This is the pure nectar of the Truth....the quintessence for me of all spiritual knowledge. No other words needed.No o ther books needed.So clear, so luminous, so powerful! Thank you for sharing this precious gem , Dear Rupert.
I can find nor imagine anything more beautiful than this ~ The blending of Balyani's words with Rupert's voice and this music result in a sublime recipe for deep delight✨(just as I typed the word 'sublime', Rupert read it from the text! ~ 20:40) Thank you, Alan, for these wonderful posts. Your lovely heart is reflected brightly in what you share here~ the images, music and clips you combine are sweet, sweet gifts gratefully opened and repeatedly enjoyed.... Sending love.❤︎

So, finally Alen at least once, after having seen so many of your wonderfully combined Words of Rupert and the fitting music and the wonderful pictures!!! Thank you so much for that!!!! Nitya
"Know Thyself" was at the oracle at Delphi. But the translation implied "temper yourself" or Humble yourself. To humble yourself will put you beneath men. Being beneath them, you can lift them up. To humble yourself add balance and takes away inequality, the jealousy which leads to hatred. To put yourself above others is to push them down. To serve others and help them is to lift them up. The Lord says to humble yourself. For no man is above or equal to God - and in knowing this, God above you will lift you up. And when you've placed yourself below others, he will lift you up and others will be lifted up as well. To know God is to know truth. Truth leads to humility. Humility leads back to God. Quite circular.
In my experience it has been essential to recognise what we truly are and to rest as that as much as possible. This brings us to a natural surrender prior to all concepts and beliefs .

Hey Alan, i wrote a poem basically pointing in the same direction. It's called "the wheel" (inspired by a budhist rich iconography contained within the wheel of life imagery, but saying what Balyani already spoke of) And here it is: The Wheel Devil may lurke With a genuine smile But you've got eyes to see. When he fills up the gap With all felt desires You wont be able To flee.. He's got Divas And Pretas Narakas And Ghosts Yet none of them need None the healing. Asuras and Beasts Mankind and Lords...but None of them need Escape From the wheeling.... Devil may lurke With a grin on your face When you reach for A pleasurous feeling, It aint the feeling there You ought to ignore You should bless it With seeing.. Someone is laughing From depth of hearts But not to which One is seeing. If it were so Amd i was the one Then this breath Would be called - stealing
I saw that Rupert took the teaching of Mary and Jane from the text An Explanation of the Oneness of Being | Awhad al-din Balyani - Sufi - Persia - 13th century Thats strange that i never saw him saying that he took from there. Did you ever saw him saying alan? By the way, thanks for the video! Im translating the teaching of Balayani to portuguese. Here is the teaching. Suppose, for example, that you do not know that your name is Mary, or that what your name designates is Mary (name and named are the same), and that you think that your name is Jane. If you then learn that you are really Mary, you do not stop being who you were. The name Jane is simply taken away from you because you have come to know you are Mary and you were only Jane by believing you were other than Mary. Ceasing to be presupposes the affirmation of the existence of what is other than God, and whoever affirms the existence of what is other than Him has attributed (projected) the existence of something other than Him. Nothing has been taken away from Mary: Jane did not pass away into Mary and Mary did not enter into Jane or come out of her, nor did Mary ever become incarnated in or as Jane. When Mary knew (realized) herself, that she was Mary and not Jane, she knew herself through herself and not through Jane. Because Jane never was, how could anything be known through her? Therefore the knower and the known, the one who arrives and what he arrives at, and the seer and the seen are one. “The knower” is His attribute and “the known” is His essence, and “the one who arrives” is His attribute and “what he arrives at” is His essence. In actuality, the attribute and that to which it is attributed are one. That is the explanation of the saying, Whoever knows their self, knows their Lord.
@@alanneachell9092 I had hoped that a version without music would exist 😇 Also, did you record it yourself, or is this reading (and possibly more readings) available someplace I don't know of? (His website?) 🙏
the genius of Christianity was to envision the death of incarnate god on the cross, the passing away of God.the last temptation of christ on the cross was envisioned as a metaphor for the test all humans must all go through in this life, our being towards death. non duality seems to simply by pass all of this kind of theology. Even ramana maharshi said we must look at the snake (i.e. egoillusion, maya, incarnate existence, phenomenal passing away etc) in order to come to see the rope. in other words, can the aspirant so easily affirm God as suggested here, or is there a hard labour of yoga through maya, so that like Christ on the cross, we can ultimately also affirm at the end of our struggle, It is Accomplished"?
We can bypass any confusion by going to our direct experience. Most of us need to be guided to recognize direct experience as the conceptual overlay is so powerful. Rupert is especially skilled in directing us to direct experience.

