One ocean of consciousness, dancing with itself. Creating ripples within itself. The ripples complexity and form whirlpools. The ocean views itself through its whirlpools. What it sees when looking at itself, is determined by the sense perceiving faculties of the whirlpool through which it is looking through. When the ocean looks through a human whirlpool, it sees itself as a variety of separate objects. When the ocean localises itself as a whirlpool, it forgets that it’s the ocean. We gotta realise/remember that we’re all the ocean!
Thank you, Rupert, for sharing more of your insights. Absolutely true. it is definitely "different" (to say the least) to experience this, but it is unmistakable. Our apparent physicality has no more "existence" than so-called physical bodies and objects in dreams within the dream state. This is echoed by a quote from "The Tibetan Book of the Dead:" "Phenomena only 'exist' in the mind that perceives them." Namaste. 🙏🏻
As this is the foundation of your belief system, aside from blind faith, or mere acceptance of the trite statements of others, how do you know there is such a thing as "universal consciousness"? Likewise if you tell people "nothing is real" how does that benefit them when they have no personal realisation of this? Further I suggest that if you tell someone that nothing is real, and then out of faith they try to test this theory by jumping in front of a speeding train, it will not benefit them but quite to the opposite be very harmful.
ACIM "Nothing unreal exists. Nothing real can be threatened." Herein lies the peace of God. Teachers like Rupert say this statement from ACIM in different yet similar ways. Yesterday I was listening to Echart Tolle...his talk was the same, in ET ways. Same message with different words. 😊❤😊
⚠️ Believe , believe... I don't believe in anything. Either I know for a fact, or I don't know. Never underestimate the power of "I don't know". Doubt everything, don't believe anything. See the truth for yourself. 🎉🎉❤
What’s the point of consciousness wanting or having the experience of someone being hit by a bus. One of Gods thoughts! You would think god would have better thoughts, strange.
After studying Nisargadatta for many years, I am really warming up to Rupert. Same message, of course, just a different angle. So great to see non-dualism on the rise with more and more great living and accessible teachers like Eckhard Tolle, Adyashanti, Mooji and many more. It is the spiritual paradigm shift needed, away from corrupted organized religions and their vengeful Gods.
So deep, touched my heart❤️ ❤❤ I'm happy to have no fear to die now. It's good to put death at the right place, and not make such a fuss about it and feel enormous pity for yourself if you "lost" someone. Self-pity has nothing to do with love.
Just heard something so profoundly beautiful....in so many words silence/stillness meant,' to practice dying' or 'death preparation'. The sentiment is to not have a fear of death as it will inevitably be a 'peaceful' natural one as a result (someday for everyone). Death of a separate self never born.
I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it -Mark Twain
Too bad that does not work in real life, if he had that power he would just do whatever he wanted right here and now Just materializing boeing 747,s out of thin air or make everything out of lemonade but he has no power
@@pennywise5095 I am not aware that he ever claimed he, or anyone, has the power to change the script of this dream. As far as I understand it, it is simply realizing that all this has a dreamlike quality and that we are not what we think we are - a mind in a body. On this path, there is no desire to change a dream. The desire is to wake up from it and see it as it is.
Be cheerful, sir. Our revels now are ended. These our actors, As I foretold you, were all spirits, and Are melted into air, into thin air; And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces, The solemn temples, the great globe itself, Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff As dreams are made on, and our little life Is rounded with a sleep. - Shakespeare, The Tempest.
Mind only knows what you have experience if there is something that you didn't experience it doesn't mean it is not existent it is there but you don't know about it
IT IS ALL REAL. To consciousness EVERYTHING is real. That is the whole point of existence. Learn all that is learnable....to know thyself. Everything is brought into existence by way of being experienced. It takes two. Me and not me(you). To me, everything that is not me is you. I experience you into existence, so that you can experience me and bring me into existence. Something can only exist(be known) relative to something else existing. How does one become aware of the color of ones eyes? You make two. Your reflection accomplishes this, it creates two out of one, so now you can learn the color of your eyes. Until your reflection is created, the color of your eyes does not exist(unknown)
There is no you, nor me, doing anything. You do not create anything nor bring anything into existence, because who are you to do anything? There is only the consciousness that everything appears within. You are a thought that believes it is real, surrounded by thoughts it also believes are real.
@@deselmsgroup true, There is just one, but the reflection of the one, creates the illusion of two. You need the two in order for the one to observe(experience) itself. The source, the reflection of source and the observation creates awareness.
@@mikey6214 It's not a reflection of "the one" - none exist. As Rupert points out, everything being experienced as "reality" is simply a projection in the mind of God, as it were. Dream characters who believe they are real, surrounded by a dream they also believe is real. There is no doer, and nothing is happening.
This questioner's mind is the really sad victim of the anti-mystical culture we've been burdened with since the 18th century or so. He sees something mystical, mysterious, transcendent "in Rupert" (really in himself) but his conditioning pulls him back to make sassy 'oh c'mon let's be practical' attitude and everyone has a good lighthearted chuckle. The 'if the world isn't real why don't you get hit by a bus' trope epitomizes this so well. For asking such a serious question, you would do well to treat yourself with the respect you gave to your own inquiry. We're not being 'practical' when we act frivolously like this; in fact, the greatest physicists and mathematicians, who our Industrial Revolution society epitomizes as the most real/practical field, ALL had a humble, almost mystical sense of awe with what they were studying.
I think someone already mentioned this, but the human mind cannot truly grasp what is outside the mind. Ironically, it takes a leap of faith to move past the mind's own limitations. But be careful not to take so big a leap that you decide that nothing is worth pursuing, or that nothing matters.
A Udo billahi mina saytan rassim... I seek Refuge in God from the evil He has created, and I vow to the demons of a large punishment! The flames is their home! ------- God is the only thing worth pursuing, and the afterlife matters more than this worldly life. A leap of faith? I have put my very life on the line twice in this spiritual shit. Fuck everyone, spirituality is my girlfriend. It's my only girlfriend, cuz the worldly girlfriend got itself cheated on. I dont trust anyone on spirituality who can hook up a girl. Spirituality should do you so hard... You turn Insane.
Oooh, you still got an egoic fragment you refuse to let go of I see. A chunk of fear. As "nothing matters" is truth, and is not a bad thing lol. A dream's only purpose is mild amusment.
It's not difficult at all, it's a realisation that what happens could not happen any other way because everything happens. We are the universe experiencing itself.
No, we are Omnipresence denying itself.....!! Entertaining a belief in Duality(two powers)is the culprit, when there is Only Incorporeal, Infinite Consciousness(One Being)!
Yup. The events of a story in a book are playing out, wherever the character finds themselves on their journey is the current page of the book. They don't know what's on the next page, but the next page and the entire story was already written.
If Francis had not found Rupert, the part of himself that craves freedom would have found the catalyst in someone or something else. Or the appearance of someone or something else. 🙂
Wasn`t it something like that the monk was the future him? When Jung would past away the monk would wake up from the meditation, something like that. My friend told me about this.
Quite a trip to actually let in this articulation of this apparent reality. For several years now I’ve looked to reconcile ‘myself’ with the implications of what was recognised…..which this mind still hasn’t quite fully grocked.
I can feel you. On one level I can deeply relate to the ultimate reality he is describing (there is this present sensation inside of me, like I am realizing the ocean of energy) but on another level I am totally unaware of it. How do we integrate these moments of realization the best way?
@@berthibertFrom another perspective, I run my mouth a bit, yet I tend to say the same thing in one mode. 😁.....I sit in stillness/silence so much I 'be' super excited to just converse. No mystery. 💙
Because we are creating what the system want us ti create. The news first thing in morning war on terror murders etc. They know what we are and use it against us. That is what the matrix is
I was at a point where I thought I had a grasp on this but for some reason this explanation brought me to tears, as if someone I loved had died. A wave of grief filled me and I couldn’t help but look at my hands and try to grasp that none of this is real, even though I already knew and believed this. And then I felt so overwhelmed with the beauty of it all, I cried even more.
Beautiful. Sounds like an awakening experience. Of course, we grieve. We invested so much love into ourselves and our bodies. Anyone thinking this is a painless purely intellectual path is just not ready to face the pain of letting go of all these wonderful attachments. Everyone is happy to ditch the painful attachments, sure. But it is even more painful to ditch the beautiful attachments.
Probably right, Think you are god, You know literal everthing, yes! everything! imagine that! Will you be bored being this state infinite time(maybe no time)??
@@BlondeManNoName so the “cosmic dance” of it all is that it’s all an illusion, light and and dark are an illusion and suffering is an illusion. Yup I missed it because suffering isn’t an illusion for many people and there is a very real reality for many creatures on earth of predator and prey. But I guess it’s just an illustrious poetic “cosmic dance” that I no longer buy into. I once did. I feel like that’s emotional and psychological disassociation now and spiritual bypassing. You don’t seem to be given much choice but to engage in a lot of the madness. Even if you sit back and decide it’s all an illusion you’re made to participate in so many ways.
If everything is a dream then why do spiritual teachers have to charge exhorbitant charges for their retreats? Why can’t spiritual teachings be given to uplift mankind?
Well part of the answer is that in the "real" world, people need to sleep and eat and make recordings. (I was actually in the room at this particular retreat). All of the people involved need to be paid. It lasts approximately one week and if you break it down cost-wise, I think you will find that it costs less than a typical vacation. Personally I chose it because it did not involve airfare, since I live close by. I admit that is or can be a problem. However the fact that you're making a comment on a RUclips, which aside from the cost of the internet and the device you're using, is free kind of undercuts your premise. BTW, Eckhart Tolle is much more expensive. Just saying.
If we remove conditioning, experiences, memories, is there anything that gives us individuality? Is there an individual "consciousness"? Some traditions claim that there is a "higher self", I look inside and I don't see that, but as I still don't have clarity, I want some guidance to see the truth in this matter.
Nothing exists but consciousness, but wait a minute,consciousness exists while nothing exists 😂😂😂😂, this person is eating,breathing, feeling pain and joy 😂😂😂😂,this man needs help with those who agree with him 😂😂😂
