Even if we have understood the true source of happiness and given up the search for happiness in objective experience, we may still feel unfulfilled, unhappy or dissatisfied. Why does our experience seem to contradict our understanding?
Rupert says: ‘Even those of us that have been exploring these matters for a long time need to ask ourselves: “Do I just subscribe to the understanding, or has this seeking impulse really been undone?” Because when our mind stops seeking on the surface, there are deeper layers of seeking that remain at an energetic level - and these layers can’t be reasoned away.
‘So we need to be very honest with ourselves and allow this understanding to penetrate deeply - not only into the way we think, but also into the body and our feelings. Once we’ve seen clearly - not just had a vague notion of it - the utter impossibility that objects, substances, activities, states of mind and relationships can bring us happiness, our happiness-seeking project in the world comes to an end. It loses its power and peters out.’

@@qigonglove1240 The first time i really got it was when i was remembering one of Ruperts statements: "Knowing of being is Happiness itself". Investigate that statement until you either can say that it is true or until you have a better definition. Today "being" is a strong connector on its own for me, a few years ago i needed to add "alive" to it to really take me there. Find your keyword that takes you to the knowledge of being and you will see.

Basically if we didn’t get our needs met as children we felt pain. This we repressed. Then we form selves or personality as defences against this pain and as an attempt to meet our unmet needs. We are therefore going the wrong way. These attempts can never resolve our unmet needs or resolve our pain. Many if not all these attempts are addictions or dopamine fixes. The only way is to look inside.

All is one, there is not two. You know it already, you know it’s true. You can look and look but there’s nothing to find The truth’s just been hidden by the chatter of your mind. Oneness is here, now - not somewhere above Oneness is All, oneness is LOVE. See it and a smile on your face will appear Your life filled with JOY and nothing to fear.

am your sister from Yemen, and by Allah I only spoke out of hunger and distress. My mother, my brothers, and I lessons and tears. We are in a situation that only God knows about. God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs for those who brought us to this situation. By Allah Almighty, I did not write this appeal out of distress and distress. Poverty, O world, they have felt it So, I hope for you. By Allah Almighty, Lord of the Great Throne, he ate what I had in the house. By Allah, my brothers, he is my brothers by sitting in the house. Who has no food? By God, we are in a very difficult situation. We have 4 people entering the house, and my father hasdied, and there is no one who can depend on us and who lives in it.We live in a rented house because we cannot pay the rent we owe. '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''' My brother, my first words are: I swear to God that I will not lie to you or deceive you. I am a Yemeni girl displaced from the war. My family and I live in a rented house in Al-Shahrab 20,000 Yemenis among us, and now we owe 60,000 for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of the people who does not have mercy, by God, my brother. He comes every day, insulting us, talking about us, and moving from the house to the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. The neighborssaw us crying and came back.They came back to talk to the neighbors and we were given the weekend. So we made him swear by God. He will take us out into the street. Have mercy on him and us. Our country is due to this war and we do not find food for our day, and my brothers and I live in a difficult life. Our father died, may God have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world who was with us in these harsh circumstances. My younger brothers went out into the street and saw...The neighbors eat and stand at their door in order to give them bread even if they break it. By God, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and expelled them and came back crying. They are dying of hunger. No one has mercy on them and a holiday is returned. I have made a living, and now if one of us helps us with a kilo of flour, I swear to God, I am dying of hunger. My brother, I am an alien to God. Then, I ask you to help me for the sake of God. I ask you, by God, to love goodness and to help me, even if you can, by messaging me on WhatsApp.On this number 00967772168484 and ask for the name of my card and send it and do not be late and may God reward you with all the best, my brothers Sagar, see how they are and help us and save us before they throw us out in the street, you will be lost or wewill die of hunger. My family and I ask you, by God, if you are able to help us, do not be late and may God reward you well..`/}--~«««~-♡~♡~♡~~•~•~♡...&&&**&*&*&**&)((()))))((((((((

