So awesome to have a youngster connecting with higher consciousness. Imagine how wonderful our world would be if we had enlightening ones teaching our youth truth instead of the junk they are taught today!
Exactly the words I would choose also. It's like a weird contradiction that both things seem to occur simoultaneously in my head. I'm just hoping that if I watch enough of these, the final piece will click into place.
Rupert, hats off to you who is trying tirelessly to help people to understand the concept of nothingness, consciousness or whatever we call it THAT doesn't change. I like the comment "Confusing but makes sense". I believe this is what is happening with people who are trying to understand Self or Consciousness. Keep it up, even a handful out of millions get it, it is worth doing the effort. Thanks.
I said to myself, I'll just find a video to watch really quickly. Nothing heavy, I don't want to get blown away with content. I just want to listen to something while I get some work done. . . 1 minute into the video, I am totally blown away by the content. I drop everything and give my undivided attention to Rupert! I'm hopeless.
So lovely! Must be watched again and again carefully to assimilate the simple yet profound truth. It's ok if you don't get it immediately. But just be with it. Eventually, your own experiences with this understanding will change your perception. The man takes time to go into depths of the question and then answers from the Now. And I absolutely love the one asking questions. What innocent beauty! Peace to all!
"When you experience beauty in any form, that is reality, eternal infinate consciousness, filtering in to your finite mind. Beauty is the experience of the collapse of the destinction between consciousness and existence, between self and other. I am giving you a rational explaination to it but the actual experience of it is the experience of beauty. The way the world appears doesn't change but the way you experience that appearance, that is changed."
Simply brilliant! Pure Essence. All rituals, rites are only for the mind, the mind alone. And yet, we follow those until we lose the mind or, rather, we give up the habit of filtering the world through the mind.
Incredibly clear explanation of the experience of time. Also, amazing clearness of the young when answering Rupert's questions, that was outstanding for a person so young ! Wonderful !

What a wonderful conversation! So clearly expressed on both sifes. And I loved Rupert's comments on beauty near the end. So relevant, but so forgotten …
So simple and convincing explanation of the Time, Space, Mind and the Reality. Wish this particular video would have been shown in schools before students are conditioned to believe there is a reality outside them.
I love you Rupert and i will meet you, dont know where and when (it will be here and now for sure), over the last few years you helped me (and many others) see and understand more clearly the true reality of our being as it is, thank you.
Time is just an artificial linear grid we place upon one present moment in which everything is constantly in motion. Your body doesn't age because of time passing. It ages because of atoms and cells moving.
8:59 I guess you wanted to say *"3 dimensions of space and 1 dimension of time",* which shape the spacetime in physics, aka the single four-dimensional continuum where time is woven in it (Einstein's theory of relativity). Great lecture. Thank you!
Think of time as an acronym. Time stands for The Infinite Moment Experience - which makes perfect sense, because there is only one moment, occuring infinitely and eternally :)
Wonderful explanation to that question. Oh my cosmos! Even i think in same manner but people tell me i am mad. They say it is play of words. Thank you for such wonderful explanation.
I would so love for a scientist to try to debunk him....any scientist. Don't get me wrong, I have great respect for them, but they will have to tackle this very soon:)
He recalls something he said yesterday... I wish these teachers would just tell people that meditation can bring them into the presence of everything and leave it at that.
Actually, I also thought about the same concept when i was a school student as there were no past or future Even I was not able to conceptualize the past and future concepts.. Later I was forced myself to fit into these concepts when I dealt with English Grammar tense. I think Tense is only a property of language to achieve communication goal.😅
That was, of course, just a slip in speech. He knows (very well) that its 3 of space and 1 of time.. There are at least a 1/2 dozen other videos on youtube where he talks about this same subject. "Time and Death" is a juicy one... to name one. Peace🙏
Mark Lesseraux you realize I’m aware of this. Anybody past 5th grade knows it. But it was funny trying to wrap my head around it, before realizing it was a mistake 😁
Bruce Wayne you’re deep bro but it makes no real sense 😁 3 space dimentions in 1? Have you gone to school? Even Batman has to take some physics classes (joking)
It happens because you're being weaned off of experience entirely. It's like life keeps tightening the screw, allowing you to get away with less and less falsehood, until you have to surrender because there's absolutely no choice. The mental interpretation will often stay negative as the mind can't feel it's own disappearance as being other than traumatic, but this gets balanced with increasing presence which holds the space of this trauma, and the actual suffering, if you don't pay attention to what the mind is saying, is not that big at all. Like this, pain leaves the psyche and you move closer to your home. And no, it won't last your whole life. I wouldn't be concerned about that though. The way forward is always right here and the final goal is always right here, so there's no need to split your focus. Thank you so much for what you're doing.
