Wishing you the best of luck. An enlightened person for the most part should stick with those of their own level of evolution when it comes to most relationships if possible, such as marriage. It's like an owl marrying a pigeon. It just doesn't work 99.99% of the time. But really, blessings and best of luck.
This is one of my favourite talks. When the questioner describes her post-awakening experience, it brings up a fear in me. I'm in an intimate relationship and there's a fear of letting my partner down if there's ever a shift in my understanding, in how I see myself, the world and others. It's comforting to hear that things can still work out, if the desire is there. But then I think that there's no knowing if that desire will remain, which brings up the same fear. Fear of the unknown? Fear of disappearing? I'm not quite sure. I also appreciated hearing about her experience of the rock concert exaggerating the silence. I was taken there and it's so obvious. Thanks Alan 🙏❤️
I love how this lady is struggling to explain to Ruppert precisely what she went through, yet he and most of us can all totally register and understand her. I hope she is well. She has a beautiful soft loving voice.❤
A road not for the fainted hearted...and it isn’t even “my” choice...there are ebb and flows as the deeper knowingness shines and the movie and actors including myself judge and yet there is an “I” so knowing that my daughters are the knowing as well that though my mind and theirs judges me, I am here to be more than my need to satisfy my ego as a mother. Sending eternal love that we are dear warriors and thank you from my heart to yours Alan and Rupert and this lady 🙏🏻💗☯️
What for her happened suddenly for me it happened gradually. The plug just got pulled! Sudden dispassion in her case and gradual in mine. First I thought it was just a resignation from life masquerading as dispassion and the mind tricking me into believing it's dispassion, but gradually it dawned on me that it's the real deal It's the sweetest thing to have happened. Yes it has it's plusses and minuses. Plus at the absolute level and minus at the relative level .
harjot mahal I think I had an „experience“ of emptiness and clarity at about 14 years, so I felt kind of detached since and because I had no idea what happened I somehow tried to copy the others again and reidentified with a task while I should have remained „there“. Now, 40 years later, the pieces are putting themselves together, for me quite slowly but I am in peace again most of the time. To use the „reborn“ Metapher, I guess I do not wish to be „reborn“ again. On a hobby scale, the „event“ got me into acting and there will be a lot to „digest“ if our societies might discover that. Now, only very few films have this, and most not knowingly. But that’s just words.
Oh Alan, I don't even have the words to express my gratitude for these beautiful videos of yours and Rupert's teachings. Previously, I had listened to every single one of his videos available on line, over and over again; wishing there were more. And then, as I said previously, I discovered your compilation of his teachings; ones I'd never heard before. And to be able to immerse myself in this endless stream of teachings, is the best gift I've ever received. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Yes self realization comes at cost. People around you will not understand your dispassion. But what i have seen in my case is that slowly things settle on their own. The key is to just stick to being the open empty space of awareness and consciously watch the old reactions that arise to various situations of life as the watching melts them down. What i have seen is that the awareness takes care of it all. Initially there is friction but slowly people around you begin to understand and adapt with the changes in you. Thanks Alan 🙏
Real self realization doesn't come at a cost. People around you will not understand your dispassion. Because you'll not have any. It's the clinging to the idea of being the open empty space of awareness that underlies the dispassion. When you get the message, hang up the phone.
Listening to Spira for some time now I have fluctuated from peace to intense waves of grief in a cavernous haunting loneliness that can come on like a panic attack at times, as if I'm about to drop dead. I grieve for everyone around me, all my loved ones living and dead and cry for losses both past and future. I regret my existence intensely but as best as I can I sit with it all in awareness and I come back to peace and carry on. It's a lonely process.
I can offer you some support if you want it. It is a lonely process but if you connect with like minded people, it really helps. You can find me on facebook.
