Rupert. Just. Simply. Beautiful. Silence in words.
It's a type of parallel to being a child again and being reborn to all the new experiences. For me that police officer has found a remarkable state of being. Beautiful.
“We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
Through the unknown, remembered gate
When the last of earth left to discover
Is that which was the beginning;
At the source of the longest river
The voice of the hidden waterfall
And the children in the apple-tree
Not known, because not looked for
But heard, half-heard, in the stillness
Between two waves of the sea.”
-T.S. Eliot,
I personally think it's a big trap to try to reach "enlightenment". This is not needed really because life will take care of itself always, just wait and see..
I have spent so many years listening, learning & reading the teachings from many teachers, all helped and added up to my understanding. But it was Rupert's talk that led me to my very first self-recognition experience where I felt like the clouds had cleared away and reveal the big blue sky. Thank you so much.
Welcome back home it's really really amazing how this great event always comes as a surprise, and tears comes rolling when you realise how many peoples , events and I don't even imagine what else ,are all there to help you out, encourage you out, I think maybe that's why rumi said , live as if everything is rigged in your favour, welcome, welcome, love you, ❤, love you, love you
@@DilbagSingh-ox8li Yes.. home is what I feel when I am just myself. When the student is ready and the teachers may come in many and different forms to help. Thank you 💛🙏
I’m the same.
@@soccer2themax love you ❤
“Meditation is what i am , A person is what i do”. ❤️ All I needed to hear .. that did something wonderful to me.🙏🏽
in another form: are you a human being having a spiritual experience or a spiritual being having a human experience?
@@geneshkurko2790 None of it.
one of the most inspiring Rupert talks i ve seen in recent months
@@oscar3490 Who needs this help in you? Is there someone who needs help? Try to find it.
Exactly the same to me :)
Rupert, thank you very much for your wise teachings! You are such a gift for our hearts! 🤗
Heartful greetings from Germany.
thank you, this is beautiful. this is a problem of mine. when I am alone I am at peace and calm and I can go back to that part of me easily but when I am surrounded by people I loss touch again with my true self and become unconscious. so I have to keep practicing quieting my mind and being at peace always until it becomes my all-day natural state (which it already is my natural state) I just have to let it out on the surface, let it come through, and it's the one facing my everyday life. means being aware an conscious or being spirit like or making my higher self present in every situation. I guess that's the best way I can put it.
Maravillosa respuesta, genial, me ha encantado y aclarado muchísimo. Muchas gracias!!!
Hooray I finally heard someone other than myself say it's a delicious feeling. Thanks chap who asked the question for mentioning that aspect
Sending gratitude from a Daoist monastery near Seattle!
☯️💙🙏
what happens at a monastery like that?
@@snapcracklefizzle9954 ☯️ Hi! Lots of meditation, training in traditional arts (everything from Chinese medicine to Qigong), studies and practice of classic texts, chanting practice, land restoration and gardening, etc. Daoist practice is about practical cultivation and integration. 🙏
@@SnakeAndTurtleQigong that sounds awesome
so when you say meditation, isnt the goal to be in meditation all the time? cause i assume you meant sitting down closing eyes?and on a side note
do you know anything about reducing sleep quota?
(i have heard people doing so)
thanks for your response
@@snapcracklefizzle9954 ☯️ hello! This would be a different definition for the word of meditation. Although the main form of meditation would ideally help guide students to a simple state of wakefulness. Some forms of meditation are more shaped for certain health gains or mental skills.
@@snapcracklefizzle9954 ☯️ I am not sure what you mean by sleep quota… However, many people do find that the rest more fully when they are deeply settled and relaxed. So, some people find that they need less overall sleep.
However, within our system of practice, being rested and well nourished is very important, so sufficient sleep is always recommended. (Especially during the winter!) ❄️
nobody can teach one these things .. my journey into mindfulness has been some weird form of reverse engineering .. but i'm there now, content with my mindset and place in the metaverse .. 10 years ago i was a different person, lost in space ... now i am completely centred, amazing how a mind can evolve with a little persistence.
Good words
what do you do to get where you are now?
oddly, the first step toward mindfulness in my case was a course of Beta blockers, which made me realize i had been incapable of thinking clearly for over 20 years due to heightening levels of anxiety which eventually became nightmarish .. solved surprisingly immediately by the meds .. i don't even really need them now as i have developed a coping mechanism, but they gave me the space in my head to become mindful .. mindfulness is the willful control of all emotions and mental processes .. my mind will do what i want it to do .. my body will go where i want it to go etc .. hopefully .. as a mortal i am generally kinda melancholy but, like the ancient geeks, give me a couple of drinks and i can heartily laugh at the absurdity of the universe ... oh BTW, i'm a behaviorist too
rupert,
you are by far the clearest spiritual teacher I've ever encountered. Thank you.
Great. I liked Astavakra phrase, finally I found the explanation to my laziness, just a joke. Jja. Thanks Rupert.
