Our thoughts are in consciousness and made entirely from it. When we feel negative emotions (I am sad etc) we can be fooled into identifying with, and becoming consumed by, these detached parts of consciousness. Yes, they are us but our true self is the vast ocean and these are just the ripples on the surface. We should never ignore or deny the dance that is happening on the surface but the truth can only be appreciated when viewed from the depths looking out. It is also good to remember that we are not in control of what bubbles up to the surface. Our past will shape this display and we should not feel pride or shame in what is there. By trying to hold on to or hide aspects of this we become distracted and entangled in a fruitless mission. Our only route to happiness is to sink into the deep waters of compassion and show love to all aspects of our self. (Just enjoy the ride!) It is by showing love to ourself that we are able to show boundless love to everyone. If you’re ever not feeling happy it is because you’ve become distracted by the ripples again. This is always it.

Thank you. I've been praying about this all day. For understanding the deep sadness that I was aware of but refused to identify as. It wasn't easy, the habit is to be drawn into the feeling. But I did not succumb. It is a practice.

I've heard you say Rupert "If there is anything beyond or outside of Consciousness, how could we even know it?" and that's the simplest and most genius argument I think for the only Consciousness model Abso thanks for the pointer about suffering being the price for Creation ❤ makes it easier to suffer I think
Yes. So it is consciousness/universal energy that can take on every form possible, and in this case sadness is how it experiences itself. From the standpoint of awareness all is equal so it does not care what form it takes. For us on the other hand taking on a negative form is actually insanity caused by ignorance. (it is worth to mention though that sadness, grief and so on can have it's place in our awareness under some circumstances, but we experience it way to often due to us being unconscious of what we are)
I normally find Rupert's work to be beautifully well said. I can't say that for this video. If everything is in consciousness and of consciousness then that includes the conflict and so is the turmoil. Therefore, there is technically no forgetting of itself. That there is no need for self-inquiry.
@@JohnSmith-ks5xw respectfully, I did get it. I've been listening to his work for years. I just think it's one of the poor videos that actually explains it
@@calvinrakotobe5583 this is not about the concessions. It for me didn't address the question and he was all over the map undermining his previous statement
@@innercompass9 The questioner believes that there is something called "suffering" (in other words, the forgetting or veiling of awareness), because she believes in the existence of something called "a thought". So Rupert take this fundamendal presumption - I am awareness but the body-mind can veiled myself - into account and shows her the third step of the non-dual teaching : there is only awareness (only the screen) so there is no need to repress, control or avoid thinking since it's only an expression of the infinite potential of awareness. Also the goal of non-dual teaching is to contradict every statement that is made till the mind is effortlessly and naturally brought to an end. In the realm of language or thought, there is only relative truth. Hence, we always have the possibility to contradict a statement that is spoken by a limited body-mind. Even the statement "I am" can be contradict. "I am" makes only sense in reference to what "I am not", hence it credits implicitly the existence of things in parallel with the Absolute. So words can never describe reality. That's why Ramana Maharshi always emphasized that the highest teaching is transmitted in silence. So really, we should not dissect every word that is puts forward in this teaching because don't forget that ultimately awareness cannot be described. Remember that the goal of the teaching is to be efficient, not to be precise. Has Rupert in this video be efficient in evoking the Absolute in the lady's experience? I think so. That's also why the transmission method favoured by the ancient sages was always spoken language. For if we begin to write down these non-dual teachings, we run the risk of seeing the emergence of religions and thus the accentuation of separation (hence the wars of religion), which is what actually happened 2-3 millennia ago. So I advise you to see Rupert's videos as piece of art. Look and listen from the Heart, not from the mind, and you will see that the transmission of the non-dual principle is really an art in itself : the art of evoking That which cannot be evoked, which is the true function of an artist.
What I needed to hear. I am having such a hard time for giving myself and not being sad for the way I treated my children when they were younger. I've made amends to them but it's still haunts me. I really need help!!!!
My friend when you come to understand that we are all messed up, you can forgive yourself. You mess up your children but who messed you up? Your parents? And who messed them up? Your grandparents? And so on, when does it stop? It doesn't in this world. All separate selves are messed up. Besides the world isn't reality. It's like the dream you had last night in your sleep. If you had dreamed you were a serial killer would you have turned yourself over to police when you woke in the morning? No of course not, it was only a dream and then you dreamed you woke up and were a bad mother. Be free, you are not who you think you are. You are so much more.
