There’s a lot of complaining about the web. I am 70, and if this kind of availability of so much rich information had been available to me 50+ years ago, what a difference it would have made!!
I have been searching for a long time and I finally found my teacher. I live my life with this understanding and all the divine qualities are manifesting. I am filled with love compassion and empathy. I find everything and everyone so beautiful. I finally realized that it is so much more intensive to love than be loved. Thank you Rupert🙏❤️
I think starting today I am going to quit watching spiritual videos and just practice being aware in everyday life. I think I've gained all I can from teachers.
I recently attended one of Rupert's retreats and a woman who had been to five retreats stood up at one point and said, essentially "thank you so much for all the teaching... This will be my last retreat because I think I've gotten it." Rupert was delighted. it was a wonderful moment.
Omg ! That was the most incredible experience while investigating under the influence on a small dose of mushrooms ...just enough to help blur and soften that thicker layer of preconceptions... I not only understood intellectually but experienced it as real. Rupert ...thank you! I will be revisiting this !
There is absolutely nothing to say. It is absolutely mind-boggling to even think that such a clarity of understanding is possible for a human mind. Thank you for sharing and making it available for me. I am truly blessed to have the opportunity to hear this wonderful meditation . With deep heartfelt gratitude and love thank you.🙏
@@db8799 it’s an interest topic, isn’t it? The place! That’s not entangled, can’t be named. When you’re in it, you’re it.. everything, and so it’s unbound, and any binding is a dream.. such a tricky topic, but the reality so surreal.. a sphere of truth, untouched .. The reality is so large, that’s the beautiful thing about it.
*I think these "Meditations" so soft, so calm are the very best videos on Rupert Spira. I learn more from that at a slow pace than all those other videos. We need more videos like that, with excellent image and excellent sound.*
Best meditation I've heard. My mind tries to conceptualize as Rupert explains what our essential nature is, there is no exact conceptualization possible so I start going deeper to beyond thought, to pure sensations, then just a sense of being, maybe vibrations of thoughts wanting to form.
Man I had my spiritual awakening February 2019. I’ve listen to a lot of people and they’re all excellent. I just found this guy three days ago. Holy cow is he good. So thankful
@@georgialee01 awesome! Tom has soon much information for free on his RUclips. Countless hours of it. So If you are ever thirsty for some mind blowing ideas
I have spent many years reading east and western philosophies and studied psychology. Many terms bandied about like the nature of mind and non duality are constantly discussed. Even though many great teachers have direct experience of these concepts they seem unable to create a dialogue which properly explains the mechanism of their experiences. They seem to know but lack the words. Even greats like Krishnamirti say “ you just need to be aware” But what does that mean? Rupert has power of speech and clarity which is rare. You could spend decades with religious paraphernalia and not get a message like this. Thanks 🙏
@Tim Ryan for you. Dont tell others what to believe. Its hostile, self absorbed and certainly an indication that you lack any real wisdom that could help humanity. Peace
I wanted to express to Rupert how much I love and appreciate what he is sharing with us and just then my heart opened and I realized I didn’t need to say anything . But I will anyways . I will come back to you for years to come dear friend as the layers come off and I’m ready to understand .
WoW...Relatively speaking, it's an absolute privilege to encounter such clarity and to be able to understand and start the day enveloped in this understanding is beyond words...Thanks for posting...I A(nama rupa)M !!!
At the retreat I recently attended with Rupert presiding, and which he touches upon here is that crucial distinction between what he called the "via negativa"(that which we disassociate from as expressed in thoughts, feelings, perceptions) and then the subsequent integration of the Awareness experience with those outside objects. That completes the process
I am drowning in fear and terror and shame and guilt and grief. SO. MUCH. GRIEF. Drowning in all of it. Suffocating underneath the weight of all of it. It's too much. I can't take it. It's all too much. The pain: unbearable. True love, for me: impossible. I can't take the stress, the humiliation, the agony, the pain. I am tortured and overwhelmed.
