Rupert Spira's journey to sharing the non dual understanding 

❤ this was so lovely. Thank you to all of you gentlemen for your time and for sharing your stories. 🥰

Im not usually litening so much to pathabouts, but Rupert Spira has allways been a special teacher to me, so hearing his story and especially the link to Francis Lucille gave shivers down mine spine too

Our daughter at 5 years old maybe even younger said to us “I choose you as my parents”. We just said aw cute and forgot about it. Until she reminded us of this just 2 years ago. She is 30 now. And she remembered that day.

Interesting, Rupert, you and I go to the same school, you in London, I in the Netherlands. Then (about 50 years ago) Leon MacLaren was the head in London and Paul van Oyen in the Netherlands. I also reached a limit with what I learned at this spiritual School (I was also a tutor) and saw that the teaching was a limitation. I thought I also had to let go of the doctrine, the system. I found the answer in the words of Ramana (in David Godman's book). I left school and taught my own groups for a while. I let that go too. Now, 72 years old, the rest (practice) is in silent awareness.

Nicely put together “I am the I am”, if this makes sense. Intellectually it’s all possible. Philosophically too. What makes it real beyond all intellectual conceptualisation.? The disciple comes to mind who is asking his teacher: “Master do I have mind.” The master smiles and says:”You’re looking for the ox you’re riding on.?” All nice, profound and true. But to live it, isn’t that the challenge! How to bridge the “gap” for lack of a better word? Thanks for sharing Rupert.

Use to live in Sedona it's a very beautiful place.

Thank you for sharing. That was so interesting!!

This is awesome! I have listened to Mr. Spira on RU-vid for years, but I'm amazed to learn that he visited Ghana, where I come from, live and work as an Artist. Thank you for sharing this.

Journeys are amazing!

Thank you so much

Thanks so much for this interview. :)

Beauty and Truth💫

Thanks Rupert for mention Robert, Robert Adams is certainly the one teacher for me，his teaching is so profound，like no other, thanks

Thank you Simon for asking this curious question! It was awesome!

How interesting! So this is how Selena in Pisces works.

Loved it. This is something we will not hear again. He should have given at least 30 minutes or more to discuss this. I want to listen to this in much more detail.

Beautiful.

Advaita has a lot to offer, it is definitely getting pretty deep into non-dualism. I have been approaching it from the Kashmir Shaivism side. Theravada Buddhism seems a better fit for me as I avoid the "Left-Hand Path" issues plus focus more on awakening rather than this pantheon of deities. Technically, the deities seem more like names for types of energy, so there is some utility there...Plus it's easier to connect with something person-ish rather than energy. Also, it's helpful to note that the Buddha was a Yogi, that was his training with both key teachers, so the Yogachara school has a lot to offer. I find it similar to a rock guitarist studying the blues.

Rupert and Francis Lucille should do a podcast together

Simon! 🎉😁👍

Rupert, certainly your life is far from ordinary.

❤

Thanks Simon and Rupert- this is a beautiful image, (a dream in the mind of God) and the more I contemplate it, the more true it rings. It's almost like consciousness is not in us, more like we are in consciousness. Moreover, I suspect that a baby is closest to pure consciousness that I can think of. A baby doesn't seem to have a library of experience to draw on, they are just building that library. This takes me to adulthood- how can I "let go" of this library and get closer to the pure consciousness that a neonate has?

Tell us more about how “you” differentiate the “you” who knows “you” are “awake” vs. all the “others” who are “not awake.”

All is my own dream.

Who’s the man with the white beard in the video¿

All life search for freedom for the Ego, not freedom from the Ego.

Instead of repetitively discussing non-duality, let's shift our focus to embracing the teachings of Jesus, which emphasize the importance of Love. ˗ˏˋ ✞ ˎˊ = ˗ˏˋ ♡ ˎˊ

There is no approach to Now and no one to approach Now. God or All does not dream, or co-exist with an absence of Itself.

Rupert Spira still does not know that we ultimately do noy know. And to know, deeply, that we don't know is an integral part of enlightenment.

Too much I, I, I, me, me, me

I have no story, I am who I am exactly in this moment, the past ceases to exist, reinforcing the a past story reinforces a false sense of self.

I think it's fortunate he never met Robert Adams, the man was a con artist.

Isn't Rupert a married man, presumably attached to his wife?

Rupert, there is no path to spiritual awakening.

The path to awakening is so long, complicated and painful that hardly anyone can reach it although the Buddha and Jesus and Muhammed did.

Still no sign of any proof for a life after life. All these people and souls involved in trying to convince us but all we get is a fairy-tale. No proof. Are all these people and all these souls incompetent? The desperation is amazing.

i genuinely do not understand how can people listen to Rupert LOL
