This is one of the most powerful things I have ever listened to. I just got catapulted into a world I had no idea could exist..... wow....wow. The simplicity of it wow
Welcome to the truth my friend. We've been waiting for you. It's all consciousness. Everything you ever held valuable was just a veil. It happens to all of us. Now you have filtered through to the discovery of what this all is. Again, welcome.
@@pdigrazi that's awesome. Who said it wasn't? It's just not made out of matter is all. I mean of course you are more than welcome to trust your senses to tell you what reality is if you are into that sort of thing.
@@pdigrazi it's made out of the same stuff that your dreams are made out of when you dream at night while asleep. We've been conditioned to think that if it's not made out of matter then it's not real. Dreams are real and they really happen, but they're actually nothing but consciousness at play and they can't hurt us other than leaving us a bit mentally shaken. Just like this universe. Your curiosity will lead you to your freedom if you allow it.
@@pdigrazi Quite welcome. I never pass up a chance to answer questions from a mind searching for truth. Yes yes yes yes yes and yes. All of that. Everything is made out of pure conciousness that we perceive and interpret to be a world and universe made out of matter. We were force fed a belief system that can't be and will never be proven true. Which is fine. Our one true purpose is to wake up to this fact. Takes lifetimes of curiosity to finally get to the one lifetime where enough is enough and attention on what we think is matter, just isn't enough anymore. The search for truth becomes not just curiosity, but an absolute dire necessity. So when it all comes down to it, anything that can be experienced with the mind, like your flower, your neighbor, your body, the house you live in, the entire universe is literally just pure awareness itself. Which is you. The real you. And the real me. We're all basically similar to holograms thinking we are people. The mind is our enemy until we awaken. Then we can use it, instead of letting it use us.
The experience of seeing is made up of objects and the knowing of them. There is no experience without objects. Rupert doesn't want to admit that there are objects in th experience of seeing. The evidence is clear in our everyday experience. It is true that God is not two but in God are many things. All experience is made by God, appear in God and known by God
Isaac Nyameye no, things are a creation of mind, but have no substance of their own. You might have an experience of things and for all practical purposes engage in subject-object relationships in the world, but that doesn't make it the reality.
You are right but the point I am trying to make is that we cannot say that there are no objects. The reality of any object is consciousnesss. For example, the reality of a gold ring is the gold but we cannot say there is no ring. How can we say that there are no such things like trees, computers, rocks, water, etc etc when we have them right before our nose.
What a loving, patient man, this Mr Spira. The clarity. The understanding. The way he hangs on to the person who'd asked the question shows a rare love. Mr Spira's extraordinary capacity to put the unspeakable into words, point to reality and experience, to go back and forth, guiding the young man left me cheering for them both. As I myself understood, a-ha, the closing was perfect as he breaks into laughter from the unspeakable realization. Thank you for posting.
Rupert so deeply loves the interviewer; he is pushing them specifically, directly. He is not just helping the viewer see; he is looking into the soul of the self that sits across him.
There is no spoon. That said, this is so amazing how Rupert directs us back and back into or as unspeakable pure knowing void of other or any thing. I have never before experienced such clear, profound, direct and succinct pointing. It's like being hit by a truck.
Wow I also love Alan Watts. He was a brilliant British-American philosophers. His interpretation of Eastern philosophy for the Western audience was a great contribution to us all. Great to see you following in his footsteps.❤️
"the emptiness of all emptinessess" xD Ruperts understanding of reality is unreal. I Feel very fortunate to have access to such profound uttering of love and wisdom
The more we try to use words to describe the indescribable, the clearer we see the failings of our concept-based language. We need to use them to convey it, but it is so difficult to choose the words. Rupert speaks so eloquently and then even he decides that the words just fall short of the experience. In some ways silence says it best, but harder to learn from silence. 😄
Only a person who understands, assimilate and implement can give such a clarity to any doubts. Thank you Rupert for endowing my childhood thoughts even I was forced to follow social stigma
Wow, I can feel myself at the edge of myself. I have never seen Rupert push this hard. And this is 10 years ago! I can hear this man’s heavy breathing.
