I had this glimpse during an episode of deep suffering when I felt like I had no escape. I refused to use alcohol and other drugs in order to escape, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise. When I had absolutely no other way to escape, I somehow stumbled on this glimpse that freedom from all this required absolutely no effort. It was right there all along and just required the subtlest of shifts in perspective. ✌️
Just finding the same thing. Since getting sober I no longer can delay or mask my suffering so I have to face myself. As a result I am finding my true self.
I have been listening to this life transforming video every day at least 3 times over past 2 months and every time I listen I come out with new insight. I am 67 and I wish I had it when I was 17. It is just awesome. Thanks you so much Rupert
When we’re happy and fulfilled, this is our glimpse into our nature of beingness and in essence our true selves. The mistake we make is trying to manipulate exterior circumstances to achieve this feeling. The irony is that there’s nothing to “try and achieve” because it’s who we are and is our nature. It’s so amazing the games we play to get some place in which we already are. The simplicity of it is almost laughable if it weren’t also so deceptive and painful when not seen.
I love his teachings!! Echart Tolles talks about the same!! I am so thankfull for Rupert Spira, for Echart Tolle. To have the basic understanding of who I am NOW it is more than LIBERATION, It is PEACE. Nothing can be compare to that, nothing absolutely nothing. I will not change that for all the GOLD, money or poseccions in this world. I have tears of Joy in my eyes writing this!! These Masters have a purpose, yes the purpose of helping the rest of us to unveling the true nature of WHO WE ARE, THE PURPOSE OF OUR LIVES HERE, these is PRICELESS. They have been chosen by the UNIVERSE, by THE ONE for reason. Infinitely Grateful Dr. Rupert!!
@@AlfDagg I find the ideal to overcome the self very limited. Even if there is such thing as universal consciousness I don't see why we should spend our time and resources meditating to access the feeling of being one with the whole.
"Why do I say with such confidence that happiness is the purpose of life? It's because you know that from your own experience, because when you're happy there's no desire to achieve anything else. When you're happy you're fulfilled. There's no more reason for doing anything, because you've already got what you would seek through doing anything. You've already arrived at the happiness that you seek. " (Rupert Spira)
@@GoldenArcanum I believe you are 'unaware' when you sleep because there is nothing to be aware of (unless you have a dream), but consciousness does not leave. I think of sleep like a deep form of meditation in a way - you are completely at one with yourself, without any veiling. Time and space fall away as the mechanism that is confined by these things (the bodymind) shuts down.
I really resonated with this quote from a book that describes the state of wanting / happiness. It goes well with what Rupert spira said about happiness as well. Here it goes: “The happiness we feel when we get what we want comes from the absence of wanting. For a brief moment, we’ve stopped wanting anything other than what we have.a blueberry can accomplish this just as well as a Rolex” :)
@@MysticMD 🙏🏼🙏🏼Thanks so much. Didn't really expect it in such a book. But by the look of it, it seems exactly like a book I want to read about finance, since it is seems not just to be about gaining more wealth. All the best, Marc
Mystic Flight Thanks so much for that reference! I looked Kessel’s book up and found the statement on page 20, but he was attributing it to Adyashanti. Doesn’t change the value of the concept one iota, just that I now want to look up more from Adyashanti. Notice that “I want”...the wanting mind at it again!!
Man I love when he said there are no different types of happiness. There's only happiness. Continue to do whatever makes you happy regardless of what it is, as long as it doesn't cause others to suffer.
Yes, totally. The fear of death turns out to be the same as the desire to live - two sides of the same coin. We only fear death when we want to live. And the magic takes us to the experience of living in the moment. 💛
@@rogelio100147 because the One you call Father and yourself are the same Essence. You with the "help" of your mind build these doors of duality. Where in fact there are no doors at all.
@@rogelio100147 if you think it costs a lot and is difficult, I would say you have still not made it home to the Father yet. The only cost is giving up your sinful ways which is fundamentally giving up what is worthless. Travel back home, then there will be a big party, and then you will understand.
Yes! We are all trying to return to the remembrance of connection to oneness, to love. We intuitively remember our source and long to return to it. I never connected our behavioural attempts at "happiness" to that longing before. Mind blown!!
I love Rupert. He knows how to put abstract ideas into concrete daily life. Did you know that the word happiness and happening are related? It is all about the now. Happiness is about the now.
