I am Ray, and congratulations, you are about to enter into God mode. But you better use this wisely, or I swear to God, I will not be responsible for your shenanigans.
You see, if you did not know this, we are entering into a golden age. Like, um, what's her name? Betty. Mrs. Betty. I got to figure that out. You know what I'm talking about. Who is the old person named Betty? Betty White. Yes. Thank you, JBT. Technology. Why is this, you might ask? It's because for the first time in human history, so many people are waking up to their God power and the realization that they can actually control their reality with their mind, and they don't have to spend their life grinding, struggling their whole life away for scraps. People are entering into royal consciousness and away from beggar consciousness. I think I spelled that wrong. I failed.
What is beggar consciousness, you might ask? Beggar consciousness is any kind of thought or mentality or belief or opinion that what you desire is outside of you. It's giving your power away to forces outside of your control. Like saying, "Well, it's the government. It's the economy. It's Fouchy. He did it again." Darn it, Fouchy. Oh, great example that people use all the time is like, "If only I had more money, then everything would be better." But as Jim Carrey once said, "I wish that everyone could get everything they ever wanted in this life, just to realize that it wasn't actually what they wanted from the very beginning." It wasn't. You can get everything you want in this life, and it will not be enough. It's not enough to fill that gaping void within you. It's not.
But when you enter into royal consciousness, you live from a place of natural satisfaction. So you're no longer grasping at things, like grasping at cheeks. "Give me those cheeks. I need those." No more, say you, because you know you will get no big booty Latinas that way. I promise. They require a king or a queen, I guess. Think about it. All of these different people realizing that they have the ability to be the cause of their reality and not just reacting to things as they unfold. That your external circumstance is already relevant, and you are the one that says, "This will be true for me," and whatever I do not want to be true, I will push it away from my reality. And I don't mean running away from your problems. I mean, if you want to live in abundance, you can't focus on the fact that you're broke, because that's going to make you feel broke, and you'll be in beggar consciousness. You already know where that leads you.
The problem is, we do not know ourselves. Because if you knew who you truly were, you could not give your power away. It would not be possible. It is not possible. Why is it not possible? Because it is ignorant to believe that what you desire is outside of you. And once you are awake to the truth, you no longer get pulled around by the illusion. Meaning you can rest in your own being, your own natural self, right here, right now. And you can live from this state. And from this state arises peace and satisfaction, because in you is the source of all things, is God. Did you not listen to Jesus? You have not been reading your Bible. He said, "The kingdom of God is in you." But have you been looking? I'm disappointed. Maybe you need an alcoholic beverage before bedtime as well. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Natural flavor. Where were we? Who knows?
The funny thing is, royal consciousness is the state of just being, and nothing else. It's like, um, there was this book at some point called "The King, Magician, Lover, Something Else, Warrior." But here's what it actually means practically, right? Because what does this even mean in the first place? What does what does this even mean? So, being is the royal state. Doing is like the warrior state. I never read the book. So, feeling is like the lover state. Let's say you see a lot of people are in this state right here. What is the whole mission behind the warrior? You want some result. So, you got to go do a whole bunch of stuff to get that result. "This is what I need. This is what needs to happen. And I got to make it happen." But think about the royal state. Think about a king or a queen. What do they do? They literally just sit on their throne and do nothing but give orders, and the kingdom arranges itself. You have to give yourself a pay raise, my friend. Stop being the warrior so much. Command the army, because the warrior, its whole life is about discipline and hard work and doing a lot, which is great. It's wonderful. You don't want to get rid of the warrior. You need it to protect the kingdom. But you, your position from life, you want to sit on the throne, because when you, when you're in this state, you can command reality without needing to struggle so much.
So here's how this actually looks. This takes practice, because we spent our whole lives as beggars thinking that what we want is outside of ourselves, and it's not. First things first, being present moment. Being in the present moment. Like, you can do it right now. Just think about it. Just feel your body. Feel the sensation of being. You are alive. No, I hope you are. Maybe a zombie is watching this. In that case, well, I wonder if they have a sense of being. I don't know. But you can literally experience the sensation of your existence right here, right now. You close your eyes and you just see, "Okay, I'm here. I'm here." You're here, right? Have you clicked off this video already? Short attention span. Darn it. You have to tap into your natural presence, the state of being. Your natural state of being in the present moment.