It must start with belief and having a quest. He is telling the world the ultimate truth and he believes it is. He knows it is. It's not just his reality, it's the only reality. He intellectual capacity is phenomenal
We can all be realized and own the Absolute Truth as ones Self. We can all liberate from suffering. No one is not good enough. We decide what we experience and how we react to it. The levek on which we choose our experiences is seen as karmic return, the effect of prior cause and it is and we absolutely chose to create whatever cause made the effect experienced now. However whatever thought to happen before now is only that, a thought. It has no reality therefore is not real. Only this moment exists. Movement isn't real. Nothing can possibly move in this moment. If one percieves movement aka time then they must be seeing 2 moments happen. There is only this moment now. Therefore only one exists and the other is a thought of a past idea of what was percieved. Movement aka time is seen thru by me.
Everything Rupert says checks out in my experience and/or logic. It's like our logic takes us right to the end of the human experience, right to the the last boundary where it has distilled everything into two possibilities which are expressed (in my mind anyway, probably others have a different perception!) as infinity or nothing, stark duality, and neither option can be understood by our finite minds, our logic has failed itself, it's a brick wall, a cul de sac, and then...a tiny door opens. Such an exciting discovery! Thank you, Rupert, you are an inspiration. One more thing, I absolutely love the questioner in this video, he is just gorgeous, don't you all just want to give him a big hug?
😊❤ If we would try to translate Rupert's teaching into a so called materialistic world view, it would be something like this: the light (aka energy/life/love/beingness/consciousness) is generated deep from the core of each cell, from the core of each atom, from the core of each particle. From within. ❤😊❤And it radiates through and beyond the body of that particular molecule/that particular life-form. Everything's and Everyone's (all imagined finite beings and things) core essence is: consciousness/awareness/oneness/beingness/love/life/energy/etc. It gives energy to all. But here, the materialistic concept/system is now stuck. Can not go further anymore.🤔 Rupert can. And many of others can. Science and technology, nevertheless, I believe, is on the right track. It will get there sooner or later. 😊❤🎉
This is so perfect and answers the question I am internally asking and then very quickly at the end of the video you validated the loop we can get stuck in.
The first lesson for six months should be One-One-One- One; Oneness of God, oneness of man's relation, oneness of force, oneness of time, oneness of purpose, Oneness in every effort-Oneness- Oneness! -- Edgar Cayce Reading 900-429
Oneness is an experience one goes through. It's awareness you become conscious of through experiencing it. You can't explain it until you go through it fully. It's very much like child birth, or love you can't really explain it until you go through it. You can not get a degree in Oneness you have to experience it, that is the reality. Yes, oneness is a tree but we share the same DNA as a tree. It's different levels of consciousness, yes the tree is spirit and all divine beings are spirit and apart of "All that is" But going back into the First Universal Law, states that we are all connected, We Are All One. We are all parts of a whole. That means that all humanity, all nature our Creator All that is are one. But in Essence, The Power of Oneness is Love and yes, love touches all things regardless if we are conscious about it or not?
+Noella Tetrault no offense Noella but i think that you missed the main point- there're no things or humans or DNA or... a physical universe which... as Rupert says- means multiplicity which means diversity which means forms which means objects and which require a subject to witness them. There is only the experiencing of being= the knowing of being. Life/being takes the temporary form of the mind to go out and grasp objects but when the job is done it dissolves back into itself which is felt as emptiness and fullness at the same time
It's like God Himself explains the non duality... Beloved master please come to India, just to touch your feet. I can't afford the journey to London. Thank you love
Thank you, this is a delightful listen. :) I'm working with an impression that something of the ancient living word lies hidden deeply within our divergent traditions, and I often hear the throughline in your discussions and teachings. Glimmers of a language we knew long ago. A re-emergence perhaps.. arising sometimes with surprising twists? :) I enjoy following the threads, stumbling frequently.
Oneness, the matter, the tree, is separate, the life force, the alive, the underlying energy is the oneness, the duality, the separate is the the matter, the object..
When I hear of things being empty I usually understand it in relation to the meaning that our individual minds tend to give things based on past experience.
