How Do I Practice Self Enquiry?

- A woman is trying to understand the process of self enquiry (finding the one who is unhappy), she asks Rupert to explain how this works?
He clarifies his meaning and the process of self enquiry by using several great analogies,
"Now when I explore my experience, I find that if I go really to myself and discover what I am, and then I turn around again and look for the unhappiness, you can't find it any more. Therefore, the cause of the unhappiness was not the relationships, the situations or the activities, and this discovery of the cause of unhappiness gives us the hint as to where true happiness lies"

"It is the person you imagine yourself to be that suffers, not you. Dissolve it in awareness. It is merely a bundle of memories and habits." (Nisargadatta Maharaj)
❤❤
This sums up about 3000 years of spiritual teaching in the most succinct manner imaginable. Thank you Rupert.
Wow - powerful. Thanks for sharing Steve. Reminds me very much of The Untethered Soul by Michael Stinger
My pleasure Kathy. All the best, S.
Yes this is it
Ok.
This absolutely how i felt by the end of the video
I’m just gonna go ahead and listen to this everyday before going to work.
😆 Classic...!
You still listening? 😂
I have listened to this video so many times that I've lost count, but every time I feel as if it is the first time. This explanation is simply perfect. It's utterly beautiful. When you hear words of truth, illusion falls away, and suddenly you find yourself feeling happy, peaceful, centered, back home again.
That's all needed....listening again and again and again...until it settle down in our being itself
This might very well be one of the most, if not the most, significant and clarifying videos on non duality available.
The “unexplainable” is explained. What a gift to mankind.
So many other words from great teachers seem to fall into place now. I couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you, Rupert.

The more we know it, the more we fall in love with it, and eventually we move in with it. ~ Rupert Spira .... beautiful poetry
so so beautiful 💛
yes !! simply be the awareness in the background of all sensations, feelings, experience ... these all pass by in time but YOU NEVER DO... there in lies peace.... perfect peace...!!
@@larryritter5741
I can be the awareness of thoughts, feelings and perceptions.
But it is still MY thoughts, MY emotions and MY perceptions I am aware of. (Awareness is limited to my body and mind.)
When and how does this awareness appear to be infinite and eternal?
Wow. This is amazing. What I love about this guy is that he doesn't get all hippy and trippy. He just explain it very rationally, what he says is simple, and it ... Makes. Perfect. Sense!
Agreed!
OMG we are so lucky to live in a time where we can get access to people like this!! We can’t take this for granted…in the past someone might have travelled for days to find someone in a cave, just to find out you don’t speak the same language - This just popped up on my TH-cam feed lying in bed - BRILLIANT!
I love Rupert Spira he is one of the only genuine teachers out there for studying consciousness
Check out Actualized.org on youtube. He’s the one who goes the most in-depth.
Multorum Unum Then you are not serious about understanding. Which is fine. But if you truly have a desire for Truth, his videos will not be long enough for you.
@@chasetuttle2780 That guy is a psycho, a liar and only sell new age bullshit. How do you compare that piece of shit with Rupert, lmao.
The hub of the wheel doesn‘t move.
…
What a wise man !
A voice of an angel.
thats it rupert....you dont even have to have any other videos....just leave this! summed it all up in 10 minutes
I agree with you 100%. I've never heard it explained so clearly like this.....it tickled my inners. 😆
Are you alive?
Listened just now as I am feeling very depressed today… instantly changed my mood.. the I that I am …is not depressed..wow…. thank you Rupert..
🙂 The "I" that is You Never was, is or will be depressed.
The "I" that you Are does and will witness these subtle objects (thoughts, emotions, etc.), come and go. You can even place attention on You (the "I") when "stuck" with a persistent thought. It will minimize and dissipate. It's fun to try.
The "I" is a constant. Every thing else is a Variable.
I am is God
WOW! This goes a long way to clarifying the process of self-enquiry...which can seem so mysterious when reading Ramana and Nisargadatta. This is practical, down to earth, and accessible.
When you realise that the "I" is not who you are then every pain, every disappointment, every failure that happens to "I" does not affect you. When you start living this truth, you have achieved enlightenment.
✌🏽
i still dont understand it i want to learn more tho!
I am not reading this it reads all by itself because the word i does not exist
Yea but understanding this on a conceptual level isn’t enough.
@@kaitiakinewth439 read Raman Maharshi on "Who Am I?"
How beautifully said. You made my life. This video should be shown on all the television channels all over the world.
I know you posted this a long time ago but well said my friend. This is an amazing 13 minutes. If the aliens or whatever, LOL, come visit her, you know what I'm saying, I would like this video to represent the "beauty, truth, and potential" of us.. . . as well as Jeffrey Mishlove interview series with Ram Dass which is an incredible hour and a half of two humans being concious, sharing, listening, teaching. 🙏
Yes!!
Instead we get manipulation, lies and nonsense on the TV. We have to look inside.
