Dear Alan! I want to take the chance to thank you with all my heart for each and every video you have offered in your channel. I have been listening daily for about a year now and more and more does my mind capitulate to this deeper truth I have been trying to understand for decades. Of course my first gratitude goes to Rupert for his relentless, patient and uncompromising clarity. However without these compilations I would not have had a chance to take in his wisdom in its variety and simplicity. Such a gift. Absolutely priceless. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏
@@alanneachell9092 Dear Alan, all your videos offer such an efficient compilation on a topic, I could to try to express my gratitude in words but the word would limit the depth of it. Thank you so much nevertheless, this was absolutely beautiful
Until I realised the witness was just the halfway stage, I could never reconcile this idea of a witness with non-duality because of the subject-object relationship. I thought it was completely contradictory. By the teachings of Rupert I learned that there isn't an 'I' that's aware of a 'thing'. There are no things so that must mean I is all there is. Even 'all' and 'is' aren't the right words, since they imply something else then all and is. Words really are the instruments for the subject-object experience
@@egzonkrasniqi8773 In the raw, direct experience of seeing, is there an I that sees a thing or things, or is there just the intimate "act" of seeing? Thought superimposes a subject and object, but no such "things" can be found in direct experience.
Exactly! Besides thoughts there isn't a real entity separate from the whole experience of the now. The seer and the seen aren't two but one in seeing. As Papaji would say "You are consciousness not someone who is conscious". Meaning, when you say "I see, I feel etc" the I means there is something or someone separate from seeing, feeling etc. The I is the only division that creates the apparent separation and the personality along with time come into apparent existence. Yet, all events were one single block of experience and there was never someone with free will or control to be able to decide apart from the event, from their environment. So, ultimately experiencing, seeing, feeling, hearing are all there is or knowing and there is no individual "me" there except for in imagination or thoughts.
Dear Alan, Thank you so much for this compilation. I was going through the same line of reasoning and couldn't progress beyond a certain point. I couldn't speak of it to anyone other than to myself. And I would over and over again. And now I know which way to go. I am so grateful how all my questions are answered. Everyone of your compilations helps the mist clear. It is like being at a threshold of timeless discovery! Thank you God, Ever present Knowing Being for guiding me home to potential merger.... potential to the no two or even one... Just observe that no experience is coming from someplace in the future, remains in the present to be experienced and then leaves to go to a place in the past. Experience of everything continually rises and falls like waves of the ocean, the ocean being timeless Presence. It is all here and now, it is only Presence which appears as this and that.
Yes. Just last night, I was trying to explain this very thing to my 20 yr old son.....and really wasn’t making much sense to either of us. Eight hours later, I see Alan had just posted this video offering the perfect explanation. I’m getting more accustomed to such serendipitous events, but they still bring mystery and gratitude.
Draw a distinction and something comes out of nothing, and out of something come subjects and objects, but there is only Awareness, modulating itself as all these games.
Thanks Al for this superb talk. I was reminded that experiencing never solidifies into things; it is in a state of constant motion or change, so there is nowhere to land. Free falling 😌
Alan you're a giver. I am both glad and honoured that the apparent character who mistakenly thinks he's me appears to be lucky enough to receive the precious gifts awareness offers itself through the apparent you :) In other words, thank you so, so much Alan.
From the conversation at 12 minutes plus, I seem to have gleaned that there is no such thing as a thought ...... "objectivity is completely undermined" ..... Am feeling like a newborn babe 🙂
@@alanneachell9092 which implies that all so-called boundaries are creations of mind and that the apparent singling out of an object, including the separate self-identity, is an imposition on reality. 🙏 Deep breath 🙂
If you could also listen to Francis Lucille's post a day ago titled 'Our real body is the Universe' it really helps. In that Francis talks of the third possibility in response to a question. How we are actually experiencing ourselves as this Universe but aren't aware of it. It's wonderful. What a strange coincidence that these two talks should be posted at the same time! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
He uses the term, mind activity to describe individual self. He describes a white paper with perforated circles. The white paper is Awareness and the perforated circles are mind activity. They are perforated as they are not closed containers. He describes bodies as the second person perspective of mind activity.
... i would like to understand the context better of the sentence: „Only thought things...“ Because obviously thoughts do not and can not think. Thoughts are products of thinking, and since there is no independent thinker, but all thoughts do appears within consciouness (including the mind that produced them) is it not concsiousness/awareness that creates and gives realty through the medium of the mind to thinking, then thoughts, then experience „objects“ and reaches then out to them (its own ceation) by paying them attention? I would ❤️ to listen to the whole exchange... maybe it would clarify it a bit 🙃😂😇👍
Alan, thank you 🙏 your compilations are always wonderful highlighs of Ruperts teachings. Would you ever consider giving us, in a footnote, where (which Video) you took/got them from?
Thanks Frank. I tend to be spontaneous with the compilations. I keep a folder of clips that spike my attention but don't label them other than there content.
Hi. When in deep dreamless sleep, the objective body and world disappear and so the subjective experiencing of the world disappear. There is no me in here, world out there. So in deep sleep, where is awareness? But on some deep level there is a knowing of the deep sleep? So,no beingness, only knowing? 🙏
Ramana Maharishi constantly said that we mistakenly take credit for the movements of the body and mind, though they are scripted and performed only by the Self. He put a lot of emphasis on giving up the idea that “I am the doer” and instead see the performance of all action with that knowledge in mind.
@@zain4019 as a painter i had an interesting early breakthrough. The painting was really flowing and just when it was complete it suddenly struck me that I'm not the painter. A stream of tears flooded my eyes.. i think of relief from the identification of being 'the painter'.. After that for some time i didn't want to sign any of my work.. which didn't please galleries or buyers very much haha.
michael mcclure That’s such a wonderful story:) I think that’s one of the most profound realizations and understandings we can have in the spiritual path, that knowledge that our essence is truly not the body nor mind, nor action nor thought. They just are. It’s a very convincing illusion, but when we’ve pierced that veil, usually though taking the witnessing stance, and we continue and allow this to come more and more into our everyday lives, a freedom and a new dawn of wisdom envelopes us. And of course, this separate self we see is just a melding of our biologies, environment and conditioning. There’s an unlimited well of empathy that arises for ourselves and others, for this self we believed ourselves to be, and the self many believe themselves to be is nothing other than an orchestrated play of the world onto the individual. Giving up the ownership of the body and mind and letting the Self work through, ourselves becoming a vessel, especially for creative tasks like painting is like magic. It’s seamless:)
Rupert is blazingly clear Thanks Alan

