This man just looks like he's sitting on a goldmine of bliss and he's trying ever so calmly and patiently to share it with the rest of us who are unknowingly pretending we don't have it.
Namaskaram ♥️🙏🏼
goldmine of bliss...
Love you billie love you, so true when love grabs you off you expand, you can't do anything you have to share such is the expansion that evey wall falls, you are me and I am you, love you billie love you
@@DilbagSingh-ox8li love you, love you! Yes, consciousness is so amazing! I am waking up more and more every day to the truth and am finally loving life again!!
@@billielafollette7308 welcome home dear, no efforts, no struggles needed, rest and rejoice, it is the greatest gift and you have received it, ah, love you dear love you
what Rupert is sharing here is the ultimate gift. this essentially is the distillation of thousands of years of knowledge and experience. most go thru their entire lives never hearing this, even life long spiritual seekers can spend a lifetime at the foot of some teacher or other and never here this one essential truth. fact. you are not your thoughts, you are what is aware of thoughts.
"what you are looking for is what is looking". St Francis of A.
Absolutely. So much love for this master...I read many teachings and watched many videos but I was never able to understand that. Perhaps they set the foundation for me and as soon as I watched Rupert, 1 video was enough. I still watch his videos for the purpose of refinement of my being.
@@lazaroortiz9546 I've been meditation for about 2 months , but today I felt something special by doing this meditation, being aware of being aware. Great to see the recent comments which means people are still interested.
thanks🍇
Thanks to this master ,after few minutes i was pure awaerness ❤️
that quote is fake
This is the simplest teaching. Been reading for years about ways to get enligtened, then disovered Ramana Maharshi and Eckart Tolle, their simple explanations struck me and now this simplest of ways to go back to simply being conscious of being aware , all the time going back to that awareness when the mind wants to go elswhere. Thank you, thank you so much. Emmy
That self that we actually are, beautiful.
Can’t agree more, just experienced the same thing and I tried so hard and prayed to that true self that pull me back into you from the ego of mind. And it happened in 10 mins. Feeling bliss at the moment.
"Who am I?"...
41:42 onward was shocking to me. I've watched many of Rupert's videos but this is the first time he said (or I became very aware of) that we all share the same awareness: "at the deepest level we are LITERALLY the same being. That's what love is." Thank you Rupert.
Yes, this struck a chord with me too. I felt that I could look at Rupert, and if we are both aware of our awareness, we are both fundamentally experiencing the same thing. Then I thought about people I know, such as family members, and all the ups and downs, the joys and conflicts, and that beneath all that we are all the same awareness.
Rubert spir
Yes this statement is very profound and I get it........ But is it a 'feeling' of being the same being or is it 'real'. Are we tapping into what connects us all? or is it that one feels like he/she is?
I think it is real, yet I cannot be 100% sure.
My doubting nature has kept me clear of many dead ends
The most shocking thing of all is that the Buddha discovered this 2500 years ago but it is virtually unknown in the West where "thinking" is taught as the only reality, where the most important thing in your life is to accept Jesus as your savior, where the pursuit of objects, forms is the essence and purpose of your life, where you are encouraged to stand your ground and kill your neighbors if it pleases you.
@@Chopin1397 Jesus taught the exact same thing. He used the word “Father” but it is Wisdom or Awareness. My Father (Awareness) and I are One
I dream of a world where this is teached too each individual 😊
So beautiful and pure. How fortunate we are! ♥︎
Lovely teacher.

That was the most profound description of Love I have ever heard!
Oh My God! The floodgates have opened wide, dislodging this long held belief! My life will not ever be as before. The "adventure" continues...in a different direction of sorts. Thank You Dear Mr. Rupert!!!
There is no separate beings that aware of their awareness! There is only awareness whether you are aware of that awareness or not🙏
You Turkish?
A wonderful meditation. I cried after it as I realised, everything really is ok. Mostly I've know terror , so this sort of experiential thing works to know otherwise. Thank you Rupert.
