A conversation with Rupert Spira about the sense of lack, happiness, relationships and intimacy.
From an early age Rupert was deeply interested in the nature of Reality. For twenty years he studied the teachings of Ouspensky, Krishnamurti, Rumi, Shankaracharya, Ramana Maharshi, Nisargadatta and Robert Adams, until he met his teacher, Francis Lucille, twelve years ago. Francis introduced Rupert to the teaching of Jean Klein, Parmenides, Wei Wu Wei and Atmananda Krishnamenon and, more importantly, directly indicated to him the true nature of experience.
Rupert’s first book is “The Transparency of Things,” subtitled “Contemplating the Nature of Experience”. His second book, “Presence Volume I The Art of Peace and Happiness and Presence Volume II The Intimacy of All Experience” has been currently released by Non-Duality Press. non-duality.rup...
Such wisdom is indeed rare.
Wonderful
Absolutely true. Fortunately I have found this out 30 yrs into a marriage that is now dissolved. I thought I had lost my whole world when I called time on this ill fitting marriage, to still be living together 2 yrs later on exactly these new "terms" and I have never felt such relief, happiness and joy as when I chose to release another of what I believed only he was meant to bring me. We are not sexually intimate but this feeling has me feeling more intimacy than the day I married him strangely. I thought I'd lost love..but found a truer deeper version of it 🙏
Helpfull as always. Thank You Rupert!
in Buddhism the first realisation is called stream entry, and lists three of ten fetters which are shed with that revelatory realisation. Thereafter, the stages of progress described by Rupert also develop, as we see further and develop the causes of further realisations, and awakening. yes there are stages of awakening, because the causes have to be assembled, for the last 'penny to drop'. An apple tree may have five red apples all looking ripe on the tree, but we cannot predict which apple will fall before the other, nor when it will fall. IN the same way, we cannot predict when the causes of awakening will have accumulated, but hard work, self honesty, and deep introspection onto the influence of the senses, our views, the conditioned nature of our views and reactions, emotions, their influence, and so on, to see how all of those processes are not self, and that only emptiness, luminous awareness is present constantly, the rest, is all coming and going.
Very wise man he is!
Nicely said. True Altruism does not exist everything we do is to satisfy our own desires. Even if we are helping others and even if we are doing it "non profit" we still are doing it to satisfy Ourselves. People who do not realize this live the most unhappy lives because they constantly strive to "do good" to everybody else constantly forgetting their own needs.
+Luccas Faun true ! I just would not type "satisfy Ourselves" with that capital O (haha) ; Ourself or "our Self" does not need to be satisfied, the plan in your example being only to satisfy the ego, which is not the Self, so we try to satisfy "ourselves" (as separate egoic entities). :D
+Luccas Faun Lets simply say that we are selfish and we can probably come up with a host of reasons why we are and why it is practical. We can approach it as a normal way to function, or look at the limitations of that way of thinking and behaving as well as the illusory aspects of assuming that we actually could be or function without other people. In other words, no matter how self-centered we may be, existing as monad that is truly independent as self-sustaining is revealed to be a delusion, at the best.
Well, that recognition and the acknowledgement of the pros and cons of a self centered approach to life can actually allow for insights into the problem and help us to find real benefits in not being constrained by a limited idea of being an encapsulated, separated "self" inside. We could say that our mind is not in our head, but our head is in our mind as an example.
One way to deal with the dilemma of self cherishing, (which includes the problem of wanting to be seen as good or wanting to get something out of the process) is to simply expand the scope and dimension to include others within the definition. That is not difficult and it can easily yield an actual sensation or experience of opening up, which is more akin to our true nature in relative terms.
+Ernest Weber i guess self cherishing won't be an issue any longer for the one who succeeds living/making real the theory of non-duality, i.e. that 'the head is in our mind', to use your example and that the mind is just a thought known by awareness and such cherishing the little self is just a misleading illusion that leads to suffering in the end.
They are not forgetting their own needs, Lucas, as their prime drive to help others is their need and that's what they fulfil. Therefore they feel happy, till the time when this thing which made them happy, turns out to be the very thing that causes their pain later on. There's no such thing as the most unhappy life, for a comparison is your own lie.
