What a beautiful concept! 'Each of our minds is a window through which God sees the world.' ❤ This should bring us close to each other and to God without belonging to any religion or irrespective of our religion
Simply put consciousness put virtual reality glasses in order to experience the game. When you go into a virtual reality game you forget yourself and get into character to play when you take your glasses off you realize it was just a game.
Haha... Yes but u see the problem here is that u are no longer urself when u remove the Glasses so how can u realise that it was a game or that u were wearing glasses in the first place....😅
Look at this verse, it sign or proof that maybe this life is just Virtual Reality.. "Did We fail in the first creation? But they are in confusion over a new creation. And We have already created man and know what his soul whispers to him, and We are closer to him than [his] jugular vein When the two receivers receive, seated on the right and on the left. Man does not utter any word except that with him is an observer prepared [to record]. And the intoxication of death will bring the truth; that is what you were trying to avoid. And the Horn will be blown. That is the Day of [carrying out] the threat. And every soul will come, with it a driver and a witness. [It will be said], "You were certainly in unmindfulness of this, and We have removed from you your cover, so your sight, this Day, is sharp." And his companion, [the angel], will say, "This [record] is what is with me, prepared." (Quran, Qaf 15-23) Your comment precisely similiar as quran say about day of judgement (day of resurrection)... Yes, maybe we are life in some kind of VR Realm... The Veil will be removed from our consciousness one day.. So, we are able to see another Reality and everything... And All Praised for The Lord Of The Worlds.. Allah The Almighty One..
Great (as usual)! Dear @RupertSpira what you said here ( @23:14 ) just reminded me of a poem by Sheikh Baha'i (a Persian 17th century philosopher, poet and wise), I am trying to do my best in translation: "No matter which door I knock on, you are the owner of that house! No matter which room I reside in, you are the light of that room! In the tavern, or in the temple, you are the awakening force... Either I call a place pagoda or a mosque, it is only a valueless label, as you are the mere purpose!"
Sam Harris brought me here. This is absolutely one of the best talks I’ve heard. I have moments of pure enlightenment when listening to Rupert. He takes me home. Peace, love & unity, friends xx
@@angelinasamba620 hello Angelina. Yes, sure. On Sam Harris’ waking up app he has a talk with Rupert which is very informative and interesting. I don’t think it is posted anywhere else online. Let me know if you’d like a free month of the waking up app and I will send you a link.
Having had a near death experience, I know our true nature is immensely peaceful, all expanding, timeless and overwhelmingly full of Love (words cannot really convey the experience). In that state it is not possible to experience other human emotions like pain, struggles & suffering. Therefore Ruperts explanation of needing the mind to have other experiences.
wonderful thoughts iona and having been there as a the I, your pure self, you understand better than the audience what he is trying to explain, infinite awareness needs to collapse into the finite mind in order to experience our world within this universe.
I just arrived to Amsterdam three months ago, I came from an Islamic background. and I got the see here so far all the things you talked about Rupert spira. You just made me realize that it is beautiful. and it felt so
The countless teachings I have come across remind me of how a computer works. But it is computers that are like God and the universe and not the other way around. God exists in the eternal sacred now of "knowing" while our experience is dynamic and pliable and variable. Think of God as a hard drive while our experience is like the CPU and activities played out on our LED monitors. Imagine how your hard drive surface is still, silent and all knowing of everything that can possibly take place on your computer's environment. But when you place your awareness and consciousness at the computer screen of a game like Sim City you see people walking round, cars crashing, buildings getting built etc. But all the while if you place your consciousness and awareness at the hard drive it is tomb quiet and still on the surface even though there is correspondence back and forth from the hard drive. There is nothing that can happen in the Sim City Environment that is not really information on the hard drive brought to life via the CPU. God's CPU is massive layers of mathematics and geometry that simulate time and allow the eternal now to change and grow in a series of infinite nows. If you want to change what happens on the screen in your Sim City you don't get a screw driver and disassemble your computer monitor and move things around. You must take actions to change them on your hard drive for them to manifest as changes on your computer screen. This is why you must always make manifestations in the now, and why you must make changes in the unseen first for them to come about in the seen. Imagine focusing your consciousness and awareness as you contemplate a huge oak tree. If you contemplate and focus on the roots underground it is a solemn and still, quiet place. But if you place your awareness up at the leaves blowing and waving in the wind in the beautiful sunlight you have a completely different dynamic experience.