So, if everything is an illusion then god must be an illusion also. He seems to put god on a pedestal like we are all just in his mind. So, if an individual ( no such thing) commits murder that is just an illusion! Shakespeare: “ Nothing is neither good nor bad only thinking makes it so.” It all sounds like bullshit to me!
Great Video. Thank you Rupert and the questioner too. Your frank and audacious Q draw this wonderful appearance event which helped me understand the fundamental truth about me and the world. It's just something appearing (looks like happening physically) from me (consciousness).
Hello Rupert, I’ve been following you for about five years now and I find you extremely good at explaining things so if I am just a dream in gods mind, where does my free will come into? It is everything I do just predetermined or do I actually have free will to choose one thing or the other?
Is no "God", and free will is just a belief. What have you actually chosen? You didn't choose to be "born", you didn't choose your bodies name, you don't choose how your body looks, ie, eye color, natural hair color, height, gender so on. You don't choose your family, you don't choose your friends as they are simply a result of proximity. You didn't choose where you grew up, or what kids were in kindergarten with you when you showed up. You didn't choose what foods your taste buds like, or what music or sounds are pleasing to your ears. You don't choose what political side you fall on or religion you find yourself in, you were conditioned into those. You don't even choose what to have for breakfast, it's just a pattern, a loop that stems from the journey up to that point. You don't choose anything, as there is no you.
@@ItApproaches interesting but what creates all that diversity? and why is it all causal and why is the awareness powerless to change anything about the appearances?
@@pennywise5095 Can a painting change itself if it doesn't like the image that was painted? No. It's a painting. It's just what is. Desire is nothing but ego. Wanting to fix something to like or dislike, this belief that "No, not good enough, we can do better." No, you can't. Reality is an infinite amount of dreams. They are random, they are all possibilities that can be experienced. The point of an experience, is to experience the experience. Liking or disliking something means jack shit. What creates that diversity? What creates a library full of 10,000 books of all different types? Imagination going in many directions. Fate is the author of all authors. As for why casual, because a dream never needs to be taken seriously. It's a dream. Nothing ever needs to be taken seriously as nothing is ever real.
Great topic. I discovered that there is no self to be discovered. I can’t communicate what I cant experience. My experiences are not my own. They are the so called “ puppet masters” experiences. Im in a perpetual state of not knowing. I consist of a bundle of those experiences, knowledge I have about them. My life is like one big dream. I look at you but no nothing about you. There is no reality to it. When this experiencing structure is not manipulating consciousness my life is on big dream from the experience point of view. I give reality to things “ not only objects but feelings and experiences and think they are real. When I don’t translate these things in terms of accumulated knowledge, they are not things. I really don’t know what they are. To me. The reality I give to things is a state of not knowing. It is a dream.
perhaps, the phrase "life is a dream", refers to the notion of it not existing as a absolute, but, in the realm of possibilities. it might develop this way or that, as the history of our terrestrial world has allowed. perhaps to "AWAKEN" isn't to become removed from the dream, but to go beyond living life as an assumption, with all of the imposed notions of "correctness", or as some schools of thought call it, "ASLEEP", or "MECHANICALNESS". at that point, you can begin to realize what being apart of the "dream of the terrestrial world" means to understanding what you are as a human being. all of our experiences, values, are then relative to the context of nature we live in. there is a nice simple poetry book call, THE TAO TE CHING, by LAO TZU, translated by Jane English and an eastern philosopher, which can be found on AMAZON. if you life near a big city library, they may have a copy there. hope this helped.
As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. Proverbs 23:7. Meaning you create your reality by the type of thoughts you think. We act upon what we think and believe. Becareful and choose your thoughts wisely. I love you all and Jesus loves you too.
7:00 Loved the way Rupert included non-dual understanding even in the teaching itself and also accepted that we will get this understanding soon. 😊❤ this is when he said.. 7:28 I am just a placeholder for your innat intelligence..
Well, the thing is, "normal life" is also "god's" ( we need a new word, that one's ruined!) thoughts/ dream. So what that we don't exist? We also do, for a while. Creation is an incredible spectacle! Galaxies, sex, love, tiny insects, war, great food, sight, touch, imagination. There's so much to marvel at. But yes, one must be courageous; until you face down the ego a bit, you can go crazy! Many seekers are looking to make their lives better, to feel better , but the real point of seeking is to come home to what we really are, which is God. I hope that's comforting. My experience, which I spent years begging for, showed me the truth, and it helps, at least in facing death. The movie will end, and it's no big deal when it does, because - none of this is real, including our persons ! Just a dream , just a movie 🤠
@@threestars2164 I’ve read more than 100 holocaust books. The worst. But still, when the suffering of this often hellish world is , what’s revealed is the fact that it is like a dream. Our true being has no name, no suffering. Why does the world exist? I can’t tell you,but maybe god is bored…
Considering how enthralling dreams are, and how, upon waking I long only to return to that fascinating phantasmagoria churned up by the night mind, it should not be surprising that the objects, people, and events of this dream world have become so compelling as to forbid my ever awakening from this fantastic spectacle of the greater mind, nor to plug my ears with wax to prevent my delighting in its sirens’ song.
Yes, we are very interested by this fascinating drama called "Our Life". Not so different from binge-watching a grat Netflix series. But eventually, as we get older, the fascination wears off and it feels more and more exhausting to be so dramatically involved in ourselves and peace becomes more and more attractive.
~ A Dream? Oh my, how meaningless. How meaningless. Is meaning....meaningful to you? No? What's meaning? Why are you listening to meaninglessness? Into the depths we go. Pure meaning. Pure union. The Father of spirit is all. Too much? Simply the beginning. The veil of eternity has opened. Most dare not enter. Most are prohibited. Most care not. You are not most. Sorry....I'm open...is His placard it seems. I walked with God and was no more. For He took me.
Rupert is not explaining this to the man. I am explaining this to myself in the form of Rupert explaining this to the man. I am not writing this. You are nudging yourself in the form of this comment. And if you're reading it it's me reading it from your perspective. Btw Rupert is so patient because he's talking to himself. Like if you were tetraplegic and you didn't control your hand with your brain but you could only touch it.
Dreams seem real as all dreams do. But, it's still a dream. We're is the dream coming from? And what is the theme? If the dream is fear then we must change what is in the projector, from fear to love. Which entails changing teachers (the voice u listen to) there are only 2 to choose from...the ego; the voice of self righteousness, hate, judgement, jealousy and fear. Or the Holy Spirit; the voice of unconditional and universal Love, non judgement, kindness, and fearless. One will give you all the sorrows of a "world". The other the peace of God itself. The Holy Spirit will show you that you are the dreamer of the dream, how can there be anyone guilty in a dream? If you are dreaming you gave everyone their part to play in your little movie. That is for- giveness is the key to awakening from the dream entirely. I for-give my misperceptions, dis-ease, anger, hatred, pain to the Holy Spirit and in return I am given the correction: God's son is innocent and still as perfect as God created him to be and YOU are God's son. The more you practice forgiveness the more enlighten you become which is the awareness that you are dreaming but perfectly safe and able to awaken. You become what you really are...Spirit. there is no world of bodies except in the sons sleeping mind. All healing takes place when you invite the correct teacher. There are only 2 and you can't follow 2 masters.
I have no use for the words "dream", "appearance" or "illusion" for the simple fact that nothing exists outside the Real; including Life, Diversity, et al. I prefer to keep it simple: "The purpose of the Real/Life is Love which is why We are Diverse." In other words; I will stick to the true teachings of Jesus and the Gospel of Love.
How does everything look when dreaming is happening? Very freaking real! This is unimpeachable. Now, how does everything look when u believe u r awake? The same way. This is beyond simple but conditional activity will always resist this information due to other's opinions on how things actually operate. Reinforcement on other's opinions which r based on conjectures is the real killer.
When water evaporates IT now does not 'know' water. When it forms a cloud it knows a (it is) cloud. Which is water. Substitute water for Spirit and cloud for object/ dream. Both are real but only one is permanent/ Real.
So often, I will sign in and RUclips kicks out a video that goes directly to what my intuition and investigation has been revealing. This is one of those. Perfectly describes what I have been pondering today, without any input. Rupert articulates it so well but is right to point out that he is merely shining a light on what it is that is compelling my mind, and giving it a voice. It's still very helpful to have this intuition and path of investigation confirmed by a master, as the mind loves to cast doubt as much as possible.
He sounds insane but it's what I experienced on psilocybin numerous times. It's hard to support solipsism because I believe everyone else is real, but my experience was that my existence is basically a movie manifested out of nothing. A dream. The imagination of a higher being, or simulation. It's all the same. Though to be fair I think my experience does not require solipsism. At the end of my existence everything does come to end from my perspective. Back to nothingness. But it makes me wonder if there are infinite experiences manifesting and that shared reality is an illusion anyway. The amount of lives I've lived, and physical matter I've felt, and times I've died in dreams, all support his ideas too. There is no spoon.
Wrong. You haven't considered freewill. Undoubtedly freewill exists. Freewill. Free and independent from God. Hence he is growing his kingdom. Your not giving enough credit to his creation. We are in his image. Perhaps everything is a dream, but now we dream. Whos to say the abilities or solidity of our own conscience, but never wonder whether it is mans mind that kills and mames or God's.
At 3:29 it is real only as a reflection, a temporary experience of an appearance. A point of a dreamed reality. Consciousness is an ALL existing of possibilities. Including impossibilities. This reality being one that isn't real. Yet, appears real. That is why we call it GOD
He dint discuss our sleeping in the dream. Nor that we oñly see, project dream ourself. Appearance only is reflecting the dreamer. All I can see is myself bc I am the dreamer, Carl Jung. Are God's thoughts different thàn when I think a thought of hatred. All I can see are my own thoughts and images. I am the only one here,
I can’t be on my own here and with respect to all involved, I do find myself increasingly NOT wanting “enlightenment” because I don’t think anyone truly gets it and so fook it, I’m off to the pub to get lost in said dream. I’m probably not intelligent enough to understand like some but I’m beginning to make peace with that and for me non dual concepts ultimately make a mockery out of human experience.

