What he is saying here is so profound. Peace is not necessarily the absence of thinking. When you abide in the basic awareness of being luminosity pervades the mind, the emotions, the world, all that is manifest. It is not a "cutting off". That is a duality. Meditate with your eyes open.
This short 8 minutes video explain masterfully the main difference between the teachings of the followers of Krisnamenon tradition and others. “The peace that passes all understanding does not come from the absence of thoughts but by the recognition that the background of all thinking is consciousness”
Today I noticed something of importance. The things that I have considered to be pulling me back, pulling me away from consciousness are also part of what I’m needing to find. I have been fighting against life situations and at odds with what I perceived as difficulties. And in doing so, I have been creating a division where none exists.
I just recently made the statement that I am tired of fighting my life. I’m just beginning to believe that I can live without constantly pushing against the wind.
Thanks for sharing this - I especially agree that the things that seem to be distracting us are exactly the things we need to turn toward to / find. In other words, we need to turn on the light of awareness so that there is no "dark corner" within us.
Absolutely correct. Look upon everything and everyone in your life as a lesson. This life is a perpetual school. Most people try to stop learning at 18. This is the error.
Very good. Rupert is able to talk about what he is and what he feels within his experience without prejudice or philosophies from traditions. I'm not sure if she really understood, I hope she did.
Praise be to God, the Most Great, the Most Good! Everything in Your creation constantly glorifies You. In You I trust, You alone do I seek for help, for You are the Lord of my salvation. God is the One who instill peace in whoever He Wills. He is the Giver. Divine Exctacy and Bliss and Joy comes from the very Source of Goodness and Love, God. My fears vanish the second I lean myself to Your Hand. You are my Protector and Helper and Securer. My sorrow vanish the second I begin praising You, for truly, praising You is Good. You are the best thing that could ever possibly happen to me.
In the midst of active thinking and intense activities, when i have to do a lot of things at home, when i aware that i am starting to be carried away by the emotions and dislikes caused by the activities, i just utter this word in my mind spontaneously like " i am in this present moment, timeless and eternal..." then what happen next is suddenly i loved everything around me because the burden was lifted away, it turned to compassions and even as washing a dishes i became compassionate on small thing like this, in this wave of peace i found a surge of will and strength to do everything and to have compassions on anything in life.
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful experience of yours. I find exactly the same thing - that energy within me seems to flow out effortlessly, when I don't have an agenda, have no expectations, can accept anything to happen, and simply be in the present moment. Ironically, it never seems natural when I have an agenda / goal and trying to work towards it - it's as if the agenda / goal itself caused suffering.
@@JessMaccain you are welcome sister Daisy, yes an agenda is an objective that creates attachment within us, and every attachment means that we have to suffer because we must or had to work in order to earn those little impermanent wave of happiness from that attachment , so of course working towards an agenda needs an energy and yeah the energy flow will never feel natural once you already know how to find the eternal peace within you versus peace associated or caused by certain circumstances on our physical effort at any time, so constant self awareness of the present moment will always help us to remain aware of the true peace and the legit natural flow of our own energy within, so its a precious practice and meditation one could have done in a day, its a fulfilling our true purpose each of the moment of our breath, its wonderful my friend 🤗😘
@@ZENAOHM Thanks for sharing this! It makes me think that it's probably not "what" we do that matter, but more what "quality" we bring to that doing. That "quality" is ultimately derived from our good relationship with the current moment. This is a very liberating thing to realize, so that we don't only selectively enjoy doing certain things but not others.
@@JessMaccain exactly sister, only when we have spent sometime on this present moment "practice" , like a growing relationship, the so called practice at the beginning will eventually transformed into our ability to naturally becomes aware of the present moment, at this stage when we are facing any agenda or doing any work, big or small, it does not matter but we will always find a fulfillment within it, joy and peace are simultaneously experienced,

