How Can I Experience Everything as One, Even Objects?

- How can I feel and experience everything as one, or see God's presence in everything? The woman who asks this can feel the being in herself, but asks how can she also see it in animals and even objects like a pen? Rupert guides the woman to experiencing the feeling of oneness with everyone and everything.
The idea that our being is finite is just a belief. And this belief - that we are individual, separate beings - is what causes all the pain, suffering, hostility and judgement in the world.
Seeing the unity of being in all people, animals and objects, or one infinite being, is the understanding that can change the world.
This clip is taken from one of Rupert's Online Retreats at Home from 6-10 November, 2020.

I have never known anyone be able to explain such deep concepts so clearly and succinctly as Rupert. Truly great
Indeed.
For nearly 40 some years I bathed regularly; and then I was Grace fully introduced to Rupert. At that point realisation of the nature of our being was recognised.
What a blessing to have such a being streaming to every corner of this world, accessible to nearly every single person, through techno magic. Hallelujah..
I've listened to Shinzen Young, Adyashanti, Eckhart Tolle, Mooji, Alan Wallace, Jack Kornfield, Pema Chodron etc. I think Rupert is the best of any teacher I've found at explaining enlightenment and its qualities and benefits.
@@squamish4244totally agreed
We share our being with everyone and everything
Adyashanti has a good thought exercise. What do you think is more you: your finger or the sun? Can you live without your finger? Can you live without the sun? So which is more you?
Nice
Love that!❤️
Cool…
Sun and finger only come to support us. They are not us.
@@Manofvalue525 stop eating and see how much of the sun isn’t you. The sun grows the food that sustains you. It is all connected. Matter and consciousness are connected.
I sense that this recognition of our shared being is the key to our freedom because then you cannot be against anyone or anything. Thank you Rupert
Even if a lion wants to kill you?
When I heard this, I felt great peace and joy all over my mind and body. Thanks a lot for enlightening us.
Trying not to be in awe at the synchronicities in life (as this would place me in duality) but this video, posted an hour ago, answers perfectly nearly all the questions I’ve been struggling with the last couple of days; particularly this morning. Thank you!
Why would being in awe of any aspect of God's infinite being something to avoid? It is all awe inspiring. Seems like the natural response, being unattached doesn't mean we can't absolutely love and cherish every moment of the endless gifts that unfold before us.
@@ThunderTitan007 Perhaps awe is the other side of gain and both a flavor, filter, onion skin or mask for the awareness to engage with or not. I'm speculating but if a baby laying on their side sees these two ways then that is where it starts. Laying there the baby perceives two massive forces of light and gravity, and identifies with the crib bar as the connection (laying on their side looking sideways) and that horizon connection being comforting to them, something to identify with.
The other perception of being held upright and the gain from triangulating objects on a horizon, like a face reinforces objects in triangles, nipples and mouth triangle etc, basically joining objects with sticks of motion, for gain. These two perceptions (awe/comfort, and gain) seem like part of the finite, evolutionary growth response and so it depends on what you want to do, how far on that road to travel. Like not understanding one's own hunger feeling, just obeying/indulging in these things can impede one's freedom. Not sure if this is right though, cheers.
@@projectmalus Ahh I see what you are saying, but I feel you misunderstood me. To be embodied or to be formed is to be divinity expressing an aspect of the infinite in finite form. Like a flower blooming or the waves in the water bobbing back and forth, There is no end to these motions and there is no pathway to be stuck on or travel down. They are already perfect and complete aspects of infinite awareness. It seems to me at this point in the unfolding of humanity we like to complicate our experience with endless thought forms and mind loops because this is the aspect of God's being that is being gifted to us at this time. Which is ultimately beautiful, that is why I even make the effort to type all this. But in the ultimate reality, our cups are already filled to the brim with the purest, clearest spring water, we can either stand and ponder how to drink or, we can simply drink and get all the enlightening nourishment that it contains within it.
@@ThunderTitan007 Nothing wrong feeling love and wonderment with all. I feel that. But being in awe that synchronicity happens, for me anyway, suggests I stand apart from that which made it happen, and sets me up to not accept or expect it to happen all the time. No right or wrong here; just my way of looking at it.
@@brettneuberger6466 I get what you mean 🙏🏿
Live your life moment by moment as an expression of that understanding
The Totality of Existence EXISTS for only ONE reason: to THANK YOU for REMEMBERING and RECOGNIZING Who you REALLY are. All we need to do to enjoy THE Existential Ecstasy HERE and NOW is to say, from the depths of our hearts, THANKS TO YOU!
