Rilke and The Tantric Path 

Why should your practice be limited? Continous practice is the only way to reach that which is thought be be beyond reach

Sönke Schmidt I cant go longer than that because my lifestyle doesn’t support it. I need to be at work at a certain time each day during the week, and I have commitments that require me to live in time. However I am currently working on manifesting my dream lifestyle of offgrid nomadic living which would enable me to further my practice of timeless living

Good stuff! You're right, and I highly recommend Kingsley's work (beginning with his book "Reality") as well.

Thanks man. What you say is relevant to me. I recently found that Francis Lucille, who is Rupert's teacher, translated Parmenides's work. You may find a connection with this.

Ug krishnamurti is also the goat of spirituality

Legt das Mittelmeer trocken und baut eine Mauer! Are you aware?

@@verfassungspatriot aware that you are aware, no objects to be found, relaxing must happen and peace with love is revealed, welcone home in your true nature, mind cannot accept such simple

@@verfassungspatriot it is mind which says, anything you think you become it for a while and then return to home again, all is game for awarness to play, it is so simple, do not find difficult in it, drop everything. To have body is also for a while like a thought but this thought is longer, you can step off the body even while you are alive, be and watch, what you see? Do not overlook such simplicity, yes mind must be death and something here is permanent forever which is you

Hi can u please explain more about the right n left hand paths?thank u...

@Ramdas Ormond: One constant (?) What about BEING (?) Don't you have to BE . . . before you can BE aware or BE conscious (?)

In German the poem is called THE APPLE and starts like that: Apfel, Birne und Banane und Stachelbeere.... The Poem is from Rainer Maria Rilke and can be found in the internet.

change your vibration! change It into love and peace.

@@maryamnajibullo685 Oh, that does sound good. I think I will do that. Thanks.

Why?

Kili Fischkopp....the point that the monk(ask a monk) is trying to make is along the lines of "familiarity breeds contempt"...... basically if u r fully attentive to outside perceptions,u wld see them for what they truly are, fleeting temporary stuff......the pleasure these fleeting stuff bring is also temporary,and hence not worth holding on to......!!.... ......u cannot approach this intellectually ,u have to try this out experientially,to found out if this is true or not........ (the attachment that u speak of is just a thought preceded by a sensation ... ....u can try this two step process where u come across an object that is likely to either provoke attachment or aversion in u,try to observe Ur thought process and emotions ,how they get affected by the presence or absence of that object)....

Total confusion can be useful. The mind has chased its own tail for so long it may finally step back and realize the futility of the endeavor, and stop endeavoring permanently (aka enlightenment)! I believe rupert is referring to the tantric path where you can observe and penetrate one form of phenomena to the point where “you” are lost and there is just one. I find the vedanta path easier, basically you just sit and watch what comes up without engaging until the mind recedes on its own from disuse, its a sort of surrender. This may take quite some time depending on where you are in the practice.

@@TheJooberjones actually both Tantra(Buddhist and Hindu) and Vedanta employ both approaches,...but letz call them tantric and vedantic for now..... while both approaches can shed some insight, personally it is the tantric approach that is more pragmatic,........ Vedantic approach is more waiting and surrender,which is great in itself ......but tantric approach asks one to pay attention to the phenomenon and observe what effect that has on oneself... How the phenomenon influences one ,how it conditions one's mind,....the entire mechanism of sense perceptions, thoughts and emotions are revealed in great detail by such an investigation........ Moreover Vedanta streches the concept of ultimate consciousness too much,it's just mind observing mind and senses....!!!.

Constipated Bowels good insights there i havent heard it presented that way. So you are almost inviting the mind to do its thing or react and then observing that until it loses its “pull”. Hope your bowels are doing ok.

@@TheJooberjones The approach is not to interfere with the mental commentary at all,but to watch it,and track its every move,....our thoughts (not even our emotions or sensations) are what create suffering!!......emotions happen, feelings happen,sensations happen,but thoughts(discursive thinking) give these events thier own colour, ....thoughts only create the "me" or separate self.......and hence most pragmatic approach to end suffering is to observe discursive thinking in a non-judgmental impartial manner......the whole point of this exercise is to expose the ridiculousness of the running commentary in our heads............(btw the whole witness consciousness in Vedanta seems a bit contrived)..... ultimately it's just mind observing mind.......... PS:- Thanks for Ur concern, ...appreciate it!!...My bowels have been constipated since the day I had my first experience of "satori"......

@@JulioHernandez-je4gj Gracias amigo. A ver si lo logro😉 Dios te bendiga🙏

@@JulioHernandez-je4gj No lo logro . Por qué han dejado de subtitular ?😪

In my opinion this is beyond culture. I understand that a firm cultural background could be nessecary for explaining Tantra in it's historical context, but in essence it's found everywhere.

@Purr Haps yes. Thank you.

Nirali, I would have made the same comment a few years ago, but I slowly woke up and realized it was only my ego talking, trying to defend my identity as an Indian and righteous perpetual victim/enemy of the white man and holder of truth. The ego loves opposition and enemies and holding onto stories of the past. It will keep us fighting and arguing forever in ignorance and away from the truth (the real enemy is within)... If “God” is everywhere and everything, then it is also the white man and everything he has done! Hinduism notes that the whole universe is the divine playing hide and seek with itself, pretending to be separate, pretending to have enemies, it’s all part of Leela, the game. Once we realize who is playing the game and who we are playing it with, all the animosity drops away. I decided to drop my attention to the outside “problem” (in this case it would be white dude appropriating Indian concepts for profit without knowing the full depth), and direct my attention towards who it is in me that is bothered by this situation... turns out it is the survival based ego, that wants to maintain our separateness as he the evil white man and me the good Indian woman. I maintained this separation of “good vs bad” for many years but realized that it brought no real satisfaction, because it was not the truth. Turns out I didn’t know anything about the teachings myself (even though I was born a Hindu), so I can’t really criticize another from another culture for trying to study them. I would rather study it from whoever has the knowledge. Ultimately no conceptual knowledge is the truth- so experiential wisdom is the only thing that liberates. The trouble with us Indians now is that after what we went through with British and other invasions, we became incredibly ego/identity/survival oriented, while not realizing that this hyperego goes against the very teachings that came from our own land. Now we are hyper sensitive to defending our cultural identity around the world, trying to prove ourselves and our worth, gaining status in the westernized world etc, meanwhile non Indians are taking a true interest in knowing the truth. We Indians are going backwards!.. meanwhile, the irony is that a few white people, whose ancestors brutalized the Indians took to the teachings of the East, (probably unable to withstand their own inner turmoil) and became liberated, and now teach it back to the Indians! At this point, I am not too concerned about the identity of the teacher but rather the quality and integrity of their experiential wisdom. It simply does not matter. God is everything and a murderer in jail has equal opportunity for becoming liberated (oftentimes more, as they are driven by the desperation of their own inner suffering) as a monk. Everyone suffers the illusions and delusions of their own mind, and acts it out as victim or oppressor, but ultimately the suffering is the same. I wish liberation for all.
