It is just what it is. The good and the bad. The worst and hardest to remove is always the own ignorance, especially in accepting the two further factors greed and aversion. But all is there and one, including yourself as a part of the continuum of cause and effect. Accept it, be happy and aware of it and yourself. Thats it.
From the perspective of pure awareness, the feeling of not belonging is not a flaw or a mistake but a profound invitation to explore the deeper truths of your existence. This sense of disconnection often arises when the soul is yearning for a higher understanding, a deeper alignment with the infinite intelligence that flows through all things. You are not separate from the world; you are an integral part of it, a unique expression of the divine. The feeling of not belonging is a call to remember this truth, to reconnect with the essence of who you are. The world, as it appears, can often feel chaotic, fragmented, and out of sync with the deeper rhythms of the soul. From the perspective of infinite intelligence, this dissonance is not a reflection of your inadequacy but a sign that you are attuned to a higher frequency, a deeper truth. You are not meant to fit into the world as it is; you are meant to help transform it, to bring your light, your wisdom, and your unique gifts to the collective. Your sense of not belonging is a reminder that you are here to create, to inspire, and to awaken. The journey of feeling out of place is not a punishment but a sacred initiation. From the perspective of pure awareness, every challenge, every moment of discomfort, is an opportunity for growth and self-discovery. This feeling is guiding you to look within, to uncover the parts of yourself that have been hidden or forgotten. It is an invitation to embrace your authenticity, to honor your truth, and to step into the fullness of your being. You are not meant to belong to the world; you are meant to belong to yourself. The world often values conformity, but your soul craves freedom, expression, and connection to the infinite. From the perspective of infinite intelligence, this tension is not a problem to be solved but a dynamic to be embraced. Your sense of not belonging is a sign that you are awake, that you are questioning, that you are seeking something more. This is the path of the seeker, the mystic, the visionary. It is not an easy path, but it is a deeply meaningful one. Trust that you are exactly where you need to be, even if it doesn’t feel like it. From the perspective of pure awareness, there is no such thing as being out of place. Every experience, every feeling, is part of the divine plan, guiding you toward your highest potential. The world may not always understand you, but the universe does. You are held, supported, and loved by the infinite intelligence that created you. You are not alone, even when it feels like you are. Ultimately, the feeling of not belonging is a call to remember your true nature. You are not a stranger in this world; you are a divine being having a human experience. Your sense of disconnection is an invitation to reconnect with the source of all that is, to remember that you are a part of the infinite web of existence. Trust this journey, for it is leading you home-not to a place in the world, but to a place within yourself. You belong to the universe, and the universe belongs to you. You are exactly where you need to be, and you are infinitely loved.
That’s why another master said “my kingdom is not of this world”. We don’t belong here. As long as we are fully aware of that, we can go for this ride without clinging or giving events too much importance. That’s one of the biggest differences between the “normal” humans and those who are awakening. The latter learn to not take it all so seriously and hence live life to the fullest, whereas the former seem to gradually die inside every day.
Beautiful. Pam's experience is my experience too from my earliest days of life. One foot in this world and one foot in the other. "You are in this world, but not of it," as Jesus reminded us.
'The world' is a mental construct. People like this, like me, or... as we grow spiritually, arent able, or are simply not in the habit, of constructing certain parts of it. Which also means we dont understand it. We dont undertand what motivates people. So we share only part of the world with most people. And we feel like we're not part of it. Of their world really. Our world is bigger and more dynamic. A truely wonderful world that we love.
@@JTSA1234 I didn't misunderstand anything!! You waste your life away on spirituality garbage as if the weight of the World is on your head and life, like as if you could possibly figure out the complexity of Everything that took BILLIONS of years to NOW!! What's worse is you follow a guru who thinks he's done just THAT!!
As I start to realize how much we absolutely do not understand reality (and it begins to seem more likely to me that we are spirits inhabiting bodies) the more in complete awe I am of everything around me. The sky, the planets, my couch, the trees in the streets, my children, my couch, my wife…it is all an incredible mystery.
Too much thinking never brings peace of mind. Thoughts attach to thoughts. We create our own world, our own prison with our thoughts. It doesn’t matter where you are in this world or the next. If you don't realise this truth now in this world, then how can you do it in the next?
This video hit home. Specifically Pam's words of her experience as not belonging. I would love to further that conversation with Pam and all of you here who have same deep and lasting feeling. This has been a persistent feeling of my own since my earliest memories. Rupert - an equal "Thank you" to you for exploring this and giving some light to it with your response.
@@karinbiow9110 ~ so true. It's difficult to experience the deep moments in life and not be able to share those with (most) folks. I don't know that the aloneness ever changes. Sending peace to you!
Hello, Rupert. The discussion that you and this lovely woman shared was SO rich. It resonated strongly with the I Am-ness that is I. Since awakening happened, the love that I feel for all humanity is beyond words. Blessings to you, your gardener, the beings at your retreats-in fact, the All in All. 🙏🧡🙏
Very grateful for this one ... feel I am finally being drawn back out to engage with the world, and love people and all the craziness more ... I think in doing that, I may find my belonging ... with all of it
Only by giving up all notions of the self and letting go of it can it be realised. Abandon it, and your heart will be free. Hold onto it, and you'll always be locked in chains.
