      @bennyskim Рік тому +3

      I don't find "space" or "time" or an XYZ coordinate system to be sufficient to explain reality anymore. But I like the rest of this quote. We can imagine "timeless" and "spaceless" objects, for example "a red cube" that is not in any space or time context, it's just that red cube in your mind. Or you could imagine abstract objects like "the smell of coffee". The only constraint it seems, with perception or thoughts is that they are necessarily object-oriented. Any attempt to cognize a mere feature of an object casts it as a new object. That's why we find smaller and smaller particles, we can't see it any other way.

      @SIMPLY HUMAN ur trapped in language. I’ve been following Rupert for years. His teachings are vendanta. Non duality. It’s not absurd. I know people who had an awakening from his teachings. Stop being so critical and mental. If it doesn’t sit well with u then move on. U don’t need to call what they say absurd. Rupert is pointing to the non dual state which is “consciousness” but that’s just a word. The essence of reality is beyond words. Consciousness does not arise out of matter. Matter arises out of consciousness. And matter itself isn’t really matter. Matter is made of consciousness. The building blocks of matter is non material. I dislike when people knock on people when these people are trying to speak about the unspeakable and the unknowable. Meaning the unknowable can’t be known with the mind. One must move past mind to get a glimpse of what they are pointing to

But Rupert spira takes it a step further than they do, or at least I haven't heard them take it this far. The way he describes consciousness is pretty spot on with vedic teachings. You say 'something is conscious. something is not consciousness' - how can that be? Non duality by it's very nature is all encompassing. It is both subject and object. It is everything.

      Experientially they are not if understanding you mean someone has described the taste of sugar but you have not tasted it. This means one can distort that over time in communicating that to others and inflate a spiritual ego. Eg Deepak etc etc etc etc etc etc
      Knowing is EXTREMELY rare and The understanders get trapped….deeply usually at mental understanding and why Ramana said it was for the end of the path.
      Few get the sacrifice and healing within that needs to occur to hold knowing ongoing. Hence Raman’s words his teaching followers have forgotten either by accident or design.
      Teaching the end to ignorance that’s too deep traps the node of consciousness or human being longer.
      If we now reply with the is no person and it’s not your radiant experience ongoing than my point is proven.
      Rupert does not mention the light experienced by that and “others” enough imo that allows large followings but is a trap for most as the claim WAY to early and that mitigate it to an imagined knowing.

      Re Mr. Chopra, I might be wrong, which is partly why I make comments elsewhere, but I believe you misunderstand what Deepak is doing. Recently he has had his own 'dark night of the soul' and I think he gets it more than just in his mind! Here, (this is where I might be wrong?) to me he is playing the role of the 'ignorant' seeker, for the sake of Rupert elucidation misunderstand
      But what he says is perfectly fine, from 99.9% of people in the world - to which the incredibly condescending and worse audience laugh at! How they must look down on the average person in life! Gurdjieff called them 'tramps'!
      Mr Spira kind of utilises it, he seems to slightly play the role of the serious one who agrees with their humour but is 'above' it.

      "Matter" does not exist as standalone entities, nor do you. Consciousness precedes matter. Name and form constructs what the mind perceives to be static and matter through identifying with such thought forms and the immediate senses we have been given. Reality is beyond thought and the mind. Everything comes from the same One/Absolute in this whole cosmos.

    Here's one that will throw you for a loop: "The physical world is in reality nothing more than inert matter. The inherent life and animation in all forms, from atoms to man, come from the subtle forces of the astral world. These, in turn, have evolved from the still finer forces of the causal or ideational creation, the creative vibratory thoughts emanating from the consciousness of God or Infinite Consciousness. Man, the microcosm, is in all respects, an epitome of the macrocosm. His physical body is gross matter. His life and his ability to perceive through the senses and cognize through the consciousness are dependent on the subtle powers and forces of his astral and causal bodies, all instruments of the indwelling soul or individualized consciousness of God." - Paramahansa Yogananda (God Talks with Arjuna, Vol. 1, p.59)

Moreover, trying to explain the truth through words only further confuses and enmires the practitioner in delusion. Good luck one and all on your search for truth.

      I agree, they're both my fav teachers, along with Lisa Cairns, but I felt this was a hard watch. I felt sorry for Deepak, he was being beaten with the stick of pedanticness in front of all, when all he was trying to do was make it accessible to all, just like Oprah would do. Very Tony Parsons esc. Which isn't like Rupert's normal style.

    • @david203
      @david203 Рік тому +2

      Deepak is actually very humble, and, like many of us, wants to learn. He has also admitted that he has "the gift of gab", which, along with his early association with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, accounts for his fame and his many books and events. Often Deepak is the lecturer, but here he humbly takes his turn as student. They don't have much of a difference in background, as their common tradition can be traced to the Shankaracharya sampradaya in India. But when it comes to the basics of nonduality, there is no equal to the skill and experience of Rupert. It is a source of wonder, not at all a source of shame.

      In all fairness, it should be admitted that the sleep experience of those not yet fully aware of their own awareness is not seen clearly, or is usually forgotten after waking up. When I teach, I am careful to acknowledge our everyday experiences before describing what "really" happens, or what happens after self-realization.

    Yes Rupert consciousness doesn't go through the three states. Consciousness is static. It is its static nature that allows the detection of those three states that intrinsically contain change. If consciousness wasn't static, how could change be detected? There would be no "platform" that would allow detection.
    The inversion where consciousness loses itself in experience is rectified when consciousness knows this: without that which experiences, no experience exists.
