All experience appears in Consciousness, is known by Consciousness and is made of Consciousness. Contemplating experience in this way, we arrive at the inevitable conclusion that Consciousness is the sole reality of all that is. All that remains is to live the implications of this felt understanding in all realms of life.
Rupert Spira has been deeply interested in the nature of Reality from an early age. For twenty years he studied the teachings of Ouspensky, Krishnamurti, Rumi, Shankaracharya, Ramana Maharshi, Nisargadatta and Robert Adams, until he met his teacher, Francis Lucille, thirteen years ago. Francis introduced Rupert to the teaching of Jean Klein, Parmenides, Wei Wu Wei and Atmananda Krishnamenon and, more importantly, directly indicated to him the true nature of experience. Rupert is author of The Transparency of Things and Presence, Volumes I and II, The Art of Peace and Happiness and The Intimacy of All Experience. www.rupertspira.com

The day I stumbled upon Rupert Spira is my new birthday.
Rupert is the best teacher I have come across.
Rupert is a gift. Thank you God/Consciousness
Rupert is the best gift in my life
This video made me think about my brother and how he is great at his work.
perfectly fetched. perfectly translated into spoken language.
...do yourself a favour and don't listen to it in a hurry, the words need to have their time for being experienced by your mind :)
Ed Schroedinger. Trying to slow down but keep finding myself listening at the speed of sound!
I’d like to see Rupert start adding this blue & pink background into his standard repertoire along with the glass of water and flowers in a vase.
Wonderful discourse. It can best be summed up eloquently and Masterfully by the following brief passage from the I believe 1960s by Avatar Meher Baba which I’d to share with all of you:
The Lover and The Beloved
God is love. And love must love.
And to love there must be a Beloved.
But since God is Existence infinite and eternal
there is no one for Him to love but Himself.
And in order to love Himself, He must imagine Himself
as the Beloved whom He as the lover imagines He loves.
Beloved and lover implies separation.
And separation creates longing;
and longing causes search.
And the wider and more intense the search,
the greater the separation
and the more terrible the longing.
When longing is at its most intense point,
separation is complete,
and the purpose of separation,
which was that love might experience itself
as lover and Beloved, is fulfilled; and union follows.
And when union is attained, the lover knows that
he himself was all along the Beloved, whom he loved
and desired union with;
and that all the impossible situations that he overcame
were obstacles which he himself had placed in the path
to himself.
To attain union is so impossibly difficult
because it is impossible to become
what you already are!
Union is nothing other than knowledge
of oneself as the Only One.
----Meher Baba

Just ...wow...
I love Rupert Spira he delivers his lectures so brilliantly. However i did not understand the last sentence "if God exists, how do you dare mention his name?" i don't get it.
+Richard Watson Keeping in mind what Spira said just prior to that "and if there is just consciousness, how can we even call it consciousness, without something to contrast consciousness with, such as an object, the word consciousness by itself signifies nothing..." it allows us to understand the sentence that confused you. In other words what Spira is saying that to use the method of words to refer to God, in a sense implies that there are other things that also exist, as language is used to refer to a great many things. But if God exists, God only exists infinitely and eternally by definition and thus to refer to to God whilst implying that there other things in existence makes no sense. It's like agreeing there's only one colour and nothing else in existence, yet using the word "Colour" in conversation. This word implies that other words also refer to things that exist. Hope that helps.

Okay, i get it i think, thanks :)
Naming = limiting
Not bad.
Close and close is as close as it gets when attempting to verbalize that which is awake to itself.
wow
I don’t get the Mary and Jane characters. I have never in my life dreamed I was a different person in the dream. This is what confuses me. Am I misinterpreting?
Yes he just uses different names to help distinguish between the dreamer and the dreamed character
I wonder what's an original voice
27:27 "no self or thing ever comes into existence. existence, from the latin "ex" and "stare", means to stand out from. in reality, nothing stands out from god's infinite being. there is only god's infinite being. infinite self aware being, modulating itself within itself appearing to itself through the agency of the finite mind as the multiplicity and diversity of objective experience. but at no point does any self or object come into existence. that's why the sufis say 'everything is god's face'".
a passage to really release us from the idea of birth & death
I apologize for being rude, but I couldn't handle the slow rate of speech. This reminded me of when I had to do a timed speech in middle school & I knew what I prepared wasn't long enough to cover the required time, so I added a lot of dramatic pauses.
I guess I need to work on my concentration because I was forgetting what the first part of the sentence was by the time he finally got around to finishing his thought. My brain fills his silence with wondering about a million other things.
That's exactly why he speaks slow.. to bring more awareness to oneself.
+Louise Belcher You know you can speed it up on the settings.
+Louise Belcher well... this is not the usual lecture, talk or palette situation... it's more like a meditation (esp. the first ~10mins)
if you want to get the whole experience, you will need - and actually appreciate - the silence ...for it takes a moment to get into resonance with the essence of the words spoken.
it's been some time since I've had the opportunity to listen to such dense, chrystal-clear and essential presentation of how to wrap the abstract into language and actually managing to transport it in such an immersive maner... almost like reading a book of highly philosophical poems...
you might want to listen to it again when you're relaxed, easy, and undisturbed... you actually might enjoy it a lot more then...
the talk becomes a wee bit faster paced after like 10 minutes, however ;)
Friend... it is so subjective..
I heard it at a reduced speed @ 0.75..
It is not that I don't know enough English.I wanted to contemplate upon what he says..
When you listen two three times and ponder upon, you may be able even to see where you do not agree on the concept rather than complaining on rate of the speech..
Reverend Eslam : to paraphrase MeherBaba : mind running fast : mad; mind slowed down : spiritual advancement; Mind stopped: God Realization.
Pretty well sums it up.
Our awareness of consciousness is determined by faith in the unseen. For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love.
No faith required. Sorry. I'm not sure where you got this but you are not describing non-duality.
whom is dreaming mary?
Mary is the activity of infinite awareness
But why then??? Why create or "dream" Jane? Why does awareness already and always knowing itself "need" to create our world, us humans and our minds in the dark, feeling separate and suffering? Just for its entertainment? Seems cruel to me.
In the words of the great sage and mystic Master Yoda, "no, there is no why".
In the words of Albert Einstein: “The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.” I say question everything. Otherwise you’re easy pray for charlatans selling snake oil claiming they understand, that there is nothing to understand.
I think because the Awareness is curious. Otherwise there is no good answer. And of course we need to forget our human ethics (goodness and evil, etc.).
That's not the whole thing. I would rather hear the whole thing, please.
finally :3
Loiise. If you really understand or connect to yourself (with a big Y), you would not see or perceive the pauses. Sorry.!
This guy needs to lay off the drugs