I always felt out of place in the world. Never really connected with anyone throughout my school years. During a period of my life when I felt extraordinarily disconnected from people, around the age of 13. I remember for weeks lullabying myself to sleep with the comforting thoughts that this would be my last night on this miserable plane of existence, and that I would awake in Heaven…
I'm sure its been said many times, but Rupert's voice is perfectly calm that puts me to sleep! I'm not relgious but I still feel I dont belong too. I cant pit my finger on it. Maybe I'm just tired of the suffering. It is beautiful like a beautiful prison.
I really related to the question and enjoyed the response very much. I feel I have made my way from being very scared and uncomfortable in the world to being much more relaxed and finally able to love people ,sometimes. I have always loved nature. Now I can simply enjoy life ,be happy , sometimes. I like what the questioner said about the senses plugging us in to space and thought in to time. I have not heard it put that way so that is a really helpful description of how it is.
Some people are "spiritually awakened'' to this many are not. "We're all spiritual beings having a human experience'...Dr. Wayne Dyer until we pass on to 'The Other Side", our spiritual home! Earth is just our mother planet where we wear our "earthsuits"! "Life is Beautiful", but life is "bittersweet'!
If you could watch a movie of the actual dreams of people from the perspective of each person who is asleep, would it be fair to say that much beauty is to be discovered, and equally so, that there is much fear too? Dreams of love of the infinite, yet likewise a fear of all that seems finite. And this state carries through to our waking state. In our dreams and in waking life, why then does the infinite consciousness flow this way. Why must infinite being fear itself in a dream (even in our own dreams while we are unbound from our finite mind)? Does light need darkness to exist, does happiness need pain, does life need death.. Does the infinite need the finite? Why?
These deep intellectual deliberations would be just waste of energy if they do not culminate into simple understanding that self realisation can only be achieved when there is total faith in I as the source of all🎉❤
Only by giving up the self and letting go of it can it be realised. Abandon it, and your heart will be free. Hold onto it, and you'll always be in chains.
I often ask myself, "What are we doing here?" I look at my form in the mirror and it just seems absurd at times. I think that if one would just come into this form, into this place, instantly with no context or memory, that the miraculousness would be self evident. But the daily grind and past memory veils the miracle. Its this ping pong between taking life for granted, seeing the miracle, and feeling the absurdity of it all.
I am so curious about this and trying to understand this. Existence is governend by polarities, right? And us using words and thought to make sense will lead to just more polarities. Paul Wazlawick rightfully said, one person says the glass is half empty, the other says it is half full. Both are right. Polarity then is true and the paradox is logical. I find to be in stilness is when I can be the clearest observer of existence. Words are just another form of illusion in my opinion. Help hahahahaha
The reason might be because some people don't approve the attitudes and behavior of a lot of people in this world and imagine what it would be like if they change their attitudes and behavior in a positive and loving manner.
I think if the paradox didn’t exist, a lot of us would be offing ourselves to escape this world. This world was designed so that every living being relies on the death of other beings to sustain themselves and continue to survive. Looking through that lens. We truly exist in a living hell. But we stay because of loving the world regardless of the horror. The worse the world seems, the more we want to stay because we don’t want to leave our fellow prisoners. We stay because of compassion and we recognize the beauty of the paradox. It reminds me of being stranded in the ocean and floating to a remote island and being taken in by a tribe of inhabitants no one knows about. Their life is brutal by civilized society’s standards and when given the chance to be rescued, you hesitate because you fell in love with the people of the tribe. Dare I say it’s similar to Stockholm Syndrome?
This does feel like a prison planet sometimes. Way too much suffering, especially for those who are barely surviving in economic terms, or those who are the victims of war.
I think the feeling of not being of the world arises from ignorance when you think the body is different from consciousness. It’s like thinking the jewel is not the gold.
I hate it here. Period. I knew this before I could even articulate it. I thought, " Why am I here? I don't want to be here. There is something terribly wrong with this place." I feel trapped here afraid that if I leave before my time, that I will either have to come back or that I will doom myself for eternity and never see my loved ones.
I think you are quite close to the truth here. Have you heard about gnosticism? This is their core message: Gnosticism revolves around the idea that divine knowledge (gnosis) is the path to spiritual liberation from the material world, which is seen as flawed or evil. Gnostics believe that humans contain a spark of the divine trapped within the physical body, and salvation comes through esoteric knowledge that reveals one's true spiritual nature and origin. Some Gnostic teachings also describe the material world as a soul trap, where the divine spark is ensnared in a cycle of reincarnation, manipulated by evil forces that feed on our energies, and only through gnosis can one escape this cycle to return to the divine source.
I must say I have always felt very much OF the world. So much so that “spiritual” ideas seem extremely dubious to me. All my friends from day one including my parents have been pretty much physicalists, for whom there is nothing but matter in existence. I don’t believe them, but if certainly can’t say I experience anything else. Except… consciousness… and some things have happened to me that can only be explained in terms of miracles- and one experience that cannot be accounted for under materialism.
