Meditation: Exploring Two Essential Questions
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 май 2020
- Non-duality addresses two essential questions, 'How may we find lasting peace and happiness?' and 'What is the nature of reality?'. We find that the answers to both questions are the same: self-knowledge. In this contemplation, we uncover the nature of this naked, uncoloured self to find both the means of lasting peace, of happiness, and an understanding of the nature of reality.

Rupert is a scientist of spirituality. Nobody explains like rupert. Endless gratitude 👃👃👃👃👃
I agree totally.... he is best in explanation ... thanks universe for such a wonderful manifestation
Raju, I can do this too! Actually it is a gift. My life is about teaching these concepts with metaphors and visuals from nature. I'm so excited about sharing these teachings. You can do it too. Someone will come to you and want to listen. You will see. You are the best teacher to the people sent to you. Believe in your understanding of these truths. They are yours as much as anyone's.
Thanks for the many nose. Fishes not fish, like Trelly said. Bless
totally agree 👍
listening to rupert is instant calmness pure ease and release of all illusion 🙏
🙏🧡...ever fresh wisdom...i listened after years but the truth is ever-present...everfresh!
Love love love

Teşekkür ediyorum
Let me tell you, by chance I heard Rupert's speech about about the time he looked at the moon and realized that his awareness of the moon wasn't taking place a million miles away, but that it was taking place inside his body. This triggered something profound within me. About an hour after hearing that, I was in the middle of reading a book, and MAN, I experienced a level of concentration that I didn't think was possible. I sat and read for 7 hours straight without taking a break, and without so much as being distracted by a thought. WTF! Usually I can't last more than a minute without at least being distracted by something, but nothing could get through to me, not my thoughts, and not the dog barking outside(which would usually annoy the hell out of me). I just didn't care. This here is a super power.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Love this💙
Wow this is magic!
I enlightened prior the near end of this clip.
Yes, I am back to my naked self, shining as the sun without cloud, the screen without light or color.
Bow you from distance, Mr Rupert Spira, you are God/Buddha to me. I have happened to know you only few weeks. I need no more searching for my burning question about SELF and ENLIGHTMENT.
Enlightenment..💛💥💛💫💥💫💥
Awareness of the "Light" of the Self
Happiness is our nature makes sense, think of small children who always seem to be happy, they haven't yet been broken down by society around them.
“The universe is the activity of this infinite consciousness.” This makes so much sense. And why would there be billions and billions of separate consciousness’s? One consciousness manifesting all of this and all of us, again, makes so much more sense.
Love you all❤️
What a beautiful, beautiful person Rupert is .. 💕🙏💙 And such intelligence, brilliance and clarity.
Truly an incredible teacher.... He shows the way with such clarity, sincerity and love of what he is talking about. Rupid has guided me to the answers of a lifelong search. I am ever, ever grateful.
Where is consciousness when all atoms have decayed and the universe is an infinite void with photons zipping around it?? A photon will see the universe as one singular point as it traverses the universe at the speed of light, how boring!!!!!
@@darren.davies3957 Space and matter cannot exist independently of each other.
Yamada Fakename that's a new one on me!!!!!
Yamada Fakename space/time are a fabric of one, I do not think matter matters !!!!!!
The greatest teacher ever! And when the world wakes up, will be revered as such.
SIR 🙏 YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS OPENED ALL THE DOORS TO THAT REALISATION. "I AM" 🌹
Is it possible to realize through videos
Grateful ❤🙏
I am so fortunate to be able to hear someone so highly transparent, clearly understood by my mind,How wonderful and comforting is to know the truth, and the beauty of it is available in person rather than reading in a book, which is not as direct and aLive, spiritual knowledge made simple as it flows through his being, I love it I appreciate it because it is making a great impact on my life, and I would be missing it if it wasn’t there ,thank you very much for posting this , physical and spiritual well-being to all.🙏
When everything that can be removed from us, is removed from us, what remains is the essence... the most exstatic experience of no-thingness .....and it is so amazingly simple and powerful to recognize that our naked being is the God Being, which is nothing but LOVE.....Melting and sweet❤️❤️❤️🌍