Non-duality is just like you said a theory, concept. The fact is, that while people teach, try to understand, talk and seek non-duality, duality they live.
great.
Brilliant ❤️
Excellent!
Such a divine being
True I experienced it
Beautiful 🙏🏻🍀
TYVM4 this share!
Illusion of the person, is the core of duality.
Happiness comes from the ego being pampered, whereas sadness comes from these conditionings ( Superego ) but its the Spirit that gives us the JOY! Joy is a Singular! ego and Superego are the flipside of the same coin, " I like to drink but tomorrow I dont like the headache! " We like through the ego and dislike through the Superego! But joy is different Joy comes from the Spirit!
+Vizvamurti emotions are just 'wishes'...unfulfilled wishes! But Love is different, love is dynamic, it is not an emotion, it acts!
+Vizvamurti The only way to overcome the ego and super ego, is to achieve our Self Realisation, to BECOME the Self, our true Self, the Spirit, which we are, but also which we must BECOME! Becoming is the point! All the Scriptures have said this samething! Self Realisation, Where our Attention becomes enlightened by the Spirit, the Spirit comes into the attention, then we become the witness, the witness of this ego and these conditionings! We are no longer 'In it' like when we are in the sea, we are in it, but once we enter into the boat, then we become a witness of the sea and the sea then becomes an illusion! When we say "I like this" "I am happy" I,I,I ....who IS this 'I' , which is happy, or sad? ....it is the ego! We are ALL seeking something, but what we are truly seeking, is our Spirit! Because it's the Only thing that can give us 'Complete' peace and Satisfaction, because it's absolute! We become Innocent! Happiness and unhappiness is a duality, but JOY comes from the Spirit!
One would easily be mislead, they are attending the church while reading this thread:/ The only way to save yourselves! The self! The spirit! The realisation! The almighty empty words:/ Joy doesn't come from spirit. Joy is the life itself. You yourself. What you perceive as you. Not your made up version of yourself, which you named graciously The spirit. And no sir, not everyone seeks.
What about fulfilling loneliness rather than attempting to gain happiness through a partner?
does anyone know what the cello piece is in the beginning?
I saw that you can purchase some video s from rupert, has someone done this? Is it it wise thing to do so? Is it worth it? Sorry for my english😳
+mordi thank you i will. You are right. But i was afraid that i couldnt understand
+chimenerf If is so much free content from people like Rupert Spira. I've never found I've run out of content on youtube before I've lost interest. Have a look at Jeff Foster, Adyashanti, Eckhart Tolle and even Osho, if you like Rupert Spira.
Buy the light of pure knowing. His yoga metidations are just from the other world. I begin to understand what i am and it's totally posibly to do, just seeing his videos and doing his yoga meditations.
Koann were and how can i do that? On his website
Yes. Or through amazon
That be like Adi Da that first bit...seeking winding down
💙🙏
Found it 24
May I please know the name and composer of the piano music at the intro? Thank you!
+sistercookies

Does it mean that, if I've realized my Self, my true nature, I can live with an unloving, cold partner happily ever after?
no, you can't live with someone who doesn't love you and expect to derive pleasure from those circumstances, but what it does mean is that you won't have to worry about obtaining pleasure anymore.
I think yes. You can live. There is nothing impossible for a self realized being.
It's all good and well, but it doesn't pay the rent or mortgage...
just know that you are one with the universe
and it knows your needs very well
if you love it
it will love you back
You're the definition of lost
@@jfhow if you love it
, it will love you back " Does this mean that the universe love is conditional? It will love us only if we love it? I think the universe should listen to Robert Spira and get rid of this demand that prevents intimacy :)
The world has been made to see Mama as womb man birthing men who are created in god. My true nature is Wawa life is created in born to me Mama. This is my name and who I am. Man does not own me. He was made in a petri dish. Dada is my husband. BaBa's are put children.

Very true
This is the true nature of a lovely human being
This guy is definatley one of the best teachers pointing us the way, his explanations are not riddles and he provides such clarity
He’s the best!
