Isn't the "I Am" also a concept, an idea of the finite mind? Shouldn't the conditioned self go behond, during the meditation, and observe the ilusion of that statement? To be aware of the dream that this act is in itself? Because it's still the ilusionary "I" meditating on some-thing... just another thought originated by the dreamer... (Inner) silence seems to be the only approach. To whom does it seem so? I don't know.
Exactly! That’s a major issue that trips loads of us up. The “I Am” is meant to be a direct pointer back to the most basic sense of us, our being -our primary awareness*, before thoughts and identity first kick in. But as soon as we start meditating on it as the "I Am", focusing on it, that very act of focusing has already turned the "I Am" into just another mental object. You're spot on - that just leaves us with silence! 🤫 So why the bloody hell are we watching/making these videos? 😳 🙏🏻 ❤️

@@soulspiritself Robert was saying, in another of his videos, that we need to go through the phase of believing in the concepts of I Am, Consciousness, prayer, God, to be able to have something to hold on and work with, until the time that dropping all ideas and concepts comes naturally, including Absolute Reality, Awareness, Nirvana, Awakening etc. If you name it, whatever it is, you turning it into an object in "your" mind. Let's dare to say, even Silence. Nothing to hold on, it is the floating in Nothingness... aaah!, there's the object appearing again in this statement! 😅 But the videos are crucial to get there...where?.... anywhere...😊
A related question on self enquiry it is clearly seen there is nothing there, just the movement in consciousness, and abidance in love, peace, bliss. But when I hear ‘focus on the I AM’ whilst it is seen as just another thought, feelings of anxiety arise, and some tension in the body. It feels like a limitation or I experience the feeling of limitation and doubts arise if that makes sense. But I don’t experience this as thoughts, only somatically as tension. 🙏
It's ALL good!!! The fact you are here, you're waking up to truth!!! There is nothing to fear. Fear is the opposite of love. You choose, your choice. You are free!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm afraid Robert passed in 1997. He didn't leave many books but he did leave recordings and transcripts of most of his Satsangs. You can find the original Satsang recordings on lots of TH-cam channels. 🙏🏻
He didn't write any books himself but I know of three collections of his works - "Silence of the Heart" - Which is what I draw from a lot. "The Experience of No-Self" - A compilation of his teachings focused on the nature of the self. "At the Feet of a Himalayan Master" - Another collection of his talks, which delve into his experiences and insights. You can also find all of his Satsang Transcripts on many sites for free if you search Robert Adams Satsangs and the original recordings are on lots of TH-cam channels. 🙏🏻
Thank you thank you. Will check Robert's in web. Can you kindly share the precise links( I am 76 vision is bit impapaired) which will help me easily to pick, download and read. Apologies for the inconvenience. Namaskar
I actually slowed it down just a little in the recreation versus the original Satsang. I thought abiout that too though and I think it. might be good to make a practice video from that section. Thanks. 🙏
You are free to slow it down. This seems AI Cleaned up and adjusted his voice to be distinctly clearer. Tools exist to adjust speed [speech at least] to your comfort zone. :)
If you read the sermons of the 14th century Christian mystic, Meister Eckhart, you will come across the same ideas but expressed in the idioms of his day. He talks about having to 'go through' the various Catholic rituals, the mass, the theology, the idea of Jesus as the Son of God, indeed even the idea of God itself. All these things and ideas are necessary because people are at different stages in the understanding of that which cannot be understood. Many need things which can be seen and grasped. He points to the danger of clinging onto these things. 'Those who seek the Ways of God, find the Ways, but lose God'. As the individual progresses they move from the material forms of worship into the Great Silence. Once this Silence truly arises, the 'Ground of Being', or 'Godhead' is revealed, of which nothing can be said since it is beyond all forms of expression. Although there are those who believe this can be sought for, they are wrong. For this arises only when nothing is sought. The seeker ceases to be a seeker and simply is. In Advaita terms, the Godhead is the true state beyond all states - not Oneness (which is still a dualistic term) but Non-Duality.
@@soulspiritself Ah yes, so I now see. Sorry about repeating what you said. Although I would say that the more you read Meister Eckhart, the more it sinks in that Advaita and Christianity are saying the same thing. Thanks for letting me know about your video - hope you don't object too much to watch I've said.
Me: Good. I am nothing. So not even Lord, God can do anything to me because how do you find nothing? :)) GOD: Got you. Nothing must be realized not found. You know why you thought like that? Because you are nothing!!! Nothing. Nothing you are. YOU NOTHING YOU !!! (waving fist) Angel: Is all fine, my dear God? GOD: No, not at all. I'm gonna lose it, I am so mad at nothing
@@soulspiritself so what's your sarcastic point? I mean if this is you just reading fron a script of Roberts lectures than just admit it. It's not Robert. Just admit it.

It's going too fast ... It's not a story it's directions to look inside and stand still.

I don't believe this is Robert Adams. Doesn't sound like him at all.
These are absolutely his words. And his voice is simply enhanced for clarity reasons. The message is what’s important anyways.
Amen 🙏💓🧘♀️@@tylernewman5981
