In What Does My Experience Appear? 

..." We overlook it because we are used to focus on objects " Dear, even Rupert ultimately sells all these non-physical pieces of thoughts and notions for an exchange of physical money...

I would say a charm

@@user-fg9hw3og6e & I would say magick!!!!

Check out his conversation with Bernardo Kastrup

@@JamesBS thank you, I will.

Nothing, but Everything!! The Truth is UNBELIEVABLE

Your right, thoughts come from the brain. Rupert didnt say thought didnt come from the brain, he said thoughts dont appear in the brain.

You know that you are but many of us overlook it and keep our attention to objects, like how we overlook the space of a room. Then a thought convinced us as a fake being and lots of people never questioned it.

How can we forget?

... also, how do we experience awareness outside of thought or perception?

Theory and logic have staying power, while experience comes and goes, particularly a psychedelic experience. That's what I like about Rupert, he uses experience as a means, a tool or a pointer to validate non-dual theory and logic, as well as to remove false belief.

I thought so to until I had my first breakthrough. Books and Video is useless If you want to experience non-duality... and it is impossible to explain a LSD trip to someone thats never done LSD.... Acid and meditation can give jo non-duality for a short/long time and if you have experienced non-duality it change you the "I" will not be the same.

lol

I use DMT and this basically causes ego death, instantly, you dont need any thoughts/theories you just realise how silly wanting and resistance ie ego really is, and learn to just go with the flow, still like to listen to Rupert though and the terrible struggles the people seem to be going through, its all soooo serious lol :)

Yes but dmt is different for me atleast ...but amazing in its own way. LSD gives me much more focus and godlike awareness and my body and all my senses works better in every way. This guy ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-n_6TZMr1HXM.html on LSD and give you a good feeling of what is happening to you if you let go and don't panic like most do when they take acid.

That's what we all have concluded what we are. The accumulated experiences gave conditioned our mind in such a way that a certain o personally has developed. We have then tied that Persona to a certain bodily from and voila we have you the person. If you look at the process above, you can see how that person has always changed and evolved. But a process can not know itself. To see all these changes taking place something permanent, unchanging had to be there to witness it. And that is the real you!😘

Yes, I follow you. So beta waves have a certain correlation with thoughts. But are beta waves thoughts?

@@vintorez9145 Sounds like a rhetorical question to which you know the answer. I’ll answer anyway. Beta waves indicate the presence of thought; thoughts and beta waves are correlated as I said. They are not the same thing. No. But there would be no beta waves without thought. And there’d be no thought without beta waves.

TheKsturt - wouldn't it be that the image in an MRI is the picture, the representation, of the electro-chemical REACTION in/of the brain to a "thought" that cannot be grasped by thysical tools or mental concepts? That was my spontaneous answer to your good point, and it sounded sufficient to me and compatible with the broader background of Rupert's teachings.

Except that Rupert has himself cited - in videos about free-will - the research that shows reactions in the brain BEFORE the conscious thought of the decision. Conscious thoughts are in words of a language. Those languages exist in certain years and not other years (such as 100 million years ago), and certain places and not other places (prior to the Internet anyway :) ), and so they are part of the physical world and the physical brain (injury to the brain can cause someone to lose language). So, just because Absolute Consciousness is the basic fundamental foundation of everything, does not mean that "mind" is more fundamental than "body". Consciousness and mind are not the same thing, this is a common fallacy - because thoughts are private. Thoughts are just objects that are known by Consciousness, and they require brains to occur.

Even we don't need an MRI to establish that thoughts are produce of head (mind and brain. Its just enough to see if any one, (as wise as Rupert) is deprived of body parts, one by one and the thoughts will be there until the head is dissociated,.. this may sound a little rude.. but

“Made of” is a relative term. There are stages of understanding. Rupert makes the distinction between awareness and experience, but later collapses it. What is there to experience, other than the knowing of it? Or rather, what is there to experience, other than the experiencing of it? The knower and the known can be collapsed to just pure knowing. Knowing, knowing, knowing. Just as a movie appears to be separate from a TV screen, but actually the movie is inseparable from the tv screen, they are not two separate things. But they also aren’t identical. The screen does not share the same limitations of the movie. And the movie is a “modulation” or “fluctuation” of the screen. The screen being consciousness and the movie being experience. Experience is the “activity” of consciousness. But still, conscious remains unchanged and untouched. Just as a tv screen remains exactly the same, regardless of what the content of a movie is.

