Great way to find the way back to "I AM" Beautiful
Deep silence of the self. Thank you Rupert. And Homage to Popeye ‘I am what I am and that’s all that I am’. Never heard any master mention this old cartoon favourite 🙏🏻😂
Beautiful.
My teacher asked
“Without referring to any thought or thinking, are you still here.”
It’s so so simple and definitely I missed it for years, still do get caught up in objective reality.
At least I know 𝑰 𝑨𝒎 without reference to thought.
During a phone conversation my daughter and I exchanged something that had happened that day. My little story was about me mowing the grass out the front of my house when an old man walking past stopped and asked if my other half was inside doing some cooking. "There is no other" I said, meaning that I didn't have a partner.
My daughter's story was about her wandering an unfamiliar street on foot, trying to find a particular address. Just as she located the right place a man across the street called out, "Do you need help? to which she replied, "I'm okay, I found myself". (She meant to say she'd found it herself). My daughter and I both laughed at our silly stories. Then my daughter, how is also a 'non-dualist' pointed out the previously unrecognized spiritual wisdom of both of our answers. "There is no other" and "I found myself". The Devine has a sense of humor. Just thought I'd share this.
Loved the video, as usual. Thank you Rupert. 💞

i am using my experience of amusing,
to tell me to be aware of me and find me neither funny nor not funny, both funny and not funny, only funny, and only not funny. where am i now?! I am where it is NOT about funny - it is always and only about i am what i am or simply i am. i am so not funny~! or i am.. 🙃
theDivine has a Great nese of humor and brings on the great Cosmic Laugh. Namaste, E.
Have the clarity to see clearly that to which we refer when we say I am. Have the courage to stand as that at all times, under all circumstances, & in all situations.
Very soft
I am ♥️
The master of non duality is Rupert.
Strong to the finish cause he eats his spinach.
Beautiful meditation, thank you for this! :)
People talk a lot and listen very little. Thank you Mr.Rupert
One point that is often overlooked by spiritual teachers is the sheer determination and conviction - trust basically - that is required for this process. Not only is the leap into the unknown a giant one in its own right, but this must be done continuously for a lengthy period of time, with really no evidence for believing “enlightenment” is even possible.
The understanding and seeing is a big part of it yes, but if that were all it took there’d be many many buddhas. Action, or non action depending on how you look at it, is the most arduous and difficult part in my experience. And this seems to come of its own time (as everything does) only when we have exhausted all other options.
Jed Mckenna
talks alot about this. Also Adi Da
Is trust required to ask the question "Am I aware"? Is trust required to investigate whether or not consciousness is in the body or the body is in consciousness? Is trust required to investigate whether consciousness is unlimited/universal? The direct path requires no trust, just curiosity. But if you are looking for "enlightenment" ...inquire about that too. What is it? Does consciousness require enlightenment or vice versa?
Patty Tanji my sense is that you are of the “spirituality from the bleachers” crowd. Its very comfortable over there. Dissolving the ego aka enlightenment is not comfortable, and it means absolute trust in existence, as you are jumping off a cliff mentally and doing the unthinkable - nothing.
This is also scientifically provable through brain imaging, we’re not talking of anything other-worldly. But if you havent gone through significant discomfort and emotional wreckage/crying/etc. I doubt very much if we speaking of the same thing.
TheJooberjones an earnest seeker is hard to come by!
As always Awesome, unbeatable & uncomparable. Thanks alot. 🙏🙏
Starting of inner journey is like a child who wants to stand on his own legs, initially he will hold some support but slowly he starts to relax his grip and start to walk slowly. And one day you will not catch him.
This meditation is brilliant. It just took me to the one "I am". The "I am" in everything. So obvious now. Thank you so much dear Mr. Spira. Thank you, thank you for your lovely guidance back to the One. The Love of the Self. So beautiful. We. You. I.
Underbart!! Rupert är en gåva :)
What a absolutely beautiful plant 🌱
His name is Rupert
The naked self or the "I am" is called Knowledge in the New Message from God for our time. The deeper mind within, the mind where we connect with God.