At first this made me sad, but now I think I understand. Because my path was saying that I am not the mind. But I think that I understand that the mind is the imagination of awareness and it’s made out of awareness. So no it’s us in the ABSOLUTE but us in the relative.
Watching this i remembered a lot about what i knew like 13 or 14 years ago, but forgot after i had a mild brain-inflamation... the last 13 years i was in constant lack of this understanding and my life went basicly nowhere ..."nevermind" ... a lot of this "knowing" comes back, throu meditation and watching this video increased this "knowing" ...i really feel you awakened that "knowing" for a lack of a better word... basicly you reminded me that i am more than i understand i am ..and this more is experiencing itself throu "me" ... wow, i should listen to more of your videos !
“Evolution is the path chosen by spirit to know itself.” I had heard this spoken elsewhere and was inspired to say this after watching this video (again)
Without a believed in word, God does not exist, there is just what’s happening without a label. If you view the qualities of God as that which is omnipresent, omnipresent, and omniscient, God is all there is and there is only God. God is everything. How can everything need anything?
His words here are a gift. A gift for those of us seeking. But especially for a newer aged like seeker. Not down the Indian spectacle that now surrounds waking up. Call him a gem for "Western" seekers. By Western I mean having Zero prior experience to consciousness... prior to starting their search. You are a gift from grace Rupert. You are the reason I was able to start Settling into my spiritual maturity. Mooji got me to maybe Stage 2 or 2.5. Rupert is helping me understand what Mooji helped me to experience. Shout out to Sam Harris and Exkhart Tolle too... for giving us a Non "Indian like" traditional route to Freedom.
Buddhist Zen teachers explain it like this, in reality there is only one consciousness! But consciousness has eight aspects. They are the five senses, eyes, ears, nose, tounge, touch, plus mind consciousness . There is also manas consciouness whose purpose is to identify whatever arises, but then unfortunately mistakenly believes this identification as a seperate identity/self. And there is store consciousness , which stores all expeirence of the material world including the other seven consciousness. In Buddhist psychology there's only one reality one consciousness. But in the taking of form displays 8 characteristics. When manas realises its true purpose/self, manas free's itself from ego identity, this is enlightenment.
Thank you Rupert! At the end of listening to A Course in Miracles,a statement was given to help me awaken to the infinite intelligence within me, which i repeated daily, it says ‘i do not know the thing I am,where i am or how to look upon the world or on myself’ at first I didn’t even understand it to know how God could answer the question but watching your videos have helped me understand and is daily awakening me.....I will meet you soon.❤️
According to Rupert's words, there is an existing world and there is God, and God can dress in the thought for discovering the world. My question is who created the same world that God is trying to discover? Does the world exist by itself? If the world exists in itself, isn't there a contradiction in duality?
Listen more carefully... the world isn't really there, it's an appearance within consiousness produced by consiousness's own activity. The mind and the world are inseparable. Put your attention on your experience right now, is there any experience happening outside of you? You only experience within yourself and consiousness is the life that pervades it all.
For such an enlightened guy Rupert interrupts people quite often. Even with his discussion with Deepak Chopra, he was constantly interrupting and trying to one-up him with some even greater truth.
Great stuff. I am taken by where you said. The knowing that the mind with a small m is just a forum for consciousness to see itself...the knowing of this truth allows us to see the face of god in everything we see in the world including ourselves. Such vital knowledge this. Thank you
12:46 - Consciousness looks through each of our finite minds and sees itself as the world. This is what the Sufis mean when they say "There is only God's face." and (25:45) "I knew my Lord through my Lord."
i've heard countless hours of rupert spira and other teachers and i don't think i've come to any realization at all about anything significant lol but still his voice is soothing
Sitting Bull had a vision in the Black HIlls that he gave to his people. That existence was a vast, unlimited circumference, with infinite centers within.
Depression is the way to come closer to the experience of death. For the same reason mentioned by Rupert. Thanks for your Light, Rupert🌞 I realized that my deasese was more blessing for me than curse. In being depressed I strived to find happiness. And this indicator (that I desperately needed to be happy and at peace) just proved how significant it was for me. That's why I was doing it😁
I had depression before and it was a blessing. But now I have chronic ocular pain. It has no cure. My depression of 2015 was about existence, now it's just because my disease is debilitating and painful. No one can find peac with this awful disease. I'm lost and hopeless. I want to experience death every morning.