@@lindalangdon9406 thank you!!! I know intellectually this is true, I am bombarded with the ways I perpetuated family behaviors! I am sober 37 years and stopped so much, but my own fear and anger came out as yelling all the time!! I am in therapy and I listen to Rupert often! Ty again!!
Forgive yourself. When we know better we do better. You were on a lower level of understanding then, probably acting out of previous influences. Forgive yourself and just Love. Beginning with yourself.
Pointing creates seperation. A subject pointing to the object. Labelling things creates seperation. This is label and that is label. Everything is just as it is without any thoughts judgements or analysis. The whole picture you see with all the sensations in there raw form without labels opinions. Any sense of being a person looking at these sensations is just another appearance. Using language creates seperation. Look without language. There’s nothing you need to do to be. Even labelling it consciousness is an addition. Just the raw experience only without question or judgement
@@FreeFromDelusion Isn't your post also a pointing? And the statement of separation is yet another label. You also wrote "raw experience" but awakening/enlightenment, etc. is not yet another experience by the personal self/ego. Experience of what? And experienced by whom? Awareness doesn't need to awaken and in its infinite capacity is the sum of all experience. So enlightenment/awakening cannot be an experience was my point. It's just a comment on the limitations of language I suppose. I understand your comment but when you try to make the comment as you did, you fall into the very trap you're trying to avoid.
Consciousness everything-being itself. Reality is in consciousness' terms. Consciousness lends reality its being. Because consciousness is, so called reality is.
*CONSCIOUSNESS is neither what you believe it to be, nor desire it to be !* *Consciousness is the title of the "LINK" between "AWARENESS" ( "The Real Self" ) and the brain...*
Rupert is on treadmill with the King Lear/John Smith analogy. He says that consciousness sacrifices happiness for creation. Which is essentially verifying Buddhist claim : "To be is to suffer". you can all go home now.
Almost gave me a headache! Do these people ever stop analysing and find a simple path that works and they trust? Brother Lawrence comes to mind, or in my case riding my motorbike or simply speaking in tongues for a period. They need to go and do something physical and let their mind stop and then see the changes and learn from their own experience.
Awareness: witness, container and substance of the thought. Consciousness: sacrifices its happiness for the sake of creation. (Jesus: sacrificed himself for our sins.)
What confuses me is that Rupert says the following two things when describing the nature of reality which to me seem quite different: 1. The universe is God’s dream (Mary/Jane, consciousness/its activity), Josh Smith/King Leer) - this infers duality between observer and the observed, although of course the observed is made of the observer. 2. Consciousness vibrates within itself and localises itself as POVs for itself to experience itself. And when consciousness observes itself through a PoV, it appears as a multiplicity and diversity of objects (orange tinted glasses). This is non-dual. Which one is correct? Is the field of consciousness vibrating within itself and forming POVs to observe itself through or is the mind of God dreaming the universe within itself? Basically, are we experiencing ourself (infinite consciousness) or are we experiencing our dream?
Ah! The infinity that stretches between “I am sad (and that’s all that I am)” and “I am sad (along with a vast array of other predicates)” … an infinity that can be spanned only by deliberately considering the infinite spaciousnesses within which either thought might be embedded.
Kashmir Shaivism is one of the oldest schools of non duality where Shiva is the infinite consciousness(IC) Rupert talks about. Shiva is the creator who has created everything, only to experience everything. But non duality can make life depressing and meaningless and the fact remains that no one really knows 'what is'. We all just try to see it in our own way, try to comprehend it, reason it and believe. The only way is through self inquiry and to be true to that, you have to leave this material world behind. And if one has come to this world to leave it behind... why come here at all? Cause Shiva /IC has only created everything so everything can be experienced... and if we all become the same, then how will Shiva experience the diversity in creation? It is not planned such, it is not planned at all... man/ego/Rupert can try... but it's incomprehensible!
okay Shiva, funny arguments you have. But really, everyone must go home some day. For some, it is early, for some, later. Everything leads to liberation eventually.
awareness take the form of thought and forget itself, then assume itself as thought but ultimately it can only be awareness. We take the form of partial experience and forget we as awareness never deviate from awareness as it is.