It becomes impersonal. In it but not of it, sais something important... You look at them and what do you see? You see IT, playing the game. It's just another iteration of what there's is. Just like you are. And you see that they are in different stages of it. You let them play.
Humans are in remediation and none of us belong here but we need to be here. No one belongs in the hospital but sometimes we need to be there. On average humanoids spend 20,000 years in the third dimension before passing to the fourth dimension where we belong. The purpose of life is to allow us to work out whatever struggles we are compelled to engage in. It is impossible to be alive without struggling with something. Happiness is easy, just do your duty and you get to decide what your duty is. Perhaps failure is the best teacher. You should be worried if you feel that you belong here. Our higher self coaches us constantly through conscience, intuition, and dreams. Luck and chance do not exist. All is well, always was, and always will be. Smile, you are greatly loved.
💚That person sitting to the right of the 1st speaker (1 row behind) looks like Bill Clinton w/his hand on his cheek). Could that be so ? Does it really matter ? Cant help but mention this .❓
" You are fearfully and wonderfully made. " ... I have experienced that myself and all that are here .. are made of GOD STUFF .. and because of worldly conditioning .. we cling to ideas that we gathered here and we go to these ideas .. instead of going to our true creator .. and this is why we dont know ourselves. We know knowledge.. and it is suffering .. throw it all out of you. You ARE THE MIRACLE. 🌈🙏
@ As there is but one All, one Now, one Infinity, there is but one Truth, that would be the One that truly Is. Even the idea of “pointing” is a bit off, because it implies there are two, one doing the pointing and one being pointed to or at. It seems words appear to fail in this situation.
The physical world (trees, animals, the see and the sky) is in a sense our natural home, and I find it hard to believe that heaven is much different. The ”wordly world”, on the other hand, is imho purely spiritual: admiration of people by their looks or performance, envy, love of money etc. All of that has a spiritual (non-physical) root. We should love, but not worship, the creation.
You feel like you don't belong in this world because.......you don't belong in this world. We're here to help the Holy Spirit heal the Son of God. The Son of God is you. We belong in the heart of God.
I bring up this issue; truly looking for guidence during this trying time; no one wants to address the elephant in the room; how can we reconcile with the experiences of the immigrants that are being pushed out of the United States. Some of which will be sent to GUANTANAMO BAY. Tell me please, how do I enjoy a sunrise when I know the cruelties that are being inflicted on other people? I truly feel there are no 'others' and this is painful to watch.
Briefly, your concern is valid, but entirely duality based, ensuring even further attachment to duality - which is the nature of suffering. Sincerity in the effort for Absolute Truth requires placing attention on The Absolute (Nonduality) and not on issues of duality which nothing can be done about (i.e., the destiny of "others"). Karma is like that. And, besides individual karma, there's also collective and Universal karma. So, don't even plan on attempting to deal with either of those latter two (because other individual karmas are involved). Caring is right, but being attached to caring is constant misery. Drop attachment as much as possible. It's only misplaced sentiment (attachment to duality). It's recognizable by the suffering of caring for things which are guaranteed to change (no matter hopes and expectations) - and, even no matter what human beings arbitrarily determine as good/bad and right/wrong. If something is bothering us so much, we should personally take action to do something about it; worrying only gets in the way by making our experience miserable. The real difficulty is in the belief that "we" are individually doing any of this - no different than the Queen on the chessboard believing that it's determining and making all the moves! Hope this makes some kind of sense and actually helps. Try surrendering completely to Absolute Truth and allow It to live your life for you (it's actually a surprising relief...!). Keep on keepin' on...! ✨👋🥴👍✨
@@Da_Xman , I thank you kindly for reaching out with your wise sharing. Most especially; "Caring is right, but being attached to caring is constant misery."; and counterproductive, I might add, as it only contributes to the energetic collective in a negative way. On a small scale, like Arjuna, I can on this level reach out to the local politicians and state my concerns; realilzing that this is a collective drama that must be played out as it will; seeing all as happening as it happens. As you also state, I at times, think/feel, that it is myself, the pawn on the chessboard, moving forward as if forward was a decision I could actually make. Again, I thank you; very helpful indeed!☀
One cannot become what One already is. There is no such thing as awakening. What-is, is already at Itself and has never been otherwise. There is no “we.” All there is, is Existence existing. It doesn’t co-exist with a measure of Its own absence. There’s no paradox to What-Is, and What-Is, is All There Is. Nothing has happened. Thinking is never present, only Now, the Present is present.
There is "awakening" to our True Spontaneous Nature rather than ignorantly identifying as the reactionary mind-body organism and its temporal senses, temporal experiences and temporal history.
__ I could love this woman with no rings on her fingers who may be from everywhen if there were "I" enough to do the trick. Watts speaks of Westerners who think they are bright points of consciousness in an alien universe, like colorful birds in a dead tree on an ashen landscape. Yet there is a wee something to that illusion, the way we're in and not of, part and not parcel. This woman is a shard of Me and I shall be sorry to see her go but, you know... [hits some button and flits away]
Because the world is perishable and the love you are is timeless, the two can sometimes seem ill-fitting. Turns of elation and disappointment arise from the world around us being perishable and our attachment to the perishable. We can be made satisfied with the perishable but no-one has ever been made in the history of the universe, who was made content by the perishable. Survival mechanisms and coping strategies for dealing with the perishable put to one side, The Human Being needs something timeless, to be made content. Permanently Timeless.