A lovely response from shazbut. My perception is somewhat different. I too experienced the dark night of the soul. But I realised (my supervisor very discretely hinted) that it was my imagination (thoughts and beliefs) that was ‘creating’ the journey and the dark night of the soul. Once I realised that I was ‘creating’ my own spiritual journey and realised how I was doing it, I changed the dark night of the soul into a more pleasant annihilation. I started the practices and 9 months later I reached my destination (I feel presence at every breath) but the journey continues.....there is so much to learn. Everyone’s journey is different because it’s a creation of their own mind. YOU have the power to control the dark night of the soul.
Time is the speed of the change of forms and all fhenomena. But the experience of how fast the phenomena are changing is subjective and depends on our state of consciousness. That's why we experience sometimes that a day passes fast and other times very slow although the whole day (from morning to evening) lasts the same time.
I think that’s why he said “seems”. It’s not real, it’s based on principles that rise and fall, come and go as perceived (really, just perceiving). Vibration x frequency dictates to the mind how it experiences time, but this is also illusory and in certain states, can be modified appropriately. Hence his orange glasses example.
We do know time exists by the theory of time dilation. As an object approaches the speed of light, time slows down. And this has been observed with satellite clocks when compared to ground clocks. Each position is experiencing time at a different rate. Both positions are in the 'now' independently, but relatively speaking 'now' happens at different times. The satellite clock would be from the past as compared to the ground clock and vice-versa. So different times do exist, but from an independent observation, time can never be experienced outside of the 'now'.
Besides Space and Time, Obect too is a limitation (desha-Kala-Vastu Parichcheda) that Mind superimposes on Infinite awareness. Varying relative timelines need not just be two but countless in which mind (of the physicist) experiences an object going through cause-n-effect relationship (Kaarana-Karya) in time-space.
we all live at an eternal now......now, now and now forever and this is what we have.That's an old trick that our mind insist of saying we're looking at a future that not exist and we are all confined in this mental prision Time and space but beyond that filter is eternity. [Salms 19:01]
Time and space don't exist "out there" so to speak which is to say exist in the ontological simplistic sense which most often characterizes the way lay people think and perceive their meaning, that is to say as an alleged "objective" entities. These is a false metaphysical concept or more accurate - a belief. What we refer to as "time and space" or as "spacetime" (a united concept) is in fact a structure of our perception anchored in a conceptual framework of the mind or a mind structure as well as a figment of language. In that sense, confusing this conceptual perception of "Time - Space" with reality "itself" i.e. in the ontological simplistic sense is what generates the illusion in the false metaphysical sense. Reality as it is given in our subjective experience is real which is to say an undeniabl reality but the way the mind process the information as it is given in subjective experience or the empirical content by interpretation and conceptualization via language is the root cause of the illusion of perception if this, as said, is identified with reality. Similar to a certain types of optic illusion of perception which is based on the way our mind processes the visual information, interprets it and finally generates a model of conceptual perception. Time and space as well as matter are such a models so these terms refer not to some ontological essence that allegedly and ostensibly exist independent to consciousness and beyond the structured models of perception in our mind and experience.
But do we necessarily lose sense of time when we're sleeping? Is it not just perceived differently depending on our state? And it goes both ways. The waking perception of a dream in which a few minutes passed is possible whereas in our waking reality only a handful of seconds passed.
Mmm, interesting to say the least. Lots of stuff to think and meditate about. The only con I think of is the volume level, the mic was malfunctioning or what? Good stuff anyway. Will look for other material from this guy.
Human social society lives by the construct of time. Tomorrow when the clock says nine, I have to be at work. Maybe when we're dead without a human body we go by "no time."
Yes it is important to be aware of the concept of time just to function in a society. Problem comes when thoughts of going to work tomorrow draw your awareness out of the present. There is no tomorrow where i have to be somewhere at nine a clock. That is just an idea which happens in a present. I just go through the motions in a present moment and when the need to go to work rises, i go there in a present moment. It is possible to be aware of the present and still plan what you are going to do at some point. It is very liberating to live from that place.
If time is only a mind made thing how come we are getting old..? I can follow the rationale of past and future not existing and thus only timeless now, but what else decays our body and any other objects in the world than time?
