HOW TO FIND GOD? (Alsibar's answer)

Alsibar is a researcher who has extensively studied spiritual guides, and regarding the question "How to find God?", he gave the following answer in this video:

 

And here's my translation:

« Today I'm going to talk about how to find God; it's a very interesting topic, without a doubt."

The first thing we must keep in mind is that you can only find or search for something that has been lost. And the question is: when was God lost?

So how can you search for something that may not have been lost?

It's like my car key, it's here, but I start looking for it in other places.

Actually, the key isn't lost; it's here. I just didn't know where to look. The same applies to God. God can't be found or sought because He was never lost.

Another thing implicit in this question is the idea that God is suddenly in some fixed place in the universe, I don't know where, maybe millions of light-years away from us.

But that's also a flawed premise, because if the universe is here, then life is here. If everything is here, then God is here too, because God is in everything. He is omnipresent.

If God is not here, then things cease to exist. God is the sustaining force, the power, the light and the energy, the intelligence that keeps the entire universe in constant motion and functioning, including the human universe.

Unfortunately, people don't understand that if God is omnipresent, He is in everything, even within us. And if He is within us, why don't we see Him? Why don't we feel Him? Why don't we receive His presence?

The other problem implicit in this question, which in my opinion is the wrong question, is that there is a path, a way, something to do, something to practice, the ultimate technique, for man to find God. But does it really exist? Is there a metric? Is there a path?

Because this possibility would only exist if God were someone in a fixed place in the universe. It's completely absurd to look at what nature has shown humanity. Just look at the universe and see that everything is in harmony, everything is functioning, everything is wonderful, perfect, and everything is very intelligent. So God can't be outside of all that.

Actually, He is in all of that because He is the one who sustains the life of cells, the life of birds, the movement of the stars, the creation of the universe, etc. So this idea of ​​"I'm going to find God" is incorrect.

God is already here; you just need to learn to open the eyes of your mind. So, if God is already here, and we don't see Him because we don't feel Him, it's simple: it's because of our beliefs, our opinions, our thoughts, what we mistakenly believe.

We place God in a distant place, high up, when above there is only the firmament, the universe, the stars, the galaxies, and even less down below, where there are only stars, not even after having a ball suspended in space, which is one of the most fantastic things in the world.

This perfection of the movement of the universe would be sufficient to point to the existence of an intelligent force, the present intelligent power that directs, maintains and coordinates everything.

So to find God, you need to understand that God isn't a being located somewhere in the universe. That's the first thing you must understand: that He is in every corner, in every place, in all things, and also within each one of us.

To find it, you have to go beyond all description, beyond all thought and definition, beyond all belief. And there is only one way to do that: when the mind is silent.

When the mind is silent, then it is open to the possibility of this encounter with God, because as long as your mind is not silent, it will be full of words and thoughts of anxiety and worry.

But God is that which is beyond all understanding, beyond all words, beyond all definition and description. Therefore, only in the silence of the mind, in inner peace and stillness, can you glimpse this encounter.

And this encounter is possible, and for that, you have to learn how your mind works, understand its limitations. Understanding and learning to live with that infinite inner space that exists within you—it is in that inner space of silence and peace where suddenly something that is not a product of thought, something that is not a product of desire, something that is sacred, that exists by itself, can happen.

So become aware of this, and the presence of God will come on its own with understanding.

We are so accustomed to society, to worries, to the hustle and bustle of life, that we don't learn to be silent; and this anxiety, this rush, these worries and thoughts limit our ability to find something bigger, something greater than thought, something beyond thought.

God cannot be sought in any way; to say that death cannot reach Him, and yet He comes to us, as Jesus said, "Let the door be opened," and He is already here. But the problem is that we do not open the door of understanding, the door of wisdom and comprehension, so that He can come.

Then, one day, when you least expect it, when perhaps you are not even thinking about it, you suddenly feel the presence of something greater, a light of love, peace and compassion, and a state of union with all things and all beings.

It's a unique state, a description of this state: it's something divine, something tender, something blessed that suddenly manifests. This can last a second, it can last a day, it can last a month, it can last years; you are the one who attracts it. Just relax; this thing happens independently of you, and then when it's over, it's over.

Then go on with your life, meditate, immerse yourself in silence, do not be anxious to relive this experience because you cannot produce it or cause it, you cannot force God to manifest Himself, He is not of the field of knowledge, He is not of the field of the mind, and He is not of the field of desire or thought.

It is precisely when thoughts, desire, worries, the anxiety of winning, all of that ceases, and suddenly He comes.

And when He comes, you have no doubt that something different, something so fundamental, really happened.

Thank you so much for today, I hope you enjoyed it. Today I talked about how to find it; it's said that it can only be found in a fundamental, natural way, and that behavior—silence, tranquility, being here—is key. Thank you so much, may God be with you, and until next time »

COMMENTS

Flora: Misconceptions and so many illusions distance us from Being.

That we may merge with the stillness of the Being that Is.

Fabricio: Perhaps when we "find" God we will feel connected to everything and everyone.

Oscar: Hi Alsibar. Do you have any videos that talk about the natural silencing of the mind? About the power of the mind and the control of the ego in this quest?

Alsibar:  Hi Oscar, regarding the natural silencing of the mind, that's not the specific topic. But I always mention that the mind can only be silenced naturally.

Regarding the "power of the mind and ego" and its control, I believe it's an extension of the first point; that is, neither the mind nor the ego can control this process. Which is to say: silence arises naturally with self-understanding.

But I'll think about making a more specific video about that. Thanks for the suggestion! Best regards.

John: In silence we find our direction, to return to oneness. Every path is different, and this is where we need to step away from all the world's conditioning and learn to follow our inner guidance. To be honest with ourselves and begin doing, or stop doing, what truly moves us. But it requires much honesty and trial-and-error practice to separate truth from falsehood within ourselves, and perhaps the help of someone more advanced.

CID OBSERVATION

The masters mentioned something similar, and so for example, teacher Pasteur pointed out that "the sound of God is a great silence."