@@kt9495Thank you so much for your kindness, glad you asked so I can report back that it has been very worthwhile. I love Rupert's amazing teaching and I am so grateful to him. All the very best to you
Thank you Kate for bringing the words to describe the same scenario I have been experiencing also Thank you Rupert for your support and expertise always, in all ways
This is such a treat. Listening to Kate's struggles with her interaction with the perceived world and Rupert's loving and calm explanations of how to cope with that. It touches me deeply how she describes her hesitation to heed the call to go all the way into the Deep and Rupert encouraging her to do just that.
Dear Alan, in general I tend to prefer the original source of recordings, but I must admit that I love your carefully prepared compilations of Rupert's talks, with the perfect fitting musical interludes. They are so well edited together. Thank you!
I have herd read and heard hundreds of podcasts writings and videos of Rupert Many of then more than 3 times or more but always I fell that there is something new that Rupert is trying to teach me Thanks for sharing
What's interesting about these sorts of Awakenings is how at least in my opinion they spontaneously arise and one is either destined to have them or not. Those who do, as in the case of Kate are blessed and even moreso when they achieve an understanding through consultation with someone like Rupert.
stay the course beautiful... your family will benefit too... this happened to me 10 years ago, yes, I know there is no time or me, but non the less, it's wonderful to discover who you really are... my face too get's all distorted when the energy is strong, its amazing on every level... some say it's ordinary. I say it's extraordinary... because it's so blatantly right here right now...
Thank you so much, Alan, this is very helpful and brings up deep feelings to the surface. Rupert's ability to tailor the teaching to every "level" of understanding is so touching and a great gift.
Perfect timing for me to work through what this woman is working through. I am currently a bit different experience but similar enough to recognize and it’s so helpful to hear other angles as I’m not likely to go to a retreat I like to study it alone and hear satsang like what Alan posts.
This confirms my intuition that for an awakened soul, for the most part, if marriage or long term relationships are a must, they should stick to marrying or dating those who are on the same level of evolution somewhat. Nine times out of ten, an awakened soul marrying an unawakened soul is like oil and water and will never work. That said, anything can happen, but the fact that anything can happen doesn't mean playing the lottery makes any sense. I'm not going to walk a tightrope without training nor a net, just because, hey, I just might make it to the other side without falling. Just like marrying an unawake soul. If you have awakened in the middle of the marriage or relationship and the other did not, all I can say is best of luck. You're going to need it if your search for Truth and discovery of it, is real. Apologies if this is abrasive, I'm not really one for pleasantries or fairy tales.
Wow so inspiring! For someone to have found herself within 5 min of watching Rupert on tv , I can't help, but wonder how open to grace Kate must have been for this realization to occur! My journey definitely seems longer, more lost and unanswered. But then again, I see the witness in me witnessing this. Sigh!
Hang in there. You are not alone and she had obviously done some work before getting it. Ramana Maharshi said something to the effect that some souls are like gunpowder and will go off with a single Spark while others are like damp wood and needs to dry out before it catches fire.
I found this really interesting and although there are a couple of slightly disparaging comments on this thread, I believe her to be authentic. I too have had a few spontaneous shifts in awareness, all of which were totally unexpected and altered my perception and trajectory through life. I wish I could’ve spoken with someone like Rupert at the time, to make sense of the quite dramatic sometimes new unveiled awareness. He understands and supports her with his usual patience, love and compassion. Thank you for sharing....I do find your compilations really helpful, well put together and informative.
This understanding changes everything. Loved this in-depth exploration with Kate, thank you Alan. I'm finding that it's not only other people who are disoriented by my changes, but also parts of myself that I formerly took so seriously. They are used to being in charge of my life, but now are losing their grip.
@@alanneachell9092 So much. After listening for a couple of years I recently attended a live retreat. So now these recordings put me right back in the heart space 💓
Hearing these words at 34 mins approx. when discussing going deeper .. K: "..like I'm about the meet the person that I love the most in the world.. R: yes....about to meet that which you have deeply longed for all your life..." For this 'me', knowing this experience so well.. this edge of the Abyss sensation... this I begins to cry like the chest will break open.. that the heart will burst.. that nothing can contain this.. the person stands to dissolve.. the beauty, the love, the here-ness becomes so overwhelming..... and yet.. it passes again and once more I is in charge..