Love you Rupert... You are awesome.. You are me...You are conciousness itself... I am one with you.. Thanks for making me realize of my own self... I know you now conciousely... Subjectively... life is not an objective experience... It is subjective... Thanks for getting me rid of all the pains of objective.. egoistic and conditioned world of nonrealistic...Illusioned.. Dream like life... I am nothing...nothing is me.. I am only nothingness...
The clarity in Mr Spira teaching! It is so simple, so practicable. Consciousness appearing as a world. This is so much fun! Laughter. Then silence. Thank you for posting.
I find greater depths each time I listen. It's amusing and exciting when something I've heard before, even something that has been profoundly revelatory, continues to unlock more doors. Heartfelt gratitude, Rupert, for your miraculous experiential guidance 🙏
The ultimate satsang. Rupert's representation of the nature of reality is so obviously and deeply true as to end all discussions on the matter. I am infinitely grateful to you, my dear. One with you all.
I had to replay some parts over and over to make sure I understood thoroughly. Absolutely awesome. Thank you @RupertSpira for your translucent clarity.
Thank you for this video of Rupert's talk. It's so amazingly chock full that any ten minutes of it can be a contemplation all on its own. He is sharing so many pointers while simultaneously being a pointer. And I may be finally ready to recieve such poitings. How fortuitous for me to find th is years old talk. Many thanks
Only the dreamer is infinite but the truth is finite , the dreamer is dreaming of his dream to be true and all resonating at the same frequency relates to the dreamer but every other day he does loses path and bringing his perceptions and conclusions into play of is own dream.. and world says what a marvelous man he is. Take care
I know the Rupert has got a deep understanding of the nature of reality, which is really great to hear amongst all the purists non-duelity teachers I have heard, I find them a bit extreme and impractical, but possibly a bit of humour would not go amiss during these satsangs. Thank you. Blessings, Yogi Paulo.
Who started all these gurus sitting with a flower arrangement on their right, each one having a rather simplistic set of ideas, which they repeat in numerous videos, with a lot of pregnant pauses, and soporific delivery? Spiritual masters have great vitality, they love life, are full of great compassion. They throw the moneylenders out of the temple. They have endlessly new streams of responses to people, based on the individual’s particular character and predicament. How would you feel about a doctor who handed out the same prescription to all the patients?
Quite honestly, the most clear inquiry into experience I have ever encountered . But I almost missed the most important part - the end...simply mind-blowing. If Nagarjuna himself could have guided this meditation he would probably have said much the same: it's all open-ended, ultimately.
I'm in a weird situation with a man. I think I love him, but... I don't know if this thing we have is actually healthy, or really just another trauma bond. I need prayers. Him and I both do, that whatever this is between us, will ultimately be for our own healing. And that we will co-create something that is loving and magical and beautiful and happy and wonderful and miraculous and healthy, together. Love and/or friendship to last lifetimes...
I don't understand why is so important to realize that all thoughts, feelings, perceptions,etc occur in that so call awareness or empty infinite space and all sort of fancy words. I'd like these gurus to explain with plain words how to deal with emotions or feelings which cause on people anxiety, anger, frustration and all sorts. I womder how would an enlightened person act if their family was threatened with violence?
Hi, I know that you commented a year ago, but I thought I would respond with a suggestion for you. Look up a gentleman named Neville Goddard. You can find many of his lectures (he passed from this world in 1972), on a youtube channel called "100k Watt". Phenomenal man and he literally changed my life. Also, others on YT read his lectures and books. A few are Brian Scott from "Reality Revolution", Lila from "Nevillution" and another one who reads his books and lectures is Josiah Brandt.

It would be worth your time to check these out. And good luck with your journey. 😊
1. you are not your feelings, emotions and thoughts 2. whatever happens in the universe is the best for you 3.enlgihtened people have feelings and emotions too but the difference is how they see the thing. their level of consciousness determines how to see things.
You deal with emotions or feelings, perceived threats by placing your identity on awareness and not on the body or the brain which is subject to those emotions and perceived threats. If you manage to transfer your sense of identity to awareness these things lose power over you and you may experience enduring peace and happiness. The problem is most people really want to identify with their body, thoughts, and emotions, for various reasons, and then cannot find relief from the resulting suffering. Regarding the threat of violence, you can identify with awareness and still act appropriately to prevent the violence, but without the psychological suffering.
