest.  Quality  is  power.  Quality  creates   quantity  and  not  viceversa.  The  level  of  your  inner  freedom  determines  your  financial  fortune.  If  you  want   to  be  rich  you  have  to  hold  all  your  attention  where  the  only  freedom  in  the  universe  comes  from:  Your   Own  Inner  Being.  The  purity  of  your  Being  makes  you  inevitably  rich.  

              The  only  real  help     Q.  Don'  t  you  think  that  our  mission  on  earth  is  to  help  others  and  love  each  other?      A.  How  can  you  help  the  world  if  you  are  the  very  cause  of  its  tragedy  and  misery?  The  only  way  you  can   help  the  world  is  to  wake  up  from  the  nightmare.  The  world  incarnates  your  very  Being.  It  is  just  the  replica   of  all  that  you  are  —  the  world  is  such  because  you  are  such.  If  you  were  concerned  about  the  world  you   would  abandon  your  daily  routines  and  afflictions,  and  enter  the  state  of  Self-­‐awareness  from  which  alone   you  can  really  help.         Shedding  light  on  the  darkness     Q.    There  is  so  much  darkness  present  in  the  world  at  this  time,  what  can  we  do  to  help  or  influence  it   positively?   A.    There  is  no  darkness  nor  evil  in  the  world,  but  only  your  degraded  inner  vision  projecting  its  own  sorrow.     Try  to  focus  your  attention  upon  the  Light  instead,  and  you  will  meet  a  powerful  world  surrounded  by   harmony  and  beauty.  Things  happen  just  as  you  want  them  to  happen,  because  you  are  all  and  all  is  you.     How  can  you  help  the  world  if  you  are  all?    How  can  water  help  the  water,  or  fire  the  fire?      Be  very  careful!     Behind  the  apparent  will  or  desire  of  helping  the  world  or  others,  your  vanity,  greed  and  complacency  hide   undisturbed.    Being  anonymous  and  working  from  within  is  the  most  powerful  and  compelling  way  to   improve  the  world  and  uplift  every  human  being.  

You  can  only  lean  on  yourself.    There  is  no  God,  no  religion,  no  philosophy,  no  knowledge,  no   ideology,  no  technology,  no  book,  no  man  you  can  lean  on.   Everything  is  within  you  and  caused  by  you.     The  Dreamer  

       

The Dreamer’s technology   Think   about   what   the   Dreamer   has   brought   us:   the   elimination   of   every   war,   conflict,   illness,   poverty,   failure…   perpetual  victory,  success…  prosperity  without  limits…  the  elimination  of  death,  of  illness,  of  poverty…     But  the  world,  as  we  see  and  touch  it,  continues  to  be  ravaged  by  the  same  ills…  Are  there  then  two  realities?  Your   reality  and  everyone  else’s?     No,  there  is  only  that  of  the  Dreamer.  Your  vision,  that  which  is  still  perpetuated  by  conflicts  and  disasters,  is  false…   Cast  off  all  ignorance  and  darkness,  integrate  yourself,  become  a  unity.  It  is  your  vision  that  needs  some  adjustment   and  not  the  world.  The  Dreamer  brought  you  the  most  revolutionary  technology,  a  personal  and  universal  technology.   Internet  and  the  most  advanced  products  of  modern  science  are  flint  and  clubs  in  the  hands  of  cavemen  compared  to   it.     Follow   the   principles   of   the   Dreamer   and   you   will   see   governments   and   nations   fall,   you   will   see   ideologies,   philosophies  and  religions,  knowledge,  fantasies  and  prophesies  and  all  that  in  which  man  has  believed  until  today,  all   swept  away.  Have  you  ever  imagined  humanity  without  hunger  and  without  anger,  a  humanity  which  lives  for  the  sake   of   beauty   and   not   for   need?   A   world   without   starving   children,   without   wars,   without   disease,   without   poverty?   A   world  dedicated  to  its  own  conscious  awakening  and  harmony?  But  humanity  is  not  ready  to  live  in  a  world  without   wars,  conflicts  and  divisions…  a  world  without  antagonism,  without  time,  without  death.     In  that  case  it  will  take  a  long  time  to  realise  this  dream…     No,  this  revolution  cannot  happen  in  time,  but  in  the  complete  absence  of  time,  in  a  vertical  time.  There  is   no   evolution   in   time.   In   linear   time   humanity   can   only   repeat   itself   and   its   history   of   conflicts   and   crime.   Between  a  man  from  the  stone  age  and  a  modern  man  there  is  no  difference.  Millions  of  years  have  passed   if   we   want   to   believe   in   time,   without   anything   having   happened.   Only   in   the   absence   of   time   does   the   Antagonist   disappear   and   with   him   every   conflict.   But   how   could   you   live   without   the   Antagonist?   The   Antagonist  gives  you  a  role,  a  job  and  even  a  name,  a  family,  a  purpose  in  life…