There is a big difference between saying that everything is made out of Consciousness and saying that everything is a dream. In the first case, everything is made out of Consciousness but it does exist. In the second case, it doesn't matter if everything is made out of Consciousness or not because the important thing is that It does not exist because It is just a dream. Can anybpdy tell me the right explanation, please? Thank you.
Which is the base to see the universe existence , physical body's existence,mind existence,feel exist on the mere of pure consciousness net we all see and we all feel every movement and every thing in the physical world the prime existence is the source of the identity of the secondary existence with all the association .
I have just listened to this, having heard similar teachings over the years. My current thought is what sick , depraved & evil mind could conjure up the dreams of this world? The horrors, the suffering, the despair?
Maybe if you are universal awareness and all powerfull you have no problem feeling all that shit but i agree its been enough of horific lives i know some people enjoy themselfs but even that doesnt last i think counsciesness is cursed
Every single experience is incredibly valuable, even the suffering. This world is a world of duality. We want to cut off the dark, the horror, but we wouldn’t know light without dark.
if you shatter a piece of glass, the glass doesn't come to an end because all the pieces are still there. Sounds ridiculous right? In the same way when we get hit by a bus what we are is still there but something does come to an end.
do people who think they see from the universal awareness move freely about into body minds? or are they still bound like me if so then they are not being universal awareness I actually feel sorry for the universal awareness just imagine all the suffering it feels right now
thats so funny imagine realising this is a dream and going around telling others hey did you notice this is a dream. they will think youre crazy, just like in an actual dream lol
I wish Rupert would offer, like Greg Goode has done, a step by step teaching of The Direct Path fused with Idealism. The above teaching was insufficient for that man and it's also insufficient for those of us who have gone a little further into this.