5:07 I am so confused. Why are you not choosing? That is the Point of this Life. To Experience Duality and to Make choices. Yes I like and No I do not like. Why do so many want to walk the tightrope of Indecision? I have danced the dance of loss of taste, touch, desires, addictions, illness’. I stood upon that platform and said to myself, “Wtf?!? No this is not what Being Human is!” It’s not about shedding anything to find a “core” “deep” understanding of 💩. It’s about Knowing You Are Love. With the 💩 and the 👼🏼 both. Pick the Flavors of Life. You all are investing Way too much precious time on “how we live as plasma beings” and are Forgetting to enjoy Being Human. Come Play in these Bodies Sweet Brother. For soon the Dream will Fade Away. Ⓜ️🌻🧡

God is everything, everything is God! As a result, everything is perfect as it is! What is the lesson from this ? In being, creation ( you - I ) is perfect and one with God. But not in doing ! With doing you are no longer in being . Yes, and then "you" seek happiness 🥰 in doing 🙈, but that is in being 🫵😜. Because only in being are you perfect again and one with God 🥰 And there is also home 🤩🙏. Yes, and from home 👉 you can also easily "love your neighbour as yourself" 🥰 because you are consciously "ONE WITH EVERYTHING". YES AND THEN WE CAN PLAY PARADISE ON EARTH 🥰🪄🙏

@chiptowers1 17 дней назад

That is impossible that the seperate self source FORM has limitations and especially impossible to deprive itself of its limitations. The seperate self source Form manifested from the fusing elements of the universe and has transcended. Meaning, because the seperate self has transcended, to transcend means " to go beyond the limits ", therefore it would be impossible for the Seperate Self Source Form return to it's origins because thats not it's purpose once it has Formed. This is unbelievable this so called teacher thinks that your lineage FORM has another Source of Origin it's being magnetically pulled to. Going by this so called teacher's reasoning, you now have your BEING ie your physical body and brain, then your Seperate Self Source ie your FORM within, and now a SOURCE origin where both the Seperate Self Source Form and your Being derived from. And still the so called teacher has not explained how all these Source's derived or manifested in real terms ie in reality. It's so easy to say without proof. You your lineage was initially FORMED not BORN.( your duality) You bet you are seperate self and being, that is the symbiotic relationship that benefits both parties. The whole Universe operates as a symbiotic entity. Your seperate self FORMED source will guide you to the compatible BEING of the opposite sex and it's been doing that for aeons of your individual lineage. Hello! This teacher is preaching misery. Your seperate self is happy as soon as it was FORMED for its purpose for your lineage. No need to seek anything. Just let it happen

Very strange! On one side of mouth, Rupert claims, there's no ego or separate self. On the other side of mouth, he claims, there are activities that are performed by nonexistent entities with nonexistent volition. And, this nonexistent entity was always the one to be blamed as if this nonexistent entity is the Real Cause to do or undo anything. How can it be like that? It cannot be like that. The only One responsible and accountable for any suffering, misery or All activities, would be the One which, Alone is the Real Cause and the Source of all experiences. And, that would be consciouness in this case, if this has anything to do with being a consciousness only model. Exporting all good qualities to consciousness,or the deity and, dumping all dark, and ugly qualities to a nonexistent self or the devil is a message that has been preached by the religions and preachers for many centuries. So. It continues. Praising the deity, blaming the devil. Praising consciousness, blaming the nonexistent separate self, ego mind, finite mind...etc. Existence is not like that at all. A consciouness Only Reality, means, it is consciouness Alone that starts the whole show all by Itself with no another, All activities in the universe, all by Itself Alone with its Own Volition Alone, which would be the Only Volition there Is. There is no another to ever speak of. No devil, no ego, no separate self, no finite mind to ever speak of. None, whatsoever! One can never be too careful, nor be contemplative enough, when it comes to understanding the nature of Existence in Itself.

