Francis answers six questions submitted by a Japanese journalist.
0:00
3:00 Is it true that you have said that the ego is an object that can be perceived?
6:59 How would you describe our true nature?
9:51 Is there something I can do to change the relationship with ego to help me realize my true nature?
12:54 Is ignorance an obstacle to awakening?
15:14 How to deal with ignorance in reactions?
19:50 What is it like after realization?

It would have to arouse more doubts about your credibility in people so that they start to think seriously and independently about things instead of relying on your infallibility over and over again. People are so sure that you can give them the answer that they never know how they can come up with it. The biggest problem is not realizing that you are never separated from the answers. That Francis is an option to get to the truth, but also that you can become Francis for your whole life. There are certainly good questions and the feeling that you have to ask them, but sometimes patience and attention is another good and much deeper way of getting your question answered. And if you recognize your answer directly in life, you have swallowed it completely. You could save yourself a lot of time and uncertainty if you just stop believing that Francis is a body. It is one of billions of ways for the truth to be expressed. It is one of my favorite species, admittedly, but I am increasingly noticing that in general there is often some laziness, impatience and uncertainty in the questions in relation to getting the answer itself answered in my own mind. Only then does the truth come alive in us and from theory to practice :) Greetings from Germany with infinite love and gratitude :)

I'd like to add by mentioning that if you must read your question, and do Not digest the answer before asking another silly question. Man! You are the issue with communications in humans. You can't even think of an original question. The division between ones who see the clear truth, and ones like the questioning lady had. The gap is absolutely huge! What makes you desire with bated breathe, to ask silly, dead ending questions? That's my question to anyone who asks what they already know!? Or, they desire to bring to world down, or these people/humans are simply pp awns in a game they know nothing about. I think the latter. What a shame. Very very hard on the few whom remain. Today I see not 1 awoken person. All are so full of hate and desire to bring others down. That's all I see them do, very few are with it, and hardly anyone is moving the pieces! Must become a player, an actor, not the capitulation seen around the world. It's so very obvious what's occurred, courage is too needed.

Wasn’t Hitler or Stalin, as far as our perception of them, more of a collective projection than a personal Ego? A universal appearance and outbreak of suppressed collective aggressions?

_ It depends from what perspective one approaches this. _ If consciousness is all there is then there is nothing else - thus neither ego nor body nor mind exist. _ From that perspective, what we call our life experience, is merely an illusion, like a mirage of water in the desert. _ If, however, one considers that there are body/minds that act and react in a physical universe of stars, planets and that there are people that can act from ego so as to cause harm to others, then that view presents an oxymoron to that which has been spoken of as omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent consciousness. _ If such consciousness is REALITY then persons and ego is merely an appearance, a dream "reality" which vanishes upon awakening.