Reading this gives me chills because I resonate with this so much.. lately when I meditate, I get to this mental/physical state where my whole body feels as tho it's vibrating, and being catapulted into another dimension, all thoughts were gone. I felt absolute bliss, that no other substance or experience has ever offered. I felt as tho the only way to describe this feeling, was that I felt as tho I was love itself.
Words can only point to "Who am I?" And how clearly and beautifully Spira's words streamfliow from the herenow.
Another Master PIECE teaching!!! OMG Thank you UNIVERSE, Tk you Rupert! Forever GRATEFUL!!
This lecture is a true masterpiece ! 🙏
Thanks so much Rupert. 🌀
Thank you,Rupert!
After hearing this beautiful meditation N-times, now it dawn's me: the I is the light of celebration of unlimited-self. When we as conditioned mind tend to limit ourselves 😄
Thank you Rupert for always being in touch with yourself 🙏 Loads of Love💕💕💕
A course in miracles: enlightenment is but a recognition, not a change at all.
I came to that on my own too
The best freedom your ears will ever hear and your heart will ever know!!
By far the best channel and content I've ever found on youtube.
Excellent as always!
Another Rupert Masterpiece...comes from such a deep well of knowing. Much gratitude !
It was as if I dissolved into a curtain of blackness, it surrounded me, but it was me, and I was it. I was the blanket of expansive space and it was bliss- Pure joy. I saw myself live a thousand lifetimes and then attention crashed back into this space of a body and I became aware of my surroundings, and everyone and everything was me. I could see this expansive awareness hiding everywhere, in everyone, and in everything. Like a game of hide and seek, everything became fun and joyous- it’s all so funny- hiding from ourselves in different roles and egos and visions. All the associations me make hide our true nature. We tie appearances in awareness to a sense of self and separate, and then live away from this
expansive connected self. The one self.
It's really good to see your very authentic experience. Inspired me to keep looking because I get tired a lot in this search. Is it possible to realize through these videos? I m so grounded in practising spirituality to increase the level of awareness, I keep beating myself for not being regular.
God bless you Rupert
Rupertji, I love you and your teachings of Advaita.
Thank you Rupert for releasing this videos full of wisdom and bliss and hope for those who are still in the process of seeking If I understand “I am” is that which remain after we have removed all that can be removed The knowing of our own existence is our naked irreducible being This knowledge mark the end of the idea that webhave to do something to improve our self Because Our Self can’t be improved It is already infinite perfect full of love. Compassion and hence happiness
The other morning, I had a profound experience while meditating. Physically, I a sensation of peace that was so strong, words couldn't accurately describe it. There was a physical sensation.. my body felt as tho it was vibrating or sort of dissolving.. I felt as tho I wasn't just my body, but the space surrounding it aswell. I felt as if I was thrown into another dimension..weightless. an overwhelming sense of peace and euphoria.. It was such an intense feeling, that I couldn't even remember what room I was in, nor could I hear the music I had playing in my headphones.. I was just in pure awe of this experience.. I felt as tho I was love itself.. as in, the sense of love didn't feel as though it was flowing towards me, but rather, I felt as tho I was the source. I was pure love itself. This entire experience happened in the matter of a couple minutes.. after hearing Rupert say we are happiness itself, I got chills for how similar I thought of my experience
That was the experience of falling into pure recognition or grace. It was the decontraction of your person into consciousness. Like Rupert says the experience of this will be equivalent to the grade of the minds constricted state. In some people it happens gradually and softly in some people it happens suddenly and intensely. I went through the same as you in 2019 whilst reading scriptures- Once we know and experience the truth the work begins to remind the mind of its inherent essence…. ❤️❤️
Thank you.
This “talk “ makes who we are very clear and I am grateful ❤️
Superb!
Sublime knowing-thank you rupert
Very nice to hear you again and your choice of subject is excellent as usual. Many thanks for sharing!
The clarity and purity of simple truth
The most erudite and articulate I have heard on the subject....so simple and beautifully constructed 😊
The self is oneness.
It's everything.
Thank you, Rupert💕
Amazing. Buckland hall Dec 2019. 🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️