Ineffable absolute reality which some people call consciousness, all, etc...as Rupert correctly say in this video is non-dual and ineffable by nature and prior to any concepts, forms or imagination. He explains this with the example of water that the color can not be added to the water but it is the water itself that paradoxically by the act-less act of 'vibration' appears as different colors, shapes and so on. That when we are seeing, we do not see things (plural), we do not perceive separate objects but ultimately speaking we just perceive. It it the process of perceiving only not perceiving 'of' anything. By perceiving the world, we are knowing it. And knowing in our human state of awareness projects or if you want emanates as the world we see, perceive and experience. Of course 'Knowing' here is different than the usual notion of knowledge as we use in our everyday language. But the question arises right here. For example, I am seeing, experiencing and perceiving... in my current relative state of awareness as a human being I interpret or perceive the knowing and outcome is the universe as we all see and define. However, even my own body and its parts included the very eyes as the main device of seeing are among the things that the eyes are perceiving! When I see a chair or a tree I can understand the act of 'perceiving' but how about when one perceive another human being? Is another human being is simply me who is 'knowing' or 'perceiving'? And I am him or her when he or she is perceiving or knowing? Also, for this to make sense, some higher reality or if you want a transcendent reality should also be in the state of 'perceiving' or 'knowing' us human beings so we could appear and exist. And there should be even another perceive that is perceiving (or knowing) that perceiver who is perceiving us ad infinitum... ! Personally I believe that the Absolute unknowable reality is simply ineffable and can not be put into the words. It does not matter how hard one tries it just can not be made effable. IT IS by its nature ineffable. Thanks,
Even the expression oneness is itself, like the word “thing“, is itself conflicting and logically flawed conceptualisation. Just like there is no-thing, oneness implicitly connotes multiplicity and diversity. Otherwise there will not be oneness. When one goes from conventional or relativity realm to the absolute and ultimate, all words, thoughts, expressions vanish. There is just the seeing, the knowing and the awareness. Or to borrow the core understanding of Hindu sages, ultimate reality is Sat Chit Ananda, Being (presence), awareness, joy (bliss)
Would you be a good soul and explain what he is saying please? I lost him early in the explanation. As simplified as you can, I'd say I'll need it like that to begin to understand. Thank you..
Thanks for your videos. If I could make one suggestion, I wish your clips were shorter sometimes. Sometimes I have questions, and I don’t have time to listen to 30 minutes of material. Maybe you could post extra clips of your main points? That would be super helpful!
Highest consciousness is the emptiness of knowing that the unknown is indescribable yet still understood to be where the perception is originating from. You can use many words to try to describe this Stillness, Place, Being, Knowing, Unknowing, God, Force, Truth. The list goes on.....I like to use the word truth a lot as it in someway suggest the deepest place of being to me.
I am one with the trees may be clumsy or cliche. But there is more to this that is for us Animists to know and for Nondualists to find out. It's not simply a cliche or a clumsy expression to me.
The question at 16.00 - there’s a lot, everything is still there, just you’re not seeing it. But you still see some light when one close the eyes, I see lots of light, not complete darkness at all
If you go deeper into the physical quantum level of perception, the brain still interpenetrates with everything. Matter is energy vibrating interpenetrated (all in one,one in all)with perception matter that is vibrating in the brain. The actual process of observing connects with matter that it is perceiving. This is shown in the double slit experiment which shows the actual observation changes the matter it observes because the process is not separate. When you close your eyes you are just shutting down the vibration in the brain that is connected, however you may still feel a residual connection.(Countersign).
Advaita Vedanta skips a few Buddhist Janas to the last ones(Perception/Non perception,Nothingness, etc). The Buddha gained his insight from looking at the Bodhi tree. If you equal weight your perception to nothing, Trees signify an equanimity to nothing balance in perception from which everything manifests. Also, the all in one/one in all is represented in the fractal symmetry from leaf to branch to tree. Love trees, enjoy.
this is an amazing talk. so hard to even put into words here.. but somehow he has taken the ocean and painted the wave deeper to allow seeing. poetry seems to barely touch. what this video did for me? Knowing is seeing, knowing is ... just is. so hard to explain.
+Mike Smith What Rupert said reminds me of what Wordsworth once said; "Science is that false secondary power by which we multiply distinctions, then deem our puny boundaries are what we perceive and not what we have created." Our way of thinking seems to divide reality into the appearance of separate objects, and science is a model of how these apparently separate things seem to relate to each other, but there is actually just awareness modulated by thought.
Darrell Hatherly I believe the ego sees these teachings as a threat to our dependence on it, which it is, so it will try to tell us we cannot 'do' this. It is your ego that feels lost, so if you can centre awareness on just being aware and allow thoughts to roll by, the lost feeling subsides. There is really nothing to 'comprehend' it's very simply paying attention to what is aware without any resistance to what happens. Try it.