Try to look around for awareness. Where is it? I made up a game by which you can become aware what consciousness is exactly and where it is. If you want, i can tell you how to do it
Consciousness, is Nothing in itself, Consciousness can Only be property of Living Beings. Intelligence is Part of our Consciousness, what is called AI, is Programmed Consciousness, a Book, is also programmed Consciousness, Frozen Memory. Intuition made Rupert aware of being Eternal, but his 'non-dual' obsession, is lack of Intelligence. The Basic analysis of X0, is X1, X2, and X3, X2, is our Consciousness.
Es 7na pena que Rupert hable tan deprisa en algunos de los momentos en que dice cosas tan importantes. No da tiempo a digerir tan elevado contenido. Un saludo
Yes, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Father being God (or infinite awareness) the Son being the physical universe (including humanity) and the Holy Spirit being the universal consciousness which links the two.
The internet was created for these kinds of discussions. Consciousness networking with other consciousnesses and to celebrate the diversity of forms of infinite awareness.
So “suffering on the inside and conflict on the outside” is a creation of infinite consciousness to leave “suffering” as a “trace of itself in the finite mind, indicating to the finite mind where to go to regain its original happiness” Why this circuitous path that has brought upon we finite minds or localized manifestations of consciousness such as humanity such incredible pain and suffering throughout our history? Why were the finite minds or localized manifestations of consciousness called humanity “selected” or “purposed” by infinite consciousness to follow this path? The finite mind or localized manifestation of consciousness that is “I” certainly did not choose this path. In an infinite consciousness, there has to be infinite paths for a finite mind or localized manifestation to trace its way back to regain its original happiness that is infinitely less painful and sorrowful that the path that humanity has had “visited” or “purposed” on it. The efforts of those teachers trying to help finite minds on this planet gain enlightenment of this understanding seems to have been woefully inadequate and or fallen on deaf ears so that we continue to see suffering and conflict around us with no respite or hope of finding the way back to that “mythical “ original happiness. Infinite consciousness seems to be a cold heartless master indeed or maybe in the multiverse with 10^500 universes that have arisen , as postulated by String Theory anyway , out of infinite consciousness, we might be unfortunate enough to be manifested in one universe or on one world in one universe where the dismal path humanity is on is purposed to experience pain, suffering and conflict to inform the infinite in a way the infinite cannot itself. Maybe all we can hope for is after gaining the sorrowful experiences purposed for those in this manifestation, when we return to the whole when this material existence ends, our next conscious manifestation as finite minds features a path that leads with less pain, suffering and conflict back to that original happiness
The world is not REAL. It is a dream from which NOBODY wakes up except the dreamer, i.e. consciousness. When a gold brcelet or ring is melted, it is still the same gold unaffected by the ring or brecelet it was once formed as. There is no gold AND ring, just gold. That which never existed, never comes to be real and that which exsit never becomes unreal.

I've heard you say Rupert "If there is anything beyond or outside of Consciousness, how could we even know it?" and that's the simplest and most genius argument I think for the only Consciousness model
Abso thanks for the pointer about suffering being the price for Creation ❤ makes it easier to suffer I think
Thank you. Love and blessings to everyone.💗🙏
The best explanation. Rupert is the best. ❤❤❤
Beautifully explained :-)
Yes. So it is consciousness/universal energy that can take on every form possible, and in this case sadness is how it experiences itself. From the standpoint of awareness all is equal so it does not care what form it takes. For us on the other hand taking on a negative form is actually insanity caused by ignorance. (it is worth to mention though that sadness, grief and so on can have it's place in our awareness under some circumstances, but we experience it way to often due to us being unconscious of what we are)
Good analogy
Female speaker is intimidating.
Well played

I normally find Rupert's work to be beautifully well said. I can't say that for this video. If everything is in consciousness and of consciousness then that includes the conflict and so is the turmoil. Therefore, there is technically no forgetting of itself. That there is no need for self-inquiry.
I'm sorry you didn't get it.