@@Alix777. I don't know if you'd like a suggestion? It's hard that nobody can understand our deepest pains except our own selves but I think our own selves can also provide an answer.
The infinite cannot know itself as infinite unless it looks back from the perspective of the finite. The relative world provides the context the absolute needs to know itself.

Open-minded Skeptic - Hi! I notice and appreciate the thought behind your comments in many of the videos I've watched on RUclips. I'd like to know YOUR current hypothesis or ideas on the nature of consciousness and reality. Which author(s) do you believe provide the model that best fits the evidence? Whose videos, blogs, or websites would you recommend that best capture your own ideas? OR - If you have your own site or videos on this subject, even better! I'd like to have a look!
Hi OMS! I just wanted to send you a Spoiler Alert. Do you know that “pins” is actually another account for Luke Johnson/Lisa Stone/COF etc.? 🙀 Just thought you’d like to know.
considering the limitations of written and spoken human language, that is quite a neutral and accurate way of saying it. 'God' can mean different things to different people, for example to me, the universe is conscious in a way we cannot imagine, and knows what it is doing more than we do, and the universe self created or not, is that which is consider God, and that we are 'the eyes of the world (God/Nature/Universe). we are that with which God sees itself through, and Vice Versa.. the views of one, the other, both, neither, are all false views. The Enlightened One did not have a View, Except that all personal views are limited, conditioned, one sided, and false. He called them 'Dhitti' (views or attitudes), and there are different kinds. Sakaya Dhitti means belief in a separate self... Sammaa Dhitti means right view (no particular view, except that all things are impermanent, hence dis-satisfactory, and not self in nature).. Mijchaa Dhitti means 'Wrong View, or Distorted Views', and so on. Thinking Oneself has become enlightened and declaring it publicly is a sign of vipallasa (distorted understanding despite hard and meritorious practice), or vipassanupakilesa (the ten defilements of mind which arise from attaining insights into the nature of existence, and then mistakenly thinking these attainments are 'self attained' and bring the imaginary self back into the story)
As a young philosopher and artist your clips had a greatly positive impact on my perspective of reality. To see infinity beyond the senses applies not only in "matter". Grateful for these clips. They send me into lovely meditations. almost like you have bet me to my own realizations. i also rock climb, body build and hike for days on end haha
it' also strikes me when you mentioned about the face of consciousness, as it's found in the Quran this translation" Everyone upon the earth will perish, and there will remain the face of your Lord, Owner of Majesty and Honour"
If I understand Rupert properly, pure consciousness turn itself into mind in order to perceive and interact in the objective world. But once its activity is at rest “she” return to its natural undifferentiated form, in the same way “deep sleep consciousness” turn into “waking consciousness” each morning and return to deep sleep “mode” every night.
This is a powerful talk from an enlightened being to the people who desire to remember who they truly are... thank you Rupert, by hearing your talk it triggers me to remember more of the truth and knowings coming from within. It feels so peaceful and simple things become so beautiful and yet can be complicatedely magnificent. So much weight has subsided and it feels like many things are not as important as it used to be. It feels peaceful, still with contentment.
It explains consumerism: we want want want and when we get the object all desires stop and there is peace. Which of course will start again unless the source itself is recognized
Beautiful! "...in him, we live; and move; and have our being...." so says the Bible. And, so does the Gita confirm the same in “…..There is nothing, O Ajurna, moving or motionless, that can abide without me....I am the Self in the heart of all creatures”.
Three in One and One in Three constitute one's being: Free Luminosity, matter, and mind: Seer, seen, and seeing. One in Three and Three in One emerge from only this: The Knower, the known, and knowing: Being, consciousness, bliss.
Thanks. I came to the same conclusion by logic having the definition of god as almighty and all knowing. This concept is controversially disputed in Judaism.
For the space to be aware of itself it would need a physical form to house that awareness. Something must first exist to be aware. Space is not matter it is the lack of it.
Mind is an activity of consciousness is not in our everyday experience. It can’t even be understood intellectually. We feel that thoughts appear in consciousness. But where do they come from? From consciousness is the answer. But how do we experience it as a felt reality? Awareness takes the form of thoughts seems magical. The intangible becomes the tangible. The formless becomes form. The invisible becomes visible.