Mind is made up of the past experiances(finate and always limited).. which acts as a filter.. so you can not experiance the present/now fully as it is..we always keep comparing with the past experiance which is stored in the mind..and project the same to future as wishes and hopes.. when there is no mind there is freedom live in the now fully. My understanding..❤
Referencing our memory of the past, which creates the expectation that events will occur in the future. The past and future do not exist. Our (present) memory of the past is very real, as is our present expectation that events will occur in the future.
What you are describing is temporal solipsism, and it is as narrow minded as spatial solipsism is. But even so, what then is the present memory of the past? Is it imagination? Hasn't the thing that memory pertains to occured?
@@theodorethinking Personally I find philosophical categories to be at best useless and at worst self-serving ("narrow-mindedness" nothwithstanding). There's a barrier to answering the new question you shifted to, in that it requires me to describe why space/time doesn't exist using language that inherently assumes it does. T It becomes very easy to set up and fall into "gotcha!" traps. That said, I would say that memories are basically models of experience that are referred to (in the present) in order to allow us to function in the illusory world of space/time. The space/time/materialism model allows us to have a human experience, but like all models has limitations, and doesn't necessarily reflect "reality". I'm pretty much a novice at this understanding, so that's all I got for now.
I find unworkable theories about the non-existence of time useless, but those are preferences. How do you reconcile change in your experience with the non-existence of time? Maybe we should define time first. Anyway, as both Rupert and his teacher, Francis has reacted to personal solipsism, with the attitude of 'the solipsist may think that he is the only mind in the universe, but the rest of the world knows he is wrong'. That's why I said, 'no time' is solipsism's temporal cousin. You may think there's no time but clocks (and whatever changes) practically disagree.
Imagined approximations of time can be useful when adjusting speed and avoiding cars, or if your a boxer avoiding punches. Einstein's special relativity has proposed that people's senses can sense at different rates. The faster your senses, given an adrenalin rush, the slower the world moves. Special Relativity is another example of the hard problem of consciousness.
If we only take our, only our, current, only current experience, then reality is one-dimensional, and really, really limited. It's an instantaneous limited lump of experience that doesn't have room for other experience other than our limited moment self's, let alone other minds' or the universe.
@@theodorethinking dear Theodore, my experience will be same as yours -- an instantaneous limited lump, frightening even :) So, allow the mind it's intrinsic limitation of time and experience the universe and others' experiences. 🙏
@@theodorethinking Please read your original comment for reference as you read this answer. Mind is constrained to think within a three walled prison of Space-Time-Object. If it sounds like a theory, try thinking without these three dimensions...mind gets stunned. When you talk of "instant"aneous lump of experience and therefore being unable to accommodate either the universe or other people's experiences, my guess is your not allowing time which is a flow past-present-future or alternatively you can say that you are not allowing mind space. When they talk of remaining in the present, that's to be understood like this: What is the length of the present moment? A minute? A second? A milli-second? A nano second? So really the content of Present is your Presence...You as timeless awareness are aware of time whereas time is not aware of you. 🙏
I don't agree with Ruperts definition of time. Even though no one can physically go back to the past events but most definitely we cannot say that those events didn't happen. To measure the duration of events you need the clock movement to do that. Actually physical events have to do with the movements of objects in space but space itself does not move. Events happen in space and it is measured by the movement of the clock.
I understand what Rupert is saying. Question. Why do I have the experience of this body aging? Even if I (relative) was in a coma for years and had no experience of time this body would still appear to age.
Because the body is a result (projection) of the believe in time so it will act accordingly. Why can you see someone aging in a movie? Because the scriptwriter put it in the script 😀
@@wilma8326 The first folks that walked the earth had no concept of time but somehow still aged. If we are conciseness then why do we appear to grow old and die. Awareness does not experience time I understand that but tell the body that.
@@886888aa there is awareness, this is timeless - we all share is, I see consciousness as simply a focus of awareness upon matter of any meduim, without a meduim like vision or thought there would be no matter for awareness to focus upon, there would be no consciousness (I use different jargon than spira) Yes true awareness, what we all share has no time because time is a measurement of movement, and there can be no movement without a meduim, therefore consciousness, the focus upon a meduim is to bring it into realization True awareness has no time, there is nothing to move, consciousness - the focus upon matter has movement because there is a meduim, and therefore there is time to measure said movement in relation to the sun (24/7/365)
By the way I have no idea what matter or meduim is, when I say meduim I mean that of physical, astral or mental, when I say matter I just mean stuff on these planes lol
@@886888aa no, that’s not true. In Igbo traditions they said they lived for ages, operated purely off of the sun, and even could fly. You don’t know indigenous cultures well enough, or their stories. Likewise, god told Neale Donald Walsh that our bodies were meant to live forever. There are plenty of people who disregard time and are aging very well and slowly, you just don’t know about them bc they stay out of the media. They must to be able to achieve things that are not in your realm of awareness
How lucky we are to be alive at the same "time" as Rupert! Infinite gratitude!