@@JohnSmith-ks5xw respectfully, I did get it. I've been listening to his work for years. I just think it's one of the poor videos that actually explains it
@@innercompass9 Rupert always makes compassionate concession to the questioner. So the answer adapts to the level of the question.
@@calvinrakotobe5583 this is not about the concessions. It for me didn't address the question and he was all over the map undermining his previous statement
@@innercompass9 The questioner believes that there is something called "suffering" (in other words, the forgetting or veiling of awareness), because she believes in the existence of something called "a thought". So Rupert take this fundamendal presumption - I am awareness but the body-mind can veiled myself - into account and shows her the third step of the non-dual teaching : there is only awareness (only the screen) so there is no need to repress, control or avoid thinking since it's only an expression of the infinite potential of awareness. Also the goal of non-dual teaching is to contradict every statement that is made till the mind is effortlessly and naturally brought to an end. In the realm of language or thought, there is only relative truth. Hence, we always have the possibility to contradict a statement that is spoken by a limited body-mind. Even the statement "I am" can be contradict. "I am" makes only sense in reference to what "I am not", hence it credits implicitly the existence of things in parallel with the Absolute. So words can never describe reality. That's why Ramana Maharshi always emphasized that the highest teaching is transmitted in silence.
So really, we should not dissect every word that is puts forward in this teaching because don't forget that ultimately awareness cannot be described. Remember that the goal of the teaching is to be efficient, not to be precise. Has Rupert in this video be efficient in evoking the Absolute in the lady's experience? I think so.
That's also why the transmission method favoured by the ancient sages was always spoken language. For if we begin to write down these non-dual teachings, we run the risk of seeing the emergence of religions and thus the accentuation of separation (hence the wars of religion), which is what actually happened 2-3 millennia ago. So I advise you to see Rupert's videos as piece of art. Look and listen from the Heart, not from the mind, and you will see that the transmission of the non-dual principle is really an art in itself : the art of evoking That which cannot be evoked, which is the true function of an artist.
Great talk.
that was quite an thorough explanation by Rupert .....amazing stuff !!!
Thank you SIR❤we are fortunate to experience the greatness of LORD BUDDHA through your kind dissertation of awareness 🙏
and who are YOU referring to when YOU speak of lord buddha?

How beautiful!
What I needed to hear. I am having such a hard time for giving myself and not being sad for the way I treated my children when they were younger. I've made amends to them but it's still haunts me. I really need help!!!!
My friend when you come to understand that we are all messed up, you can forgive yourself. You mess up your children but who messed you up? Your parents? And who messed them up? Your grandparents? And so on, when does it stop? It doesn't in this world. All separate selves are messed up. Besides the world isn't reality. It's like the dream you had last night in your sleep. If you had dreamed you were a serial killer would you have turned yourself over to police when you woke in the morning? No of course not, it was only a dream and then you dreamed you woke up and were a bad mother. Be free, you are not who you think you are. You are so much more.
@@lindalangdon9406 thank you!!! I know intellectually this is true, I am bombarded with the ways I perpetuated family behaviors! I am sober 37 years and stopped so much, but my own fear and anger came out as yelling all the time!! I am in therapy and I listen to Rupert often! Ty again!!
Forgive yourself. When we know better we do better. You were on a lower level of understanding then, probably acting out of previous influences. Forgive yourself and just Love. Beginning with yourself.
Good question and explanation
Thank you!
Pointing creates seperation. A subject pointing to the object. Labelling things creates seperation. This is label and that is label. Everything is just as it is without any thoughts judgements or analysis. The whole picture you see with all the sensations in there raw form without labels opinions. Any sense of being a person looking at these sensations is just another appearance. Using language creates seperation. Look without language. There’s nothing you need to do to be. Even labelling it consciousness is an addition. Just the raw experience only without question or judgement

True, but you just did what you said one shouldn't do. "Experience" is not "just is".
@@RamSamudrala can you expand on this for clarity
@@FreeFromDelusion Isn't your post also a pointing? And the statement of separation is yet another label.
You also wrote "raw experience" but awakening/enlightenment, etc. is not yet another experience by the personal self/ego. Experience of what? And experienced by whom? Awareness doesn't need to awaken and in its infinite capacity is the sum of all experience. So enlightenment/awakening cannot be an experience was my point.