On this path, there is no desire to change a dream. The desire is to wake up from it and see it as it is.
I wonder when our role ends do we move on to another character *
Be cheerful, sir.
Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits, and
Are melted into air, into thin air;
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.
- Shakespeare, The Tempest.
Yes, Shakespeare knew
Mind cannot understand what is beyond the mind!
Mind only knows what you have experience if there is something that you didn't experience it doesn't mean it is not existent it is there but you don't know about it
There’s nothing to believe, just be n it’s all there…
IT IS ALL REAL. To consciousness EVERYTHING is real. That is the whole point of existence. Learn all that is learnable....to know thyself. Everything is brought into existence by way of being experienced. It takes two. Me and not me(you). To me, everything that is not me is you. I experience you into existence, so that you can experience me and bring me into existence. Something can only exist(be known) relative to something else existing. How does one become aware of the color of ones eyes? You make two. Your reflection accomplishes this, it creates two out of one, so now you can learn the color of your eyes. Until your reflection is created, the color of your eyes does not exist(unknown)

That is deep! Thank you for posting
There is no you, nor me, doing anything. You do not create anything nor bring anything into existence, because who are you to do anything? There is only the consciousness that everything appears within. You are a thought that believes it is real, surrounded by thoughts it also believes are real.
@@deselmsgroup true, There is just one, but the reflection of the one, creates the illusion of two.
You need the two in order for the one to observe(experience) itself.
The source, the reflection of source and the observation creates awareness.
@@mikey6214 It's not a reflection of "the one" - none exist. As Rupert points out, everything being experienced as "reality" is simply a projection in the mind of God, as it were. Dream characters who believe they are real, surrounded by a dream they also believe is real.
There is no doer, and nothing is happening.
Loved this dialogue, really engrossing to listen, you could just tell how genuine this conversation was. Thanks both.