"God has created a deeper mind within you, a mind that is not afraid, a mind that is not in conflict with itself, a mind that does not judge and condemn others, a mind that is secure, a mind that can face great change and upheaval with determination and equanimity, a mind called Knowledge."
The New Message from God - Whom can you trust?
"Knowledge represents your True Self, your True Mind and your true relationships in the universe. It also possesses your greater calling in the world and a perfect utilization of your nature, all of your inherent abilities and skills, even your limitations-all to be given for good in the world."
Steps to Knowledge - Step 2: Knowledge is with me. Where am I?
Thanks for the meditation.
Wow. Thank-you.
A blessed teacher with a blessing of a teaching. Immediately practical and true.

Brilliant. Thx.
If music grounds and calms you, and brings you to a deeper understanding, you enjoy the sleep meditation music for stress relief letting it bring you to a place of soothing relaxation
I followed this excellent practice of meditation....
And what happened, is that I started to see many types of faces and a lots of "eyes" 👀.
I tried to be focused on the meditation but of the variety of stuffs coming up was a little bit difficult.
Although I appreciate this practice.
Thank you ...love 💖 from Mexico.

Genial ! Merci !
Who would have thought Popeye was giving us a profound teaching all those years ago? 😀
I grew up in the era of Popeye cartoons, He said "I yam 'what' I yam, and that's all that I yam", not "I yam 'that' I yam". It was more of a secular humanist statement.
@@doriesse824 Either way, it's profound and quotable as hell:)
@@doriesse824 YES! "I am WHAT I am and that's all that I am." Or, "I yam what I am, that's all that I yam!" I loved Popeye!
"perfect"
I Am
I thought I was on "Pause" ...so I pressed the button and I am on real "Pause" and I go back, then , I realized that Rupert was on "Pause"
Hahahahaha
@@twodoubblea But really, we rush too much in life....we really need to pause sometimes....to pause and smell the roses....I know that we cannot "stop"
Rupert; is being able to immediately detach your true self: awareness/attention from external or internal situations by knowing I'm the screen and not the movie, the same as being enlightened?
Not yet, Enlightenment is the realization that you are "The Self". You will know when you have realize what you are. Realizing that you are this eternal screen is only part of it. The second part has to do with existence, and why there is a "movie" on that screen. When you can understand the two and merge them as one you'll come into "The Self". Understanding Existence requires that you only be in silence while in the seat of awareness, follow the experience or sensation of being. The "Movie" on the screen has more to tell you than just being a movie on the screen.
@@ananda224 Thanks great answer! The reason why there is a movie is just that god/Self wants to experience itself. The movie is the experience you/God wants to experience right? So in a sense I am the awareness and the experience at the same time? Or in my prefered language awareness is the attention and your life/experience is the intention. Do I see clearly here or am I missing something?
@@alainfranken7081 You may have probably noticed, but your awareness does nothing but is present in a state of stillness. It does not want, nor does anything but is present with experiences because it can’t do anything else. Your awareness cannot be touched nor can you see it. However, you know it’s there because you are there. It is the part of you that is easily intimate to you because it’s always with you. However understanding this awareness is only half of realizing what you are. When you are in the seat of this state, be present and witness the “movie”. You may noticed that your experiential existence is like a river, and it moves on it’s own, and this awareness floats on top of it. All things are done for you. Your body and mind are automated, it unravels by it self. The universe takes care itself without you having to do anything, because you can’t do anything being awareness. You can only be present. This is what some people call the flow state. Now ask yourself why would this experiential universe go through the trouble of appearing for you. If the universe and all things in it was a flower, why would she go through the process of becoming this flower that you observe as feeling, touching, smell, the things that you witness as being an experience. What is the point of it? It’s not to experience these objects, as the experience and the objects are an illusion. We feel that we are to experience because we think from our mind and mind is an object within experience, but we are not the mind. If the universe was a person, I would imagine it would be hard for her to do things that she does to become an experience, she is all the things that you witness, your mind, your body, nature, the things on the screen. When your body feels pain, it’s not awareness that feels it, it’s existence that does, she is whom feels the pain. But she does it for you, because it loves you, that ever eternal awareness. This love, our mind feel as an experience of love, however experiences are like the warmth of the sun. It gives you an idea of what the sun is, but it’s not the sun. You are correct to say that you are both awareness and experience. However when you use the word experience you are focusing on the objects, and those things that appear are only an illusion, but there is an “Experience” that is real. Both you and this existence that is experience as a sense of love has always been one. It’s never the universe that loves you, it’s the love that you have for yourself, because there is only yourself. However, when when see it as love it doesn’t tell you who you are, it only points towards a direction, just like you are not just awareness, only that this idea of awareness point towards a direction. The pictures (love) on the screen are hiding the light that is being projected from the screen. Like the warmth of the sun, if you follow that warmth it will take you to the sun. When you realize this, you will realize that you are neither awareness, nor experience but something so much more, and this hidden space that is under the light and under the screen cannot be known by words you have to come to that realization, this is the realization of the self. The Self is not wanting to experience it self, it is just being it self, however it’s expression of being itself comes to our mind ( The universe ) as sense of loving oneself. The universe cannot but help love you, since you are the one that gave birth to it. If you were the one that gave birth to it you can only be one thing. This is what it tries to remind you.