This video is a gift. The most profound, wonderful, gloriously simple gift someone could give. Thank you Rupert
This dude is an amazing teacher. Wow. This is the mic drop of spiritual TH-cam videos. Mic drop, what!
I love the innocence of this questioner. Rupert, as always, is stellar.
This video makes me realize where true happiness and peace lies. It lies in the true consciousness, awareness.
It's a DISCOVERY, not an achievement... beautiful!
Thank you!
I love hearing the sound of her realizations! I bet her face was beatific as she grasped the ideas. This all illustrates the classroom maxim that, ''The only dumb question is the one not asked''. She had the courage to ask the question that (probably) most all those folks were asking themselves. And even if some had previously ''gotten'' the idea- we can all use a ''refresher'' exercise! The beauty of the clarity of this exchange keeps me coming back to this vid. again and again.
I too think this video is the ultimate meditation on self enquiry, awakening to self, and ending the tyranny of the separate self in one amazing 14 minute journey. Thank you
Rupert always looks like the feeling you get on vacation when you spent the day in the sun, take a nice shower, soak your body in after sun body lotion and put on wide, comfy, fresh clothes to meet up with your friends again. The personification of relaxation, calm and peace. I want to travel to one of his events this year.
Exactly 😂
Summarising all of rupert’s teachings:
When you ask yourself the question “am i aware”...you refer to an objective-quality less experience of being aware and a thought rises “yes”. If you stay with that experience after the thought (being aware of being aware),awareness gradually ,in time ,loses its limitations and the true nature of awareness will shine as it is .This process is called self abidance.
I is itself a thought ,what happens to your I when u sleep ? Even I comes and goes as you are not aware of I while sleeping .Hence I am ,I exist is the only thing you can say about yourself .when you ask who am I ? There's absolute silence and stillness. That's what you are ,that which cannot be defined .
You are aware of the absence, the mind can find a gap of no thought cause all it knows is thought-mind. In deep sleep there are no thoughts, there is a gap but only for the mind. Awareness know itself without an object, without thought.
The best explanation I have ever had
This man is a blessing. He removes the bullshit and straight to it.
The Woman questioner, has the most beautiful laugh, so very authentic
Wow, just wow...this is it. This is everything that a human being has to know. It's so simple. With this alone, you know everything there needs to be known to enjoy life.
BAM! I have NEVER heard it explained better than this! I was raised a Jehovah’s Witness and have never been taught to look within! At 63 years old, I feel like I’m only now understanding my wonderful being!
This video should be played at all schools of the world!! Thank you Rupert!! 🙏🆓
Upanishad put to practice by Rupert and exquisitely explained through his own experiences.
words cannot express the utmost deepest respect that i feel for such a wonderful non- duality teacher 💗🙏
Thankyou Rupert 💗
Absolutely!
I am in awe... I am thankful for these teachings and thankful to God for having me stumbled on these videos. Blessings to you sir, you are God sent!!
This is Byron Katie,Eckhart Tolle,Mooji,Sadhguru all together! Everyone of them teach us the same thing : " Reality is always kinder than you think." "It is never the situation that makes you unhappy,but your thoughts and feelings about it."
Doina M. we can look at our traumas through a new perspective, and can still have feelings about it.
I've shared this with all the people I love.What a gift you are.Love
No any one thought or feeling stays forever but just cuz one thought passes doesnt mean it's left, it's just changed form
As soon as he said "Into the one who is unhappy" ... That brought tears in my eyes...
Amazing amazing!! He is profound in knowledge.
The more I experience his descriptions the more profound my awareness becomes. Something is happening to me that I am unable to describe but I don’t need to because it’s what I have always yearned for.
You’ve found more peace ?
@@christopherestrada2474 indeed I have 🙌🏻
@@machoboyrandyandsavage3439 awesome!!
That’s a brilliant video!
The more people will find I, the more happiness will be in the world
That quarter hour of skillful pointing, was as precise as a laser. This is a gift of clarity and goes back into my ''favorites'' cache for some future re- savoring!
Just sheer bliss, bless you
This is the best and simplest explanation to finding out who we truly are. Richard is an absolute gift to humanity!
I watch and listen to this one video again and again. Thank you for doing it.
I must have forgotten who I really was. I am not a cluster of thoughts and feelings. I (am love eternally.) Well done Sir.
Truly a life changing video!!!
EXCELLENT EXCELLENT !!! Such a simple and easy to ynderstand explanation. Thank you Rupert.
Wow, I've been waiting for that explanation for 35 years!
Wow. Thank you. So grateful
amazing clarification.. once again thank you.
him and eckhart tolle have the same thoughts about life being conscious in this very moment
“he” and echart tolle...