Porn?

Just a method to break the illusion of separation. Refinement happens.

Pre-congrats RuRa for 100k in 2020!

Yes

Have you ever experience a world outside your awareness? Evening mainstream science tell us that all our experience are taking place in our heads (just remember the biology lesson about how seeing works). So your body as well as your mind also only are and appear in your awareness, right? So what is is that thing that you refer to as you? And where is the line where you stop to be you and the other begins?😘

Javier Alejandro Make sure u become one with her

With brain scans you see correlates of thoughts and perceptions, not the actual things in themselves. The map is not the territory.

We dont actually know, so we can only asume, and that is not valid... but we have certain indications that are prommising to the thesis that thaughts are in the brain, how they exacty work and exist maybe we dont know... also as i said, cut of the head, where is the person, ego, the thunker, and the thought?

The experience of a thought or the experience of the colour red can only be had from your own point of view. When someone scans your brain when you have a thought, they do not "see" your thought but only some images on a display. These are called correlates, similar to how a map is a correlate of the terrain. The map shows a blue line which REPRESENTS the river but there is a huge difference between a blue line on a piece of paper and the actual river. So your assertion "thoughts appear in the head" should be changed to "corellates of thought appear in the head". The actual thought is only known in direct experience by the one who is having it. If you want to go deeper, first understand what Rupert and others talk about when they say DIRECT EXPERIENCE. If you cut the head, you do not see the correlates of thought any more but you cannot know for sure that the thoughts themselves no longer appear. It's your assumption. Nonetheless, even if thoughts disappear when you have your head cut off, similar thing could be said if your heart is stabbed. Does that mean the thoughts were in the heart?

Catalin Morosan if you stab the heart that leads to the ,,death,, of the brain, so thoughts are not because of that in the heart, but the stabed hearth leads to cerbral death... i get what youre saying about the river or the map... yes, but let thake a photo of the river, yes, the photo or a video is not the river, its a ,,map,, but it is a kind of a prove of the existence of the river... also you say that the river exists... and we can prove it by looking at it with my own eyes and experience, taking photos from it, messuring the river with instruments and we can say that the river flows on a exact place on this earth and that is not flowing trought your apartmenet or your body... so in that way goes my observation about thoughta in the head, yes we can make only assumptions/collerations, but they have big proves, and validations to it, evidences, like evidences about the exsisting of rivers... yes they are not so clear, and stong, but brain scans, or other scientific methods or evan logical conclusions (like cuting of the head) are very certain prove thst thoughts are in the brain... by the way first person experience is not valid in my opinion, because i can trip, have halucinations, get shizophrenic and experience that i have wings, or even my experience right now, i know it, i see it but that does not know that i know for shure what it is, the tingeling in my ears is a experience, it can be nerve damage, food intolerance, heath, wind, or what not, and it can be proven, but my firat person can only assume, i can say that those are demons in my ears... ok, maybe a bit too much overthunking... my english is bad... i admire rupert the most, but lets stay very critical please and because rupert is the most awesome teacher alive, dont takr everything for granted and for true, please question everything... and another thing, dont explain exact thins, fact, with logical analogy, and that does rupert a lot, flowers grow when sun shines, conclusion flowers grow from sunshine, nooo, flowers grow with photosynthesis from sunshine and from minerals from the earth and from other reasons, logical thinking, and logical conclusions are not FACT, and are not the truth... first person experience is not the only valid method!!!! And analogys!!!!

What rupert and others are trying to point to does not contradict the scientific method. Imagine this is a dream, a dream that has rules and obeys "laws of nature". When you hit a dream person in the head, the person says "ouch!". Everything seems real and serious. But then you wake up and see that everything and everyone was just you having a dream. Similarly, rupert points to the One who is having this dream right now. Good luck in your explorations.! Be open to the idea that you may be missing something. Cheers! ;)

What is he saying, that qualifies him to your definitions?? But even those definitions appear on consciousness, you have no where to go, God or awareness or all knowing is unfathomable by your finite mind which ofcourse is an activity of consciousness. I think the point is, you just fascinated with the content of your experience and tend to forget who you're? But, any way that's what free will is all about. Even jesus tries to explain the same thing in the language of those days but people kept like mule😹😹😹😹