Same here- gracious ❤
Pure gold, this one! 🙏
Thank You Alan! Your videos are truly a blessing 🙏🏼
What a conundrum!?
The separate self-identity is unknowingly seeking its own demise while very often resisting it.
This one stands out, even for you Alan. Great job.
Thanks Alan! Beautiful piece of art!
Wonderful, many thanks. 🙏
Priceless! Thank you!

can you explain this more? I do not get it. What do you mean there is no I that observes things....

How simple - how deep - how clear............ Beyond words

Another beautiful mix of Rupert's wisdom.

Wooow!!!! This is fantastic! So strong... Incredible. Love it... What more to say....?
❤️❤️🙏
What a great present, right in time. Thank you so much, Alan and I wish you a wonderful christmas time 💝🙏
Merry Christmas 💕
Most excellent. Thanks Alan 🌹
But without experience where is object , and where is experience it is you ,
Ultimate knowledge for the Mind. Thank you Rupert. Regards
Thank you, Alan! Great talks, great compilation (as usual)! 💚🙏
Thank you always 🙏
Thanks Alan 🙏 love 💕
The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao - Thanks Alan
It is difficult to understand it in terms of sights..because we see as a whole at once but it become clear in terms of thought and thinking.
So useful to be constantly reminded and felt.
Thank you Alan🙏❤
🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
This was a beautiful compilation, Alan! Thank you so much ❤️

@@claudelebel49 Yes, if we "go to" the edges of any perception, we find no boundary. This is our direct experience and needs no belief.

I would love for Rupert to do a doodly diagram on awareness, mind, self and body. So interesting, I want to know this teaching.
He uses the term, mind activity to describe individual self.
He describes a white paper with perforated circles. The white paper is Awareness and the perforated circles are mind activity. They are perforated as they are not closed containers.
He describes bodies as the second person perspective of mind activity.
thank you always Alan 💜

We could say that all there is, is experience, no experiencer or experienced, simply experience. Deep sleep is part of experience. 🙏❣️
It all makes sense and then I stumble. When an artist creates a beautiful object is this completely done by the separate self?
Everything is created by the one 🙂
Alan Neachell: Thank you. Thank you. Of course.

Why God seems indifferent to our pleas.
It's only thought that says that. If we (awareness) are willing to rest as awareness we realise that everything is an equal appearance of awareness.