It's just a comment on the limitations of language I suppose. I understand your comment but when you try to make the comment as you did, you fall into the very trap you're trying to avoid.
@@RamSamudrala Thankyou brother
Brilliant question
Beautiful ❤
Thank you all 🥰😘
Exactly!!!
absolutely brilliant - thank you so much
Consciousness everything-being itself. Reality is in consciousness' terms. Consciousness lends reality its being. Because consciousness is, so called reality is.

*CONSCIOUSNESS is neither what you believe it to be, nor desire it to be !*
*Consciousness is the title of the "LINK" between "AWARENESS" ( "The Real Self" ) and the brain...*

9:00 True happiness is sacrificed when consciousness, which is infinite, attaches itself to a construct it has created, such as I am sad.
Wow rupert.
he speaks with such conviction... as if he knows...
The “I am” is outside of the physical experience.
its all about soul/spirit....the divine Self...
Rupert is on treadmill with the King Lear/John Smith analogy. He says that consciousness sacrifices happiness for creation. Which is essentially verifying Buddhist claim : "To be is to suffer". you can all go home now.
Being is all and knows Itself completely … not conceptually. ❤
THANK YOU VERY MUCH💝💖❤🩹
Almost gave me a headache! Do these people ever stop analysing and find a simple path that works and they trust? Brother Lawrence comes to mind, or in my case riding my motorbike or simply speaking in tongues for a period. They need to go and do something physical and let their mind stop and then see the changes and learn from their own experience.
A lot of non dualists stuck in the who am I, analytical enquiry.
Different strokes.
It's usually events that happen to you that make you sad or happy.
When you are awaked everything become playful
Why use the terms “separate self” and “awareness”. Rather use terms “temporary self” and “eternal self”
Michael James said the actions only have the results that are good for us as Bagavan wants to happen.
Awareness: witness, container and substance of the thought.
Consciousness: sacrifices its happiness for the sake of creation.
(Jesus: sacrificed himself for our sins.)
oooh i like that
What confuses me is that Rupert says the following two things when describing the nature of reality which to me seem quite different:
1. The universe is God’s dream (Mary/Jane, consciousness/its activity), Josh Smith/King Leer) - this infers duality between observer and the observed, although of course the observed is made of the observer.
2. Consciousness vibrates within itself and localises itself as POVs for itself to experience itself. And when consciousness observes itself through a PoV, it appears as a multiplicity and diversity of objects (orange tinted glasses). This is non-dual.
Which one is correct? Is the field of consciousness vibrating within itself and forming POVs to observe itself through or is the mind of God dreaming the universe within itself? Basically, are we experiencing ourself (infinite consciousness) or are we experiencing our dream?
In daily life we experience the dream as real. When we awake, there no longer is daily life. We are the one, Brahman, only.
I do enjoy Rupert but found my head spinning out today!...King Leer and Sam helped at bit though ...😂
Imagine a retreat on a council estate, bet most of these people wouldn’t turn up.
Actually, of course, Will is prior to awareness. You are aware _of_ Will.
Ah! The infinity that stretches between “I am sad (and that’s all that I am)” and “I am sad (along with a vast array of other predicates)” … an infinity that can be spanned only by deliberately considering the infinite spaciousnesses within which either thought might be embedded.
What was the answer? Is it consciousness which identify with thought?
what does 'consciousness has no choice' mean
Kashmir Shaivism is one of the oldest schools of non duality where Shiva is the infinite consciousness(IC) Rupert talks about. Shiva is the creator who has created everything, only to experience everything. But non duality can make life depressing and meaningless and the fact remains that no one really knows 'what is'. We all just try to see it in our own way, try to comprehend it, reason it and believe. The only way is through self inquiry and to be true to that, you have to leave this material world behind. And if one has come to this world to leave it behind... why come here at all? Cause Shiva /IC has only created everything so everything can be experienced... and if we all become the same, then how will Shiva experience the diversity in creation? It is not planned such, it is not planned at all... man/ego/Rupert can try... but it's incomprehensible!
okay Shiva, funny arguments you have. But really, everyone must go home some day. For some, it is early, for some, later. Everything leads to liberation eventually.