You are loved more than you know
Love you dear love you, silently everything is in love with you ,every morning mother earth wait eagerly to feel your feets again, silently she keeps feeding without even needing to even hear a single thank you , sun , moon, water, your breaths, your heart which keep beating tirelessly , all keep loving you, love you dear love you ,may you feel love silently touching you from everywhere, love you, love you, love you, love you
Yes everything is perfectly ok. And you really are an angel. Stay blessed and always experience a state of bliss.
Wonderful!
"Watching yourself, your beingness, that itself is meditation." Sri Nisargadatta
'Wisdom tells me i am nothing. Love tells me i am everything. And between the two my life flows.' also - Sri Nisargadatta. ;)
I am THAT
Steven Geller you never can say i am THAT you can only say what you are not
I am that in which I am not..
All there is to anything is the knowing of it. Years of searching and it has always been there in every single state the whole time, just the lightest thing right on the top of it, oh god!
After listening to this you dont want or desire anything...i guess or rather i know it worked.....very much appreciated
Experience of self is very peaceful and serine, thanks Rupert. You, in fact, have changed the concept of meditation.
Some note from this meditation:
The attentions is only needed to know the objects; that is thoughts, feelings, perceptions, etc.;
But, to know our self, the attention is not required;
So, let your attention fall (or sink) backwards into its source;
Allow it to rest in its source; Its source of the simple feeling of being or being aware;
In any moment in your experience - the deepest depression, our the most wonderful moments - you can ask yourself the question "Am I aware?"; pause; the answer is always "yes"; The condition of our feelings and thoughts makes absolutely no difference whatsoever;
Being aware of being aware is always always always our innermost, the most intimate, totally available experience;
If we are being aware of being aware, we are - whether we know it or not - practising the highest form of meditation there is; It is only form of the meditation that does not require directing of our attention towards an object;
Thanks!
So if there is no object then is it the same as do nothing ?
In a sense it is. However, by default we are in the habit of either consciously directing our attention or our attention gets caught up in something. In that case, doing nothing is not meditation.
If you learn to consciously direct attention while keeping peripheral awareness alive, you are practicing classic meditation.
Once you get more familiar with this, the difference between focus (or attention) and peripheral awareness (the relaxing back that is talked about) will become more and more clear.
So the act that is required for this kind of meditation is relaxing your focus while keeping peripheral awareness alive. In this state, the experience of I AM gets stronger and stronger.

Absolutely man this utter clarity is something I cannot thank him enough for. It’s ever present experience. What a wonderful discovery. I am never going to be lost ever again because I have the or I am the eternal self with me. Which is always always with me and I am so grateful for this knowledge.
Thank you Rupert Spira. You have the intelligence and knowledge to put across the concept of awareness/consciousness in such easily understood manner. You do this without a hint of ego getting in the way, I feel your profound awareness as you speak. So many speakers make the state of conscious awareness unobtainable , something only the very few spiritually advanced can attain. Your explanation ,words and guidance are not only enlightening but unique. Thank you for opening the door to a very profound experience. May you be blessed and loved by all who who share in your consciousness.
Thank you so much for your clear guidance to self. At last I am aware of being aware. Such an unlimited and relaxing feeling of letting go. 🌷
How did you do it
@@MsCankersore It cant be more clear. Listen to the speaker and you´ll break thru.
Perfection. This is what ramana and Nisargadata point to when they speak of devotion to 'I am'. The very words 'awareness of awareness' act like a sign post to the soul. From here all is observed and compassionately discarded without any effort, exposing only love and beauty in its wake.
Thanks a million MASTER. A simple and yet Profound way of making one realise the Ultimate Truth.
My heartfelt gratitude.
💖🙏
Thank you for this wonderful video and the clarity that it has brought. It was the exact 'medicine' required to lay some confusion to rest and I express my gratitude for that gift.
