The laser-sharp elegance of Rupert's questions to guide a confused mind into self-investigation through the experience of solidity without reference or location in space! As hard as the questioner's mind seems unable to fully understand and properly follow the directions, his inexorable questions, in their simplicity and beauty, reveal consciousness revealing itself, as (the apparent) Mr. Spira, with patience, sharp love, keeps meeting the questioner where she is-yet, unwavering-and points to the highest healing for that very confusion.

I’m accusing this quacksalver of being motivated purely by self-interest yes, admittedly I can not rule out that he actually believes that he has mysteriously powers that allows him to see the universe in the way he displays it. Given that his version of reality is in odds with actual science, that “power” would be called: delusion, and is barely an excuse for his shady business model clearly targeting people who deserve better than this nonsense. Actual insight is in no need of conjuror tricks of the cheapest kind like Spira is using on a regular basis. My hope is that, someone who needs actual help, might see Spira as the hot air producing useless quack that he is, before wasting ones time and money in him.

@@derhafi You state that you "can not rule out that he actually believes he has mysterious powers", etc., but can you prove it? Until then, you're merely speculating about what you've termed his "conjuror tricks." I will concede that what's being offered in the retreats(which I attended on one occasion) is in fact no panacea. I experienced an ephemeral bliss on that occasion. However, I recently had some neurological based issue which in my experience could not be resolved regardless of how much self inquiry based meditation I was doing and have been doing for years. But I think Rupert would also readily acknowledge the limitations to his approach in the face of medical issues and in fact has done so though perhaps not to the extent you'd wish for.

Rupert always speaks metaphorically. There are no solid objects, only fields of action. This was determined back in the 1930s with quantum field theory. These fields of action (words being proxy for the reality) are possibly the "screen" that Rupert constantly refers to. Our bodies, thoughts, actions are all part of this array of intermeshed fields. There is no supernatural realm, only here and now in the beautiful interplay of multiple "energetic" fields of action. Some of these fields of action are immortal, which is to say they act instantaneously across all time and matter. These fields may be the source of intuition, forecasting, telepathy, etc..

"A place we call here!" I had an OBE where I was in space. I didn't have a body but at the same time, I had the awareness of a planet that appeared to be in any place at any time. At one time my nonphysical face was pressed against a bone-like planet! then it would appear to be at a distance or it was in my nonphysical hand. When I asked how this was possible that the distance could change on a dime IT said, "Because YOU are bigger" Boom! bigger than a planet!? IT said, your are pure consciousness and hyper-aware. I will never forget what that felt like. To imagine (imagination being greater than knowledge) myself in that space-time was so freeing. The bondage of the body removed is OMazing.

Without judging disease as good or bad and by accepting it with pure love, even pain can be considered a gift of experience. Obviously, as Rupert stated, we must take care of the body when it is sick, but the idea of labeling the pain and sickness as negative/suffering comes from fear out of the ego and not pure awareness/consciousness. And besides, the body can't live forever! Something will eventually kill it off. That's why we're able to experience love through the sacredness of life. I'm not trying to preach, just trying to understand as well! Please add or refute to help me out.

My Dearest Beloved In the Omnipresence of God there can be no darkness. Darkness is belief but belief is not Truth. All ill forms are illusions and must be seen as such. It is a distorting seeing of a mind ladened w beliefs and it is the release of those distorting beliefs that results in true seeing the eternal and everpresent Perfection of Being here and now ---only God Is. There is only the I Am Life the God Life nothing else is true. The release of faulty beliefs can be done through forgiveness which can be explored more via ACIM or in Silence which can be explored more www.miracleself com or in prayers sincerely asking for the truth of any situation for true seeing or understanding and trust that the answer will be given in one form or another that you will know beyond amy doubt.

Finite mind must vanish before infinite consciousness can be Realized. Avatar Meher Baba said it best when he discoursed: “Mind wants to know that which is beyond mind. To know that which is beyond mind, mind must go-vanish, leaving no vestige of itself behind. The humour of it is, the mind, which is finite, wants to retain itself and yet know Truth, which is infinite. This is the position of those who seek Truth through intellect. Few grasp this fact, and so most grope and grapple in vain. “ -Meher Baba

What a great question: “Why use me?” A perfect set-up question. I only wish Rupert had jumped on that question and chased it further down the rabbit hole of Non-Duality. E.g., There is no “me” to use, only infinite Consciousness pretending to be all the “me’s” in this room, while forgetting its own true nature. Infinite Consciousness did not select ‘you’ out of some cosmic storage room filled with individual, ready-to-wear “me’s”, but, instead, localized or filtered its own infinite Self into a unique and newly-imagined body and mind called, ‘Josephine’ (whatever the lady’s name is), through which you now see and talk to this ‘me’ (Rupert pointing to himself). And, this ‘me’ consists of the exact same infinite Self filtered through a different body/mind called ‘Rupert’ that is talking to ‘you’. In reality, there is only one infinite Person in this room - talking to Itself. (Yes, Rupert did respond to this great question, but only reluctantly as a passing comment.)

This method does not exactly heal the body or mental problems or moral evil. It only relativizes them. It makes you live for a certain moment without the knowledge of all those problems in your thoughts, but it cannot get rid of their effect even when they are being transcended. One can ignore that the person is with certain illness like a child but the illness nevertheless is harming the child. The same with moral evil. Regardless of relativizing things that at any given moment are opposite to peace and love, like being angry for no good reason or too worry or anxious, does not deal with the issue, it only covers it, the evil and anxiety is still undercover. The path of liberation is found in another not in me nor by me, it has to come and He has come and done it completely in all the realms of existence.