This questioner's mind is the really sad victim of the anti-mystical culture we've been burdened with since the 18th century or so. He sees something mystical, mysterious, transcendent "in Rupert" (really in himself) but his conditioning pulls him back to make sassy 'oh c'mon let's be practical' attitude and everyone has a good lighthearted chuckle. The 'if the world isn't real why don't you get hit by a bus' trope epitomizes this so well. For asking such a serious question, you would do well to treat yourself with the respect you gave to your own inquiry. We're not being 'practical' when we act frivolously like this; in fact, the greatest physicists and mathematicians, who our Industrial Revolution society epitomizes as the most real/practical field, ALL had a humble, almost mystical sense of awe with what they were studying.

I think someone already mentioned this, but the human mind cannot truly grasp what is outside the mind. Ironically, it takes a leap of faith to move past the mind's own limitations. But be careful not to take so big a leap that you decide that nothing is worth pursuing, or that nothing matters.
Would that be nihilism?

Oooh, you still got an egoic fragment you refuse to let go of I see. A chunk of fear. As "nothing matters" is truth, and is not a bad thing lol. A dream's only purpose is mild amusment.
It's not difficult at all, it's a realisation that what happens could not happen any other way because everything happens. We are the universe experiencing itself.
No, we are Omnipresence denying itself.....!! Entertaining a belief in Duality(two powers)is the culprit, when there is Only Incorporeal, Infinite Consciousness(One Being)!

I read that Jung had a dream about entering a church and finding a monk meditating. And he wondered if his reality was the monk's meditation.
Wasn`t it something like that the monk was the future him? When Jung would past away the monk would wake up from the meditation, something like that. My friend told me about this.