Summarising all of rupert’s teachings: When you ask yourself the question “am i aware”...you refer to an objective-quality less experience of being aware and a thought rises “yes”. If you stay with that experience after the thought (being aware of being aware),awareness gradually ,in time ,loses its limitations and the true nature of awareness will shine as it is .This process is called self abidance.It is the path to happiness. SELF ABIDANCE IS THE TRUE GOAL OF LIFE.
Ramakant Maharaj told it thus: when Happiness is no longer required you have reached the destination. This life in human body is an opportunity to realise Ultimate Truth - That You Are. You are not a body or mind with a purpose to find happiness - these are concepts related to the body -Your Ultimate Truth is Prior to Beingness, prior to body, prior to mind.
Agreed. I think however, in order to access this "Ultimate Truth prior to Beingness", one needs to get right in this body/mind, by seeking through concepts and practices/disciplines, the "happiness" we all think we know...until we find out our concepts aren't the Ultimate Truth. Yep, fun stuff, this so-called life. :)
@@decid3 Yes.. thorn to remove the thorn.. all we could think is from the ego, yet we need "concepts" and "teachings" in order to remove all concepts. ironic but true.
We modify our experience with drugs, alcohol, thrills, sex, all to reach release, surrender, and freedom from our division. We couldn't be given more precise and exact signs from our experience and our natural world, that this is our habit to surrender to who we are. Even our unhappiness is misinterpreted. What an extraordinary direct way teaching.
So that was what I felt when I gave up and dropped the fear! My situation was...armed robbers stormed the house where I was a visitor...hands tied...gun on my forehead. I just told myself "This is it." I have thought about that feeling for 30 years and psychologists had the gal to call my experience PTSD. It was the feeling of missing myself. Thank you Rupert.
I hope your okay now and atleast better. Must be crazy your life was an inch from being taken away. I actually have a bestfriend who I saw had a gun literally on his head, in my old car when we were 18 across the street from this party we left from and were hanging out fooling around with these girls. They were all the around the same age. some wanna be gangsters in high school. They actually just wanted to take this thing worth a bill and our hats lol. but yeah I seen everything. I didn't get it pointed at me, cause the one holding it just tapped the door and I knew I had to open it. It was crazy though and I'm sure it was much more crazy for my close friend. I think that really changed him. I think at first in a bad way but for the greater good eventually.
Incredible. We are just conscious awareness, veiling itself for the purpose of experiencing this physical platform. And awareness by turning our attention to what "I am" really means (being aware) returns us to true happiness (the knowing of our true being). And that the false self is merely trying to reconnect by having all of these heightened physical experiences in order to fill the void it feels? Thank you for this insight, what a crazy ride life is!! What a transcending experience!

I have just found Rupet. I love that new feeling of learning from someone, when you feel that they are talking another language and that something about them kind of frustrates / irritates you - only to realise that it is showing you something about yourself. I mean this kindly, with reflectiveness and honesty. I'll keep learning. Thank you.
Infinite awareness ~ happiness, peace, love is our true nature. It is always present in the finite self (it’s omnipresent) and yes it gets covered over by ‘life‘s experiences’….. we are constantly trying to get back to it.
Profound. Happiness is always the same experience, just being triggered by objects/experiences, but it is not limited to them. Yes, that is truly a revelation.
People of this planet lets dive into the profound knowledge of this exceptional human being and start the biggest revolution there is;the transformation of ourselves !
😮 Isnt that true for all human beings--as we all have (or had) 'Separate Selves' which are 'not true.& not authentic' & the Conditioning that goes along with it ? 🎉🤢 Maybe aspects of that psychological conditioning always remain EVEN WHEN WE HAVE experienced a Higher (?), transcendant Consciousness ? 🕸❤
The purpose of life is to explore the purpose of life. The act of trying to find the purpose is the purpose. It is our gift to be able to do that and to know that.
There is no goal in life. Life is its own goal.There is nothing outside life that you have to achieve.All achievements is the projection of the ego and all purposes and goals are by-products of identity. Life is too sufficient to require anything.

i wish i could like 1000 times but seing as how i can't i shared it on Facebook so i can go there and react to it with love and hopefully some of my Facebook friends would watch it and wake up to the truth of there own being. thanks you for reminding me of me .
