❤ this was so lovely. Thank you to all of you gentlemen for your time and for sharing your stories. 🥰
Thank you :)
Thank you for sharing. That was so interesting!!
Loved it. This is something we will not hear again. He should have given at least 30 minutes or more to discuss this. I want to listen to this in much more detail.
🥰
Rupert and Francis Lucille should do a podcast together
yes I agree but not on Rising lol
Im not usually litening so much to pathabouts, but Rupert Spira has allways been a special teacher to me, so hearing his story and especially the link to Francis Lucille gave shivers down mine spine too
All life search for freedom for the Ego, not freedom from the Ego.
Our daughter at 5 years old maybe even younger said to us “I choose you as my parents”.
We just said aw cute and forgot about it.
Until she reminded us of this just 2 years ago.
She is 30 now. And she remembered that day.
Well, this lets my parents off the hook. It would make sense that I picked them, this level of responsibility is probably helpful. I'll go with it.
The same happened to us when our son was about 4.@@Chunda8
Use to live in Sedona it's a very beautiful place.
Nicely put together “I am the I am”, if this makes sense. Intellectually it’s all possible. Philosophically too. What makes it real beyond all intellectual conceptualisation.? The disciple comes to mind who is asking his teacher: “Master do I have mind.” The master smiles and says:”You’re looking for the ox you’re riding on.?” All nice, profound and true. But to live it, isn’t that the challenge! How to bridge the “gap” for lack of a better word? Thanks for sharing Rupert.
Interesting, Rupert, you and I go to the same school, you in London, I in the Netherlands. Then (about 50 years ago) Leon MacLaren was the head in London and Paul van Oyen in the Netherlands. I also reached a limit with what I learned at this spiritual School (I was also a tutor) and saw that the teaching was a limitation. I thought I also had to let go of the doctrine, the system. I found the answer in the words of Ramana (in David Godman's book). I left school and taught my own groups for a while. I let that go too. Now, 72 years old, the rest (practice) is in silent awareness.
Advaita has a lot to offer, it is definitely getting pretty deep into non-dualism. I have been approaching it from the Kashmir Shaivism side. Theravada Buddhism seems a better fit for me as I avoid the "Left-Hand Path" issues plus focus more on awakening rather than this pantheon of deities. Technically, the deities seem more like names for types of energy, so there is some utility there...Plus it's easier to connect with something person-ish rather than energy. Also, it's helpful to note that the Buddha was a Yogi, that was his training with both key teachers, so the Yogachara school has a lot to offer. I find it similar to a rock guitarist studying the blues.
Too much I, I, I, me, me, me
Instead of repetitively discussing non-duality, let's shift our focus to embracing the teachings of Jesus, which emphasize the importance of Love. ˗ˏˋ ✞ ˎˊ = ˗ˏˋ ♡ ˎˊ
I think it's fortunate he never met Robert Adams, the man was a con artist.
Thank you so much
Thanks so much for this interview. :)
Thanks Simon and Rupert- this is a beautiful image, (a dream in the mind of God) and the more I contemplate it, the more true it rings. It's almost like consciousness is not in us, more like we are in consciousness. Moreover, I suspect that a baby is closest to pure consciousness that I can think of. A baby doesn't seem to have a library of experience to draw on, they are just building that library. This takes me to adulthood- how can I "let go" of this library and get closer to the pure consciousness that a neonate has?
Rupert, certainly your life is far from ordinary.
This is awesome! I have listened to Mr. Spira on UA-cam for years, but I'm amazed to learn that he visited Ghana, where I come from, live and work as an Artist. Thank you for sharing this.
How interesting! So this is how Selena in Pisces works.
Beautiful.
Thank you!
Journeys are amazing!
Tell us more about how “you” differentiate the “you” who knows “you” are “awake” vs. all the “others” who are “not awake.”
❤
Thank you Simon for asking this curious question! It was awesome!
Thank you :)
There is no approach to Now and no one to approach Now. God or All does not dream, or co-exist with an absence of Itself.
Beauty and Truth💫
Who’s the man with the white beard in the video¿
Tom Campbell
And if you google simon mundie with rupert spira and tom campbell you'll find the whole video
All is my own dream.
Simon! 🎉😁👍
Thanks Rupert for mention Robert, Robert Adams is certainly the one teacher for me，his teaching is so profound，like no other, thanks
Isn't Rupert a married man, presumably attached to his wife?
you can be married and be fully engaged in life and relationships without attachment
@@jasonwhoweIf you ended a marriage and experienced no sorrow at all I'm prepared to listen to you. Also if you could explain why the relationship had to be brought to a "marriage" at all. Marriage, the word, implies permanence, continuity. Continuity breeds fear. If I want anything at all to continue, I am attached. The consequence of attachement/continuity is fear - I'm fearful of the continuity of my attachment ending. I'ts a groove ive lived and felt safe in, thats why its come about, thats why one has been married.
@@BallyverganFarm you can experience everything life has to offer - including sorrow - without attachment. you can enjoy relationships without fear of them ending. I said you 'can' be married, not 'had to'.
I have no story, I am who I am exactly in this moment, the past ceases to exist, reinforcing the a past story reinforces a false sense of self.
The path to awakening is so long, complicated and painful that hardly anyone can reach it although the Buddha and Jesus and Muhammed did.
It is hard to let go of everything because we put so much time and effort into things that will wind up either in the cremation fire or in the ground. Many, if not most of the Buddha's followers also reached awakening and the core knowledge is intact enough to build a practice on. But yeah I agree that it is a rocky road at the least. But, when we suffer, this is highly motivating for practice. It also seems long at the beginning, but not steep, towards the end it seems shorter, but also steeper.
@@Chunda8 beginning of the road is almost easy, middle and post middle is hard with thr latter harder, the pre-end is easier, middle end easy and the end sad. This is meant to know for all those who follow the path to enlightenment.
Rupert Spira still does not know that we ultimately do noy know. And to know, deeply, that we don't know is an integral part of enlightenment.
To know that we dont know is still knowing. Even if its deeply
How do you know what Rupert knows?
Socrates examined everything, especially himself as a human being and the human being in his environment. As a result, he knew a lot and yet said he knew that he did not know. You have to understand what he meant by that. An outsider cannot say anything about Rupert, his inner state. Because what you call knowing is the knowing of the thinking mind. The first thing you have to discover for yourself is that you are not your thinking. You have thoughts, but you are not your thoughts.
@@ThomasMayer123-f8f there is nothing that knows or doesn’t know.
Still no sign of any proof for a life after life. All these people and souls involved in trying to convince us but all we get is a fairy-tale. No proof. Are all these people and all these souls incompetent? The desperation is amazing.
i genuinely do not understand how can people listen to Rupert LOL
How come?
Not for you to understand. If he doesn't resonate with you then move on. Why are you listening to this? .. only to criticize??
@@susanwheeler9624 KAREN Shush
I like him, but it is hard listening to him. Like many English, he talks as if his throat is pumping the brakes often. The breath doesn't flow. Lots of stuttering like flow. Makes me feel out of breath.
i don’t understand how people can NOT listen to RUPERT