I love your videos. And i thank you from the depth of my heart. I salute you.
I am meditating for the last few years now. And now I feel I am aware of my awareness as it is the only and only fulfillment of my life.

‘True intimacy’ is important. But the requirement, sine qua non there can be no workable relationship, is an absence of conflict.
If we stop considering ourselves as separate entities, why would we seek to enter into intimate relationships with another (an other)? There would still have to be a me and a you for it to be considered a 'relationship' in the traditional sense. And why the need to express intimacy in this way at all if we are already one? Surely life itself would be the intimacy.
davecub To celebrate life
To love just for the sake of loving. No requirements. Unconditional love.
It's awesome, so nice, wonderful, thank you so much
Rupert is such a wonderful teacher! I would love to attend one of his retreats
Hi there have you gone through his website? You can join his weekend online zoom retreats and there is a sliding scale payment system which I used to help me get a "supported ticket" to join, as I am in financial hardship presently. Hope to see you there one day friend 🙏
Thank you, Rupert. Thank you. ❤️
I'm pretty sure if you completely realize your true nature, not just intellectually but absolutely realize it 100%, then you exit at sahasrara and leave your body. Vivekananda's Guru predicted this about him. I'm convinced many many many spiritual people reach a level they haven't tasted before then think they are fully realized. Nothing wrong just I feel we should never believe we reached somewhere or attained something but rather keep seeking until we find the absolute real truth, not just words pointing to concepts that make logical sense and satisfy our intellectual curiosity but the absolute real truth which dissolves the longing to know something higher
All is one, there is not two.
You know it already, you know it’s true.
You can look and look but there’s nothing to find
The truth’s just been hidden by the chatter of your mind.
Oneness is here, now - not somewhere above
Oneness is All, oneness is LOVE.
See it and a smile on your face will appear
Your life filled with JOY and nothing to fear.
Just found out about Rupert and looking to find the true one, this video helps a lot looking a different way in what I would love to share in a relationship. Gratefull to find this it helps relieving my urge to desperatly seek for one and rather start at myself 🙏
The first implication of realising your true nature is that you dont pay taxes anymore. But its not that point which matters, the important point is you begin to talk with that kind of voice, deep voice vibrating in the X plan of "reality". That is very important. Whatever you say, say it with a deep deep voice, and every body would be happy. Namaste.
What’s up with this melancholic tragic music lol, lighten up !
I lose my happy in arrogance.
Very inspirational man!
Similar
If I have to wait to be illuminated to allow myself to start a relationship, I'm afraid I'll be at home until the end of my days.
And so it shall be lol
What you fear, or whatever you focus The Mind on shall become your Reality. Amen - "so be it"
Try seeking like minded people with similar values and grow together. It may not be perfect, but try to remember that everything and everybody is our teacher.
@@fenixfp40 thank you, my friend. Currently, that is what is happening. 🙏
Listening to u from the calm of needlessness
So well expressed and explained 😀👍
Yes amazing..
That was superb.
Rupert's talks are the best.. instantly useful. I find myself in awareness for as long as Rupert talks. thanks Rupert
Listening to him speak is so soothing… ❤
I don't know why everybody seems to be so amazed with this guy, Eckhart Tolle says the same thing. and there are many others.
+denrarehund
who said anything about choosing?
+denrarehund
you're talking in circles, and seem to fancy yourself in some kind of guru speak.
no thank you.
+denrarehund
your laughter is good to hear. and I do like Rupert.
+denrarehund
then you state the obvious, BRAH. and as far as that goes I agree, we are what we are. still, as I mentioned, this is kind of talking in circles if we just leave it at that. ok so people like who they like or what they like. the point of my original statement is not settling for that, but something deeper beyond likes and dislikes. though I do admit my query was half rhetorical.
S.Narayana
It is,perhaps, the sudden clarity one experiences while listening to Rupert Spira that brings out the expression ' amazing'. What he is saying may have already been said by many wise men before. But, when I listen to Rupert Spira , I feel I am explaining the thing to myself and then there is a sudden clarity and a sense of happiness.
Where can I find the whole talk this segment is taken from ? Please 🤍