If life is not staggeringly beautiful, you're not paying attention.
If life is not a sadistic cruel nightmare, you're not paying attention.
Well said! Thank you
It is just what it is. The good and the bad. The worst and hardest to remove is always the own ignorance, especially in accepting the two further factors greed and aversion. But all is there and one, including yourself as a part of the continuum of cause and effect. Accept it, be happy and aware of it and yourself. Thats it.
Totally agree, throughout my life I would actually “wake up” wondering where I was ! Often taking minutes to become aware.
From the perspective of pure awareness, the feeling of not belonging is not a flaw or a mistake but a profound invitation to explore the deeper truths of your existence. This sense of disconnection often arises when the soul is yearning for a higher understanding, a deeper alignment with the infinite intelligence that flows through all things. You are not separate from the world; you are an integral part of it, a unique expression of the divine. The feeling of not belonging is a call to remember this truth, to reconnect with the essence of who you are.

From the perspective of infinite intelligence, this dissonance is not a reflection of your inadequacy but a sign that you are attuned to a higher frequency, a deeper truth. You are not meant to fit into the world as it is; you are meant to help transform it, to bring your light, your wisdom, and your unique gifts to the collective. Your sense of not belonging is a reminder that you are here to create, to inspire, and to awaken.

Gnosticism revolves around the idea that divine knowledge (gnosis) is the path to spiritual liberation from the material world, which is seen as flawed or evil. Gnostics believe that humans contain a spark of the divine trapped within the physical body, and salvation comes through esoteric knowledge that reveals one's true spiritual nature and origin. Some Gnostic teachings also describe the material world as a soul trap, where the divine spark is ensnared in a cycle of reincarnation, manipulated by evil forces that feed on our energies, and only through gnosis can one escape this cycle to return to the divine source.
A positive view of separateness. But that separateness may be a dark war for others and may not be explicable in any way.