Eckard Tolle is worth 15 million $ and is to busy going to the bank he intellectually understands but not in his heart. Try Ramana Maharshi that's who these people are referring to. Self Enquiry. Who am i. On you tube
I will offer a clear distinction for your consideration ... Life is not conscious, but is Consciousness Itself. The world is not conscious. Consciousness appears as a world. And .... I personally would not compare the two - Rupert and Ekhart, that is.
amara alban i heard about him these days and thought he is ilke tolle ... Are they different in some ways thank you
Thank you for the simplicity and clarity of this.
wow nailed it. made it so easy to understand. i only clicked about a year back with this and its been one of the happiest years in a very long time. i just stopped giving negative thoughts any time, quit moaning in my mind and focused on the good stuff. i was searching for happiness for a long while and it was along side me all the time, i just didn't find it for complaining and worrying. i found it in the end though ;)
Thank You Rupert Spira ! Love and Gratitude to you ! ❤️
This is one of Rupert's best videos...
Thank you so much Rupert. This video shed the last of my resistance. I am deep gratitude, love and Peace. Thank you so much.
Thanks for the upload, and thanks for making the video and sharing your experience Mr.Spira! Always happy to see videos about self-enquiry.
I love the way he explains things it makes perfect sense & brings clarity to my mistakes identities.
The " I am " realisation made simple...Brilliant
This video really knocked something loose in me. This is a huge turning point for me now. Thank you for posting such a useful video.
Thank you so much rupert spira, thank you, thank you, thanksss
the best explanation of self inquiry ever
Thank u. This explanation is SO CLEAR.
Amazingly extremely well explained. Thank you very much Rupert.
Thank you Rupert
Most enlightening and in the simplest form of speech. Thank You! Blessings! 🙏
OMG I had the same question. This is so beautifully explained. Never heard of Mr Rupert before. Subscribed. Thanks !
I was confused by poems and statements but what spira mentioned here is really summery of all of them in simple terms.i appreciate you
Someone FINALLY puts the whole mystery into words which make sense.
Thankyou so much for this Rupert
Awesome analysis of the whole process. Amazing self work!
Mr. Rupert, Halfway watching this, and it happened. THANK YOU!🤗❣
Beautiful simplicity - akin to a sweet Silence. Blessings
Such a wonderful and efficient guidance by Rupert Spira. Thank you!
Thanks you sir for changing my life I m 19 year old
I experience goose bumps at times listening to such clear pointing!
Rupert provides greater dimension to "As a man thinketh, so he is" from Proverbs. When we identify with thoughts, we are subject to unhappiness because, as he says, unhappiness comes from thoughts only and not from our true nature. It could be conversely stated, "As a man does not think, so he really is."
this explanation is so helpful when trying to pinpoint your emotions and try to change things.. thank you will try this x
wow....amazing clarity and logically explained all the spiritual search process...
Soooo good. Thank you Rupert.
One of the best talks i've heard in recent times.. Thank you Rupert Sipra🙏😊
This simple explanation is life-changing. Thank you Rupert.
Really...I felt the truth of it So clearly, wish to discover the "I" more deeply!...So practical aswell! Thank you!
Incredible. How simple it's. Thank you!
It is the same practice to "separate" your core from your thoughts and feelings and "empower" yourself to take control over your life experiences in the moment instead of allowing your thoughts and feelings to take over and control your life. This has been around for centuries! The "i" simply exists in the core and does not suffer from whatever thoughts and feelings we have passing by....we do not embody or hold on to anything...I like the way he explains it!
Wow this is so powerful... It took me a while to get my head around it, but it is actually so simple. Thanks a millions Rupert ❤
Couldn't have been explained better..the most lucid explanation I've ever come across..thank you so much
When I practice self-inquiry, I end up with the experience of infinite stillness that can’t move because it’s everywhere already. It’s me. Then I experience an rushing of this infinity put into motion. Things in motion are constantly moving, changing, and flowing, but the infinite stillness is never disturbed or affected. It’s like time and space don’t seem relevant anymore. I laugh my ass off and go off the charts emotionally. Now there’s a little glimmer in everything I experience like it’s almost funny. Like I know that behind it all, it’s all one and all this motion is just a dance or a play/playing. Then I wonder what key where playing in compared to other keys we can’t even sense. It’s impossible to wrap your mind around what is really meant when you say infinity. It’s not just beyond the edge of your senses. You’re just infinity being aware of itself. Self-inquiry is the only way I’ve found to actually realize it. To actually realize what I mean when I refer to me. You go from turning your awareness towards yourself and end up getting turned inside out. “Who am I” is the one question that takes care of all the other ones. It’s makes them irrelevant.
Brilliant and beautiful explanation, thank you!
Beautiful ,Our soul is existence , awareness & bliss only .
This is amazing.
Yes👍you have made things more clear. Helpful.
This is the one and only piece of the jigsaw puzzle that’s missing … every problem and every issue is based on ignorance or a big misunderstanding of ourselves
Thanks for this upload 🙏
Thank you so much sir for such a wonderful teaching
Perfect 🤩 Thank you so much Rupert 🤍🕊
Immensely grateful for the dawning of understanding that I am 🙏
Holy man!!!! What did I just watch.? This man is something out of a movie. I finally understand! All the years! Wow
¡Maravillosamente simple! Fantastico, gracias. Patricia