Who care about so called authentic islamic litrature.A cunning man like you can be lie but Sufi saint will never lie. In Quran there are verses which clearly show that God of Islam is all and everything but he transcendence the all and everything.
@@Nothing-yo5uo Can you present a single verse from Quran which says that "God of Islam is all and everything"? God of Quran is an evil who hates unbelievers. It says "˹This is˺ a discharge from all obligations, by Allah and His Messenger, to the polytheists you ˹believers˺ have entered into treaties with: “You ˹polytheists˺ may travel freely through the land for four months, but know that you will have no escape from Allah, and that Allah will disgrace the disbelievers. A declaration from Allah and His Messenger ˹is made˺ to all people on the day of the greater pilgrimage that Allah and His Messenger are free of the polytheists. So if you ˹pagans˺ repent, it will be better for you. But if you turn away, then know that you will have no escape from Allah. And give good news ˹O Prophet˺ to the disbelievers of a painful punishment. But once the Sacred Months have passed, kill the polytheists wherever you find them, capture them, besiege them, and lie in wait for them on every way. But if they repent, (i.e. accept Islam) perform prayers, and pay alms-tax, then set them free. Indeed, Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful. Quran Ch 9 verses 1 to 5
@@Nothing-yo5uo Allah of Quran is seperate from His creations. He has prepared TORTURE CHAMBERS for the NON--MUSLIMS. Thus Quran says that 1) "Those who deny (Allah),- for them will be cut out a garment of Fire: over their heads will be poured out boiling water. With it will be scalded what is within their bodies, as well as (their) skins. In addition there will be maces of iron (to punish) them. Every time they wish to get away therefrom, from anguish, they will be forced back therein, and (it will be said), "Taste ye the Penalty of Burning!" God will admit those who believe and work righteous deeds, to Gardens beneath which rivers flow: they shall be adorned therein with bracelets of gold and pearls; and their garments there will be of silk.

Quran Ch 4 verse 56 4) (The stern command will say): "Seize ye him, and bind ye him, And burn ye him in the Blazing Fire. Further, make him march in a chain, whereof the length is seventy cubits! This was he that would not believe in Allah Most High. So no friend hath he here this Day. Nor hath he any food except the corruption from the washing of wounds. Quran Ch 69 verses 30 to 36 5) Verily the tree of Zaqqum Will be the food of the Sinful, - Like molten brass; it will boil in their insides. Like the boiling of scalding water. A voice will cry: "Seize ye him and drag him into the midst of the Blazing Fire! Then pour over his head the Penalty of Boiling Water, Taste thou (this)! Truly wast thou mighty, full of honour!

And here it is:
The Wheel
Devil may lurke
With a genuine smile
But you've got eyes to see.
When he fills up the gap
With all felt desires
You wont be able
To flee..
He's got
Divas
And Pretas
Narakas
And Ghosts
Yet none of them need
None the healing.
Asuras and Beasts
Mankind and Lords...but
None of them need
Escape
From the wheeling....
Devil may lurke
With a grin on your face
When you reach for
A pleasurous feeling,
It aint the feeling there
You ought to ignore
You should bless it
With seeing..
Someone is laughing
From depth of hearts
But not to which
One is seeing.
If it were so
Amd i was the one
Then this breath
Would be called - stealing
Great 🙏