A few days ago, I saw "Awakening Mind Pt 1" drawn to it because I have been studying Advaita Vedanta for a few decades. I saw Rupert Spira as one of the speakers and remembered him from a whole host of personalities I sought out to find this enlightenment. The next video I saw was 10 minutes of Self Enquiry and Spira explained to the listener how to enquire. I followed those step-by-step instructions to the letter and then applied the same steps to, what appears to be, my circumstances and voila, it became clear that I am not all those things. Finally, I saw this video that seemed to tie it all together. The moment I fixed my attention on myself and could not, is when I recognized the pure awareness, the "I" that is always present. Nothing about me has changed but became aware of everything else that does! The "I" that is always present (during deep sleep, dreaming & waking). Spira has an eloquent way of pointing.
"It is like the finger pointing to the moon, concentrate on the finger and you will miss all that heavenly glory." Bruce Lee
Most likely the most profound, overwhelming & compelling realization I have had after watching thousands of videos on spirituality 🙏🏻 This must go out to as many as possible !
Rupert you are a gift to us presented by awareness to those who have the thirst of deep understanding to know the insight of it . Love u .
Fabulous Rupert. Integrates into a simple practice the best that human kind has encountered. I Am = A UM.
I finally got it!
So turn attention twards the experience of being aware that awareness is simply happening.
You can never get it
Yes! :~)
you Did "get it", Jake Lerms :~))
ultracalicokittycat maybe what Be Water means is, you can’t “get it” because you ARE it.
Mevlinous exactly
Empty boats, open sea, single earth, billion trees, one sky, one sun, everywhere, anywhere, wherever one run, ah, rest and rejoice, every face is your face, every voice is your voice.
Thank you for this beautiful understanding of A ha... moment. Now I see that there’s nothing else Except this ever present conscious awareness that all is and IAM . Thank you for your love.🙏🙏🙏🙏
Final words: "Love is the recognition of our shared being. Thank you.":)
Being is All that is being, thus there is no you, me, us, our, etc. Being, presence, consciousness, all, love, reality, use whatever word that means to you All there Is of All there Is. There is no presence besides alive conscious presence. There is no shared being. Given that being is All, it shares being with no other. Of course, truth can't be conveyed to another as it precludes there being another.
Simply brilliant. These explanations are like a diamond. They contain all colors of the light, yet they are indestructible in their essence.
It is not easy to become enlightened (unfortunate terminology- yes), but it is even more difficult to explain this state of being, using language and intellect.
Brilliant, Rupert !
Please continue to try to do the impossible. There is a transmission happening, beyond space, time and words, even via modern YT-technology !
Amazing.
Love.
Rupert is no less than a Rishi...the path and the approach he has developed towards finding the truth is amazingly same as found in upnishadas.
Once during a meditation I fell unconscious for a bit, at least that what felt like. I woke up in an out of body experience. My first thought was "I am aware.". Followed by "I am aware that I am aware and that is enough!". Followed by a feeling of ultimate bliss.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Rupert . Got it in one!!!!.light bulb moment, simple but profound ! Amen
Sweetheart I heard this meditation for first time some how as I comeback to it I find myself embedded in it in a deeper and lasting peace. I'm 79 years old
Absolutely loved this video. Thank you so much for this valuable information mate. Lots of love from an Australian 🇦🇺❤
So beautifully and clearly presented. Thank you!
Whenever I become aware of being aware I get waves of bliss throughout my body. Anyone else?
Matt Stocks yes! 😃
My life changed years ago when I listened to this. I love to come back to it every now that I am here. Thank you Rupert. 🙏
Don't come back here🤗😍❤
This is the one understanding that all 7 billion people need to hear right now. Wouldn't it be an amazing world if everyone took this to be their truth? How can the few that know this, spread this to all parts of the globe? ❤
A life changer meditation 🙏❤️
You don't have a life how come it's gonna change😎😂🙏
You are a messenger of God, you have the voice of the god my dear Master. How can I thank you ? I’m not thanking you because you’re the source of my happiness but because the knowledge you have given me (us) is from the highest level or the deeps level with utter clarity. The clarity of your speech is out of this world. None had been able to make me understand in my quest of self but just 1 video, I watched 1 interview and I realized the self. Im following you..I’m with you master. I have never in my life has heard any voice that is as clear then yours. Your book is as thorough and as simple as your voice. I really hope to meet you. Eternal love my Guru🙏❤️
Whilst I really love the simplicity and clarity of Rupert's explanations and would love to go to one of his events, I feel like the response on the Buddha's teachings, thst what is presented here is not the whole story .....we have to totally understand the reality of mind and matter,so that there are no desires...a desire means we are not content with what is in each and every moment and as such there is a leaning towards a future where I can fulfill that desire ...and the future doesn't in reality exist ....
