Becoming Aware of the Illusion of the External Life

1
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:05,800
Many people are beginning to
reflect and even entertain the

2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:10,200
notion that the world we
experience on a day-to-day basis

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:16,600
is somehow unreal or illusory.
Films, such as the dystopian

4
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:21,400
story, set forth in The Matrix
and vision that uman beings are

5
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:26,200
fettered and their brains wired.
So they experience a form of

6
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:30,500
reality while their actual
bodies and lives are turned into

7
00:00:30,500 --> 00:00:35,400
an energy, farming activity when
they are disconnected, from The

8
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,100
Matrix.
They wake up to a bleak reality

9
00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:42,800
and an enormous struggle to free
Humanity from subjection to this

10
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:47,300
terrible illusion.
Some find however that the

11
00:00:47,300 --> 00:00:50,100
illusion is so much more
appealing than the real life,

12
00:00:50,100 --> 00:00:53,400
they wake up to.
So they want to get hooked up

13
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:57,700
again.
This is not of course the first

14
00:00:57,700 --> 00:01:00,800
time that the thought has been
entertained about the illusion,

15
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,900
going back to Plato's, parable
of the cave.

16
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:10,000
There is a thought that what we
perceive may not be the reality

17
00:01:10,500 --> 00:01:13,400
or at least not all of the
reality.

18
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,700
SRI shankaracharya, of course,
became a leading philosophical.

19
00:01:18,700 --> 00:01:23,700
Proponent of the illusion, the
Maya of the life in the external

20
00:01:23,700 --> 00:01:27,500
world.
Modern writers such as Harriman.

21
00:01:27,500 --> 00:01:30,600
Hesa wrote tales about the
illusory nature of life in

22
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,900
society and the dream like Wade
can be experienced.

23
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,700
Modern-day scientists are now
speculating about whether we

24
00:01:39,700 --> 00:01:44,900
live in a hole of G.
If so, we are not in touch with

25
00:01:44,900 --> 00:01:48,800
our reality, to the extent, we
involve ourselves in the drama

26
00:01:48,900 --> 00:01:53,700
of the holographic World, others
extrapolate, either.

27
00:01:53,700 --> 00:01:57,700
Multiple worlds, that work out
all possible, variations in

28
00:01:57,700 --> 00:02:02,100
life.
Or the coexistence of the past

29
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,900
present and future through the
implications of the theory of

30
00:02:06,900 --> 00:02:12,700
relativity, all of these things
point to an increasing Readiness

31
00:02:12,700 --> 00:02:17,300
for Humanity to recognize that
the traditional objects of our

32
00:02:17,300 --> 00:02:20,300
lives were limited and prepare a
Tori.

33
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,000
And that there is a greater
Destiny and greater life

34
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:30,100
possible and that at some point,
As we awaken to that, we

35
00:02:30,100 --> 00:02:34,600
undertake a reversal of
Consciousness, the shift to a

36
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:40,300
new standpoint and status of
awareness, and begin the next

37
00:02:40,300 --> 00:02:44,800
phase of the evolution of
Consciousness, that we see as a

38
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,000
central thread in the
development of life on Earth to

39
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,900
date. whether one uses the
analogy of the caterpillar

40
00:02:52,900 --> 00:02:58,000
living to eat, then secluding
itself into a sheltered location

41
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,400
and later emerging as a
butterfly, Or the story, the

42
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,700
mother describes about the
development and Awakening into

43
00:03:05,700 --> 00:03:09,500
the outer world of a chick there
examples.

44
00:03:09,500 --> 00:03:13,200
We can see of dramatic
Transformations taking place

45
00:03:13,700 --> 00:03:18,400
that do not show any evidence of
the result until after it is

46
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:24,300
ready and actually occurs.
The mother observes quote.

47
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,500
These are not words, it is
altogether, true that everything

48
00:03:29,500 --> 00:03:34,200
changes its appearance totally
that life and things are

49
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,300
completely different from what
they appear to be.

50
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,700
All this contact, this ordinary
perception of the world loses.

51
00:03:43,700 --> 00:03:48,700
Its reality completely.
This is what appears unreal.

52
00:03:49,100 --> 00:03:55,300
Fantastic illusory.
Non-existent There is something

53
00:03:56,100 --> 00:04:02,000
something very material, very
concrete, very physical, which

54
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,600
becomes the reality of the being
and which has nothing in common

55
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:11,600
with the ordinary way of seeing.
When one has this perception,

56
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,500
the perception of the work of
the Divine force of the

57
00:04:16,500 --> 00:04:20,399
movement, being worked out
behind the appearance in the

58
00:04:20,399 --> 00:04:23,000
appearance through the
appearance.

59
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,500
One begins to be ready to live,
something truer than the

60
00:04:27,500 --> 00:04:33,300
ordinary human falsehood, but
not before there is no

61
00:04:33,300 --> 00:04:34,600
compromise.
You see?

62
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,200
It is not like a convalescence
after an illness.

63
00:04:38,900 --> 00:04:43,600
You must change world's so long
as your mind is real for you

64
00:04:44,300 --> 00:04:50,300
your way of thinking something.
True for you real concrete, it

65
00:04:50,300 --> 00:04:52,400
proves that you are not there
yet.

66
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:58,600
You must first pass through to
the other side afterwards.

67
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,800
You will be able to understand
what I am telling you.

68
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:09,600
Pass through to the other side.
It is not true that one can

69
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,600
understand little by little.
It is not like that.

70
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,600
This kind of progress is
different.

71
00:05:16,900 --> 00:05:19,400
What is more true?
Is that one is, shut up in a

72
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:24,600
shell and inside it, something
is happening like the chick in

73
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,600
the egg, it is getting ready in
there.

74
00:05:28,500 --> 00:05:31,400
It is in there.
One doesn't see it.

75
00:05:32,300 --> 00:05:37,200
Something is happening in the
Shell, but outside one sees

76
00:05:37,300 --> 00:05:40,700
nothing.
And it is only when all is

77
00:05:40,700 --> 00:05:44,700
ready, that there comes the
capacity to pierce the shell.

78
00:05:45,500 --> 00:05:48,200
And to be born into the light of
day.

79
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,000
It is not that one becomes more
and more perceptible or visible

80
00:05:54,700 --> 00:06:00,600
when he's shut in shut-in.
And for sensitive people, there

81
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:05,800
is even that terrible sensation
of being compressed of trying to

82
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:11,100
pass through, and then coming up
against a wall, and then one,

83
00:06:11,100 --> 00:06:15,700
knocks and knocks, and knocks,
and one can't go through.