All my gratitude to you dear Rupert for sharing your profound and valuable insights and understanding all these years!! And thank all of you for the pointed questions enabling these answers for the rest of us!! Sending all of you my love and the bright light of sunny Athens in Greece🙏💜
We are one consciousness. The consciousness in me and the consciousness in everyone are the same. We came from this divine energy we call One consciousness. The same energy that beats my heart and sustain my body Is the same divine energy that beats your heart and keep you alive.
When you identify yourself as consciousness ,awareness or
presence ( you can call Self or God presence ). You will start seeing everything as Consciousness and you will intuitively feel in your soul that everything is part and essence of this divine consciousness in everyone and everything. May all Beings realize this and experience this wonderful and beautiful creation that you created. ❤ The dance of life in front of your own consciousness playing as you and you are playing as others.
I honor this spark in you. Love and Light. 🙏❤
Is this your actual experience? Or just a nice concept to make yourself feel a bit better?
You can go a step further and see that there aren't ever bodies with hearts in them. You can recognize that there literally is no matter, and so, no organized matter. You can go further and see that all that appears as your body/mind or an other's is made only of knowing. The borders and boundaries of any body/mind are illusory because there literally is nothing objective. All there is to any perception or sensation is the knowing (of it).
@@sandycarter5300 I hear what you're what saying but I do think language can be very limiting when talking about these topics. All that there is knowing? What even is knowing? Do we or can we actually know anything? Or is our knowledge or knowing limited to the confines of language?
Obviously we are something more than meets the eye, then this limited body. But that does not mean we are everything. That is nonsense. We are obviously parts not the whole. And that is eternal fact, becouse in absolute sense there is no future or past so no question of mergin or division. Or in other words, we are part of a God not a God. And since you are cognizant entity, He is also cognizant entity.
No there are different consciousness that all exist in the same reality. There are very real individual selves made in the image and likeness of God. I can prove it. If yours and my consciousness are the same then can you experience what I am experiencing or can I experience what you are experiencing? Of course you can't. Then there's individual will and intention. Am I responsible for the choices you make or are you responsible for the choices I make? Again no. Don't get duped into believing this Eastern Mysticism. If you believe you aren't a self the moral accountability, personal responsibility and individual creativity goes out the window. God made everyone unique and that's a wonderful thing. Yes there is unity and interconnections between us all, but there is also real differences between individual souls. God didn't make every living thing the same. Rupert is simply mistaken to say if I believe I'm separate to another I will be cruel. In order to love you need a beloved, otherwise it's self love. Actually believing there is no self causes cruelty because there is no personal responsibility and moral accountability if there is no real self to be responsible. If I'm just a conscious observer and nothing more then thoughts and actions are just happening, good or cruel and there is no I that's responsible for how I treat others. Plus God can easily create different persons and imbue them with the ability to love other selves and connect with them. i mean why wouldn't he able to do that, rather than just dividing up his consciousness into the illusion of billions of selves and being both kind and cruel to himself due to an illusion he created. God isn't that sinful. If one believes we are all one and we are all God then that means Hitler was God and God is capable of evil. If ultimate reality can divide its consciousness up and be evil to itself the ultimate reality is inherently evil. God is God and we are not him. He is perfect and does no evil. He is the foundation of our lives; we are not essential parts of his.
That was an incredible moment of clarity. Those Q/A videos are a true gift to the world, thank you very much Rupert.
Rest in your heart ❤️ that’s where we can access our being and truly know that we are one. Thank you Rupert & Natalie for this beautiful experience 🙏🏻💖

…..*bathed regularly in advaita tradition.
This question to Rupert is being asked by many including myself. Only now I have an answer. Brilliantly explained. This should help many many others who are following this path . Thanks for the question and the answer.
Undoubtedly ,a lovable personality , a true discipline of a great saint Shri Nisargadatta Maharaj .We , all living as well as the non living combined together , represent the universal consciousness . This is not a theory but seen by all those in deep samadhi when they experience the entire universe emanating from their own bodies .
We beleive that we are seperate because we think we are.....we realize we are infinite when we Know we are.
That's good ,I will remember that
No one knows they are infinite
Ok, good for you! Bootsd
Beautiful
Show me the dimensions to consciousness/awareness?