"A Happy Broccoli"...That's great! Ahahaahahaa...! Good gracious! I love the name of your You Tube channel...Not to mention that it's well suited to the subject of this video :) :) :)
This is easily the most effective lecture I’ve heard Rupert Spira give, and easily the one that elicits a sense of pause; what he’s saying is exactly right. How do you reconcile that? I’m still seeking.
Trigger of Happiness is very important so as not to add more unhappiness because of it. That’s what religious do’s and don’ts are. The beauty of Direct path is that it manifests happiness without external triggers, avoiding negative side effects and the dependencies they may have. Exceptions are, surrender or knowledge help from a Guru as Divine triggers, if the right one. Mr. Spira is just Awesome gift to the seekers of Happiness.
This is clear. Simple. Universal. It’s very hard to do and remember without first building the habit that breaks the illusory self. To me it’s daily work where sometimes I feel I’m getting ahead and really grasping it. So many other times it’s some version of its opposite. I wonder what would it be like (my experience that is) with just being happy in perpetuity?
The purpose of life is to grow. Consciousness/source/creative life has no desire or need to be happy. An individual may desire to be happy but life needs to grow in order to live so the purpose of each individual life is to learn how to grow under different circumstances and pass on that lived knowledge to life itself. Life has learned how to live by continually growing and adapting.
WoW...As Rupert expressed previously, the suffix - 'ness' - means the presence of, therefore, happiness simply is the presence of being happy which is our essential nature, which is the goal or purpose of life...Great Video...Thanks for posting... I A(nama rupa)M !
most glib explanation i've ever heard...falls to pieces with a moments reflection, but then Rupert makes a lot of people happy when he talks like this so everyone seems to have fulfilled their destiny.............
He's so right. Even when crushing an enemy on the Playstation in "God Of War" or any other game, there is this slight letting go. I've done it! :) And then the seperate self starts up again.
I am not as awe inspired as everyone else listening to this. sure he has a soothing voice, but most of it is superfluous to me... maybe I am unenlightened. I think it more about dopamine... thats why people plunge themselves into near death experiences.
Great. He got the ability to translate our deeper understanding of the cosmic event and the event of our being in this through words which I always assumed to be a highly difficult task. Like making a blind man understand the colors of flowers

You missed the entire point of what he was saying. Nothing can make you happy. Only you can.

Mr. Spira is just Awesome gift to the seekers of Happiness.
This is very deep, rooted to the Self: True Happiness Thank you
It will bring you to tears 💗
i love you rupert!
This is clear. Simple. Universal. It’s very hard to do and remember without first building the habit that breaks the illusory self. To me it’s daily work where sometimes I feel I’m getting ahead and really grasping it. So many other times it’s some version of its opposite. I wonder what would it be like (my experience that is) with just being happy in perpetuity?
Love you Rupert❤
Lovely. Pure and lovely.
I find the visual example of the veil: being the finite I covering up the infinite I very clear. Thank you Rupert
thank you
ruper is the best master i ever heard and i listen a lot,but he is way to explain it is so simple and clear that it is really something else .
The purpose of life is to grow. Consciousness/source/creative life has no desire or need to be happy. An individual may desire to be happy but life needs to grow in order to live so the purpose of each individual life is to learn how to grow under different circumstances and pass on that lived knowledge to life itself. Life has learned how to live by continually growing and adapting.
WoW...As Rupert expressed previously, the suffix - 'ness' - means the presence of, therefore, happiness simply is the presence of being happy which is our essential nature, which is the goal or purpose of life...Great Video...Thanks for posting...
I A(nama rupa)M !
most glib explanation i've ever heard...falls to pieces with a moments reflection, but then Rupert makes a lot of people happy when he talks like this so everyone seems to have fulfilled their destiny.............
What a revelation! Always very clear and well explained. Thank you Rupert!
He's so right. Even when crushing an enemy on the Playstation in "God Of War" or any other game, there is this slight letting go. I've done it! :) And then the seperate self starts up again.
I am not as awe inspired as everyone else listening to this. sure he has a soothing voice, but most of it is superfluous to me... maybe I am unenlightened.
I think it more about dopamine... thats why people plunge themselves into near death experiences.
Great. He got the ability to translate our deeper understanding of the cosmic event and the event of our being in this through words which I always assumed to be a highly difficult task. Like making a blind man understand the colors of flowers