+astrophonix I really appreciate your support and your Speedy reply I've been probably 8 years now on this journey and it's it's been quite an experience. again thank you very much for your support and guidance
Curious 1. Is what we call nature different from awareness. What is responsible for the existence of nature. Can you speculate where nature is derived from. Curious 2. Since I preview nature as a system of duality that constantly seeks balance, and possibly because of this balance, it is easy for me to assume that nature is ever lasting. Curious 3. What good is awareness without a mind body and object experience. What is the modus operandi of awareness all by it self. Curious 4. I feel that all the major systems, like mind, awareness, nature, and any other major system that I am not familiar with yet, all need to work as a whole. I see awareness as a special type of energy that gives rise to the other major systems. Curious 5. I confess, that I'm not clear about the nature of mind. Meaning, who the keeper of the mind is. Or, is there a mind that belongs to the body and another mind that belongs to Awareness. The precedence of all this needs to be cleared up for me. Curious 6. Perhaps there are layers upon layers of major systems that are responsible for all of our experiences. It seems when just one system is removed, everything changes temporarily. Just like a computer. Take one function away out of the finite functions it takes to operate perfectly, and the whole system goes down.
Hi Rupert, In disentangling the term "Consciousness is All", as you often say:"concessions are made and are necessary", even the title of this video implies a concession , since the term "Beyond" implies a measurement. But please keep on expounding "knowingness", which is used as a map or a signpost in illuminating the terrain of reality...From my heart, with my heart, to your heart...Thanks for posting !!!
you are too fought up on the Concepts of Words... he says it multiple times, that no word can explain what he is trying to say because the very essence of Word requires Duality.
Consciousness isn't "all" as "all" implies content or measurement as well. "knowingness" implies a knower of something or subject/object, duality. There is no "terrain of reality". As Rupert said in this vid, Reality (truth) by definition is that which does not change nor can be modified. "Terrain" doesn't fit this definition. Awareness/Consciousness cannot be explained, it can only be experienced. All thoughts and words are the "concessions" Rupert refers to. They can help to remove faulty thinking and help in Awakening, but ultimately can't cause Awakening. The mind is useful in learning but must be abandoned for Awakening. As it is said, knowing about something is not Knowing it.
There is a similar story of the great zen master Hui Neng the 6th patriarch of ancient China. After his realisation, he passed by a monastery and heard some arguments. There was a flag on a pole moving and fluttering in the wind. One say it’s the flag moving. The other say no it’s the wind moving. Hui Neng resolved their dispute and said Its not the flag or wind moving, it’s your heart (mind, consciousness) moving.
Well said Nuno! If these arguing monks are disciples and went for adjudication by their senior, the wiser monk would say nothing and simply hit their heads with a wooden pole, for zen masters know that opening the mouth is a mistake.
The "thing" what is there could be called information. Perceiving could than be "reading" or "decoding" a part of this information. Information is the whole, oneness, perceiving is than information slicing the information into meaningful so-called objects. Reality? Can you really talk about it? Every piece of information is part of the information. Information cannot be changed or corrupted. In the end, there is only information. At least that is the way I see it. Thank you, Rupert, for the great speech!
It seems like awareness and experience form the two eternal poles of the infinite continuum of being, which employs the psyche or soul (integrated functioning of heart, mind and will) to convert each into the other.
so if I got it right, I would say, dont go towards outside, trees or objects, see clearly who is looking, who is a person that want to be unified with a tree, step back towards your real self
This is one of the most powerful things I have ever listened to. I just got catapulted into a world I had no idea could exist..... wow....wow. The simplicity of it wow
@karenmaina if you think this is good listen to Rupert's talk called "A crisis of loyalty " blessings ♡
Welcome to the truth my friend. We've been waiting for you. It's all consciousness. Everything you ever held valuable was just a veil. It happens to all of us. Now you have filtered through to the discovery of what this all is. Again, welcome.

I love how Rupert ‘musically’ explains thoughts as “a temporary modulation of vibrating consciousness”
I love how Rupert's humour every so often breaks his serious stream...
Rupert explains this stuff better than anyone else I've listened to.
very true.
The experience of seeing is made up of objects and the knowing of them. There is no experience without objects. Rupert doesn't want to admit that there are objects in th experience of seeing.

Kevy Indeed!!!!!!
the ending was profoundly executed by Rupert... Silence is the best teaching 😅

I feel like its the best talk by Rupert I have ever heard.
They all seem like that :)
Kate White 🤣so true
I was just thinking the same
I love the comment sections of his videos. So many awakenings taking place here. Real ones. This is nice.
