"If one person heals the trauma in their family, that has an effect, at least to an extent, on the rest of the family" I think I've been waiting to hear this for many years
Yes! There can be family trauma which past from one generation to other and waiting on a particle (some person) who will resolve it like on level of quantum particles, we are same particles for imagine
This is so true, and neither any sort of weird belief nor bulls*it. I first heard it from the lips of an utterly qualified, scientific, conventional, top psychiatrist many years ago, and my life is living proof.
Freud and Jung became non-duality students 😊 A course in miracles says: when I am healed, I am not healed alone 💞 I love it when teachings come together and become one knowing field 🌈 🙏
Yes! As a psychotherapist and having experienced depth psychotherapy, I've come to see it as profound healing and spiritual practice. I too am amazed and grateful for the convergence! 💫
This was amazing way to explain Consciousness in relation to our finite mind. It's simply amazing to me that he is able to find words to explain something that's completely unexplainable using the words. Thank you Rupert...... you are an amazing teacher😊❤👍
It was in my awakening phase i saw through to the truth & could discern between true and false , thats how i woke up to spinning ball deception. I was remote viewing on a mattress in my living room & that's when i saw the earth from above it was flat and motionless. We've been duped by nasa and the elites for decades to keep us asleep.
My understanding is we are infinite awareness experiencing separation through this dream/illusion/experience which includes these different circles/levels of the mind which can be experienced between lives as a ‘soul’ and/or collectively (a collective mind being the outer circle) within the ‘dream’ before we return/emerge back into infinite awareness. I personally understood this in his talk..
My apologies, apon reading your question again, my understanding to that would be that even though there is no ‘me’ we are still experiencing a perceived separate self with a mind. So while there is no me, in the illusion there is still that experience, of separate minds that is part of one consciousness and one consciousness is still playing out separate minds within a collective mind where all memories, traumas etc exist.
Wow. The clarity in the way he formulates this is remarkable. I'd often come across Rupert's name, but I'd never taken the time to read, or watch, any of his work. I'm glad I finally did.
I’ve just found this video on RUclips and it’s utterly amazing, Rupert is so concise, so clear and informative. For me, in my experience of listening to him he’s changing my life, it’s a continual process, I listen to him and I understand another piece of the human puzzle, I leave it for a while and carry on living my little separate existence and then I come across something like this and I’m gently forced to take another step, gently guided to more understanding, which I’m often afraid to do……thank you doesn’t seem adequate!
Don't forget to mention Peter Levine's books. He has developed a method called "somatic experiencing" as a skillful means to work with trauma, Bessel van de Kolk refers a lot in his book about Peter's work.
It is of no surprise to me that this question came from an Irishwoman. The history of that island, and its diaspora, could make a stone weep and the attendant inherited traumas are hell on earth to deal with. I wish dearly he expanded upon the "warm waters of awareness" and how to "bathe the scars" of trauma away.
It's strange - but his explanation gave me some relief. For years now I've been struggling with "I did something horribly wrong on this spiritual path" - exactly bc after initial unbelievable bliss came a nearly endless amount of trauma - stuff that definitely did not refer to my current life and I really couldn't put this in a coherent frame that made any sense.
You explain in 20 minutes what I have experienced in 25 years! Thank you very much. It is all understandable to me NOW. Now that my inner circle is not so much caught by the trauma any more.

Having grown up in abusive household which has left so many unknown scars/traces in my body/mind; I find your profound and loving guidance to be so grounding, empowering, uplifting and inspiring. For this you have my deepest gratitude Rupert! Thank you.
His ability to communicate these teachings to a modern human conditioning is phenomenal. Added to this, he tells us not to believe him, but to look for ourselves. Wow! How can we be so deluded? Yet, I continue to miserably play in the mud. Another wow!
We already know the truth. We just don't want to accept it because it hurts. If you will face your demons you will stop the generational curse, but that means you have to become the Saviour, the sacrifice, and most people won't choose that option willingly. They'd rather die with their ego intact and their family in shambles than their ego destroyed and their family saved.
This so true for my family. They prefer the devil they know (the hurt anger pain misery depression anxiety) then the devil they don’t know ( face their demons, die with their egos intact etc. I get it. It’s scary to go down this road, but even that is an illusion)
Trauma is like a trace in Consciousness; it's like the stick drawing in the sand [...], the etchings in the sand that are not readily washed away by the tide... The drawings are etched deeply into the sand and the waves have to pass over them many times before the etching disappears. - Rupert Spira He said it so beautifully that my body-mind traumas diminished considerably in a matter of seconds! This is Rupert's magic! I am feeling blessed! I am.