The one who is lucky is no one really, that's the paradox, but it's always good to be grateful ;)

yes absolutely! 💗

This stream of consciousness (known as Rupert) articulates these truths so directly it blows my mind - fantastic!
Fantastic 🎉... Thanks...the question as well as the answer.... Greetings to the very intelligent youngster who asked this
The experience of beauty or love is better described as a silence, a deafening extraordinary silence.
Rupert, beautiful, in his way to point to people the beauty of presence.
Such a beautiful explanation! Thank you Rupert!
Wow! How well did he sum that up? Incredible stuff
I love you Rupert and i will meet you, dont know where and when (it will be here and now for sure), over the last few years you helped me (and many others) see and understand more clearly the true reality of our being as it is, thank you.
Thanks Rupey! Excellent pointers. Great video!
Love the ones w/this Alexander young fellow.
Correction-3 dimensions of space and 1 dimension of time,apart from that what an absolutely incredible video. Amazing, so true. Namaste
wat a beautiful explanation ❤
Beauty-filled. How else to describe this exchange on the now between a man and a child?
It's perfectly possible to remain aware during sleep. In Dzogchen it is called "The practice of the night", and there is Dream Yoga in Vajrayana.
Time is just an artificial linear grid we place upon one present moment in which everything is constantly in motion. Your body doesn't age because of time passing. It ages because of atoms and cells moving.
even though all this makes sense, the hurt from memory does not go away. over and over again.
Why is anybody talking about who the kid is? Who is that kid?? Wise is who ask the right questions

Memory & traumatic memory in particular is not imagination
What about trauma? I feel I have a lot of anxiety stored in my body.
Morrisey asked " how soon is now ' ? Very good question!
This is brilliant!
"You know it through the experience of beauty."😍
I'd love to witness a conversation about time between Rupert and Carlo Rovelli! That'd be awesome
“Time and eternity intersect in the now”
Excellent video. Thank you for your beauty!
That was so beautiful!
So… I’m a little confused. Is Mr. Spira stating that sleep is basically an unskippable cutscene or is it more like a loading screen?
People keep telling me I should live in the moment. Trouble is, the moment sucks!
FANTASTIC!
this is a great question!
Where can I find the whole video please 🙏🏽 this is so fascinating and helps us understand reality from our concept and understanding of reality.

Can the dark night of the soul last a lifetime? Been on the path for a while and experience gets worse and worse.

I just go through the motions in a present moment and when the need to go to work rises, i go there in a present moment. It is possible to be aware of the present and still plan what you are going to do at some point. It is very liberating to live from that place.

THANKS FOR THIS.
Love this@@luckystroke126
If time is only a mind made thing how come we are getting old..?
I can follow the rationale of past and future not existing and thus only timeless now, but what else decays our body and any other objects in the world than time?
We are God's ( consciousness)dream and like the dreams we have it has to end so God can experience many more dreams.
Mind is made up of the past experiances(finate and always limited).. which acts as a filter.. so you can not experiance the present/now fully as it is..we always keep comparing with the past experiance which is stored in the mind..and project the same to future as wishes and hopes.. when there is no mind there is freedom live in the now fully.
My understanding..❤
'When we're asleep'. What do you mean by 'when', Rupert? Are you referencing the past, or the future?
Referencing our memory of the past, which creates the expectation that events will occur in the future. The past and future do not exist. Our (present) memory of the past is very real, as is our present expectation that events will occur in the future.
What you are describing is temporal solipsism, and it is as narrow minded as spatial solipsism is.
But even so, what then is the present memory of the past? Is it imagination? Hasn't the thing that memory pertains to occured?
@@theodorethinking Personally I find philosophical categories to be at best useless and at worst self-serving ("narrow-mindedness" nothwithstanding).
There's a barrier to answering the new question you shifted to, in that it requires me to describe why space/time doesn't exist using language that inherently assumes it does. T It becomes very easy to set up and fall into "gotcha!" traps. That said, I would say that memories are basically models of experience that are referred to (in the present) in order to allow us to function in the illusory world of space/time. The space/time/materialism model allows us to have a human experience, but like all models has limitations, and doesn't necessarily reflect "reality". I'm pretty much a novice at this understanding, so that's all I got for now.