Whereas most of us live our whole lives in our thoughts, thinking about life, about life. Like, think about it, but not too much, because, well, you wake up, you look in the mirror, you say, "Oh, I am this person. This is who I am. Uh, this is my job. This is how much money I make. This is what I do for fun. This is these are my hobbies. This is my friends. These are my families." All a whole bunch of psychological information about who you are. And yet, if you close your eyes right now, you will see all of that stuff is nothing but memory. But what is true right here? Presence. The present moment is the only thing that is true. And you are here, existing in the present moment. Not as a person, not as a bundle of concepts, not as a, not as a thought, but as pure being. That is your true and royal state. It's not that complicated. It's just we live our whole lives not realizing that it's even there. It's so close to our face that it's hidden in plain sight all the time, our whole life.
This is why I say at the end of every video, "Just be," because this is your royal state. You don't need to do anything to just be. You just got to stop doing stuff psychologically, not externally. So, like in the spiritual path and stuff like that, there's eventually you'll come across this idea of non-doership, or maybe you've heard the idea of "do nothing, get everything." This is what they're talking about. They're not talking about you just sit on the couch all day and eat Cheetos and do nothing. It's like, before enlightenment, you chop wood and carry water, and after enlightenment, you chop wood and carry water. Except you psychologically are not existing as a person chopping wood. You're not existing as a person carrying water. You, you just are one with the action. You're at one with life. You're just here. Life is expressing itself. It just is. It's not this is, and a whole bunch of psychological drama on top of that, like how most people live. That is beggar consciousness, because we're not living the truth. We're living fantasies in our mind about what we think life is. "This person is like this. This person did this thing to me. This is what I want for my future. This is what I've done in the past." It's all imagination and memory. But what is true? This moment is true. And this moment is true because it is always the present moment. And you are always here in the present moment. You are never not in the present moment. You see, but your thoughts change all the time. Your body changes all the time. Your personality changes. But you are always here, right here, right now, in the present moment.
So, what we want to do, as Muji would say, we want to go from living as a person to living as presence. Personhood, like, "I am this kind of person. This is what I do. These are all the stories and my beliefs and my opinions." That is beggar consciousness. It is identification with this tiny little aspect of you, of who you are, and you have forgotten your true and royal nature. And once you step into that new identity, even though it's not an identity, you inherit the kingdom of abundance. You see, you were born with a bank account with billions of dollars and everything you've ever desired in this life. But the person has to struggle to get it, because they are a beggar. But all that you desire already exists to the royal version of you. That is your true nature.
So, what you find is, if you really experience yourself in this present moment, not as a thought, not as a person, but what you truly are, you stop identifying with a person over time, because it's like somebody calls you somebody else's name. It's not your name, but you answer it and you're like, "Yes, that's me." And then you remember, "Oh, wait, that's not me." And this happens over and over again. You go throughout your daily life. Life puts pressure on you. You forget your royal nature. You enter back into beggar consciousness. And in that moment, you gain some awareness. And you realize, "Oh, I've been triggered. I'm suffering. I'm really frustrated that life isn't going my way right now." And then you return to presence. You return to being. You build the habit. That's all this is. It's just a habit. You break the habit of being your ego, and you build the habit of just being, nothing else. And then you live from this state. And you will see that life begins working out effortlessly, because there's no longer you getting in the way. Life is already perfect.
But like a river, we experience frustration and struggle because we're trying to go where the river is not going. We, through our ego, want to be other than where we are. We say, "I don't like it here. I'm going to be over there." "That's where the big booties are, and the big booties are not here." Not now, anyway. So, we get frustrated. But think about it. This literal madness to ever want to be other than where you are, because you're always right here. So, it doesn't make any sense. The only logical decision to ever make in this life is surrendering to the present moment and accepting all that is.
