Nothink explain the awareness vs seperate-self better than this. I believe i'm one of the luckiest human being to watch such awakening wisdom. Thank you Spria ❤
Do you have a video to remind you that 1+1=2? Whenever you need knowledge to sink in, you listen, understand, remove all doubt and then repeat it until it becomes a living truth.

For a while he lost me a bit, but in the end I got it. He ascribes positive feelings to awareness. Those that are not about the ego and person as such, but rather loving, including, open... happiness and peace. I see. I am so glad he clarified that at the end, because prior to that I was like "hang on... I am not sure I am liking what I am hearing here", but now I get it. =)
This is the wisest teaching about the ego I have ever heard! Much like Teacher Jesus he teaches in a comparison so a complex subject can be understood , even to me who hears in the simple explanations they bring me understanding otherwise I have trouble trying to comprehend teachings that are complex in nature and not tangible! Excellent teacher who teaches through experience to unfold understanding♥️ and wisdom!
@@ravindramurthy3486 (I'm gonna speak in the "matrix" language, as in conscious means I'm awake and unconscious means I'm asleep. So dont overthink it haha) I've had a lucid dream before. It's basically a dream where you are aware you're dreaming and you can control what you do in it. When I had the lucid dream, I wanted to fly, so I flew. But if I became to aware that i was dreaming, i would start to wake up, so i tried to maintain semi conscious in the dream. They're really cool to have. You can do anything since you're dreaming.
@@ayofrtho7014 Hello Friend: Thank you for your response. I just do not understand this. First of all, you have stated that "... conscious means I'm awake and unconscious means I'm asleep. Then you state: " I've had a lucid dream before. It's basically a dream where are you are aware you're dreaming and you can control what you do in it". If you are aware of your dream as you state - how can awareness arise in a state when you are asleep which by your statement equates with unconsciousness. (assuming that you believe that dream state occurs in your sleep). This potentially could mean awareness can exist when you are unconscious, which is an impossibility. (Also, please note that I have only quoted you. Whether I agree with your statements or not, may not be relevant in this response of mine). Thank you.
Probably won't ever happen. Its kinda why drugs are illegal. Sometimes drugs can give people these same type of experiences or realizing God (with DMT) But what good or purpose would that do for society? Society is built on practical thinking If everyone realized they are God and complete what motive would you have to be a consumer or buy "shit you dont need" Society and capitalism wants you to be insecure if you think about it
It's not possible to realize this until you're somewhat 15 to 25. How would one even try to explain this to an 7 or 8 year old. We are here to try and share this with our children.
Dear Mr. Spira: if you could answer in one of your future videos: If awareness/consciousness is at peace, what is it manifesting for (Is it manifesting?)? Why doesn't it lay at peace, in happiness? That very push ( to know itself through manifestation doesn't demonstrate a lack of that very peace?
Rupert, “numbing your suffering with beliefs”.... is the best statement ever concerning self-deception. Exactly what happen when a “clown” well trained on spiritual path claims the teachings to perpetrate himself, keeping suffering in apparent existence, but without touching it nor embracing it. ...empty and open space knows no resistance, only an object in it can be resistant. My gratitude for your impersonal and intimate way to teach is beyond my ability to name it.
Fascinating! So the implication is that Mary has a purpose for using the idea of Jane; ie god/awareness uses the illusion of ‘me’ for learning lucid living!
Mark Imel Except there is no separate self to think about a separate self. 🙂That would be like attributing a thought that appears within a dream to the character in the dream (Jane), rather than to Awareness (Mary). ❤️
@@markimel4947 It is materialistic analogy. It implies that mind is thinking about mind. In spirituality it is called as introspection. Introspection do happen many times, but how will you define consciousness then which enable introspection. In your analogy eternal, infinite, unchanging consciousness is reducible to constantly flickering introspection by the mind on the mind. This further imply that this flickering of mind is the emergent property of brain, which is technically speaking correct. But in this process you negate the existence of consciousness altogether. This is the Buddhist way. It gives you only partial depiction of reality but not whole nondual picture of existence. Anyway, congratulations!! you are the new Buddha 😂👍
Wow, finally this has bothered me for a long time. We are not saying the ego is an ultimate problem to awareness, but it is clearly a problem to you. & its not helpful to fool yourself in saying the ego is not a problem.
Spot on with the comment that once the "hurt self" is discovered to be an illusory creation then future hurts and resentments will cease to have the impact they have for whoever is caught up with them.
I have a philosophical or semantic problem with the separation of body and mind. For the moment let's say i can accept awareness as needing nothing. But in my opinion the mind is an extension or an expression of the body. When the body dies . . . the thoughts it had ( the mind or the ego ) also eventually dissolve. Not so ????
If there is desire, there is an entity. Both desire and the entity appear in Awareness, but Awareness is independent and complete, untouched and free from any wants.
Suffering without resistance equals happiness, but not necessarily a smile. Happiness can be a very confusing word when the separate self tries to know what it is. From the point of view of suffering, happiness may almost feel like an insult. Perhaps the word pain is a less confusing description than happiness. It accommodates what is felt without judging it as good or bad, and leaves room for 'healing'.
Developing strength of awareness is gaining the ability to think thoughts and experience perception without losing self-awareness. - Ramana Maharishi. Same as learning to dream lucidly.
Sometimes i find it helpful to change suffer and suffering to endure and enduring in my mind.Losing the common understanding of the associated pain with sufferance tends to give a new clarity.
Meditation. :) The separate self (i.e Jane) is a constructed self through thoughts and feelings.... In the absense of thought we feel more like our "true self" i.e Mary...... Meditation helps to silence thoughts and therefore help you feel more like Mary...
Once you know the precise reason why you find yourself experiencing this world of LIMITATION, you will know that you are here for one reason and one reason only: to overcome the ego. And you will know exactly how this is accomplished. Want the greatest secret in this entire Universe? The Meaning of Life? I've got it. Seek and ye shall find.....
We lost each other because what if anger is the suffering. I cant say anger is just a play. If I say its just a play then its not anger? Its happiness?
Sounds like me my whole life. Defending myself. CPTSD at 12 years from a pedo priest. Memory just surfaced 3 years ago when I moved back to my hometown after 35 years and the local paper published the names of convicted pedo priests. I have gone from relative love to Absolute Love.
This is how religion should’ve been structured from the beginning. Like an explanation of all things that appear real to us, and how it connects to something that is infinite, eternal, “all knowing”, all powerful. I love it. No separate god, but the one inside of us!
When we 'fall' asleep and dream, we 'fall' asleep to our conscious self or forget ourself and 'fall' into identification with the main character of the dream. Then as we wake up from the dream to our conscious self or remember ourself we recognize that we were dreaming. We do the same thing in the waking state. We 'fall' asleep to our eternal that I am, forget ourself, and become identified with some temporal portion of our experience, of what I am as an embodied human being and/or who I am, which changes with time, place and circumstance. When we wake up and remember ourself, our true eternal nature as that I am, we transition from the compulsive reactivity of the caterpillar to the conscious responsivity of the butterfly.
The ego with a healthy physical and spiritual self- will do what it's meant to do properly. Serve the self. The spiritual self will in turn serve the physical form with the proper guidance to enjoying the moment. Sweet dreams.
So if we are happy and accepting there is nothing left to do? Or is it impossible to be happy while you're alive? Is having intellectual curiosity suffering?
Funny, after I heard that analogy of marry and Jane, I dreamt that I was in a cafeteria of nothing but me’s!!! I proceeded to say, “it’s like a bunch of ‘doppelgänger’s on the outside” perhaps I’m taking this analogy further, all of the “other” selves in the dream are just MARY.
Ego is a "problem," only if it is regarded as a sum total of the Self. The greatest atrocities of human history have been perpetrated in a quest for the immortality of the ego, which is a transient illusion.
When he says: "when 'we' forget..." it must be referring to infinite consciousness forgetting, therefore if forgetting is a problem then the problem is with consciousness, on the other hand, if forgetting is not a problem, then that we forget and think of problems and things we do that are wrong even when just judged by us, we should not try to get rid or solve or trying remember what we forgot, as forgetting is natural and nothing wrong or in need of remembering. this is crucial in order to to cast away Rupert's approach of non duality as contradictory. by the way, all non dual teachings end up with this contradiction. In any case, if one blames the apparent self and not consciousness, still have to deal with the second part of my clarification. my conclusion is that consciousness, although atemporal and at rest, in its activity is lacking the power over the problems that our apparent self meets daily. the proof of this lack is that its activity in duality we have experienced this very lack of not corresponding to what is, surely, the problem should not be found in the apparent self, as it is just a production of awareness in whatever form it takes. Unless you make a distinction between ourselves as awareness and God as the Awareness of God, we will miss the additional life of God, which is the power that we lack, shown in His expression in Jesus, which by the Spirit make us partake of the life that overcame evil in duality including his body in physical resurrection.
We have to understand that suffering is not the result of loosing a job or have a sickness or to loose a loved one.This is pain. Suffering is the result of the identification with the one who lost the job, or the one one who is sick etc. Once we recognize that this one does not exist, then suffering ends, but pain remain. In that way, the body mind complex will be able to cope more efficiently with the pain and even be able to be at peace in the middle of the painful circumstances generated with our present situation.