The same happens with NDErs coming back and then meeting their partners, families and friends. They have profoundly changed and thus provoke a crisis of the Identity of the other person.
So envious of that woman... What an amazing adventure. Yes there is jealousy, it's there and it bites. And it hurts. How can i use it as a stepping stone to a different view ?
Spot on comment about need vs. love in intimate relationships. The ones characterized by neediness are dysfunctional and the ones characterized by genuine Love are optimal.
Alan: I don’t know why but each video I hear from your collection today I find effects me deeper and deeper. I’ve listened to a lot of RS’s videos on RUclips but never heard much of what you’ve collected so maybe that’s partly it. But this woman’s experience I find particularly moving because I had similar happen to me years ago with Eckhart Tolle’s first books and I didn’t follow it like she has and therefore it’s sorta curdled in me… till today. I also feel R has explained ET’s experience in this video as well. Thanks a million, sir…
Just awesome. Thank you. The thing is that one is so chilled inside when this happens that the social wierdness that follows is not really a problem. But the friends do stop calling and inviting you to parties. And I was brought up to believe that this is a problem. I feel really greatful for this video. But it's definitely not a condition of my peace. The lady's story is amazing.
Hi, Alan. A big thank to you, to Rupert and Kate, whose story was the central point in this video. Listening her and Rupert's comments was far more then useful. 💖
Cause you probably experience the same. I think its always been like that for me (not comfortably for the most part) but it's good to hear similar reports from others.
12:53: Your changing (dropping the usual patterns) disturbs the usual play of relating thus triggers the other characters in it. Your expansion is an invitation to expand but at 1st the other characters might contract and recoil. As Eckhart Tolle says, some relationships will wither and dissolve while others will deepen.
This is great but there is something inauthentic about the husband being spoken of and analysed by Rupert so unreservedly in abstentia. I find this somewhat disturbing.
I can't say I heard anything judgemental or "inauthentic" about the husband and at 21:39 Spira offers some important and compassionate advice about her relationhip with her husband
@@LinguisticLifeform Response appreciated AB. I suppose my point is that we can be experts in one area and then kind of assume we might be so in all areas. Rupert is clearly an expert in awareness. Now perhaps he is in relationships too, but I am not so sure. I wasn't suggesting Rupert wasn't being compassionate. I just felt that he seemed to be making assumptions about this woman's husband that were perhaps somewhat stereotypical (like spiritual people are like such and such and non-spiritual people are so and so). Not sure life is so simple. Just my experience anyway. Each of us is so utterly unique. Rupert does enormously great work but I am not sure he should be put up on a pedestal and from what I can gather he has expressed as such on many occasions. Your sentiment is clearly good in wanting to spread goodwill. All good things to you. I mean it. We are all going to die one time or another. Lets spread as much love as we can so we can better appreciate this amazing adventure of life on this planet in all its multifold forms.
@@loreb3964. I can say that the realization has gotten deeper because of my own inquiry, my own contemplation. The desire to know myself and to keep looking in. The edge of the difficulties of having an experience like that has softened. My relationships are much easier and I’m not expecting anyone to understand me in the profound way that I was experiencing. Life is normal. I am home and that has become normal because I recognize now that living in my head was actually what was abnormal. I try not to pay allegiance to that which is not true.
Ramana Maharishi had his initial “awakening” at age 14, in which the story goes that he imagined his body dying but came to the realisation during this mind experiment, his “self” does not die. Interestingly, he never advocated this method as a form of self inquiry or meditation. On “awakening” at age 14 he did not advertise for others to come to Satsang in order to learn how to become enlightened, he did not wax lyrically as this rather eloquent woman does here at a Rupert Spira meeting ( sounds to me she’s learnt the non dual lingo very well Probably by reading Rupert s books). Ramana spent the next 2 decades in a cave on Arunachala, deepening his initial mere insight. And this is the problem with Spira s brand of wordy non duality, typical of neo advaita it’s like the Hollywood jetset who take up TM , become deludedly convinced they are enlightened, one look at their moral behaviour shows otherwise.