Now, it's kind of weird for most people, because everyone's living from the little ego. This ego, this person, enslaves us, keeps us trapped in the prison of our mind. That is the only prison in existence. Think about it. Somebody says, "I really wish I didn't have to work for money. I wish I didn't have to live in this capitalist society." That's a thought. But because we're so used to believing that our thoughts are reality, we say, "Yeah, that's just the way it is. That's just the way it is. You can't do nothing about it." Not realizing that it's just a thought. And then the mind comes in and says, "Well, no, that's how that's reality. That's how it is. You can't be denying reality like this." Not realizing that. No. Look, look, look. Close your eyes. Where is capitalist society? Where is money? Where's this concept? Where's this story? That is so true, that is so imprisoning our lives.
Even if you have some kind of person in your life that frustrates you, like a boss, you don't like your boss. Think about it. The boss is just an idea in your head. And then when you go into work, you're facing a human being that you judge and label as boss. And because you judge and label them and have all of this memory, all of these stories associated with them, you're already primed to get triggered by whatever it is they do and say. And if you return to presence, when you practice this, when you allow yourself to just be, you begin observing reality as it is, and you stop observing reality through this filtered lens, this prejudice, this bias of all of these stories and all of these ideas of what you think is true. And you just see it for what it is. And guess what? That person no longer triggers you anymore, at least over time, because you're no longer identifying with the person getting triggered, and you're actually experiencing life for the first time as it is, unfiltered.
You stabilize in this presence. It's like digging your roots like a tree. You're digging them deep so that no matter what storms of life come, you won't be blown away. You won't be swept away by the stuff that happens, you won't be swept away by your thoughts or your emotions or the people or the world around you. Everything, any thought, any experience is irrelevant to this. Because when you connect to your natural radiance, your natural presence in this moment, you're connecting to the eternal aspect of what you are. Because the present moment is eternal, you are also eternal, if you did not know this. But we believe in death and all that jazz because we believe we're a changing individual, and all that changes dies. So, the point is, there is an aspect of you, the aspect of you that is eternal spirit, that is invulnerable. It cannot die and it cannot be damaged by any experience. It cannot be touched by any thought. Your body can die. Your mind can be tortured. But you, fundamentally as eternal, are already everlastingly free. I don't think I said that right. You are already in everlasting freedom, everlasting peace, and even joy, love, and abundance.
Well, we are like wandering through a desert. We're trying to find water. Water. Where's my water? Thirsty. Really thirsty. And yet, there's a grand oasis right here. We're just not looking at it, because like a fish in water, the truth is so close to us that we don't see it. It's so, as I like to say, the truth is like your nose. Often the only way to see it is by looking in the mirror. You must find your true self, not as a person, not as an idea. You close your eyes and you find out what is true in this moment, and you reconnect to your royal nature. And all you got to do is keep, keep being here. Just be here now, as Ramdas would say. And all the spiritual teachings tell you the same thing. Just be here. Because when you're just here, you're connecting to life, and you're returning to the source of harmony itself. And your outer reality is a reflection of what is within. So, all of the problems, all of the struggles, all of the difficulties are nothing other than reflections of your own inner disharmony. What is a problem? It's literally the absence of harmony. So, all you got to do is bring harmony back into the equation by finding it within yourself, and then the external things will take care of themselves. Themselves. Come on. They're so close. It's right here. Actually, the treasure that you seek is already underneath you. The X marks the spot. And as St. Francis of Assisi said, "What you are looking for is already where you are looking from." There's no trickery here. It's just the mind wants to grasp at something. But you are not a thing. You are. And this is not a philosophical thing. This is just a signpost pointing to the truth that you have to experience for yourself, because until then, it's just some fancy idea that doesn't mean anything, and you won't experience real results in your life. But once you know, you know. And it's just a series of forgetting and remembering, and forgetting and remembering, until you stop forgetting altogether. Start your journey to abundance today.