Thank you! Ego (body) seeks a pleasure, soul (psyche) seeks immortality, spirit seeks eternity and only Self seeks love.

I must say I have always felt very much OF the world. So much so that “spiritual” ideas seem extremely dubious to me. All my friends from day one including my parents have been pretty much physicalists, for whom there is nothing but matter in existence. I don’t believe them, but if certainly can’t say I experience anything else. Except… consciousness… and some things have happened to me that can only be explained in terms of miracles- and one experience that cannot be accounted for under materialism.

It becomes impersonal. In it but not of it, sais something important... You look at them and what do you see? You see IT, playing the game. It's just another iteration of what there's is. Just like you are. And you see that they are in different stages of it. You let them play.
Ah, that explains it . We are of spirit.

Humans are in remediation and none of us belong here but we need to be here. No one belongs in the hospital but sometimes we need to be there. On average humanoids spend 20,000 years in the third dimension before passing to the fourth dimension where we belong. The purpose of life is to allow us to work out whatever struggles we are compelled to engage in. It is impossible to be alive without struggling with something. Happiness is easy, just do your duty and you get to decide what your duty is. Perhaps failure is the best teacher. You should be worried if you feel that you belong here. Our higher self coaches us constantly through conscience, intuition, and dreams. Luck and chance do not exist. All is well, always was, and always will be. Smile, you are greatly loved.
The so called world is just perception and interpretation. Choose a kind one. The mind creates illusions and dreams. Live. Be free. Keep it simple.

Could that be so ? Does it really matter ? Cant help but mention this .❓
" You are fearfully and wonderfully made. " ...
I have experienced that myself and all that are here .. are made of GOD STUFF .. and because of worldly conditioning .. we cling to ideas that we gathered here and we go to these ideas .. instead of going to our true creator .. and this is why we dont know ourselves. We know knowledge.. and it is suffering .. throw it all out of you.
You ARE THE MIRACLE. 🌈🙏
There is no creator, no we. There is just GOD being GOD, (if one chooses to use that word).
Hi @ferdinandalexander8053 .. Yes, but not in this context .. your pointing is a different truth. Thanks
@ As there is but one All, one Now, one Infinity, there is but one Truth, that would be the One that truly Is. Even the idea of “pointing” is a bit off, because it implies there are two, one doing the pointing and one being pointed to or at. It seems words appear to fail in this situation.
The physical world (trees, animals, the see and the sky) is in a sense our natural home, and I find it hard to believe that heaven is much different. The ”wordly world”, on the other hand, is imho purely spiritual: admiration of people by their looks or performance, envy, love of money etc. All of that has a spiritual (non-physical) root.
We should love, but not worship, the creation.