I liked the talk between Rupert, and Sam Harris, who agreed mostly with this newly (accepted) revealed truth. I still don't know or don't think that Sam fully agrees with all objects NOT being separate.
I COMPREHEND that my perception (with my causes, effects) places me here and I experience the world in or from my mind! BUT there has to be a dream (mine) WITHIN a (larger) dream (GOD'S) mind (UNIVERSE) because I cannot see my creations of grains of sand, a solar system, on and on. These objects exist whether I perceive them or not. Yes, I agree that IT'S all IN consciousness BUT IT'S not all in my consciousness when I don't look AT it.. I've always understood The Absolute contains everything. And IT is Consciousness!
I feel so bad of this. Ok and if I can’t sit straight or lie down without pain, also cannot breathe properly.. then what? This just remains a dream for me :(
All these spiritual teachers just state the obvious, and the obvious does not reside in words. We don't need to awaken because it is what it is. You don't need divine connection to be explained, it is what it is. Spiritual teachers bleet on and on, at least the ones on RUclips do anyway
When I had anesthesia for surgery as a child, I recall consciousness ending. When in the recovery room I recall consciousness returning. That said consciousness did appear to have an 'Ending' and a 'Beginning', I feel despair that I don't know what is real.
Who this object (person) who experienced this subject (consciousness). All process must be happening in something that didn't begin or end. It isn't possible to experience a beginning if the thing that is experiencing that beginning wasn't there already...before the beginning.
@Midiwave Products: Hey you seem like someone that has studied and figured a lot of this stuff out. Do you mind if I email you with a few questions I have on this topic?
I had the same experience. As a kid. When i first heared of never ending consciousness, it never coming and leaving, the only experience i had for comparison was my fainting. Losing it. That forced me to search ahead and find why would many intelligent ppl claim that consciousness doesnt come and leave. I had to accept the fact that when ppl die the world goes on as if nothing happened. Babies are being born. Old folks die. We faint. Lose consciousness. The truth is brutal. When i fainted, everything vanished from consciousness. But there were ppl around still experiencing content in consciousness. They took care of me. I was rushed into hospital and after some time i came to. The content was back. So what is going on here budy, is saying, the consciousness that you experience through content is the same consciousness of the dude who died. If it so happens that with our death we vanish completely from consciousness as it is, no afterlife, no aftermath, the content still occurs through every other pair of eyes. If that is the case, and we cease to exist as individuals you could never ever be aware of it, losing consciousness is not a matter of content. There's nothing there to be aware of. But look around while you still in the game and see that consciousness is just one. A fenomenon. Not a being individual, but a platform for content. It is kind of brutal to say that a sweet little kitten is only a content, but hey, that's what we are. Content in consciousness. Then we say, hey i wanna be the consciousness. Yeah? Sure thing. There. You are now officially absolute darkness, total non existence, complete absense. You cant afford to say even I AM. You are pure unadulterated consciousness. There :) congrats! Brutal dose of humor. Lol Sorry for messing with you. I really am P.S. there is something very important to understand as well from there. And it is that what consciousness is causes existence. Its nature is such that it's presence causes content. They sort of perpetuate each other Ok bye :)
What I'm having trouble understanding is what is the world? These patterns,forms and shapes that appear in Awareness are not random... which means there is something to figure out here. Also is it possible to experience the world as Awareness or only as a limited-self through the mind?
The mind doesnt exist, it is symbolic for what already IS and that is YOU which is your Creative Heart which IS awareness..By being yourself you can know all things and even yourself. Enlightenment means you know YOU...its not a difficult. All which occurs happens inside of you. These shapes you see are not shapes at all, it is the perception of reality that you see these things which are actually Nothing. They can be readily changed if you discover yourself.
