How to Prepare Yourself for Awakening (Advaita / Non-Duality)

Описание: How to Prepare Yourself for Awakening (Advaita / Non-Duality)

In this video, the teaching begins with a key instruction from Nisargadatta Maharaj: "if you truly want to discover the Truth, you must first take a serious and honest look at what is FALSE." Awakening is not approached by chasing an abstract ideal, but by clearly seeing through the mistaken identities that obscure what you already are.

The first false identification to explore is "the body." The body is always something OBSERVED, never the observer itself. You only know the body exists because it is perceived through the senses and through proprioception, WICH IN TURN are ALSO objects OBSERVED.

Even though Consciousness looks through the body to experience the world, this does not make the body what you are, just as looking through a telescope does not make you the telescope. Seeing the body clearly as an OBJECT loosens the most fundamental confusion about identity.

The inquiry then moves to THE MIND. Thoughts, emotions, motivations, beliefs, and sensations -- the mental objects, the dance we call the mind. Each of these is OBSERVED by Consciousness, which means, AGAIN, none of them can be what you are. The mind, like the body, belongs to the realm of the OBSERVED. Recognizing this distinction is essential to disentangling Consciousness from mental activity.

From there, the focus turns to the personality. Personality feels deeply personal —“this is who I am”— yet it too can be examined, understood, and classified, until you realize that THE PERSONALITY IS A SET OF CHARACTERISTICS BEING OBSERVED. Using typological systems, particularly those rooted in natural energetic structures such as the chakra system like the Myers-Briggs framework. Through it you can gain rapid and accurate insight into your human persona. These system reveals how the four lower energy centers in the astral spine shape tendencies PRIMARILY toward either "material focus," "pleasure," "self-esteem and systems-thinking," or "romance and idealism." Understanding your personality does not define your true Self, but it helps you clearly see the persona as A STYLE you have, not something you are.

JUNG AND MYERS-BRIGGS typological systems recommend to move gradually toward BALANCE within these human centers. Each drive has a healthy expression and a distorted one. Material stability, pleasure, self-esteem, and romance are all natural aspects of human life, yet when exaggerated they turn into materialism, hedonism, narcissism, or romanticism --- ALL FALSE PHILOSOPHIES. These extremes are not moral failures but imbalances that create suffering IN ONESELF AND OTHERS. Seeing them clearly strengthens inner harmony and prepares the ground for Awakening.

Inquiry then extends to a subtler illusion: the belief “I am a SOUL.” The astral body survives physical death and becomes another instrument of perception which Consciousness uses to experience the divine Lila (illusion), this time in the astral realm. Identification with the astral body leads to the false belief that one is "A SOUL." Yet this too is another layer of false identification.

Understanding the specialty of the astral body is deeply practical. When your human life aligns with that specialty, work becomes meaningful, service natural and enjoyable and life feels authentic rather than driven by survival and obligation. This alignment brings profound fulfillment, even though it is still not the ultimate realization of your True Nature.

IDENTIFICATIONS with these layers — body, mind, personality, and soul — are the obstacles to Awakening but SEEING THROUGH THEM IS preparation for it. By thoroughly understanding what you are not, clarity arises naturally. Awakening then comes not as an abstract event, but as the recognition of what has always been present. It is true that Awakening can come through DEVOTION (SURRENDER) alone, but careful self-inquiry and inner balance make the realization stable and embodied.

Awakening to True Nature is distinct from attaining material wellbeing, healthy enjoyment of the senses, attaining good self-esteem, or discovering your vocation or even balancing your personality, yet all of these processes transform life profoundly. Preparation in the lower energy centers allows the deeper motivation for Awakening to arise organically.

This talk presents a complete framework to prepare yourself for Awakening, clearly seeing through the FALSE -- understanding the human and soul experience without identifying with them.

Coaching sessions with a teacher that has attained, can help significantly with this work, to prepare for Awakening or to embody it fully.