...love Rupert's stillness.......just to listen to him is soothing...
...and I don't know ....maybe Rupert doesn't have any desires ......
Beautiful ♥️
Being aware of being aware is a tautology!
Yes, that's is wat love is, thuis shared being. Thank you Rupert 🔥
Simply beautiful. So amazingly explained. And the very last phrase about love really hit me, it made absolute sense for the first time. Thank you for your guidance 🧡🙏
...Your every thought is a trance...a spell...brought upon the light of Awareness...which is Peace itself...your True, timeless, formless, blissful Nature .
....Treat others as you would be treated...
It appears that there is nothing else going on but awareness. Awareness is infinite and eternally where I am. I am still trying to wrap my mind around this realization.
Dubshow2 Ha. Keep trying - its impossible. The whole point is that you can not 'wrap your mind around' awareness - because you are that which is aware! So your mind will go round and round in circles trying. But heck. What else is there to do? Oh. Yeah. Earn money have sex and play music. Sorry I forgot.
Consciousness is that which recognizes itself-being aware of being aware-seek that which does not change.
Nothing more is needed. Love you rupert so much ❤❤
Beautiful. Am soaking it up, like water into wood.Thank you.
"The peace of mind, that passes all understanding "
I increasingly feel I don't think, but am being thought

Bravo !!! 👏. There is nothing else to say.
Except to say it again.
Highest meditation from the highest teacher.

Great thanks Rupert!!
This is good ASMR.
Gracias, gracias, gracias!
remarkable... the core of the essence
thank you so very much for your wonderful , wonderful work it is changing my life thank you.
I listened to most of this lecture and then, I actually experienced being aware of being aware during meditation for the first time! I've been meditating for years and I was doing Sleep Yoga so my body was asleep and mind awake (I don't know if that facilitated this experience). But before listening to this lecture, I couldn't get the idea of this kind of meditation. While I was listening to the lecture, the basic concept was still elusive. But somehow, when meditating, I could experience it for 10 or so minutes. Now, I'll finish listening to the lecture. Thank you!
More of a sign post than a lecture, perhaps.
I really needed this now! Thank you Rupert, you are a master!
thank you for uploading for free something longer the a few minutes....love

The silance is beautiful, namaste
When He said direct My attention to being aware, i just stayed where i was, ....i Am already " there". Kinda, went into My head.
This alone is my bondage that i practice meditation.

+Aurélien Carnoy please record it
Awareness is emptiness. I is the empty center of the world.
Thak you for sharing your self with us 🙏
"A big trap at this stage is thinking "oh I'm awareness. And when I'm awareness everything is nice and no problem... therefore contents of mind are the problem!" NO no no! Contents of mind are just fine, no problem. The point is to learn to see everything as it is. See sensations as sensations, urges as urges, emotions as emotions, thoughts as thoughts, states as states. You don't need to do this verbally (e.g. labelling everything with words) but it can be good practice at first, like the 4 year old that learns to label their actions. A meditator learns to label their inner experience. But ultimately, you can just "notice" rather than note, like you did on your 30minute walk home."
What a great reminder!
thank you
A beautiful meditation.
Thank you rupert!
Beautiful! Thank you! ❤🙏
- thank you Rupert
the advent of video and social media changes the nature of awareness. we can experience things far removed from ourselves now.
Thank you so much ❣️ After 8 minutes ,i was on state of pure awerness . Thank you 🙌
You were not there, you can't be in the state of pure awareness! There is no separate you to be there! You are that awareness😎❤🙏