I like the analogy of the fact that flat earth used to be believed until it was proved otherwise, so its easy, these days, to prove that. but I find very little evidence that consciousness is either finite or infinite. Im one of those scientist types that belives Consciousness is emergent from complexity and we will discover this soon in AI, Im liking the God / Love / Happiness anology though and trying to remain open minded
Lovely Brillant though to learn much deeply imagination of awareness the fact of perception of emotion feelings of every human being of our self alone and to others to overcome Fears Love ❤️
Rupert please answer me as easily and as directly as possible. A Yes or No answer would be a good place to begin. Is dead an experience that we are aware of? Is being dead the very same as deep sleep? If one listens to Tony Parsons version of non-duality then death IS the same as deep sleep. 'All Unknowing.'
Imagine you’re playing a game in virtual reality mode and in the game you are a two dimensional line so you can’t see or move up or down in space, you can only do forwards and backwards, and now you’re done with the game and you’re exiting the virtual mode of two dimensions and are back again in your three dimensional body and world where you can see an do so much more than if you were a simple line or dot. “Death”!must be like that in my opinion, whatever the circumstances for it, you’re existing this world and you find yourself in your real world but unencumbered by your body limitations. You would know everything, see everything, hear instantaneously etc...
@June VanDerMark You are becoming dualistic here(ego - that I and the creator are different), our effort here is not to worship the creator but to realise we are the same creator(consciousness).
@@vr9955 I've heard all that new-age jargon many times of "I'm not religious, I'm spiritual." And that is plain bunk. You either believe that the universe was created by a creator, or, you believe as did Stephen Hawking before he died, that the universe in one form or another always existed, no creator involved, which would mean that suffering is natural, and we are no more spiritual (creators of our own fate) than are monkeys, or crocodiles. You can't eat your cake and have it too.
@@vr9955 Those words "soul" and "spirit," that were conjured into language by theologians, were meant to hoodwink us into believing that a creator of the universe existed to in turn select only human consciousness to be of importance.
@@vr9955 Humans are the only animals that make a big deal out of hallucinations. Example: Dogs relate to words, such as “Come and get your treat,” or, “Let’s go for a walk!” But dogs do not relate to the words, soul-travel, or, spiritual, or, reincarnation, or salvation, or heaven, or hell. Those words were placed in human imaginations by other humans, that, in turn, suffered from over-active imaginations, known as hallucinations.
I don't know if I've missed something or if anyone could correct me. He says that all experience happens in awareness. That 'things' externally, ie a chair, are only known about IN awareness so he says they must be WITHIN awareness, not actually external. But what if awareness is just like a camera lens, taking in what actually exists externally. So rather than the chair being in awareness, the chair is external and awareness is just seeing it through its lens?
No. Rupert isn’t guessing. He’s speaking from direct experience, which is the point of the direct path or Zen, meditation, etc.. The difficulty for teachers is speaking to different levels of students, who respond differently to certain descriptions or explanations. If one watches a number of Rupert’s videos, one will see that he addresses that. As one example, he uses the words awareness or consciousness, but also uses the Zen term One Mind. But he also acknowledges that the ultimate is incomparable and that it’s beyond name or description.
All there is is experience and all there is to experience is the knowing of it. Therefore all there is is knowing. Another word for knowing is awareness or consciousness. Your mind wants to make it into a 'thing' such as energy. It isn't a 'thing'

Also, others on YT read his lectures and books.

I liked the talk between Rupert, and Sam Harris, who agreed mostly with this newly (accepted) revealed truth. I still don't know or don't think that Sam fully agrees with all objects NOT being separate.
I COMPREHEND that my perception (with my causes, effects) places me here and I experience the world in or from my mind! BUT there has to be a dream (mine) WITHIN a (larger) dream (GOD'S) mind (UNIVERSE) because I cannot see my creations of grains of sand, a solar system, on and on. These objects exist whether I perceive them or not.
Yes, I agree that IT'S all IN consciousness BUT IT'S not all in my consciousness when I don't look AT it.. I've always understood The Absolute contains everything. And IT is Consciousness!
Please, someone help me. If awareness and consciousness are the same, who is aware of the consciousness or the awareness?
Yes it is same.