@@ananda224 Aaah all right. Thanks for the time you put in this comment. So enlightenment is really realizing that you are so much more than only awareness and experience. You are God/ the Self. And only knowing this is not enough, when you really grasp this than you are enlightened? Am I summarizing you correctly?
@@alainfranken7081 Yes, knowing isn't enough, because we use our minds to know, and the Self isn't an object to know. We have to shed the ego/mind and come into a "remembering" of "The Self" as the Self is You and not an object or thought that we project or conceptualize as an image of what think we are, it's rather a state of being present as I' Am. There is no I am this or that. You just are, there are no thoughts to fool you in being any thing other than your true natural self. When you realize what you are, you will know it. I wish you the best in this realization, as it is beyond any riches in the world. Everyone deserves to realize their divinity.
This door - of "I am" inquiry - is closed nowadays. There is now only a mirror instead - only an experience of I am-ness or self-awareness.
Leo Gura likes to teach that I am am god imagining my whole reality and everyone else doesn't exist or have their own experience. I am all alone and nobody can save me.
There is nothing to be safed or lost..☺️
I am sorry, he is beyond my understanding
what does he mean by "go to the experience"?
🙂😇🥰
Perfect. Popeye. 😊
Thank you ☺️
Correct me: I am new beginer in this teaching - for me life is like playing roles after roles without ending, so if can derole myself every day and get in touch with I AM (naked one) through meditation. Then how I will correlate or should I let it pass by? Guidance please.
Thank you once again.
Loads of Love Rupert 😉
THANIGAIVENI C there can be no ‘how’ in absence of a role. There’s no doing just Being.
Playing roles and deroles is just a dream/mirage within the Self. There is nothing but the Self/ Reality and you are this Self/Reality. The way to 'taste' the Self is trying to touch 'I am'/'who am I?'/'am I aware?'... It is a direct 'experience'. It is impossible to describe, but it accessible to anyone every moment.
Ve
..but all these thoughts are referring to concepts and not to experiences. Except maybe the thoughts "I am suffering" and "I am sad", everything else is just stories of the mind and not experiences.
Rupert uses "experience" to mean all perceptions of the world, sensations of the body and thoughts of the mind.
i don't think I'm doing this right. :/
Stop *doing*. There is no doing, there is only resting. What happens when you empty yourself. Do it now.
Let go of all teachings, all limitations, all pointers. Be within yourself. Be the ever-present spaciousness, openness, awareness.
Heres a meditation that I believe may help you. Mojiji looks at awareness from another perspective. I really recommend being with the words and seeing whatever you may find: ua-cam.com/video/KAmXfBEEuE8/v-deo.html
Good luck!
Be aware that you are alive … what a huge gift 🧡❤️🤗
This is highly civilized stuff.....Some people on Earth cannot afford to be civilized
@Laz Arus
Hindus were so over civilized that they were run over by Islamic invaders.
This has nothing to do with being civilized. Ramana Maharshi himself said this knowledge of "I" is available to anyone and everyone, and as Rupert Spira says in this talk, this "I" is present in all experience, situations and circumstances. We are I.