The finite mind is how the infinite realizes its actual potential?? The error in this statement he makes is breathtaking! To begin with, there is no "finite" "mind". The infinite does not need the "finite", which doesn't exist. Infinite being is not understood through imagined limitation. The infinite knows itself without a medium. It does not need a "medium" of a nonexistent entity or thing in order to know itself.

@clckwrk0rng391 4 года назад

True and the opposite also ... The infinite knows itself by being itself, but doesn’t know the finite ... if it would know the finite as itself, it would not be infinite. To know the finite, the infinite withdraws into itself and dreamily it creates the circumstances to experience the finite, and in order to experience the finite it must overlook itself as infinite. To return the other way around, the process itself is the same. The finite has to realise its true nature and has to finds its way back to the infinity by realizing that it was never finite.

Is strange and contradictory to speak of "consciousness wanting to know other than..." how can something that is infinite and perfect knowing wants to know other than itself if consciousness itself must know by necessity even what is not? Does consciousness lack knowledge? At what point in infinity did he lacked knowledge or wanted to know something that did not know already? God knows every other level from the infinite opposite covering all degrees to Himself already. He knows infinitely what He is not, as part of His knowledge of who he is.

A baby, any one, would be aware of the feeling of laying on a matress and laying on a concrete floor, is it not? If not, wouldn't more people sleep on concrete floors? I don't see the point he is trying to make regarding hardness as a concept for our experience.

But why does infinite and formless consciousnes want to see anything else apart from itself if there is truly nothing else apart from formless & infinite consciousness?? Can't just consciousness stay as infinite and formless which is its true nature rather than giving birth to entity called mind through which infinte consciousness experience various finite experiences??As rupert said through human beings consciousness realizes its infinite/finite potential.It means is there somebody else who is running the show?why does consciousness wants to know its power/potential??In other words Does consciousness create these so called finite objects i.e world(human beings and other finite objects) for its own recreation bcz it gets bored of being infinite & foamless or is there any other purpose ??Pls somebody reply.

When the pain becomes unbearable and consciousness blacks out and disappears forever, the insignificant life that was means nothing and never meant anything. Alas, we are all fools and life? An accident. Peace is only possible with youth and health. The body is a bitxh! And death the only Truth.

I heard a story about a young boy who saw a bird for the first time, and it was considered a shame that he was told that it was a bird because the next time and from now on when he sees 🐦 he will not see the bird- but the word bird. Is that the same thing?

@glynemartin 4 года назад

The trade off is that in the absence of the physical bird, the word "bird" can evoke an inner image and experience of the bird...

@wilma8326 4 года назад

As long as we consider ourselves separate, living in separate minds, we need concepts to communicate about experience. The concept is not the experience and the word or the image is a symbol for the concept, so twice removed from the experience. The concept is limited, the experience is limitless. The word symbolises the limits, a piece cut out if the whole. The word can never be the same as the experience. If you keep the concept and the word and throw away the experience, you bypass life, lose the real thing, here and now

@asassa01 Год назад

Even animals "interpret" their experience. They have to distinguish between the sensation of an headache and the sensation of the claws of another animal on their skins. For survival. So it is not only humans, that do the "interpretation". Do animals get enlightenment?. Can anyone from a primitive tribe be in a non-dual state as suggested in these talks? No matter what you think, there is some reality in matter, maybe not the ultimate one. But if you see a lion, you'd better run away. I don't think that the aim of a spiritual path is to find ultimate reality, but to find meaning and possibly lasting peace in our own life, and this can be achieved by going deeper into the experience of the self.

Mr Rupert, why do you reffer to consciousness as an entity? Isnt consciousness the medium for existence and its fabric? Every time you personify consciousness one of your students falls a step behind. The "Red queen" rule

@daithiocinnsealach1982 4 года назад

Is consciousness even a thing? Or just a manifestation? An illusion? I'm starting to have doubts about it too. Is life just something that arises in a universe like this? Manifests among the "10,000 things" and then returns? As Loazi says?

@@daithiocinnsealach1982out of curiousity i took a liberty to sneak a peek of your channel and i must tell you man, it's a hell of a gem. Very interesting content. Thanks man :) Spiritual teachers carry incredible responsibility on their shoulders because the people who flock around them usually seek some sort of mental rellief. Incredible responsibility. Sometimes i see questioneers completely brainwashed. The questions they would ask would be insane in every respect. And i feel sorry for those folks... and it seems that the longer they entertain spiritual genre the more messed up they get. Enlightenment and understanding of consciousness shouldnt be that hard. With the propper wording, with sincere intentions, every spiritual teacher should know how to pull them back to ground and tell them straight up - man...you're trippin dude! Maybe i'm the one who's tripping, for all i know, it just breaks my heart to see people loosing their marbles over a simple understanding of what's going on.

@@glynemartin Yes! The infinite does not know the finite... or need the finite...in order to experience Reality. There aren't "two" realities. There is just divine Reality being misperceived as it is seen through the distortion of the belief in objectivity. Objectivity is just a belief. It does not constitute an actual world. The world is imagined... and exists only in imagination, and this imagining is utterly impersonal "knowing".

Rupert is pointing to the fact that ultimately the questioner is pure consciousness manifesting in the relative world trough her body mind complex Her body could be ill and the best she can do in this case is to visit the doctor But the healing to which Rupert is referring is not the healing of her material body but the realization that what she really is do not share the limitation of her physical body

@gwenelbro3719 3 года назад

There is only ONE CONSCIOUSNESS living all things and all beings. The separation is in the mind. Injustices and privileged people are all part of the story. There is plenty of help available on RU-vid and I recommend Cittaviveka Monastery, or Amaravati Monastery for Buddhist Meditation U.K. and talks by such teachers as Tony Parsons and Eckhart Tolle which are freely available on RU-vid. Blessings & Peace to you.