Rupert’s clear view and heartfull words opens a new perception on healing traumas buried inside my body💛🔥💛 Thank you for the ‘Radiating Compassion’ you share with us🙏
Brilliant. For myself who’s experienced so much suffering but not from my own life experience and is into non-duality this explanation is great. After more than a decade of clearing “past/other lives” to no end, I found non-duality and this integrates my experiences perfectly. 😌🙏🏼♥️ thank you. Being a sensitive/psychic maybe I’m just wired to pick up on the collective minds suffering to help heal it. Non-duality helps ♥️♥️♥️
"Release all of this and be at peace. Let go of everything. Wash yourself clean in the Truth of Who You are. Watch everything pass away. Dissolve. Fall into the arms of God. Allow yourself to be transformed. Allow yourself to be born anew." Robert Adams
I can see how intellect and full command of it can be really instrumental in sorting things out. Many people myself included can't cut through the thick fog of their experience.
But in the end, we are left with the same. No amount of explanation will free us from identification. We are left with conscious allowing and self-inquiry. As a teacher that I met a number of years ago used to say : "Stay in the I don't know." And what I need to know will be revealed. Stillness is the way, relax and release while remaining free of expectation: layer after layer after layer ....
This is really good. I have indeed had the unmistakable experience of past trauma materializing during meditation. There are several things in this teaching that I have experienced to be true.
Not to get too esoteric as there are several subtle bodies (etheric, astral, causal, etc) that can be impacted by trauma. These go deep sometimes even for awakened beings. There is also a Sanskrit term called Lesha Vidya as the remains of ignorance. It addresses the trace of trauma. Peace to all. G
From Tripura Rahasya. Lord Dattatreya says.. "The vasanas not inimical to realization are not weeded out by the best class of jnani, because they cannot seek new ones to crowd the old ones out. Therefore, the old ones continue until they are exhausted and thus you find among them some highly irritable, some lustful and others pious and dutiful"
When people cant feel and they are disconnected from true self, well thats trauma right there, but they are not aware of it cos they livin it like its normal, and they think its part of their personality 🙋🏼♀️, so hard to peel the ego leyers it fuckin hurts but you need to go to the source. sending love to everybody outhere who works on their inner shit 🌈🙌🏼 yesssss
There is practical pathway to move from the physical being to the essence being using the Soul as a tool. In personal transformation, there are actual steps you can take to move from a limited mind by identifying your archetypes as a way of getting closer to your soul nature. Start with character strength, move to archetypes and in time you'll know how we move from one level of reality to another withn our one being state. It's called the Three Levels of Reality and the pathway is one of empowerment. This approach is more pragmatic and less mind driven while keeping the ind engaged in self-introspection. The mind is designed to contemplate and giving it helpful tools to do this with can narrow your self-introspection and make it creative at the same time.
If the thing is positive, there is no resistance. No trauma but pleasure. If it is neutral, there is no resistance. If negative, there is resistence. This resistence causes trace with "negative" charge. This is trauma. So trauma is a trace caused by resistance.
I feel there is an unlimited love and peace right now and right here..and my eyes are in tears now while I am writing this comment..but this little"me" is just wants to keep control things and I know no matter what this me looks to be so strong and taking over the mind it is still nothing for the beingness..just wanted to express this
It sounds like he's speaking of the Subconscious Mind. Because of my complex trauma, I have come to learn that it is from this area our lives are controlled. There is a saying from the University of Virginia's free online "Course In Consciousness": "You are not living; you are being lived". That does not mean we are puppets on a string with no thought or say in the matter. It's like a knee-jerk reaction where sometimes you plan to react or speak in a certain manner, and something else happens that you had no intention of doing or saying. That is when the subconscious is doing the living. It's there for 'protection' against further trauma, even though it can sometimes seem to make things even worse. Our subconscious can react even just due to our programming and conditioning, or our set of perceived beliefs. I think it can be at war with what could be a peaceful life if Consciousness really could do the living.