I never create my dream world it just happens and I have no choice but go through it unwillingly
Should we act to align and center ourselves or should we act when we are centered and aligned?

Whereas birth is a constriction, or, "coagulation" of consciousness into a dual time/space construct, "death" is a reexpansion of consciousness into a unified presence. "Death," thereby, becomes a consummation of birth, and the experiential process accrued therein. So "death," then, produces a new affinity which will be expressed in succeeding incarnations. An evolution in consciousness, MUST precede, and thus inform, all material evolution.

Hello master seems to me that there are cycles time to eat time to sleep etc. Should we follow them or don t care and go beyond. Seems to be prisoner of the cycles.
Thank u
The answers to the two questions are the same: if our essential nature is happness, then the nature of reality must be happiness. 1=1
And if consciousness divides itself by itself, it is still 1: 1/1=1
Rupert is great teacher. I respectfully disagree with his statement that the universe is an activity of Consciousness/Reality. Consciousness is the changeless substratum of the changing world. An activity would imply change and thus cannot be. Just like , heat is not the activity of the sun, it is the very nature of it. The universe is an appearance in consciousness due to its inherent shakti (power) known as maya.
I get a sense that we are creators of our own problems and for that reason, we can do something about it. The universe seems to be a creation too, in the sense of consciousness projecting itself in a physical manner. Lots of that creation is none of our doing and basically sucks. Problems like the ignorance of humanity over millennia, the savagery of nature, disease - all the things that lead Hobbs to describe life as 'solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short'. I'm tempted to ask consciousness the same question that I was asking of God many years ago. "What on earth are you playing at?"
You have to realize that it's all your creation, it is your dream you created. Don't look for a way out or struggle or like one part of the dream and not another. Perceive correctly to see the dream as a dream is all that needs to be done. Questioning why things are "good" or "bad" keeps the illusion alive. That is mind and this goes so far beyond rationality. Remain as the "I Am" prior to any definitions is all that needs to be done.
I must admit I suspect any answer to a question that says’ don’t question and everything will be fine’. It’s very similar to traditional religious thinking. The dream has a nature. We all perceive it. I’m saying that I can’t understand why the dream would have this nature instead of a better one. If consciousness provides the dream, it needs to be questioned why. Some people say it’s the universe’s way of getting to know itself. If true, I hope it’s appalled by what it sees.
@@brendantannam499 I totally get you, but paradoxically, you won't get the answers to your question unless you follow the process as laid out by Rupert, Nisargadatta and Ramana Maharshi.
I don't know how to build a hospital so I'll follow the instructions of the architect and the contractor.
You have to give up all all desire for knowing to gain the knowledge. This is enlightenment rather than philosophical meanderings. Nobody in the world cares about this stuff because they are in their minds and haven't had a taste of the experience. The mind separates, judges, compartmentalizes and obscures reality. It's only oriented for survival of the biological suit and procreation.
The process is the opposite of traditional religious dogma because all that perceived religious "knowledge" has to be given up. It will take sometime further away. Staying in consciousness prior to any thoughts, knowledge or concepts is the straightest line to realizing the correct perception. The mind will always want a linear explanation.
I must say you sound just like my friend. In a way that brings me comfort.
Also I've been coming to understand this and meditating for years now. I am aware from my meditation practice that we are all one and who we truly are is the universe. I STILL don't understand how that makes everything horrible okay. I feel like a rag doll being tossed between how I feel during my meditation and how I feel when I look at the suffering in the world. Which the suffering of the world is really MY suffering. IS it all worth it just to play these characters?
I agree mostly what Rupert is suggesting. But Concerning the first question: why are we not always happy? What about karma? What if you were a murderer in a previous incarnation , don’t you have to suffer in this life before you can be happy?
Just asking that question. Does anyone have an answer?
All love in isolation from Miami Beach ,

He has a lecture on the idea of karma. He compares the idea of karma to a fairy tale in that all the elements of karma(e.g. separate self past lives) like fairy tales are not true but there is a deeper underlying message/ teaching of the fairy tale that is , true. You can find part of that discourse on RUclips.
the play of karma is for the one who continues to believe it is a separate self located in a body...
Yes listen to Swami Sarvapryanada, look for talks on karma. Your answer is in his lectures.
I wonder how the mind…..
...that is considered an illusion by consciousness can hardly be trusted as the source of knowing its own reality….i.e. consciousness?
Hey guys, I thought I share my notes on this brilliant talk (thanks Rupert!). Please feel free to comment if you interpret Ruperts words differently.
◦ 04:30 : Non dual essence: „The non-dual teaching suggests that this single, infinite, indivisible consciousness who’s activity the universe is, localizes itself in each of our minds, from who’s perspective it knows itself as the apparently outside world.“
◦ 11:30 : Mixing of perceptions and self: „Most people sense/knowledge of their self is so mixed up with the content of their experience that they do not know their self clearly.“
◦ 12:00: Non-Dual practice: „What am I prior to experience?“ (Thoughts, feelings, memories, sensations, perceptions, activities, relationships)
◦ 17:45 : On enlightenment: „Nothing could be less extraordinary or less exotic then the recognition of the simple nature of our own being.”
◦ 18:20: Acceptance of perceptions rather than wrong effort / aversion: “Our thoughts, feelings, sensations and perceptions do not need to be changed or manipulated or got rid off - anymore than it is necessary to take off ones clothes to be in touch with ones naked body.”
◦ 20:30 Our self has acquired the limitations of our objects of experience.
◦ 23:00 Partial self knowledge: “Our selves knowledge of itself has become mixed up with it’s knowledge of thoughts, feelings, sensations and perceptions that it no longer sees itself clearly, it knows itself partially. Everybody has this partial knowledge of their self. That’s why everybody [...] has the sense of being myself.”
◦ 26:30 The direct path: “We don’t suddenly become a new kind of / awaked / enlightened self. [...] The self that we already are, is simply revealed, laid bare.”
◦ 30:30 Accepting perception as coloring: “Our self is not really buried behind or underneath experience. It is shining brightly in the midst of all experience, just as a screen is not concealed behind and image but shines in and ultimately as the image. The image is just a coloring of the screen. Likewise all experience is a coloring of our self. No experience obscures our self unless we give it permission to do so.”