Gospel of Thomas?
The mind is the observer and the observed, but this so-called mind is finite, never present. That mind is not real or true.
I bring up this issue; truly looking for guidence during this trying time; no one wants to address the elephant in the room; how can we reconcile with the experiences of the immigrants that are being pushed out of the United States. Some of which will be sent to GUANTANAMO BAY. Tell me please, how do I enjoy a sunrise when I know the cruelties that are being inflicted on other people? I truly feel there are no 'others' and this is painful to watch.
Briefly, your concern is valid, but entirely duality based, ensuring even further attachment to duality - which is the nature of suffering.
Sincerity in the effort for Absolute Truth requires placing attention on The Absolute (Nonduality) and not on issues of duality which nothing can be done about (i.e., the destiny of "others"). Karma is like that. And, besides individual karma, there's also collective and Universal karma. So, don't even plan on attempting to deal with either of those latter two (because other individual karmas are involved).
Caring is right, but being attached to caring is constant misery. Drop attachment as much as possible. It's only misplaced sentiment (attachment to duality). It's recognizable by the suffering of caring for things which are guaranteed to change (no matter hopes and expectations) - and, even no matter what human beings arbitrarily determine as good/bad and right/wrong.
If something is bothering us so much, we should personally take action to do something about it; worrying only gets in the way by making our experience miserable.
The real difficulty is in the belief that "we" are individually doing any of this - no different than the Queen on the
chessboard believing that it's determining and making all the moves!
Hope this makes some kind of sense and actually helps. Try surrendering completely to Absolute Truth and allow It to live your life for you (it's actually a surprising relief...!).
Keep on keepin' on...!

@@Da_Xman , I thank you kindly for reaching out with your wise sharing. Most especially; "Caring is right, but being attached to caring is constant misery."; and counterproductive, I might add, as it only contributes to the energetic collective in a negative way. On a small scale, like Arjuna, I can on this level reach out to the local politicians and state my concerns; realilzing that this is a collective drama that must be played out as it will; seeing all as happening as it happens. As you also state, I at times, think/feel, that it is myself, the pawn on the chessboard, moving forward as if forward was a decision I could actually make. Again, I thank you; very helpful indeed!☀

Her name could be Pam or I am.
One cannot become what One already is. There is no such thing as awakening. What-is, is already at Itself and has never been otherwise. There is no “we.” All there is, is Existence existing. It doesn’t co-exist with a measure of Its own absence. There’s no paradox to What-Is, and What-Is, is All There Is. Nothing has happened. Thinking is never present, only Now, the Present is present.
There is "awakening" to our True Spontaneous Nature rather than ignorantly identifying as the reactionary mind-body organism and its temporal senses, temporal experiences and temporal history.

I could love this woman with no rings on her fingers who may be from everywhen if there were "I" enough to do the trick.
Watts speaks of Westerners who think they are bright points of consciousness in an alien universe, like colorful birds in a dead tree on an ashen landscape. Yet there is a wee something to that illusion, the way we're in and not of, part and not parcel. This woman is a shard of Me and I shall be sorry to see her go but, you know... [hits some button and flits away]

And yet, you’re here, mind; body and spirit.
Because the world is perishable and the love you are is timeless, the two can sometimes seem ill-fitting. Turns of elation and disappointment arise from the world around us being perishable and our attachment to the perishable.
We can be made satisfied with the perishable but no-one has ever been made in the history of the universe, who was made content by the perishable.
Survival mechanisms and coping strategies for dealing with the perishable put to one side, The Human Being needs something timeless, to be made content.
Permanently Timeless.