I love tis too!!! Thank you...I was looking for the quoter!!! Thank you!!!
The only thing that is appearing to stop you from enlightenment/self-realization/eternal life/knowing yourself to be unconditional love is identification with thoughts, emotions, sensations, perceptions and experiences instead of being aware of being aware and knowing yourself to be that unconditional love pure consciousness in which all thoughts, emotions, sensations, perceptions and experiences appear but are not inherently one with you; they are an expression of unconditional love; you are that infinite that is expressing itself as suffering/pleasure but inherently you are neither; you are that nothing/unconditional love/pure consciousness in which they are appear and by which they are perceived;
Suffering/pleasure comes and goes; there is an awareness that is aware of them coming and going; that you are; remember and know what you are; never identify with anything that is appearing within you; since it appears within you; it can't be you; you are that in which it appears. When you abide as that in which it appears instead of identifying; nothing has a grip on you; if anything comes; it quickly goes; like clouds passing; only if you identify as a cloud then it will appear as if the cloud is here for longer than it is originally supposed to; if you simply rest as the awareness and do not identify; it will quickly dissolve; be unconditional love by being aware of being aware; this is the highest; this is what you are seeking in absolutely everything else; you are seeking yourself; you are seeking unconditional love; but you are looking outside of yourself; instead of being aware that you already are unconditional love. Love love
"Notice the peaceful screen behind the drama of the movie" - one of the key takeaway.🙏.
Consciously re-establishing your Integrity. Beautiful clear no nonsense explanation by Rupert one of England's greatest ambassador.
Crystal clear, pure and complete. Thank you Rupert!
To the questionnaire: its seems to me as you found this place of silent peace, which of course is always there, but now the effort of conversation gets draining. It seems to me, most people were surrounded by dont care all that much about this eternal peacful space, which is always now, in turn when we try and keep up with the conversations, are minds are trying all to hard to interact with whats happening, in turn, that space gets clouded causing a bit of fatigue, agitation. I suggest to continue falling back into this peace, weather alone or with people, and if you have words to contribute to a conversation or lack thereof, then spew them out, other wise, fall back into that peaceful space and let the next moment play out as it will. Wish you the best, All love. 💪❤🧠
I am on the path towards enlightenment and this man is the real deal.
My greetings and gratitude from Egypt ❤️🙏
"The road is long when your board is gone." (unknown skater)
😄👍🏻
The peaceful screen behind the movie. Just what I needed to hear. Thank you. ❤️
There's no I. It is just a misrepresentation of your infinite and blissful reality.
Beautiful.... being yourself is the only thing in life that requires no effort
What a gift!
Where is that gorgeous bouquet?
Infinite consciousness is having to make budget cutbacks this year.
@@WillSelfless Good thing. Its quite cheesy that every teacher has flowers, pictures and all that shit in the background as if that was something important.
Sounds like this dude is already done, not sure whether he needs any more intellectualizing or “non-dual understanding”. Certainly all the hallmarks of a satori, whether he maintains it or if it is just coming and going wasnt clear to me from the discussion.
@@WillSelfless all these people who preach it, seem "REALLY" boring
I can, like others, abide in myself as "I am" but cannot sink deeper into the ocean of awareness. There are always thoughts and feelings lingering nearby. If I relax, I fall asleep. Are there any recommendations.
Some people are paying good money for insomnia treatments, so at least be thankful that you're able to fall asleep.
Don't pursue, just be.
Mike Foster: Thank you for the positive and amusing reply. I will take my time and be patient.
VR: yes. Thank you.
Perhaps it is the unconscious resistance in you, that let you fall asleep, when you want to go deeper. It is quite normal, because of the inherent protection-mechanisms in you, which arise in reference to difficult or heardly berable feelings (e.g. due to trauma) ....in order to not feel them again.
Practice your meditation again and again and very mindful and compassionate towards yourself and allow that desire to fall asleep...it has its important meaning.
With time and patience you will notice,
that this protection-mechanism will slowly more and more soften and you will then increasingly experience the taste and the moments of your own true nature, your essential beeing.
All the best for you and kind regards from Germany...🤗
Rupert, you are Ashtavakra for our time, thank you 🙏🌹🌟🎊
@Rupert well done addressing this question. It is so beautiful to see someone so close yet so far and your guiding him to the self. Thank you for your love
Amazing! So full of gratitude for Rupert and his work.
Thank you Rupert. Your teachings have changed my life🙏
Thank you 🙏
Lovely. Thank you Rupert x
Brilliant and simple. Adding back the personage and labels is such an effort because it’s dualistic and carries conflict. Much calmer in just Being
Wow.....five minutes before I asked for my understanding to align and then I listen to this audio.
Very helpful and beautiful Rupert Sir! 🙏
Beautiful!
Thank You .Real Joy Of Life Is In Knowledge.