fizywig which modern day teachers (alive) do you actually like? I find Rupert to be incredibly well-rounded and practical and his pointings have shown me many profound things (though I am not "enlightened"). I'd be surprised to find a modern teacher as fantastic as him but it sounds like you might have some good suggestions. And by the way, nobody is claiming Rupert is at the same level as Ramana Maharshi. Doesn't mean he isn't the real deal. You don't need to wait to be on the same level as Jesus Christ before you're fit to speak from this understanding.
Fuzzywig, you are so lost in judgment that you can't hear the birds sing. And since you are such a fan of Ramana Maharshi, who is the one having these judgmental thoughts?
There definitely needs to be someone or something standing by to manage the timing of these very extensive series of questions and stories. Shouldn't be up to Rupert to tell the questionee to wrap it up so he can answer.
Carlos Cratic Usually Rupert cuts in with “alright” “ok” and so on to gently cut people off. He didn’t with this woman because it seems he was very interested in what she had to say - as was i
Non-duality is very heavy stuff. I'd say it's the most heavy spiritual practice there is. It might look like insanity from the outside but that's only because our human minds are actually kind of 'insane'. We desperately cling to each other, to our lives, to our youth, to material wealth. We live in desperate fear out of losing what we have. The world is a madhouse, sadly. Awakening makes no sense to the position of the "normal" mind as it is only used to deriving happiness through the objects of the world. I hope you keep an open mind and consider that maybe all the spiritual teachings we've heard like "the kingdom of heaven is within" are actually true. What would that be like if you found the kingdom of heaven within? How do you think your life would change if you found all the peace and happiness you've been looking for within? It's going to have some very radical effects on your relationships.
Robert M, I would like to share a verse from a song which I have converted into non-dual form. It goes like this: “I enter the holy of holies, I’m washed by the Blood of the Lamb. I enter to worship you only, I enter to honour I AM. Non-dual version: “I enter the holy of holies, the Heavenly Kingdom within. I enter to merge with your glory. I enter to worship I AM. This made much more sense to me. The date was March, 2019.

It might also lead to a crisis of the person, who had an NDE: the dark night of the soul!
This is great but there is something inauthentic about the husband being spoken of and analysed by Rupert so unreservedly in abstentia. I find this somewhat disturbing.
I can't say I heard anything judgemental or "inauthentic" about the husband and at 21:39 Spira offers some important and compassionate advice about her relationhip with her husband
@@LinguisticLifeform Response appreciated AB. I suppose my point is that we can be experts in one area and then kind of assume we might be so in all areas. Rupert is clearly an expert in awareness. Now perhaps he is in relationships too, but I am not so sure.
I wasn't suggesting Rupert wasn't being compassionate. I just felt that he seemed to be making assumptions about this woman's husband that were perhaps somewhat stereotypical (like spiritual people are like such and such and non-spiritual people are so and so).
Not sure life is so simple. Just my experience anyway. Each of us is so utterly unique. Rupert does enormously great work but I am not sure he should be put up on a pedestal and from what I can gather he has expressed as such on many occasions.
Your sentiment is clearly good in wanting to spread goodwill.
All good things to you. I mean it. We are all going to die one time or another. Lets spread as much love as we can so we can better appreciate this amazing adventure of life on this planet in all its multifold forms.
@@davidwatermeyer5421 I really appreciate your thoughtful reply and take onboard what you say. Thanks to you, my friend, and all the very best to you
Alan-this is such a treat, and so many thanks for what you share. BTW, I am an artist- what is the source of the images for your videos? Thanks!
I mostly take the images from Facebook ☺️
💚🙏 Thanks, Alan!
I am envious.
It can happen there 🙏💕
This is exactly what happened to me! Integration is the key❤️
How is it for you now? Can I read somewhere what happened to you? I always find it so inspiring!