I get the idea/concept/truth that God Needs Our Mind to Know the World. Makes perfect sense. Definitely. However (yes the ‘however’ was coming)…if God Needs to KNOW what’s up, then why? Why does God “need” to know the horrors, sufferings, etc of this or that? If the nature of realization is bliss, what happens to all of the horrors?
Excellent explanation! It is true as far as it goes. But the word "God" in English means a number of different things, which the Hindus have individual words for. What Rupert is calling "God" is "Brahman" in Sanskrit - the Absolute non-dual reality. Once one goes into the World via the finite mind, then there is also a "God" who is the administrator of the world, called "Iswara". When asked about Iswara, Ramana Maharshi said: "Q: Is there a separate being Iswara [personal God] ? Ramana Maharshi: Yes. Q: What is he like? Ramana Maharshi: Iswara has individuality in mind and body, which are perishable, but at the same time he has also the transcendental consciousness and liberation inwardly. Iswara, the personal God, the supreme creator of the universe really does exist. But this is true only from the relative standpoint of those who have not realized the truth, those people who believe in the reality of individual souls. From the absolute standpoint the sage cannot accept any other existence than the impersonal Self [Atman or Brahman], one and formless. Iswara has a physical body, a form and a name, but it is not so gross as this material body. It can be seen in visions in the form created by the devotee. The forms and names of God are many and various and differ with each religion. His essence is the same as ours, the real Self being only one and without form. Hence forms he assumes are only creations or appearances. Iswara is immanent in every person and every object throughout the universe. The totality of all things and beings constitutes God. There is a power out of which a small fraction has become all this universe, and the remainder is in reserve. Both this reserve power plus the manifested power as material world together constitute Iswara."
What a beautiful concept! 'Each of our minds is a window through which God sees the world.' ❤ This should bring us close to each other and to God without belonging to any religion or irrespective of our religion
First time I clearly understand the Mary and Jane metaphor.
What extraordinary patience, care and love Rupert shows in his answers.

Sakaya Dhitti means belief in a separate self... Sammaa Dhitti means right view (no particular view, except that all things are impermanent, hence dis-satisfactory, and not self in nature).. Mijchaa Dhitti means 'Wrong View, or Distorted Views', and so on. Thinking Oneself has become enlightened and declaring it publicly is a sign of vipallasa (distorted understanding despite hard and meritorious practice), or vipassanupakilesa (the ten defilements of mind which arise from attaining insights into the nature of existence, and then mistakenly thinking these attainments are 'self attained' and bring the imaginary self back into the story)
As a young philosopher and artist your clips had a greatly positive impact on my perspective of reality. To see infinity beyond the senses applies not only in "matter". Grateful for these clips. They send me into lovely meditations. almost like you have bet me to my own realizations. i also rock climb, body build and hike for days on end haha
Awesome comment! I feel the same way
it' also strikes me when you mentioned about the face of consciousness, as it's found in the Quran this translation" Everyone upon the earth will perish, and there will remain the face of your Lord, Owner of Majesty and Honour"
This is Gold 🪙
Rupert the great !
You explained M in simple language with anecdotes.
This is beautiful. Im sure I would be in tears watching live as in private.
I love you Rupert! Thanks a lot.
Rupert... you are echoing my thoughts exactly but I have so many more
If I understand Rupert properly, pure consciousness turn itself into mind in order to perceive and interact in the objective world. But once its activity is at rest “she” return to its natural undifferentiated form, in the same way “deep sleep consciousness” turn into “waking consciousness” each morning and return to deep sleep “mode” every night.
Spectacular!!
This is a powerful talk from an enlightened being to the people who desire to remember who they truly are... thank you Rupert, by hearing your talk it triggers me to remember more of the truth and knowings coming from within. It feels so peaceful and simple things become so beautiful and yet can be complicatedely magnificent. So much weight has subsided and it feels like many things are not as important as it used to be. It feels peaceful, still with contentment.
"muridan",
'He' don't exhibit any needs.
Believe so..
I❤️my God,
Allh The One.
We are the universe that we know. The universe has crafted consciousness.
Being aware of neutrality is the same energy in my experience. It's just reached from a different point of awareness. TY Rupy
Just brilliant!
Thank you Rupert. I am so grateful.