You can say consciousness is conscious of awareness or you can say
Awareness is awareness of consciousness
Hi. _Enjoy your day._ 🔥🔥
I feel so bad of this. Ok and if I can’t sit straight or lie down without pain, also cannot breathe properly.. then what? This just remains a dream for me :(
I recommend looking into Neville Goddard here on youtube. 'Neville and the Law' is a good channel. Also 'Nevillution'.
Blessings ✨
The end of all seeking. Be here now
Thank you❤❤
Thank you
Wonderful!
I salute you extensions of mine... or otherwise I salute myself through you, yous... ❤️
All these spiritual teachers just state the obvious, and the obvious does not reside in words. We don't need to awaken because it is what it is. You don't need divine connection to be explained, it is what it is. Spiritual teachers bleet on and on, at least the ones on RUclips do anyway
When I had anesthesia for surgery as a child, I recall consciousness ending. When in the recovery room I recall consciousness returning. That said consciousness did appear to have an 'Ending' and a 'Beginning', I feel despair that I don't know what is real.
Who this object (person) who experienced this subject (consciousness). All process must be happening in something that didn't begin or end. It isn't possible to experience a beginning if the thing that is experiencing that beginning wasn't there already...before the beginning.
Workdove : That which saw consciousness begin and end is what you are: awareness. Awareness doesn't need an object. Consciousness does.
Your mind was just not able to recognize consciousness and remember it because of the anesthesia. The mind was asleep.
@Midiwave Products: Hey you seem like someone that has studied and figured a lot of this stuff out. Do you mind if I email you with a few questions I have on this topic?
I had the same experience. As a kid. When i first heared of never ending consciousness, it never coming and leaving, the only experience i had for comparison was my fainting. Losing it.
That forced me to search ahead and find why would many intelligent ppl claim that consciousness doesnt come and leave.
I had to accept the fact that when ppl die the world goes on as if nothing happened. Babies are being born. Old folks die. We faint. Lose consciousness. The truth is brutal. When i fainted, everything vanished from consciousness. But there were ppl around still experiencing content in consciousness. They took care of me. I was rushed into hospital and after some time i came to. The content was back. So what is going on here budy, is saying, the consciousness that you experience through content is the same consciousness of the dude who died. If it so happens that with our death we vanish completely from consciousness as it is, no afterlife, no aftermath, the content still occurs through every other pair of eyes. If that is the case, and we cease to exist as individuals you could never ever be aware of it, losing consciousness is not a matter of content. There's nothing there to be aware of. But look around while you still in the game and see that consciousness is just one. A fenomenon. Not a being individual, but a platform for content. It is kind of brutal to say that a sweet little kitten is only a content, but hey, that's what we are. Content in consciousness. Then we say, hey i wanna be the consciousness. Yeah? Sure thing. There. You are now officially absolute darkness, total non existence, complete absense. You cant afford to say even I AM. You are pure unadulterated consciousness. There :) congrats! Brutal dose of humor. Lol
Sorry for messing with you. I really am
P.S. there is something very important to understand as well from there. And it is that what consciousness is causes existence. Its nature is such that it's presence causes content. They sort of perpetuate each other
Ok bye :)
What I'm having trouble understanding is what is the world? These patterns,forms and shapes that appear in Awareness are not random... which means there is something to figure out here. Also is it possible to experience the world as Awareness or only as a limited-self through the mind?
The mind doesnt exist, it is symbolic for what already IS and that is YOU which is your Creative Heart which IS awareness..By being yourself you can know all things and even yourself. Enlightenment means you know YOU...its not a difficult. All which occurs happens inside of you. These shapes you see are not shapes at all, it is the perception of reality that you see these things which are actually Nothing. They can be readily changed if you discover yourself.
The only thing flat-earthers fear, is sphere itself.
Lol
I like the analogy of the fact that flat earth used to be believed until it was proved otherwise, so its easy, these days, to prove that. but I find very little evidence that consciousness is either finite or infinite. Im one of those scientist types that belives Consciousness is emergent from complexity and we will discover this soon in AI, Im liking the God / Love / Happiness anology though and trying to remain open minded
wow wow wow - thank you
He uses the phrase 'by definition' whenever he means 'is self-evident.'