It is important to realise that the thought process is based on what our memory registers from present moment, and what is registered in the memory is just a reflection of reality (present moment), and not the reality itself. Therefore as much as a thought process can be elegant and wonderful, it only deals with past and future (which is a reflection of the past), and it has nothing to do with present, and it is something which you realise if you are a good observer, and this realization effortlessly leads to the calmdowning of the thought process as the thought energy set back to to its origin.
Thoughts are accompanied by emotions and emotions generate more thoughts. Alright, we can be happy if we have positive thoughts and emotions. What happens when negative thoughts and emotions occur? Can we be happy then. I wrote " occur " because at least some of the time thinking and feeling just happen. " Just happen " because they're mostly emotions and thoughts suppressed in the past and are surfacing in new costumes. These must be understood for what they are and processed.
Bhagwad gita contains a gist of major Indian philosophies. You can interpret the entire Bhagwad Gita in light of Advaita. There is an ongoing class from the Vedanta Society Of New York. If you want I can share it.
I did course in consciousness. I had several episodes of ecstacy and rapture.i I went to emptiness beyond mind and body zone lot of times.now I am stuck like...if I rest myself in seeing or hearing or go completely out of focus body gets agitated ..like attack of fits..so I am forced in to be in finite mind.pure awareness has become elusive. Please help me
you are nothing but awareness, let thinking happen as it is not something that is bad nor negative, just a little funny process. Let the body feel what it feels. I felt like i needed to be aware of awareness and subcounsiously treated anything other than pure awareness as negative, when everything is just awareness, wether i am experiencing thinking or not.
@@cherukumudiradha4579 Life is definetly challenging, just know everyone basically suffers on different level. Everything is as it should be. Haven't experienced your state, sounds exhausting but what i do know is: The I AM can't be touched by this physical realm, the real you can't be damaged nor die. So lean in to that. And yes it has been going on for 2 years, but that's just a story in the mind. There is no time, Just the NOW, without the mind, there is no past nor future. I am experiencing challenging times aswell, and i just have to let it all happen and trust in LIFE. Good luck fellow being, hope you find unshakeable peace, which we all inherently have :)
@@FredEmpty nice reply..Already I go in to blissfulness state effortlessly. But this problem crops up at times..I like to know about your experiences and state..is it possible to give your Email.
This is new for me also but it does change everything indeed. However, I'm either lost in thought (or thinking) or aware off the thinking. I don't understand how you can remain aware of the thinking process while thinking. Have you any tips, insight? 🙏

Rupert blows my mind again - this is the first time I’ve heard of this concept and it changes everything.
I love this man, he is incredibly powerful in explaining Ramana Maharshi's teachings
Got it. I finally understand why my meditations which give me profound peace don’t continue that peace when I stop meditating.
How? Can you explain please?
@@pixsiedoll2341 Actually I don’t remember exactly anymore. But I quickly scanned the video and the answer starts at 6:50 if you listen.
Interesting. When Rupert answers, they understand and their faces change. All look so relaxed.🙏🏾❤️
It's amazing how you can articulate all this so beautifully Rupert.
Such clarity. ;-)
Love all your posts. Many thanks for brushing the dust off the mirror every time I listen to you 🤗
I always come back to listen to this
Lóve Rupert's soft and kind spirit, it shows all over his face!
Absolutely loved that and I understood it completely 😁. Thank you Rupert!
Thank you for such cristal-clear explanation !
Love that you say that you love thinking. Thank you. Sending love and light

Live has the striving to live and experience itself as diverse as possible, no matter if as matter, never mind if as mind or whatever.

All there is is this and the knowing of it.

Very profound.
Love this man!
Thank you😌🙏
Silence is greater than thought but that never happens long enough
Wow.
It’s made of change
Is this applicable if you're stark raving mad?
This guy is beautiful!
Where does the philosophy of Bhagwad Gita diffeer from Advaita Vedanta, sir? Can you make a video on it?