Awakening to what? All that was talking about is an illusion we create?
Rupert so deeply loves the interviewer; he is pushing them specifically, directly. He is not just helping the viewer see; he is looking into the soul of the self that sits across him.
Good perception yours
You can hear the questioner inhaling and exhaling heavily because these teachings of Mr Spria are transformative
There is no spoon.
That said, this is so amazing how Rupert directs us back and back into or as unspeakable pure knowing void of other or any thing.
I have never before experienced such clear, profound, direct and succinct pointing. It's like being hit by a truck.
Actually there is a spoon but it is not the substance. The spoon is the shape/form that came from pure knowing.
Wow I also love Alan Watts. He was a brilliant British-American philosophers. His interpretation of Eastern philosophy for the Western audience was a great contribution to us all. Great to see you following in his footsteps.❤️

Advaita Maunitva ioooiiiii
I agree.
Holy fuck. I just love Ruperts clarity.
A good fuck on these comments is so refreshing.
Me too!!!!! His intellect is so clear.
Super easy stuff..
This is definitely one of the best, couldnt have made a better guide to know our selves.
Wow!
You brought me to me...
You brought me to me🙏🏼
I love to hear Rupert laugh!
I often hear at burger stands, "Make me one with everything."
VeridicusX then once you've handed over your cash and asked for your change the vendor replies "change only comes from within"
LOL

Bravo Rupert - this is magical and goes very deep .....thank you.
WOW. What an in depth experiential knowing of the unknowable in absolute truth.
Can't thank you enough, Rupert ❤🙏🏼
Stunning clarity! Love this! Thank you Rupert!
WAH wah AHA wonderful thanks gretitude Dhanyabad Dhanyabad Dhanyabad 🙏❤️😇
I bow to you for teaching me this.
the experience of seeing, for me, is the receiving of light
(I stopped the video to reflect on the question Rupert is asking)
😊❤ If we would try to translate Rupert's teaching into a so called materialistic world view, it would be something like this: the light (aka energy/life/love/beingness/consciousness) is generated deep from the core of each cell, from the core of each atom, from the core of each particle.

Absolutely brilliantly explained! Rupert’s videos helped me so incredibly much with my process of awakening
Wonderful, thank you Mr Ruppert!
How can Rupert explain the unexplainable? Much gratitude 🙏🏻
This is what I do. Lucky in so far as I have experienced this like that. You get very close to all Nature.

This nice man said at the very end of this video: "I should just shut up." And the great Lao Tse would have definitely agreed.
It's like God Himself explains the non duality... Beloved master please come to India, just to touch your feet. I can't afford the journey to London. Thank you love
Thank you, this is a delightful listen. :) I'm working with an impression that something of the ancient living word lies hidden deeply within our divergent traditions, and I often hear the throughline in your discussions and teachings.
Glimmers of a language we knew long ago. A re-emergence perhaps.. arising sometimes with surprising twists? :) I enjoy following the threads, stumbling frequently.
This is simply amazingly explained by Rupert.
So clear. Thanks, Rupert.
Oneness, the matter, the tree, is separate, the life force, the alive, the underlying energy is the oneness, the duality, the separate is the the matter, the object..
Infinite respect 🌿
Brilliant explanation, just brilliant!!!

However, even my own body and its parts included the very eyes as the main device of seeing are among the things that the eyes are perceiving! When I see a chair or a tree I can understand the act of 'perceiving' but how about when one perceive another human being? Is another human being is simply me who is 'knowing' or 'perceiving'? And I am him or her when he or she is perceiving or knowing?
Also, for this to make sense, some higher reality or if you want a transcendent reality should also be in the state of 'perceiving' or 'knowing' us human beings so we could appear and exist. And there should be even another perceive that is perceiving (or knowing) that perceiver who is perceiving us ad infinitum... !
Personally I believe that the Absolute unknowable reality is simply ineffable and can not be put into the words. It does not matter how hard one tries it just can not be made effable. IT IS by its nature ineffable.
Thanks,
This went totally over my head 😕
i never tought about it you are a genius,this is perfect !!!
Was anyone else yelling "it's KNOWING" out loud?
Literally the entire time haha it was very frustrating 😂
Gratefulness!
Division between material and non material is based on our senses and their limitations .