Yes . Not believing God is the serious problem of mankind in this earth . A person make himself ill by resentment and it produce a sense of guilt , fear and anxiety . The origin of all these deviations, are the results of misinformed consciences. Simply living without any further expectations in life , that continually spoiling the thoughts and quickly falls in to subjugation ,the root of slavery. So faith in God is an essential form of strength and courage that take him to life that produces sweetest fruits. Thank you.
The separate self is not the problem, nor is the dream. But the mistaken identification is, since it is the cause of suffering. Believing that our suffering is not a problem because it all appears in awareness, is spiritual bypassing which eventually doesn't bring us happiness. We are learning how to dream without forgetting we are infinite consciousness. Let's dream a dream of love, in love, as love ❤️
Infinite consciousness, or God, doesn't dream. It knows only infinite Love - perfect infinite, indivisible being. The dream and dreamer are one and the same and arise only from the one belief in objectivity. It is a machine thought that spins out an endless narrative, and its "goal" or "intent" is to perpetuate itself by obscuring the everpresent Reality of divine Mind. It is "the one lie and liar". It can never make matter, minds, or lives. It can only spin out unreal data.
Yes. And ultimately we are learning not to have these painful dreams by not DESIRING them. Once you know the reason why you find yourself experiencing this world of LIMITATION, you know that you are here for one reason and one reason only: to overcome the ego by overcoming the desire that "created" the ego. Want the greatest secret in this entire Universe? The Meaning of Life? I've got it. Seek and ye shall find.....
I wonder if anyone can help me clarify something: When he talks about doing something, coming from a place of awareness, does that mean that if you do want to do something which does come from a place of happiness and joy, but it also has aspects of coming from a separate self, should one not do it until such times as it comes from a ‘pure’ place of awareness? I can’t entirely differentiate and it sounds like until such times as we completely disassociate from the separate self, we shouldn’t do anything? I’m confused.

Very good. When you mistake Ego for yourself.

If there's no self to then there will not be suffering