Quite a trip to actually let in this articulation of this apparent reality. For several years now I’ve looked to reconcile ‘myself’ with the implications of what was recognised…..which this mind still hasn’t quite fully grocked.
I can feel you. On one level I can deeply relate to the ultimate reality he is describing (there is this present sensation inside of me, like I am realizing the ocean of energy) but on another level I am totally unaware of it. How do we integrate these moments of realization the best way?
@@berthibertFrom another perspective, I run my mouth a bit, yet I tend to say the same thing in one mode. 😁.....I sit in stillness/silence so much I 'be' super excited to just converse. No mystery. 💙
Because we are creating what the system want us ti create. The news first thing in morning war on terror murders etc. They know what we are and use it against us. That is what the matrix is
@berthibert the more i understand these concepts the more I question my own sanity
I was at a point where I thought I had a grasp on this but for some reason this explanation brought me to tears, as if someone I loved had died. A wave of grief filled me and I couldn’t help but look at my hands and try to grasp that none of this is real, even though I already knew and believed this. And then I felt so overwhelmed with the beauty of it all, I cried even more.
Beautiful. Sounds like an awakening experience. Of course, we grieve. We invested so much love into ourselves and our bodies. Anyone thinking this is a painless purely intellectual path is just not ready to face the pain of letting go of all these wonderful attachments. Everyone is happy to ditch the painful attachments, sure. But it is even more painful to ditch the beautiful attachments.
Your own mind is the mind of the consciousness and in which this body and world appear.
Why does God dream suffering unless he/she is so eternally blissed out it gets boring, & this is all ultimately cosmic entertainment?
That makes god a psychopath if “ god” or the energy god is, is entertained by suffering.
Probably right, Think you are god, You know literal everthing, yes! everything! imagine that! Will you be bored being this state infinite time(maybe no time)??
@@smurfmama2020 LOL, probably you can do nothing to him🤭
@@smurfmama2020You misunderstand the cosmic dance.
@@BlondeManNoName so the “cosmic dance” of it all is that it’s all an illusion, light and and dark are an illusion and suffering is an illusion. Yup I missed it because suffering isn’t an illusion for many people and there is a very real reality for many creatures on earth of predator and prey. But I guess it’s just an illustrious poetic “cosmic dance” that I no longer buy into. I once did. I feel like that’s emotional and psychological disassociation now and spiritual bypassing. You don’t seem to be given much choice but to engage in a lot of the madness. Even if you sit back and decide it’s all an illusion you’re made to participate in so many ways.
Lucid dreams can be fascinating.
If everything is a dream then why do spiritual teachers have to charge exhorbitant charges for their retreats? Why can’t spiritual teachings be given to uplift mankind?
Well part of the answer is that in the "real" world, people need to sleep and eat and make recordings. (I was actually in the room at this particular retreat). All of the people involved need to be paid. It lasts approximately one week and if you break it down cost-wise, I think you will find that it costs less than a typical vacation. Personally I chose it because it did not involve airfare, since I live close by. I admit that is or can be a problem. However the fact that you're making a comment on a RUclips, which aside from the cost of the internet and the device you're using, is free kind of undercuts your premise.
BTW, Eckhart Tolle is much more expensive. Just saying.
Simple answer is those who can go to retreat, they go and those who can't go read online/watch videos(self inquiry)and abide in self!
If we remove conditioning, experiences, memories, is there anything that gives us individuality? Is there an individual "consciousness"? Some traditions claim that there is a "higher self", I look inside and I don't see that, but as I still don't have clarity, I want some guidance to see the truth in this matter.
My word Rupert is going deep here. I'm not quite passed the mind rebellion part yet
Nothing exists but consciousness, but wait a minute,consciousness exists while nothing exists 😂😂😂😂, this person is eating,breathing, feeling pain and joy 😂😂😂😂,this man needs help with those who agree with him 😂😂😂
So, if everything is an illusion then god must be an illusion also. He seems to put god on a pedestal like we are all just in his mind. So, if an individual ( no such thing) commits murder that is just an illusion! Shakespeare: “ Nothing is neither good nor bad only thinking makes it so.” It
all sounds like bullshit to me!
Every murder is a vision of killing ourselves in disguise. Yet we do not know death, only change. Our unity is full of wonders...
@@samc6231That's a wonderful notion (seriously), yet deep down doesn't it seem like a bit of a cop-out?

Great Video. Thank you Rupert and the questioner too. Your frank and audacious Q draw this wonderful appearance event which helped me understand the fundamental truth about me and the world. It's just something appearing (looks like happening physically) from me (consciousness).