Shiva is not to be confused with the popular Hindu god. Shiva is just a name for all there is... Infinite consciousness.
i didn't imply that it wasn't
Can someone explain? I don't understand how thoughts are awareness.
Because ultimately that's all there is.
What else could thought be other than awareness when awareness is all that is. Everything is consciousness
If I understand correctly, thoughts are not awareness. Awareness is thought. 😀
awareness take the form of thought and forget itself, then assume itself as thought but ultimately it can only be awareness. We take the form of partial experience and forget we as awareness never deviate from awareness as it is.
Try to look around for awareness. Where is it? I made up a game by which you can become aware what consciousness is exactly and where it is. If you want, i can tell you how to do it
Consciousness, is Nothing in itself,
Consciousness can Only be property
of Living Beings.
Intelligence is Part of our Consciousness,
what is called AI, is Programmed Consciousness,
a Book, is also programmed Consciousness,
Frozen Memory.
Intuition made Rupert aware of being Eternal,
but his 'non-dual' obsession, is lack of Intelligence.
The Basic analysis of X0, is X1, X2, and X3,
X2, is our Consciousness.

This sounds a lot like when the Trinity is explained in many ways.
Yes, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Father being God (or infinite awareness) the Son being the physical universe (including humanity) and the Holy Spirit being the universal consciousness which links the two.
The internet was created for these kinds of discussions. Consciousness networking with other consciousnesses and to celebrate the diversity of forms of infinite awareness.
So “suffering on the inside and conflict on the outside” is a creation of infinite consciousness to leave “suffering” as a “trace of itself in the finite mind, indicating to the finite mind where to go to regain its original happiness”
Why this circuitous path that has brought upon we finite minds or localized manifestations of consciousness such as humanity such incredible pain and suffering throughout our history?
Why were the finite minds or localized manifestations of consciousness called humanity “selected” or “purposed” by infinite consciousness to follow this path?
The finite mind or localized manifestation of consciousness that is “I” certainly did not choose this path. In an infinite consciousness, there has to be infinite paths for a finite mind or localized manifestation to trace its way back to regain its original happiness that is infinitely less painful and sorrowful that the path that humanity has had “visited” or “purposed” on it.
The efforts of those teachers trying to help finite minds on this planet gain enlightenment of this understanding seems to have been woefully inadequate and or fallen on deaf ears so that we continue to see suffering and conflict around us with no respite or hope of finding the way back to that “mythical “ original happiness.
Infinite consciousness seems to be a cold heartless master indeed or maybe in the multiverse with 10^500 universes that have arisen , as postulated by String Theory anyway , out of infinite consciousness, we might be unfortunate enough to be manifested in one universe or on one world in one universe where the dismal path humanity is on is purposed to experience pain, suffering and conflict to inform the infinite in a way the infinite cannot itself.
Maybe all we can hope for is after gaining the sorrowful experiences purposed for those in this manifestation, when we return to the whole when this material existence ends, our next conscious manifestation as finite minds features a path that leads with less pain, suffering and conflict back to that original happiness
The world is not REAL. It is a dream from which NOBODY wakes up except the dreamer, i.e. consciousness. When a gold brcelet or ring is melted, it is still the same gold unaffected by the ring or brecelet it was once formed as. There is no gold AND ring, just gold. That which never existed, never comes to be real and that which exsit never becomes unreal.
But why would consciousness merge into bad and suffer!
It's all a dream of consciousness. Consciousness itself doesn't suffer.

Nothing that exist.
Not a good place to end the talk..more careful explanation needed.
hide and seek...
Kinda need consciouness to even make the claim.
disentangleberry spira, please stop dyeing your hair. ...look at it. We do. Slow down and ..to hear yourself talk. you were non egoic, ..long ago
When will someone challenge the cost of these retreats he has. Charging to get into heaven. All wrong. He quotes the mystics from the past, no way would they be doing this. How about funding the cost from all the money he makes elsewhere.?
These extracts from his retreats are free, free to hear from anywhere around the world. 99% of the questions asked by participants are my questions. I don't have to spend time or money from Australia to get these gems 💎💎💎 of wisdom. (No advertising on here.) We are in heaven here within awareness/God/consciousness. ❤❤❤ Direct path to God.
He has a right to make a living. No-one is forced to go on retreats.