It explains consumerism: we want want want and when we get the object all desires stop and there is peace. Which of course will start again unless the source itself is recognized
Beautiful!
"...in him, we live; and move; and have our being...." so says the Bible. And, so does the Gita confirm the same in “…..There is nothing, O Ajurna, moving or motionless, that can abide without me....I am the Self in the heart of all creatures”.
Wonderful clarification that dovetails nicely with the explanation of mind from the Tibetan book of the dead
o rupert é absurdo, um gênio.
This is just fantastic
This is the best explanation I’ve ever heard so far!! And I’ve heard many! Thanks so much!!
Extremely powerful video!
Sensations are activities of the Mind because in order for there to be a sensation your
Mind has to be on it. Sensations. Experiencings. Presences.
Beautiful explanation of advita well articulated
Three in One and One in Three constitute one's being:
Free Luminosity, matter, and mind: Seer, seen, and seeing.
One in Three and Three in One emerge from only this:
The Knower, the known, and knowing: Being, consciousness, bliss.
Yes. Beautiful.
Thanks. I came to the same conclusion by logic having the definition of god as almighty and all knowing. This concept is controversially disputed in Judaism.
Beautiful Thankyou
Thank You!!!
Wonderful explanation ! as always !
Beautifuly answered❤
the importance of humility and silence
Thank You💚
For the space to be aware of itself it would need a physical form to house that awareness. Something must first exist to be aware. Space is not matter it is the lack of it.
God does not need our own mind we need to know his mind because we don't love God is God who love as always all his creation is about love 💙
Muchísimas gracias!!!!
Mind is an activity of consciousness is not in our everyday experience. It can’t even be understood intellectually. We feel that thoughts appear in consciousness. But where do they come from? From consciousness is the answer. But how do we experience it as a felt reality? Awareness takes the form of thoughts seems magical. The intangible becomes the tangible. The formless becomes form. The invisible becomes visible.
Wonderful
thank you very much for this precious teatching ! you are truly right; continue in sufi knowledge . i am your deciple.
my name is mehdi
beautifully said
I’ve only heard that it needs the mind to experience itself so this is a little tough to digest 😮💨
Beautiful...
I get the idea/concept/truth that God Needs Our Mind to Know the World. Makes perfect sense. Definitely. However (yes the ‘however’ was coming)…if God Needs to KNOW what’s up, then why? Why does God “need” to know the horrors, sufferings, etc of this or that? If the nature of realization is bliss, what happens to all of the horrors?
wow awesome, I love the jane metaphor, truly powerful
Aniis Nin-- we see the world not as it is, but as we are.
My name really is Jane and I actually live in London 🙏🏽
Excellent explanation! It is true as far as it goes.
But the word "God" in English means a number of different things, which the Hindus have individual words for.
What Rupert is calling "God" is "Brahman" in Sanskrit - the Absolute non-dual reality.
Once one goes into the World via the finite mind, then there is also a "God" who is the administrator of the world, called "Iswara". When asked about Iswara, Ramana Maharshi said:
"Q: Is there a separate being Iswara [personal God] ?
Ramana Maharshi: Yes.
Q: What is he like?
Ramana Maharshi: Iswara has individuality in mind and body, which are perishable, but at the same time he has also the transcendental consciousness and liberation inwardly.
Iswara, the personal God, the supreme creator of the universe really does exist. But this is true only from the relative standpoint of those who have not realized the truth, those people who believe in the reality of individual souls. From the absolute standpoint the sage cannot accept any other existence than the impersonal Self [Atman or Brahman], one and formless.
Iswara has a physical body, a form and a name, but it is not so gross as this material body. It can be seen in visions in the form created by the devotee. The forms and names of God are many and various and differ with each religion. His essence is the same as ours, the real Self being only one and without form. Hence forms he assumes are only creations or appearances.
Iswara is immanent in every person and every object throughout the universe. The totality of all things and beings constitutes God. There is a power out of which a small fraction has become all this universe, and the remainder is in reserve. Both this reserve power plus the manifested power as material world together constitute Iswara."
The last two sentences sound like the description of Panentheism.

Those 3 letters are the most confusing time waisting 3 letters. I just say trust your life and stop thinking about it , thank you 😘
Thank you very much for this so simple explanation of God, the indivisible infinite pure consciousness.
Hautep!!...Rupert...