Hello Rupert, I’ve been following you for about five years now and I find you extremely good at explaining things so if I am just a dream in gods mind, where does my free will come into? It is everything I do just predetermined or do I actually have free will to choose one thing or the other?
Is no "God", and free will is just a belief. What have you actually chosen? You didn't choose to be "born", you didn't choose your bodies name, you don't choose how your body looks, ie, eye color, natural hair color, height, gender so on. You don't choose your family, you don't choose your friends as they are simply a result of proximity. You didn't choose where you grew up, or what kids were in kindergarten with you when you showed up. You didn't choose what foods your taste buds like, or what music or sounds are pleasing to your ears. You don't choose what political side you fall on or religion you find yourself in, you were conditioned into those. You don't even choose what to have for breakfast, it's just a pattern, a loop that stems from the journey up to that point. You don't choose anything, as there is no you.
@@ItApproaches interesting but what creates all that diversity? and why is it all causal and why is the awareness powerless to change anything about the appearances?
@@pennywise5095 Can a painting change itself if it doesn't like the image that was painted? No. It's a painting. It's just what is. Desire is nothing but ego. Wanting to fix something to like or dislike, this belief that "No, not good enough, we can do better." No, you can't. Reality is an infinite amount of dreams. They are random, they are all possibilities that can be experienced. The point of an experience, is to experience the experience. Liking or disliking something means jack shit. What creates that diversity? What creates a library full of 10,000 books of all different types? Imagination going in many directions. Fate is the author of all authors. As for why casual, because a dream never needs to be taken seriously. It's a dream. Nothing ever needs to be taken seriously as nothing is ever real.
Great topic. I discovered that there is no self to be discovered. I can’t communicate what I cant experience. My experiences are not my own. They are the so called “ puppet masters” experiences. Im in a perpetual state of not knowing. I consist of a bundle of those experiences, knowledge I have about them. My life is like one big dream. I look at you but no nothing about you. There is no reality to it. When this experiencing structure is not manipulating consciousness my life is on big dream from the experience point of view. I give reality to things “ not only objects but feelings and experiences and think they are real. When I don’t translate these things in terms of accumulated knowledge, they are not things. I really don’t know what they are. To me. The reality I give to things is a state of not knowing. It is a dream.

@@zoomby4380how do you know?
perhaps, the phrase "life is a dream", refers to the notion of it not existing as a absolute, but, in the realm of possibilities. it might develop this way or that, as the history of our terrestrial world has allowed. perhaps to "AWAKEN" isn't to become removed from the dream, but to go beyond living life as an assumption, with all of the imposed notions of "correctness", or as some schools of thought call it, "ASLEEP", or "MECHANICALNESS". at that point, you can begin to realize what being apart of the "dream of the terrestrial world" means to understanding what you are as a human being. all of our experiences, values, are then relative to the context of nature we live in. there is a nice simple poetry book call, THE TAO TE CHING, by LAO TZU, translated by Jane English and an eastern philosopher, which can be found on AMAZON. if you life near a big city library, they may have a copy there. hope this helped.
Why do people spin their wheels seeking answers to questions like these that won’t have any impact on true spiritual growth?
as well as thought provoking and eye opening this video is, Rupert has a very calming way of speaking, very relaxing to listen to, its like asmr,

Once you've had a real awakening, you know this is the truth. None of this exists. It's just a movie, a dream. I know; I experienced this.
Feels like a fine line between knowing all this or thinking your slowly going insane
Well, the thing is, "normal life" is also "god's" ( we need a new word, that one's ruined!) thoughts/ dream. So what that we don't exist? We also do, for a while. Creation is an incredible spectacle! Galaxies, sex, love, tiny insects, war, great food, sight, touch, imagination. There's so much to marvel at. But yes, one must be courageous; until you face down the ego a bit, you can go crazy! Many seekers are looking to make their lives better, to feel better , but the real point of seeking is to come home to what we really are, which is God. I hope that's comforting. My experience, which I spent years begging for, showed me the truth, and it helps, at least in facing death. The movie will end, and it's no big deal when it does, because - none of this is real, including our persons ! Just a dream , just a movie 🤠
Have you ever visited a holocaust museum?
@@threestars2164 I’ve read more than 100 holocaust books. The worst. But still, when the suffering of this often hellish world is , what’s revealed is the fact that it is like a dream. Our true being has no name, no suffering. Why does the world exist? I can’t tell you,but maybe god is bored…

Hmm, but then there is the evidence of the senses. Don't get carried away by endless abstraction. EVERTHING IS REAL. PLEASE!
Considering how enthralling dreams are, and how, upon waking I long only to return to that fascinating phantasmagoria churned up by the night mind, it should not be surprising that the objects, people, and events of this dream world have become so compelling as to forbid my ever awakening from this fantastic spectacle of the greater mind, nor to plug my ears with wax to prevent my delighting in its sirens’ song.
I think we watch different spectacles the older i get the more creepy and horrific life and existence seems to get.
And that, is the purpose, I believe.
@@pennywise5095 Or perhaps it’s the same spectacle seen from the standpoint of two different attitudes and expectations of outcome?
Yes, we are very interested by this fascinating drama called "Our Life". Not so different from binge-watching a grat Netflix series. But eventually, as we get older, the fascination wears off and it feels more and more exhausting to be so dramatically involved in ourselves and peace becomes more and more attractive.