So what about the illusionairy world of today Rupert? I know it doesnt make sense and wil never be less illusionairy but it still the world we live in. I know you dont want to talk politics, but, and, this is all about energy. Dont you feel the urge to say anything about the world of today? I know it is no different world than yesterday, but is and a different world than yesterday.
most to scared to dive into it
As always SUPERB!
Is this a repost? I've heard this exact same talk before at least a couple weeks ago. Does anyone else remember seeing this prior to dec 13th? (I'm asking as it relates to a potential time-loop and/or Mandela effect)
There was a video with the word Being instead of Nature. I do have a screenshot.
Yes this has been my recognition over the past week,thank you…..peace is truly my nature And love
rupert sir. conciousness seeps into everyone listening to you. thank you 🙏🍑🍑🍑🙏
So simply clear that all that obscures the awareness of the Presence I Am is gone.
I'm still 'before', so I'll skip this video.
You are all on the right track...
What is the 'mean'ing? What is the 'medium'? What is the 'medi'tation? 🤫
Pure intelligent. Thanks Rupert. 🙏❤️
Thank you ❤️️
Namaskaram Dearest Rupert
🙏🙏🙏
Thank you, Rupert!
👏❤️🕉️
Touching Ananda doesn't mean anything.
Amazing video. Perfect. Love it.
If the name I is given when awareness forgets itself then awareness doesn't know that the name I refers to itself because that is the very thing that forgets by becoming apparently ignorant or limited, the only thing that it does not forget is itself without any limitation, but when it comes to apparent limitations by which it forgets itself, it cannot apparently have any knowledge of itself. So this model is inconsistent.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🎯❤️
Ram Dass called it delicious often.
When you endlessly scroll through the comments, you begin to realize your cosmic loneliness.
The endless unreciprocated words racing by the screen. Unable to hear you. Collections of words and spells that attract you into a world of isolation as they steer you away from the proximity of your loved ones.
Your world begins to shrink and detach from the universe. Leaving you a barren mental wasteland of solitude.
Get off the phone before your apocalypse is delivered to you by it’s tempting radiant touchscreen
Love you dean love you, your words really melted my heart out, it's really a compassionate call to look clearly at what there is, inspite of what one wishes to see, thanks, it's really joyful to switchoff the phone for longer and longer durations when you realise it's eating out bigger and bigger chunks of your life day after day
Alone - All One
@@jiotaterzi2568 genius! I love etymology.
I had this theory that babble comes from the Tower of Babel because in that story humanity devolves away from
a unified language and people no longer understand each other. Hence babbling
Alas my theory was mere coincidence
Thank you Rupert❤🙏
“I is the name that what ever knows it’s self gives its self.” That brings me to ponder: “I know that I know nothing.” In relation to the previous quote. 🙂🌻
You are not your mind.
Great video Rupert, you are great!
I understand Rumi's "Flow down and down in always widening rings of being" ...indeed, I am living this thanks to Rupert. Last night I dreamed of a confrontation and woke realizing that I had not acted as I know I must...."'Let whatever strange things that happens happen, let us see!" says Rama Maharshi....Rupert's advice is "Awareness....its nature is simply to welcome whatever arises"... I feel that I will truly be one when I can dream in this context...
SAT CHIT ANANDA near Seattle here
to overlook fragments of our own being.... loss of memory... some of the ideas you are conveying Spira ?
Because Memory is the crystalization of a soul into space time . What one remembers becomes ones everything. It is apart of that which gives motion to sight .
The memory of being;; that simple thought of being alive in the singular second, that is sufficiency that is
Good for the Crystal of the Eye mind !

Does peace of our true nature have a flavour? Or is it still ego saturating the experience of "I am"?
@Bardo teachings: Props. Exactly the right question to ask (!) "I am" is NOT the only dimension of our True Nature. And an entirely different type of Inquiry and Realization is necessary to approach the other dimensions . . . in their own terms (and not, as Spira does, as derivative of "I am"). The most that Spira seems to be willing to concede about that in these videos . . . is that Tantra is an equally legitimate path to Advaita. That's good . . . but he way underestimates the possibilities of Tantra. Your answer lies there, in my opinion . . .
@@QED_ thank you. This quest is turning to be much more painful then I expected.
When the I'm is no longer separate from it's presence in the subject/object relationship, the I am sinks into it's own presence. Initially the experience of this presence is felt as peace from a dual perspective of subject/object with the I'am. However, once the I'am surrenders into it's own presence it becomes non-dual, and this is Bliss. Bliss is the true quality of your nature. It is peace when peace becomes known by being it instead of experiencing it. Most people don't get to this stage and stop at the peaceful experience of presence.
@@ananda224 Thank you for your kindness. I don't have a teacher so I can't verify my experience. For now I think I get what peace from non-dual perspective might taste like. I think I had a chance "to sample" it rather briefly. But what can lead me into being is rather a mistery. I was told most of the people get a chance to try to surrender at the time of their death.
@@ananda224 could you explain that? or why dont people get to that end point bliss?