@@loreb3964. I can say that the realization has gotten deeper because of my own inquiry, my own contemplation. The desire to know myself and to keep looking in. The edge of the difficulties of having an experience like that has softened. My relationships are much easier and I’m not expecting anyone to understand me in the profound way that I was experiencing. Life is normal. I am home and that has become normal because I recognize now that living in my head was actually what was abnormal. I try not to pay allegiance to that which is not true.
Beautiful ❤️
Wow. I *loved* this.
Wow !!!!!
🙏🏻❤️
Thanks Alan 🙏
Thank you
Ramana Maharishi had his initial “awakening” at age 14, in which the story goes that he imagined his body dying but came to the realisation during this mind experiment, his “self” does not die. Interestingly, he never advocated this method as a form of self inquiry or meditation.
On “awakening” at age 14 he did not advertise for others to come to Satsang in order to learn how to become enlightened, he did not wax lyrically as this rather eloquent woman does here at a Rupert Spira meeting ( sounds to me she’s learnt the non dual lingo very well Probably by reading Rupert s books).
Ramana spent the next 2 decades in a cave on Arunachala, deepening his initial mere insight.
And this is the problem with Spira s brand of wordy non duality, typical of neo advaita it’s like the Hollywood jetset who take up TM , become deludedly convinced they are enlightened, one look at their moral behaviour shows otherwise.
fizywig which modern day teachers (alive) do you actually like? I find Rupert to be incredibly well-rounded and practical and his pointings have shown me many profound things (though I am not "enlightened"). I'd be surprised to find a modern teacher as fantastic as him but it sounds like you might have some good suggestions. And by the way, nobody is claiming Rupert is at the same level as Ramana Maharshi. Doesn't mean he isn't the real deal. You don't need to wait to be on the same level as Jesus Christ before you're fit to speak from this understanding.
Fuzzywig, you are so lost in judgment that you can't hear the birds sing.
And since you are such a fan of Ramana Maharshi, who is the one having these judgmental thoughts?
@@claudelebel49 hahaha!! Checkmate!
When is Spira talking???
I thought this woman’s story was fascinating and very insightful. I’m glad to have heard it, and Rupert’s response of course
There definitely needs to be someone or something standing by to manage the timing of these very extensive series of questions and stories. Shouldn't be up to Rupert to tell the questionee to wrap it up so he can answer.
Carlos Cratic Usually Rupert cuts in with “alright” “ok” and so on to gently cut people off. He didn’t with this woman because it seems he was very interested in what she had to say - as was i
This is insanity, this made me unhappy 🙁
Non-duality is very heavy stuff. I'd say it's the most heavy spiritual practice there is. It might look like insanity from the outside but that's only because our human minds are actually kind of 'insane'. We desperately cling to each other, to our lives, to our youth, to material wealth. We live in desperate fear out of losing what we have. The world is a madhouse, sadly. Awakening makes no sense to the position of the "normal" mind as it is only used to deriving happiness through the objects of the world. I hope you keep an open mind and consider that maybe all the spiritual teachings we've heard like "the kingdom of heaven is within" are actually true. What would that be like if you found the kingdom of heaven within? How do you think your life would change if you found all the peace and happiness you've been looking for within? It's going to have some very radical effects on your relationships.
Robert M, I would like to share a verse from a song which I have converted into non-dual form. It goes like this: “I enter the holy of holies, I’m washed by the Blood of the Lamb. I enter to worship you only, I enter to honour I AM. Non-dual version: “I enter the holy of holies, the Heavenly Kingdom within. I enter to merge with your glory. I enter to worship I AM. This made much more sense to me. The date was March, 2019.
Natalie Matyuk thanks for sharing!
Where in England is the woman's accent?
She lives in America but she's from the south of England.
@@alanneachell9092 is there anything further from Kate elsewhere on the net? I'd love to know how her journey is continuing.
@@Vc-ot1bt not as far as I know. The conversation was taken from one of Rupert's retreats. Sorry.
Thank you