Rupert is not explaining this to the man. I am explaining this to myself in the form of Rupert explaining this to the man. I am not writing this. You are nudging yourself in the form of this comment. And if you're reading it it's me reading it from your perspective. Btw Rupert is so patient because he's talking to himself. Like if you were tetraplegic and you didn't control your hand with your brain but you could only touch it.
Dreams seem real as all dreams do. But, it's still a dream. We're is the dream coming from? And what is the theme? If the dream is fear then we must change what is in the projector, from fear to love. Which entails changing teachers (the voice u listen to) there are only 2 to choose from...the ego; the voice of self righteousness, hate, judgement, jealousy and fear. Or the Holy Spirit; the voice of unconditional and universal Love, non judgement, kindness, and fearless. One will give you all the sorrows of a "world". The other the peace of God itself. The Holy Spirit will show you that you are the dreamer of the dream, how can there be anyone guilty in a dream? If you are dreaming you gave everyone their part to play in your little movie. That is for- giveness is the key to awakening from the dream entirely. I for-give my misperceptions, dis-ease, anger, hatred, pain to the Holy Spirit and in return I am given the correction: God's son is innocent and still as perfect as God created him to be and YOU are God's son.
The more you practice forgiveness the more enlighten you become which is the awareness that you are dreaming but perfectly safe and able to awaken. You become what you really are...Spirit. there is no world of bodies except in the sons sleeping mind. All healing takes place when you invite the correct teacher. There are only 2 and you can't follow 2 masters.
I have no use for the words "dream", "appearance" or "illusion" for the simple fact that nothing exists outside the Real; including Life, Diversity, et al.
I prefer to keep it simple: "The purpose of the Real/Life is Love which is why We are Diverse."
In other words; I will stick to the true teachings of Jesus and the Gospel of Love.
How does everything look when dreaming is happening? Very freaking real! This is unimpeachable. Now, how does everything look when u believe u r awake? The same way. This is beyond simple but conditional activity will always resist this information due to other's opinions on how things actually operate. Reinforcement on other's opinions which r based on conjectures is the real killer.
Are war and injustice and the like also "God's thoughts?" Or perhaps the refusal to hear God's thoughts?
When water evaporates IT now does not 'know' water. When it forms a cloud it knows a (it is) cloud. Which is water. Substitute water for Spirit and cloud for object/ dream. Both are real but only one is permanent/ Real.
So often, I will sign in and RUclips kicks out a video that goes directly to what my intuition and investigation has been revealing. This is one of those. Perfectly describes what I have been pondering today, without any input. Rupert articulates it so well but is right to point out that he is merely shining a light on what it is that is compelling my mind, and giving it a voice. It's still very helpful to have this intuition and path of investigation confirmed by a master, as the mind loves to cast doubt as much as possible.
He sounds insane but it's what I experienced on psilocybin numerous times. It's hard to support solipsism because I believe everyone else is real, but my experience was that my existence is basically a movie manifested out of nothing. A dream. The imagination of a higher being, or simulation. It's all the same.
Though to be fair I think my experience does not require solipsism. At the end of my existence everything does come to end from my perspective. Back to nothingness. But it makes me wonder if there are infinite experiences manifesting and that shared reality is an illusion anyway.
The amount of lives I've lived, and physical matter I've felt, and times I've died in dreams, all support his ideas too.
There is no spoon.
Wrong. You haven't considered freewill. Undoubtedly freewill exists. Freewill. Free and independent from God. Hence he is growing his kingdom. Your not giving enough credit to his creation. We are in his image. Perhaps everything is a dream, but now we dream. Whos to say the abilities or solidity of our own conscience, but never wonder whether it is mans mind that kills and mames or God's.
At 3:29 it is real only as a reflection, a temporary experience of an appearance.
A point of a dreamed reality.
Consciousness is an ALL existing of possibilities. Including impossibilities. This reality being one that isn't real. Yet, appears real.
That is why we call it GOD
He dint discuss our sleeping in the dream. Nor that we oñly see, project dream ourself. Appearance only is reflecting the dreamer. All I can see is myself bc I am the dreamer, Carl Jung. Are God's thoughts different thàn when I think a thought of hatred. All I can see are my own thoughts and images. I am the only one here,
I can’t be on my own here and with respect to all involved, I do find myself increasingly NOT wanting “enlightenment” because I don’t think anyone truly gets it and so fook it, I’m off to the pub to get lost in said dream. I’m probably not intelligent enough to understand like some but I’m beginning to make peace with that and for me non dual concepts ultimately make a mockery out of human experience.

The Bible has many great teachings. However, one does not need to be a slave to them on the 'promise' of eternal punishment for not believing.
If everything depends on consciousness, then Consciousness exists as pure Existence. Nothing cannot 'exist'.
There is a big difference between saying that everything is made out of Consciousness and saying that everything is a dream. In the first case, everything is made out of Consciousness but it does exist. In the second case, it doesn't matter if everything is made out of Consciousness or not because the important thing is that It does not exist because It is just a dream. Can anybpdy tell me the right explanation, please? Thank you.

Yes in the mere of our own consciousness energy's every thing is exist,world exist person's exist every thing is exist.
But you still need to drink your glass of water otherwise your body molecules will stop moving and you will die ! So times does exists .. 😅
This appearance ceasing talk is excellent, I believe it is true in deep understand of the reality.

I have just listened to this, having heard similar teachings over the years. My current thought is what sick , depraved & evil mind could conjure up the dreams of this world? The horrors, the suffering, the despair?
Maybe if you are universal awareness and all powerfull you have no problem feeling all that shit but i agree its been enough of horific lives i know some people enjoy themselfs but even that doesnt last i think counsciesness is cursed