Even the expression oneness is itself, like the word “thing“, is itself conflicting and logically flawed conceptualisation. Just like there is no-thing, oneness implicitly connotes multiplicity and diversity. Otherwise there will not be oneness. When one goes from conventional or relativity realm to the absolute and ultimate, all words, thoughts, expressions vanish. There is just the seeing, the knowing and the awareness. Or to borrow the core understanding of Hindu sages, ultimate reality is Sat Chit Ananda, Being (presence), awareness, joy (bliss)
Rupert’s laugh 🫶🏼
Excellent explanation. Thank you!
Would you be a good soul and explain what he is saying please? I lost him early in the explanation. As simplified as you can, I'd say I'll need it like that to begin to understand. Thank you..
love his delivery & messages
Thanks for your videos. If I could make one suggestion, I wish your clips were shorter sometimes. Sometimes I have questions, and I don’t have time to listen to 30 minutes of material. Maybe you could post extra clips of your main points? That would be super helpful!
Thank you
Course in miracles!
Amen! Working the lessons in "ACIM" is what works if someone wants to experience oneness.
Concepts are worthless.
The is a visual aspect beyond seeing, and localized perceptions.
Thank you very much
Highest consciousness is the emptiness of knowing that the unknown is indescribable yet still understood to be where the perception is originating from.
You can use many words to try to describe this Stillness, Place, Being, Knowing, Unknowing, God, Force, Truth. The list goes on.....I like to use the word truth a lot as it in someway suggest the deepest place of being to me.
seeing is seeing
wow!!! thank you so much🙏🙏
in awe!
Where is the "I LOVE this" icon? LOL ~ let's just all "shut up" and be present ~ thank you, delightful excursion
I am one with the trees may be clumsy or cliche. But there is more to this that is for us Animists to know and for Nondualists to find out.
It's not simply a cliche or a clumsy expression to me.
The question at 16.00 - there’s a lot, everything is still there, just you’re not seeing it. But you still see some light when one close the eyes, I see lots of light, not complete darkness at all
Many thanks.
Otherness
If you go deeper into the physical quantum level of perception, the brain still interpenetrates with everything. Matter is energy vibrating interpenetrated (all in one,one in all)with perception matter that is vibrating in the brain. The actual process of observing connects with matter that it is perceiving. This is shown in the double slit experiment which shows the actual observation changes the matter it observes because the process is not separate. When you close your eyes you are just shutting down the vibration in the brain that is connected, however you may still feel a residual connection.(Countersign).
Advaita Vedanta skips a few Buddhist Janas to the last ones(Perception/Non perception,Nothingness, etc). The Buddha gained his insight from looking at the Bodhi tree. If you equal weight your perception to nothing, Trees signify an equanimity to nothing balance in perception from which everything manifests. Also, the all in one/one in all is represented in the fractal symmetry from leaf to branch to tree. Love trees, enjoy.
18:45 that adorable laugh
Rupert reached Zen in the end.
Stunned and silenced!
this is an amazing talk. so hard to even put into words here.. but somehow he has taken the ocean and painted the wave deeper to allow seeing. poetry seems to barely touch. what this video did for me? Knowing is seeing, knowing is ... just is.
so hard to explain.
+Mike Smith What Rupert said reminds me of what Wordsworth once said; "Science is that false secondary power by which we multiply distinctions, then deem our puny boundaries are what we perceive and not what we have created." Our way of thinking seems to divide reality into the appearance of separate objects, and science is a model of how these apparently separate things seem to relate to each other, but there is actually just awareness modulated by thought.
+astrophonix sometimes I just feel so lost everything I'm hearing my ego keep saying that I'm not bright enough to comprehend the teachings
Darrell Hatherly
I believe the ego sees these teachings as a threat to our dependence on it, which it is, so it will try to tell us we cannot 'do' this. It is your ego that feels lost, so if you can centre awareness on just being aware and allow thoughts to roll by, the lost feeling subsides. There is really nothing to 'comprehend' it's very simply paying attention to what is aware without any resistance to what happens. Try it.
+astrophonix I really appreciate your support and your Speedy reply I've been probably 8 years now on this journey and it's it's been quite an experience. again thank you very much for your support and guidance
+astrophonix thanks again I read that over and very clear and again I thank you
Thank you!
Beautiful
Ruper is giving the guy so many chances. And the guy is trying so hard.
"I am one with everything" - "Yeah just like everyone."
No - thing, yet, i am. 🙏
brilliant
Curious 1.