This more or less completely answers what I would have wanted to ask about the tragedy unfolding at this time. But it also provides a lot of room for optimism. As more and more people discover this truth, many of our current problems sort of disappear. War, exploitation, fear, insecurity, and the hostility which result, greed - all of these simply fall away, becoming obsolete concepts. The paradigm of total objectivity will have been fun while it lasted 🧐
It is my understanding that God can be defined as "All that is", including You, a pen, the space between objects, the computer screen, etc.
🙏 Love and Light 💚
Are you you have a choice, pen don't? Every one of us can chose but pen and scree not.
I must let every one know, the screen and space analogy is meaning less, because, screen washout movie and space without you and me or object doesn't mean any thing. Be wise think carefully you will know we are not one every one of us responsible for our actions.
Read it many time s you will know. for Thanks for your comment.
You put it beautifully. Thank you.
@@selflesswill___ Dif-tor heh smusma 🖖
It's not that God is a pen and a computer, etc. Those are concepts/ mental impressions that arise with the belief in subject/object. They have no actual independent existence. In fact, they conceal the perfect indivisibility of divine Mind, in which there is no time or space, no here or there, no this or that. All seeming identities are concepts only. They are the data that arises with the belief in objectivity. God = the perfect indivisibility of infinite Mind, which knows nothing finite; which knows no opposites.
That being so precious is Rupert! 🙏😪💕
Absolute Bliss, to move beyond understanding intellectually, and enter into "Knowing." To know that "being," is the shared element between everything that exists. With that knowing, suddenly the feeling of LOVE, which was always there but hidden from view.
Really touching, moving. Thanks Rupert!!
So easily and beautifully put. I wonder if we would have understood this before if most of Rupert's followers were not aware of the nature of our own being first. "My father and I are one."
We don't have a civilized society. Which indicates where awareness is at in being aware of being.
Such a beautiful talk. May we all live this truth. 🙏🌹
Brilliant indeed . was a treat to listen as always .
This is fantastic. The woman has made me understand what has been my major problem. It was as if I asked the question!
Yep. Same.
Thank you very much Guru Rupert

Ozgur Senturk: thank you for sharing those wonderful wisdom sayings from the different traditions, which are all stressing Oneness! That the Beloved and I (and everyone, everything) are One, is comforting and encouraging for me, as I continue on my spiritual journey. Be blessed!
@@carlfigueiredo2095 unfortunately "you" don't have a spiritual journey! How come you can have a journey if it's only the Self/brahman/God/Allah? I mean where you gonna go? What path will you take? How you or your soul gonna ascend or evolve? You are already that which you are seeking. "You" are an eternal being, never born and will never die! It's not a journey, it's just a realization. And after that realization it's not "your" journey anymore🤗😍❤🙏
@@ozgursenturk11-11 how would explain this then please, i we dont have a spiritual journey. I totally agree by being one with everything but when i am sick (cold, flue) is so challenging to be that essence and recognise it. Or when we are in so much physical pain. Does this happen to you also?
@@robertdermaku1 when "you" are not realizing that "everything is one" and you feel like you are a separate entity/being having a pain at that time what's happening is that the one essence of life itself experiencing life in your body/mind/consciousness as a someone who thinks he is a separate entity/being having pain. See, even that moment if you can stay with the truth which is "there is only God/brahman then "you" have no problem/pain/depression because that oneness or life itself appearing as pain in your body/mind/consciousness. So you become the "observer" and you can live your whole life in that meditative state as an observer but if you can't live your life like that then still no problem because "you" can not escape or get out of the truth! Whatever "you" do it's the life doing it by/with/through you. There is no doer but only brahman/God❤🙏🤗
I had a dream. I was talking to God. I was lost ,depressed and cried out to him to help me.In my dream i was walking on the street jumping around like a child. He spoke to me with a ferm and gentle voice. He told me "I can't help you because we never meet "I understood what he meant.That I was too attached to the World. "You will not find me until you will see Me in every human being ".I woke up trying desperately to not forget what he told me. I am still struggling, but I try every day to see things from a different perspective. That all is good and all is God.
Look up Rupert's "time and objects are co created." Amazing.
This is perfect as Natalie says. All my love to everyone and everything, including myself 💕💕💕💕💕💕
Wonderful Rupert 🙏❤️ stay aware of who you really are.
Amazing 😌 Blessings 💜 again Rupert and many Thanks again
I just feel so deeply now what the implications are with the war in Ukraine going on, but just any war or fight or act of unkindness is the result of one belief, one misunderstanding and how much suffering it creates. It makes my heart weep.