More importantly is to stop creating 'trauma' in ourselves and those around us because unchecked trauma in one can create more trauma when one blames it on karma.
basically it is an automatic contraction of the nervioussystem. the only way to get through it, is when the idividual becomes aware of the contraction - which is always in hintsight - and responds with a deep okness towards the contractions. as long as there is a reaction of 'I dont want it', the trauma remains. anyway, the mind has to understand first, because the automatic reaction of the mind in our culture, collective awareness, is and has been: "NO" (contraction of the nervoussystem). becoming aware of the 'NO" and relating the 'NO' to the truth teaches the nervoussystem to stay open no matter what. and of course, the individual will no longer 'teach' reactions to their children regarding long hold 'meanings' (=DNA, is the manifastation of related beliefs).
I wonder about the metaphor of a whirlpool for the mind. We can say 'look there's a whirlpool' and we can see it has a centre but when we look for its edges we see it has none. It is also crucially, a circular feedback system.
Good explanation. Also, the dysfunctions that limit the mind that are caused by traumas also tend to hide themselves in various ways. What is important is eliminating these dysfunctions, not just ignoring or accepting them. Unfortunately, neither psychiatry nor psychology has any techniques that do this, so other solutions must be sought.
For me . Where trauma resides, or is, . Is irrelevant, when I experience it, I know it created by my thought, brought through time as a memory . Instead of analyzing this, working to calm it. Etc. I see it for what it is, an illusion, that feels real, but is not. I let it go.
Such a shame it's so complicated : we are creatures of confusion and swirling contrary energy systems and buried human conditioning. I wonder how many of rupert's students achieve a greater level of happiness ? And if not, what is the point
The perforated circles he explains about are buffers. There are tides that come in and out. Expansion of awareness. Levels of incoming and outgoing thoughts, etc. Everything has a tide. Everything is connected at the biggest level to the smallest. Nothing is working by itself. Yet some levels are less consciously aware of farther out boundaries. Everything operates on a need to know basis. I and you have a common nutrient. That is everywhere. It's not necessary for us to know the why, we just need to be aware.
@@Bonpu You're right. The most powerful parts of the trauma we typically repress. Sometimes we can consciously remember events, but the painful feelings are repressed. Sometimes we don't even have an intellectual recollection of what we been through. Regardless of the level of our repression, the symtoms of the trauma and all the repressed pain tend to haunt us. We are always on the run, living in exile as it were. Meditation and psychotherapy are great means if we need to gradually release the repressed pain, heal and thus liberate ourselves. But sure, it is especially hard if you don't even understand that you have suffered severely. Childhood trauma are oftentimes of that sort. We think we had a normal childhood but our hearts are bleeding. I guess I am trying to say that the symtoms--the anxiety, the despair, the depressions, the addictions etc--are really what should guide us in trauma work to begin with. Eventually we dig down to the root trauma, but when the work starts it is a good rule of thumb to presume that most of it is repressed. Thus lack of memory as to the cause of the trauma need not and should not hinder anyone from healing, presuming they suffer from the usual symtoms that is. Thanks!
@@jonashjerpe7421 well written. Do you know any author who wrote how to deal with repressed emotions? I've read Tolle and Freud and listening to this awesome guy so far
@@VTun1ng Thanks! In terms of very introductory psychological work I think Alice Miller's The Drama of the Gifted Child is still very good. Nowadays I think that anyone who goes deep into themselves, spiritually and/or psychologically, become aware of the splits, the tensions and the struggle that are the tell tale signs of repressed emotions. But anything within the psychoanalytical tradition should deal with the issue. Within spirituality you will find a lot about it under the notion of resistance. Good luck!
Jeff L He said bathing in the warm water of Awareness, like a stick-drawing in the sand being slowly, systematically washed away over many repetitions of the tide washing over it. I suppose the mechanism by which this works is that eventually the trauma is supposed to be let go of because the sub-conscious mind will eventually realize it wasn't real? However, I thought there was no way to access the sub-conscious mind because there is no one there who is listening. These traumas carry over from lifetime to lifetime if they are unhealed, so how can they be effectively dealt with? Maybe it's a system (subconscious mind) that can be turned off or no longer noticed?
I think it's more to do with awareness transmuting the trauma and allowing the body unit to find balance and integration. Once you start exploring sensations in a mindful and nonjudgemtenal way, the healing can be quite profound. This is similar to what Peter Levine outlines in his Somatic Experiencing system (which is a good place to start if you want to heal from trauma).
