Rupert reads from his new book, You Are the Happiness You Seek (Part 2)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ก.ค. 2024
- To celebrate the recent release of You Are the Happiness You Seek, Rupert Spira's latest book, Rupert talks a little about the writing of the book and also reads the second chapter for you all to enjoy.
In this book, Rupert distils the message of all the great religious and spiritual traditions into two essential truths: happiness is the very nature of our self or being, and we share our being with everyone and everything.
Drawing on numerous examples from his own experience, he demonstrates that to seek lasting happiness through objects, situations and relationships is destined for failure and disappointment, and skilfully guides the reader to recognise that we are already the happiness we seek.
This book is for anyone who yearns for lasting happiness and is open to the possibility that it is continuously available within ourselves, irrespective of our circumstances.

Just listening to you is meditation for me Rupert. You've got calming effect on me and I enjoy your videos very much. I'll read your book and thank you for your wonderful teachings. Love for everyone from Serbia ❤️
So beautiful hearing you again and again and having constantly a reminder that we are what we are looking for . Your sweet presence is balm for our heart ❤️ 💙 💜
#1 Wishlist item: could Rupert please consider offering audiobook versions of his books? I would happily pay 2 or 3 times more for this. I drive for a living, so I don't have lots of time to read but I really enjoy listening to Rupert's videos multiple times and every time I listen I gain new understandings from each of them. C'mon now, you must know we aren't WATCHING Rupert's videos on TH-cam - we're LISTENING to them! Please let him know we want to listen to his books as well!
I got the audiobook version of this book on his website.
Is it narrated by Rupert though?@@mroctober3657
Thank you for sharing this profound wisdom. I bought veils for my children to visually remind us of that which eclipses our true nature, our eternal happiness. ❤
Infinite is peace and peace is happiness and they are all just non-dual consciousness, our true nature.
It's like Holy Trinity!
Thank you Rupert for yet another precious gem of wisdom.
Thank you so much Rupert! I was a little sad about something this morning. And then I heard you say something like you’re not the feeling but the knower of the feeling, you’re not the experience but the one experiencing. That was an Aha moment!!! That feeling of sadness just seemed to vanish away!! 😊❤️🙏
Thank you so much Rupert! 🙏🏻
Live has the striving to live and experience itself as diverse as possible, no matter if as matter, never mind if as mind or whatever.
"know thyself" reminded me on Thomas a Kempis he once said "an humble knowledge of thyself is a surer way to God"
Thank you and bless you beloved. 🙏💐💎
Under, within, beneath and as the seeming misuse of these very technologies is this, what is being shared here, now. Thank you for seeming to be you. (words) Cheers from down under.
Thank you so much for doing these readings. They are so wonderful. 🙏🏽♥️
More please...I read along with you at first but found it so pleasing and joyous to listen 🎶 ❤ thankyou
I find that meditation helps with all of these problems. It’s as if we exist in perfection at some level and meditation will get us there but it is not a quick fix but must be practised daily for a gradual release of unwanted states of mind.
Thank you Rupert. Ananda!
Reading the book now. Great work Rupert. Thank you.

Superb
Silence
Silence is your Teacher.
Don’t listen to your mind.
The One You Really Are…
in Silence you will ever find.
Silence… just like Emptiness…
no creation nor imagination…
keeps you far from every stress…
a happy Self-revelation.
Silence is your only Guru.
Just turn away from noise.
To discover That What’s Ever True…
Silence is your only choice.
Silence… just like Peace…
to Be is all that Is.
Forever you can be at ease…
and therefore Joy you’ll never miss.
Thank You🙏
ah yes, I was wondering where this video was. thanks!
💗🙏💗 🙏💗🙏 Thankyou
I may have to buy that book
The only thing that is getting in the way is my social anxiety issue - when I'm about to meet a person I get very tense and worried; my own mind wanders into the future. Or when I see a person appearing in front of me, I get a nagging feeling in my stomach area and my heart rate increases exponentially. I allow the anxiety to be there, and I even feel deeper into it - I've been doing this for a long time but it seems that the triggers of my anxiety issue are still within my subconscious. What can I do to solve my social anxiety issue and be at ease with myself in social situations? Thank you.
I will paraphrase Rupert, but he says instead of being interested in the thoughts, be interested in being aware of the thought or situation. During the day when thoughts get going, I do not resist them, I just silently ask myself the question “Am I aware?” or “By what means am I aware of these thoughts?” it really works to disentangle the awareness from believing I am the thinker into I am the awareness, aware of this and all situations. Instead of saying “my” anxiety, consider looking to see who or what is having the anxiety, it’s not open, clear awareness. I hope this may help you. Try it. ❤️🙏🏻
thank you for this. i’m gonna buy this book!

what is the name of the book in French?
thank you!
Is there not an implicit receptivity to conditioning? Something in me rails at the seeming dismissal of this demonstrable effect. How, I wonder, are the abused, oppressed, persecuted to abide in peace and happiness when the entirety of their life experience is one of pain, injustice, and torture? It's true that landing on the rocks doesn't change the innate nature of a seed, but it really does affect (diminish, inhibit, remove) its capacity to realize its full potential, to flourish and grow and contribute to and interact meaningfully with all this life has to offer. Can an acorn revel in bliss never having had the happenstance opportunity to become a giant oak, knowing what might have been but wasn't?

It still bugs me….if happiness is essential to me then surely it is impossible that I can be unhappy! Saying that it is still there but obscured doesn’t seem to really make sense….it’s still there? Where? I’m happy and I don’t realise it? That doesn’t make sense to me…
And is it worth adding that when we go to sleep, we know we will wake up in the morning and everything will be more or less as we left it?
Who is it that is bugged? (for starters) Listen to the pointers. Be quiet and still. Ignore your thoughts.....
Time and space is suspended, sleep is over in a blink of an eye. We know when we are restless and don't have a good night sleep, we know time and space and that dam alarm clock will ring and having to face the next day.....tired. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
@@joajoajb what is it that knows or is aware of our experience?
I am
Love you Rupert but I must repeat: please stop taking a partisan stance on the war in Ukraine. You and Bernardo have both chosen to use Russian foreign policy and V. Putin himself as exemplary or embodiments of concepts such as 'evil'. This explicit participation on your part in an ongoing war (in my opinion a justified Russian military offensive) is disconcerting and disturbing beyond belief given your otherwise beautiful and gentle message. I assume that promoting violence is not at all your intention yet that is the effect of some of your your statements. I appreciate your perspectives on violence, cruelty even 'evil' but your choice of example is simply wrong. On my part I do, and will continue, to recognize and be curious about my emotional re-action to what I understand as your misunderstanding of geopolitics with regard to NATO etc. On your part without throwing away 'the perennial understanding' perhaps you could reconsider what you seem to believe are uncontroversial political perspectives? They are not, and your political opinions are, imo, disturbing(given that they contribute in a very practical sense to a political project which justifies enormous Western arm sales which are fuelling a hopeless war. Perhaps alienating an avowed ideologue such as myself is of little concern but surely alienating large sections(I suspect a large majority) of young Russian people is not your intention. We can't avoid, for the most part, being political beings and I hate telling someone to ignore their political intuitions yet in this case I can only see you as an example of the power of relentless propaganda on even exceptionally sensitive and observant minds. This is of course not the place for geopolitical debate but I will say one thing: this war did not begin in Feb 2022. We must date it to at least the time of the coup, 2014 and from there try and appreciate the subsequent Nazi capture of the Ukrainian state and, crucially, it's military...[I do appreciate that you don't discuss these issues in this video, but nonetheless you have and deserve to be challenged for it].