Perfect explanation, my gratitude and appreciation to you Rupert, you did explain perfectly thank you for that.
Thank you for the sharing of Love "Rupert". Blessings and Love to All.
I appreciate this pointing very much.
I see how much I haven’t allowed this seeing.
There has been an inner rebellion against it.
I allowed the separation that I believed was experienced since childhood to permeate most experiences.
TY🙏
Merry Christmas to you and your Family
This is why we should all be vegan like Rupert. Animals are sentient beings with feelings who move away from pain and are scared of death...just like us. We have options to choose to not contribute to animal suffering, there's no worthy excuse to justify killing a sentient being for 15 minutes of sensory pleasure.
Why do you give an animal more respect than a plant when deciding what to eat? You don't know with certainty that plants don't experience pain. Addionally, if everything is part of the same being, why do you make any distinction between plants and animals?
Thank you Rupert, your explanation was perfect appreciate that.
So spot in for where I am , thank you for the questions and answers 🙏
Thank you Rupert
Listening to this beautiful words is something. But reaching that recognition is something else.
I still cannot find my self as an infinite being.
@Chase isn’t that another belief?
@Chase You say avoid all teachers, and then you come here give people teaching.. What a hypocrisy.. So then we should avoid you too also?
@Khosro Khatibi There are lots of beautiful meditations of Rupert here on YT. They are experiential, I highly recommend them to you.
Powerful ❤…do unto all things as you would have done to you…a golden rule that somehow is still being overlooked by so many…however, I trust that this is changing in this new age of awareness 🙏
Thank you Master! In fact, there can't be another way, the truth is advaita...
Rupert, thank you.
It has to come from inside, we can't impose.
God is not a person, finite, it is beyond, a subtle awareness, exact word in the Vedas is Bhodham. 🙏🌳
so you are person but God is not? That means you are more then God?
Thank you for the great question and answer!!!! 🙏
The whole "stick with your experience" is totally what Phenomenology is all about.
Thank you very grateful
To remember and recognize who l am I tell everyone and everything the following: I am another you.
I really like this Juan❣💝
i like that “shared property” pointer. strong stuff!!
Each of us is the light of the world and by joining our minds in this light we proclaim the kingdom of God together 🌞🌞
“Kingdom” is a rather abrahamic terminology.
Basically we are everything that surrounds us. And not the body like we have been conditioned to believe since birth. Great find
How do you really know this experientially and not just a belief from spiritual leaders and spiritual books
@@yahzidjohnson3370 Prior to any experience, you are the awareness that witnesses it. Even though some experiences can help, you're most likely not going to realize the true Self with experiences alone. It's require that you let go of all of that, so that the realization can occur. And since you can't be separate from the universe, the logical conclusion is that your true being resides in everything, in particular, the empty space and not just the form that it temporarily takes. Spiritual leaders are (not always) just guides to remind you of what you already know, but forgot due to the conditioning of the current life.
It doesn't require any belief. In the end, you still don't know anything.
Ow. So grateful, I love this.
Such a penetrating clear thinking Soul. Great chat.
Mind-blowing!
My experience is that my parents died and exist no more, I still exist therefore I am separate. I chop down a tree and make a table out of the wood, the tree has ceased to exist, the table exists until it breaks and gets burnt and changes to heat, gas and ash, now the table no longer exists, it is ash. The tree is separate from the table, the table is separate from the ash all are separate from me.
I say this because you speak of our experience showing us that we are the same in being, existing, whereas our experience shows us just the opposite. Yes the pen exists in space and time as the woman who held it does but there ends the commonality.
How can she answer about the being of the pen or the being of Rupert when she has no experience of them? Isn’t she answering on the behalf of an assumption/belief that they are the same as her?
One year later, I now get it 🥰
So profound. Thank you
Dude can't stop blinking damn
Great question and excellent answer👍🙏🏽💗
Beautiful
Merci rupert spira
Brilliant!
Marvelous 🌹🌹
This was great
Best of, Thank you
One big YES ❤️🔥
Good question
Good answer
Are we in a "time" of acceleration at present? There is sooo much negativity being exposed right now but still many sleep through....how awful do "things" have to get? 🤔😓
Hang in there... there are many people who realize what you realize. Just live your life and be happy.
If there is only "existence", all cruelty must be made from existence (and not from separate persons)
It must be this connection of being that drives, or IS empathy; when devoid of mind's excuses fueled by tradition, silliness and ignorance, pure feeling of shared being is allowed to shine and inform our actions.