I would encourage you to perhaps put aside the word “heal”, just as an experiment. That’s what I’ve worked on throughout my traumatized life. Healed/not healed is such a polarizing prison, you know? He’s telling you that you can start bathing... so just start taking baths, practice taking baths and in those moments let that be enough... breathe and trust and let go and all of that. What do we have to lose if we’re suffering through trauma? At some moment ALL have to step away from the questioning mind and free fall...
@@eldonscott9 can in a similar way one get free from the chronic guilt of creating unhappiness for some one else long ago in life (knowingly and unknowingly)
@@eldonscott9 I like the idea of putting aside the word/concept of 'heal'...thank you! It's like a final destination that implies a failure until you reach that magical finish line..and where IS that finish line? I know I'm better and more resilient than I was a year ago but am not 'healed' and therefore not 'there' yet and therefore incomplete and lacking somehow 😕
15:38 ..I don't think that we first enter the dream state..First, we probably experience long wave sleep which is repairing the tissue and then around very early morning we experience REM state or dream state which can be around 1.5 hours...if we wake up close after REM state then we remember dreams very vividly...
Is he talking about Samskaras? I think I experienced this during Vipassana. I havent had this info and somehow I had a lot visions/memories as being an Asian in the war. Very vivid and weird.
You have a very scientific approach to this. Are there other approaches too which are similarly valid ? Like Rumi for example ? Why do humans want to be scientists anyway ?
People r in different chakras and each chakra has a different perspective, intelligence, values, etcetera. Science is associated with the 5th, Rumi the 4th, gurus the 3rd 🙏

Blaming never works. We must take responsibility for our experience and blame is the rejection of responsibility.
Amazing explanation!!
Thank you!
basically it is an automatic contraction of the nervioussystem. the only way to get through it, is when the idividual becomes aware of the contraction - which is always in hintsight - and responds with a deep okness towards the contractions. as long as there is a reaction of 'I dont want it', the trauma remains. anyway, the mind has to understand first, because the automatic reaction of the mind in our culture, collective awareness, is and has been: "NO" (contraction of the nervoussystem). becoming aware of the 'NO" and relating the 'NO' to the truth teaches the nervoussystem to stay open no matter what. and of course, the individual will no longer 'teach' reactions to their children regarding long hold 'meanings' (=DNA, is the manifastation of related beliefs).
Thank you
I wonder about the metaphor of a whirlpool for the mind. We can say 'look there's a whirlpool' and we can see it has a centre but when we look for its edges we see it has none. It is also crucially, a circular feedback system.
_great stuff Mr Spira .. would you mind if i audio sample your channel again plz ? .. i always credit my sources_
Thomas Hübl is the expert in this topic. Rupert also describes Thomas’ work pretty well and fairly clearly
All minds appear in consciousness. 🙏
So true even science proved it. Hopefully science will keep catching up.
Good explanation. Also, the dysfunctions that limit the mind that are caused by traumas also tend to hide themselves in various ways. What is important is eliminating these dysfunctions, not just ignoring or accepting them. Unfortunately, neither psychiatry nor psychology has any techniques that do this, so other solutions must be sought.
I'm thinking that these traces or trauma are what is called samskaras or vasanas in advaitic teachings.
Claude LeBel I have been wondering about the same...
For me .
Where trauma resides, or is, .
Is irrelevant, when I experience it, I know it created by my thought, brought through time as a memory .
Instead of analyzing this, working to calm it. Etc.
I see it for what it is, an illusion, that feels real, but is not.
I let it go.
Such a shame it's so complicated : we are creatures of confusion and swirling contrary energy systems and buried human conditioning. I wonder how many of rupert's students achieve a greater level of happiness ? And if not, what is the point
I have not experienced myself as a different person in my dreams. I am me
Rupert should be knighted by the Queen and given the Nobel Prize soon thereafter.
I love you!
The perforated circles he explains about are buffers. There are tides that come in and out. Expansion of awareness. Levels of incoming and outgoing thoughts, etc. Everything has a tide. Everything is connected at the biggest level to the smallest. Nothing is working by itself. Yet some levels are less consciously aware of farther out boundaries. Everything operates on a need to know basis. I and you have a common nutrient. That is everywhere. It's not necessary for us to know the why, we just need to be aware.
Traumatic memories can destroy your life, Talk them right out of your head with someone.
If you are lucky enough to have any memory that is.
@@Bonpu You're right. The most powerful parts of the trauma we typically repress. Sometimes we can consciously remember events, but the painful feelings are repressed. Sometimes we don't even have an intellectual recollection of what we been through. Regardless of the level of our repression, the symtoms of the trauma and all the repressed pain tend to haunt us. We are always on the run, living in exile as it were.