God is the Most Glorious, God is the Most Great, God is the Most Wise, la llaaha Ila Allah, I testify that there is no god but God, laaa illlaaaaha Ila ALLAAAH, I testify that there is no god but GOOOD, none are worthy of worship except God, God is Omnipotent over all things, God is Omniscient of all things, God is the King and Protector and Lord and Light and Ruler and Controller and Creator of the heavens and the earth and everything in them! ---- Why there is suffering is childish. Suffering exists for a good reason, there is so much Intelligent reason behind it, even due we might not know what that reason is, but that doesn’t mean there exists none, it does, like it does for everything else which exists, for indeed, “O God, You didn’t create all this without a plan and porpoise! (The Glorious Quran) Speaking about the Quran, Religion originates and is inspired by God, including the Quran, and your dislike of religion originates from ignorance, you know nothing about Religion, Religion is Truth. As for God being blamed for anything, this is nonsense, God does Only Good and is Only Good, only an ignorant would think otherwise. God is the Most Good, God is Love. The devil however, and the demons, and satan the accursed the outcast, fuck them, I have destroyed them several times, over 20 failure atttacks from them (3 Major big and brutal ones), and I will continue to destroy any of them trying their selves on me. And yes, they exists,Absolutely, by Ttuth, Certainly. And there is no consciousness, which you talk about, why don’t you mention God ever?, because you don’t know about His Existence nor have ever experienced Him? Then be quiet and don’t spread filth (non-God writings). Not consciousness or reality or Existence Itself (as you like to say), but GOD. Who is Alive and Alone and Only is The Absolute Truth and Who Absolutely Exists.

@joajoajb 17 дней назад

@@Aed-Adlan You seem so sure about many things. Are you sure? If God is all good, as you say, then, it must obviously be the devil and the demons that need to be destroyed as you said. Isn't it? Since, God is always all good, then, it's got to be the devil that needs to be held accountable for all the evils, the bad and the ugly. Right? The question is, where was the devil, before God created it. Was there only God Alone before creation? If, that's the case, how can something like the devil come out of a God, who is only all good? Was there some devil-ness in God? Or, did the devil come from where there's no devil-ness at all? Since, God is all good, God does only good things with God's Own Volition. Right? And, obviously, the devil, not being good, does all the evil things . Right? The question is, Is the devil also doing its Own activities with its Own Volition? You cannot punish something that really has no Volition of its Own? Right? So, God has God's Own Volition, and, the devil has its Own Volition. I'm sure, God's Volition is completely independent. Right? How about the devil's Volition? Is it also completely independent from God, to do all the evil things on its Own by its Own independent Volition? Since, you seem so sure about many things, would you mind enlightening this ignorant man a bit? Thank u!

@@Aed-AdlanNon-duality means, One Reality, One Substance and One identical Truth. Not two separate Substances where the good God is in one corner ,only to be praised and worshipped, and the bad, evil devil is in another corner to be blamed and despised. You cannot split Reality into praise and blame. That is only possible, if both God and the Devil, each has its Own independent existence from one another, each with its Own Volition. Then, you can praise one while blaming another. Because, there are Two separate independent Realities. Duality allows you to do that. But, not under any genuine Non-duality model. In non-duality, judgements become impossible. Because, all the good, the bad and ugly can only be of the Same One Source, the Only Real Cause, to which everything belongs. If it's God, then, its just God and God Alone. Not God and devil. If it's consciouness, then. It's just consciouness and consciouness Alone. Not consciouness and mind, finite mind, ego, separate self...etc. Self deception has done enough damages throughout history due to ignorance and fear. Almost irrevocable damages to the psyche of humanity. Mountains of pains, rivers of blood and tears. We're still paying the price for religious ignorance and fear. It brought almost irreversible damages to so many, almost to a point of no return. For ignorance has taken the place of Truth down to the deepest core of the psyche of humanity. You take good care of yourself!