I find unworkable theories about the non-existence of time useless, but those are preferences.
How do you reconcile change in your experience with the non-existence of time? Maybe we should define time first.
Anyway, as both Rupert and his teacher, Francis has reacted to personal solipsism, with the attitude of 'the solipsist may think that he is the only mind in the universe, but the rest of the world knows he is wrong'. That's why I said, 'no time' is solipsism's temporal cousin. You may think there's no time but clocks (and whatever changes) practically disagree.
@@theodorethinking Ok :)
Imagined approximations of time can be useful when adjusting speed and avoiding cars, or if your a boxer avoiding punches. Einstein's special relativity has proposed that people's senses can sense at different rates. The faster your senses, given an adrenalin rush, the slower the world moves. Special Relativity is another example of the hard problem of consciousness.
If time doesn't exist why is Rupert wearing a watch???
ONE NOW
Beautiful :)
If we only take our, only our, current, only current experience, then reality is one-dimensional, and really, really limited. It's an instantaneous limited lump of experience that doesn't have room for other experience other than our limited moment self's, let alone other minds' or the universe.
It's the mind looking at the Eternal Now as one moment sandwiched between past and present :)
@@arvindpare8519 Is that an experience, or is it a theory?
@@theodorethinking dear Theodore, my experience will be same as yours -- an instantaneous limited lump, frightening even :)
So, allow the mind it's intrinsic limitation of time and experience the universe and others' experiences. 🙏
@@SwadhyayaMysoreArvind When will that happen? In the future?
@@theodorethinking Please read your original comment for reference as you read this answer.
Mind is constrained to think within a three walled prison of Space-Time-Object. If it sounds like a theory, try thinking without these three dimensions...mind gets stunned. When you talk of "instant"aneous lump of experience and therefore being unable to accommodate either the universe or other people's experiences, my guess is your not allowing time which is a flow past-present-future or alternatively you can say that you are not allowing mind space.
When they talk of remaining in the present, that's to be understood like this: What is the length of the present moment? A minute? A second? A milli-second? A nano second? So really the content of Present is your Presence...You as timeless awareness are aware of time whereas time is not aware of you. 🙏
I don't agree with Ruperts definition of time. Even though no one can physically go back to the past events but most definitely we cannot say that those events didn't happen. To measure the duration of events you need the clock movement to do that. Actually physical events have to do with the movements of objects in space but space itself does not move. Events happen in space and it is measured by the movement of the clock.
He didn't say the past didn't happen. The past only lives within our minds.
Does anybody know the child or his whereabouts now?
I understand what Rupert is saying. Question. Why do I have the experience of this body aging? Even if I (relative) was in a coma for years and had no experience of time this body would still appear to age.
Because the body is a result (projection) of the believe in time so it will act accordingly. Why can you see someone aging in a movie? Because the scriptwriter put it in the script 😀
@@wilma8326 The first folks that walked the earth had no concept of time but somehow still aged. If we are conciseness then why do we appear to grow old and die. Awareness does not experience time I understand that but tell the body that.
@@886888aa there is awareness, this is timeless - we all share is, I see consciousness as simply a focus of awareness upon matter of any meduim, without a meduim like vision or thought there would be no matter for awareness to focus upon, there would be no consciousness (I use different jargon than spira)
Yes true awareness, what we all share has no time because time is a measurement of movement, and there can be no movement without a meduim, therefore consciousness, the focus upon a meduim is to bring it into realization
True awareness has no time, there is nothing to move, consciousness - the focus upon matter has movement because there is a meduim, and therefore there is time to measure said movement in relation to the sun (24/7/365)
By the way I have no idea what matter or meduim is, when I say meduim I mean that of physical, astral or mental, when I say matter I just mean stuff on these planes lol
@@886888aa no, that’s not true. In Igbo traditions they said they lived for ages, operated purely off of the sun, and even could fly. You don’t know indigenous cultures well enough, or their stories.
Likewise, god told Neale Donald Walsh that our bodies were meant to live forever. There are plenty of people who disregard time and are aging very well and slowly, you just don’t know about them bc they stay out of the media. They must to be able to achieve things that are not in your realm of awareness
Why do I get wrinkles in a spacetime logical order if there is no time
Were they one of Rupert's children asking this?.
Wouldn't beauty also be distorted by those lenses?