Meditation and psychotherapy are great means if we need to gradually release the repressed pain, heal and thus liberate ourselves. But sure, it is especially hard if you don't even understand that you have suffered severely. Childhood trauma are oftentimes of that sort. We think we had a normal childhood but our hearts are bleeding.
I guess I am trying to say that the symtoms--the anxiety, the despair, the depressions, the addictions etc--are really what should guide us in trauma work to begin with. Eventually we dig down to the root trauma, but when the work starts it is a good rule of thumb to presume that most of it is repressed. Thus lack of memory as to the cause of the trauma need not and should not hinder anyone from healing, presuming they suffer from the usual symtoms that is.
Thanks!
@@jonashjerpe7421 well written. Do you know any author who wrote how to deal with repressed emotions?
I've read Tolle and Freud and listening to this awesome guy so far
@@VTun1ng Thanks! In terms of very introductory psychological work I think Alice Miller's The Drama of the Gifted Child is still very good. Nowadays I think that anyone who goes deep into themselves, spiritually and/or psychologically, become aware of the splits, the tensions and the struggle that are the tell tale signs of repressed emotions. But anything within the psychoanalytical tradition should deal with the issue. Within spirituality you will find a lot about it under the notion of resistance. Good luck!
@@jonashjerpe7421 thank you very much for your time Sir!

So I can heal my trauma through bathing it in the light of awareness is what he's saying?
Jeff L He said bathing in the warm water of Awareness, like a stick-drawing in the sand being slowly, systematically washed away over many repetitions of the tide washing over it. I suppose the mechanism by which this works is that eventually the trauma is supposed to be let go of because the sub-conscious mind will eventually realize it wasn't real? However, I thought there was no way to access the sub-conscious mind because there is no one there who is listening. These traumas carry over from lifetime to lifetime if they are unhealed, so how can they be effectively dealt with? Maybe it's a system (subconscious mind) that can be turned off or no longer noticed?
I think it's more to do with awareness transmuting the trauma and allowing the body unit to find balance and integration. Once you start exploring sensations in a mindful and nonjudgemtenal way, the healing can be quite profound. This is similar to what Peter Levine outlines in his Somatic Experiencing system (which is a good place to start if you want to heal from trauma).
I would encourage you to perhaps put aside the word “heal”, just as an experiment. That’s what I’ve worked on throughout my traumatized life. Healed/not healed is such a polarizing prison, you know? He’s telling you that you can start bathing... so just start taking baths, practice taking baths and in those moments let that be enough... breathe and trust and let go and all of that. What do we have to lose if we’re suffering through trauma? At some moment ALL have to step away from the questioning mind and free fall...
@@eldonscott9 can in a similar way one get free from the chronic guilt of creating unhappiness for some one else long ago in life (knowingly and unknowingly)
@@eldonscott9 I like the idea of putting aside the word/concept of 'heal'...thank you! It's like a final destination that implies a failure until you reach that magical finish line..and where IS that finish line? I know I'm better and more resilient than I was a year ago but am not 'healed' and therefore not 'there' yet and therefore incomplete and lacking somehow 😕
15:38 ..I don't think that we first enter the dream state..First, we probably experience long wave sleep which is repairing the tissue and then around very early morning we experience REM state or dream state which can be around 1.5 hours...if we wake up close after REM state then we remember dreams very vividly...
Is he talking about Samskaras? I think I experienced this during Vipassana. I havent had this info and somehow I had a lot visions/memories as being an Asian in the war. Very vivid and weird.
Always interesting but the 'coughers' should try to clear their throats in the interval it's incredibly aggravating!
Eat the food.
Don’t get stuck reading the menu.
5.05 is this reference to washing the brain to cleanse trauma?
I don't know what the average Like/Dislike ratio is but this is pretty good at this point 277/2. But still I can't imagine who could dislike this!
You have a very scientific approach to this. Are there other approaches too which are similarly valid ? Like Rumi for example ? Why do humans want to be scientists anyway ?
People r in different chakras and each chakra has a different perspective, intelligence, values, etcetera. Science is associated with the 5th, Rumi the 4th, gurus the 3rd 🙏
Where have you been all my life?
🙏🏼
Btw, what kind of "flowers" are those? I want them in my waking state, in my abode.
they look like orchids to me