Very effective sleeping aid.
What produces the content of our awareness?
Water is precious
I have no words
Lovely Brillant though to learn much deeply imagination of awareness the fact of perception of emotion feelings of every human being of our self alone and to others to overcome Fears Love ❤️
Rupert please answer me as easily and as directly as possible. A Yes or No answer would be a good place to begin.
Is dead an experience that we are aware of?
Is being dead the very same as deep sleep?
If one listens to Tony Parsons version of non-duality then death IS the same as deep sleep. 'All Unknowing.'
Imagine you’re playing a game in virtual reality mode and in the game you are a two dimensional line so you can’t see or move up or down in space, you can only do forwards and backwards, and now you’re done with the game and you’re exiting the virtual mode of two dimensions and are back again in your three dimensional body and world where you can see an do so much more than if you were a simple line or dot. “Death”!must be like that in my opinion, whatever the circumstances for it, you’re existing this world and you find yourself in your real world but unencumbered by your body limitations. You would know everything, see everything, hear instantaneously etc...
Who plays the musics that are at the start of these meditations ? they are so beautiful
At the very end of the video it says: Music by Brian Crain.

For the sake of sharing his insight, language is used, but keep in mind, that language itself limits and tries to describe the indescribable.
If a soul existed that could think, would it want to be forced to worship its creator?
@June VanDerMark You are becoming dualistic here(ego - that I and the creator are different), our effort here is not to worship the creator but to realise we are the same creator(consciousness).
@@vr9955 I've heard all that new-age jargon many times of "I'm not religious, I'm spiritual." And that is plain bunk. You either believe that the universe was created by a creator, or, you believe as did Stephen Hawking before he died, that the universe in one form or another always existed, no creator involved, which would mean that suffering is natural, and we are no more spiritual (creators of our own fate) than are monkeys, or crocodiles.
You can't eat your cake and have it too.
@@vr9955 Those words "soul" and "spirit," that were conjured into language by theologians, were meant to hoodwink us into believing that a creator of the universe existed to in turn select only human consciousness to be of importance.
@@vr9955 Humans are the only animals that make a big deal out of hallucinations. Example: Dogs relate to words, such as “Come and get your treat,” or, “Let’s go for a walk!” But dogs do not relate to the words, soul-travel, or, spiritual, or, reincarnation, or salvation, or heaven, or hell. Those words were placed in human imaginations by other humans, that, in turn, suffered from over-active imaginations, known as hallucinations.
💟Thank Y😇u Rupert🪷 for Being As The Clear🌅Transperency for God's lnfinite Intelligence to f l o w⛲ through and Reveal lTS PURE KNOWING 🙏Namaste 🦋
I don't know if I've missed something or if anyone could correct me. He says that all experience happens in awareness. That 'things' externally, ie a chair, are only known about IN awareness so he says they must be WITHIN awareness, not actually external. But what if awareness is just like a camera lens, taking in what actually exists externally. So rather than the chair being in awareness, the chair is external and awareness is just seeing it through its lens?
No. Rupert isn’t guessing. He’s speaking from direct experience, which is the point of the direct path or Zen, meditation, etc..
The difficulty for teachers is speaking to different levels of students, who respond differently to certain descriptions or explanations.
If one watches a number of Rupert’s videos, one will see that he addresses that. As one example, he uses the words awareness or consciousness, but also uses the Zen term One Mind. But he also acknowledges that the ultimate is incomparable and that it’s beyond name or description.
@@renko9067 thanks for taking the time to reply Renko :)
@@user-ld9sl9ko7g thank you for that info and taking the time to reply 🙂
So is it all energy?. And perception, awareness of energy?.
All there is is experience and all there is to experience is the knowing of it. Therefore all there is is knowing. Another word for knowing is awareness or consciousness. Your mind wants to make it into a 'thing' such as energy. It isn't a 'thing'
Funny today I filmed a train passing at station must be synchronicity yes ?