Is what we call nature different from awareness. What is responsible for the existence of nature. Can you speculate where nature is derived from.
Curious 2.
Since I preview nature as a system of duality that constantly seeks balance, and possibly because of this balance, it is easy for me to assume that nature is ever lasting.
Curious 3.
What good is awareness without a mind body and object experience. What is the modus operandi of awareness all by it self.
Curious 4.
I feel that all the major systems, like mind, awareness, nature, and any other major system that I am not familiar with yet, all need to work as a whole. I see awareness as a special type of energy that gives rise to the other major systems.
Curious 5.
I confess, that I'm not clear about the nature of mind. Meaning, who the keeper of the mind is. Or, is there a mind that belongs to the body and another mind that belongs to Awareness. The precedence of all this needs to be cleared up for me.
Curious 6.
Perhaps there are layers upon layers of major systems that are responsible for all of our experiences. It seems when just one system is removed, everything changes temporarily. Just like a computer. Take one function away out of the finite functions it takes to operate perfectly, and the whole system goes down.
That's why there is a saying,those who know it,don't say it.They are silent.
Wow good point. Well said.
I just come here for the deep buddha experts commenting how they know better than Rupert.
Brilliant!!
Beyond Oneness, beyond Emptiness, beyond Nothingness. Just "......."
How do you deal with it? I came to that point 3 days ago and since then... fml... 😄😄😄 everything makes sense simply because it cant make any
David Ranger I feel that 💯 no more explanations needed. This whole experience is just a miraculous non-miracle ✌🏻❤️
Soto Zen practice says the same I think.
Hi Rupert,
In disentangling the term "Consciousness is All", as you often say:"concessions are made and are necessary", even the title of this video implies a concession , since the term "Beyond" implies a measurement. But please keep on expounding "knowingness", which is used as a map or a signpost in illuminating the terrain of reality...From my heart, with my heart, to your heart...Thanks for posting !!!
you are too fought up on the Concepts of Words... he says it multiple times, that no word can explain what he is trying to say because the very essence of Word requires Duality.
Consciousness isn't "all" as "all" implies content or measurement as well. "knowingness" implies a knower of something or subject/object, duality.
There is no "terrain of reality". As Rupert said in this vid, Reality (truth) by definition is that which does not change nor can be modified. "Terrain" doesn't fit this definition. Awareness/Consciousness cannot be explained, it can only be experienced. All thoughts and words are the "concessions" Rupert refers to. They can help to remove faulty thinking and help in Awakening, but ultimately can't cause Awakening. The mind is useful in learning but must be abandoned for Awakening. As it is said, knowing about something is not Knowing it.
"Presumption of the physical universe", because we don't know that it's all there.
There is a similar story of the great zen master Hui Neng the 6th patriarch of ancient China. After his realisation, he passed by a monastery and heard some arguments. There was a flag on a pole moving and fluttering in the wind. One say it’s the flag moving. The other say no it’s the wind moving. Hui Neng resolved their dispute and said Its not the flag or wind moving, it’s your heart (mind, consciousness) moving.
And then a wiser monk appeared and said: your tongues are moving too much, shut up and meditate xD
Well said Nuno! If these arguing monks are disciples and went for adjudication by their senior, the wiser monk would say nothing and simply hit their heads with a wooden pole, for zen masters know that opening the mouth is a mistake.
i think that kid was having a mild breakdown towards the end
The "thing" what is there could be called information. Perceiving could than be "reading" or "decoding" a part of this information. Information is the whole, oneness, perceiving is than information slicing the information into meaningful so-called objects. Reality? Can you really talk about it? Every piece of information is part of the information. Information cannot be changed or corrupted. In the end, there is only information.
At least that is the way I see it.
Thank you, Rupert, for the great speech!
The answer is ME
@25:30 reality is not beyond something or nothing, it is prior to something or nothing
I am ❤😊
It seems like awareness and experience form the two eternal poles of the infinite continuum of being, which employs the psyche or soul (integrated functioning of heart, mind and will) to convert each into the other.
Can you describe dreamless sleep?
Scientists try by calling it black holes, anti matter, dark matter, the matrix etc.
Dreamless sleep is dreamless sleep. Nothing more.
Omg🤯 I get it!!!
so if I got it right, I would say, dont go towards outside, trees or objects, see clearly who is looking, who is a person that want to be unified with a tree, step back towards your real self
so the question was: what is the experience of seeing made of? and the answer is the experience itself??