Listen to Thich Nhat Hanh teachings on inter-being !
really good leading questions. Hub bub
I have divided myself into multiplicity to know what I am.
Thankyou 💗🙏💗
My experience tells me that people live then die never to be seen again as do objects. Nothing tells me that they are more than a body mind that dies when the brain and heart stop
💞Thanks🙏🏽
Perfect for me too! XX
💓thank you💓
My humble opinion is that when Jesus said “i did not come to abolish the law of prophets but to fulfill it” He meant that one should not be good just because I accept what is written in a book or because I want to be redeemed from my sins, but because my actions are based in the strong inner feeling that we all share the same being. True spirituality is when we don’t act expecting something good for us but rather because we feel, act and behave according to our own awakened nature just as people like San Francis of Assisi or Mother Teresa of Calcutta behaved while in this world
Sir, here the topic under discussion is "seeing everything as one with ourselves" or in other words, non dual line of thought wrt spirituality, and not various religious beliefs of humans.

Do not take it as a sunnah or sleep.) This is like the reasoning for the saying of the Qayyum, the Sunnah is sleepiness in the saying of the majority, and sleepiness is what precedes sleep from apathy and closing of the eyes, so if it becomes in the heart it becomes sleep, and Al-Mufaddal differentiated between the Sunnah, sleepiness and sleep, so he said the Sunnah is from the head, sleepiness is in the eye, and sleep is in the heart I finish.
How to become rich while having understanding, wouldn't this be contradictng?
First half is brilliant deconstruction of mass delusion. Spira is a great master of this.
However second half (why should I experience everything as one? To be genuinely kind and compassionate and create a better society) are not words from the source. They are words rooted in human pain… in Spira’s suffering and hope.
In absolute state of oneness, there is no hope or judgement or goodness. You are pure energy. You love and accept all hate and death and joy equally. You have no wish for a brighter humanity at all. You truly don’t care if the world burns or flourishes, those ideas are just limited perspectives of the living. I know because I died from a brain haemorrhage and was brought back.
I would answer her, why do you want to experience oneness? Because you will feel unlimited love all the time. It just feels good!
Perception of phenomenon are inseparable from consciousness of phenomenon. Awareness has no boundaries. The multiplicity is definitely experienced, no denial. But is inseparable from consciousness of .as there is no boundaries. Hearing, seeing ,feeling is merged with OUR EXPERIENCE, experience is merged (non separate ) intermingled with awareness beingness ,the multiplicity of things into bad and good is not to be denied yet both polarities are mingled with beingness ,hence the "transcendental" aspects, beyond 'samsara' .samsara is EXPERIENCED. experience is consciousness. Both are true.but freedom found in the base first.
Your being is finite in the sense that it is intrinsically limited by being only _yours,_ a property of _yours,_ and not of everything else's serially, nor of everything else's simultaneously.
When it comes to consciousness, you are not a consciousness that's conscious of everything (of everything that's there for consciousness, or that some thing is conscious of), but a consciousness that's conscious only of a limited perspective and "slice" of everything. However, that "slice" is in fact causally connected in numerous ways to the Whole, even if it isn't totally submerged in the whole, and has some independence. Essentially you are a kind of extrusion of the whole, a blob with its own limited (tethered by its own nature) independence, but still connected to the Whole, and still dependent on the Whole's being the way it is.
The philosophical way of describing it is, I think, simply that you are numerically distinct from other things, but ontologically the same. You are a different being numerically (a blob somewhat apart from the rest of blob-stuff), but your being is of the same nature and quality as others,' as pointed out in this video. So in that sense it's the same "thing" that's experiencing everything that's to be experienced - yours, mine, theirs. In everything, its being or consciousness is an instance of the same "kind of thing" that's in everything else.
The question then arises, is there a consciousness that experiences all the beings simultaneously, as it were superimposed on each other? One must suppose that answers to the traditional idea of God.
We are little chips of God, we sort of do the same "thing" as God in our own little way (create and destroy in our own sphere of influence), and we each carry an _intelligible representation_ of the intelligible Whole that's causally connected to the Whole, albeit from a limited perspective (or somewhat in the way that shattered hologram images are slightly degraded versions of the whole image, perhaps). But that degree of responsibility is a bit too scary for most of us most of the time, so we project God outwards. And that's fine for everyday life. But it is (so the sages say) helpful to retain a background sense of connection too, and dip into the well of it occasionally.
, that's really deep! I have thought about these things from my own inner perspective before I read this and it seems we have some parallels in our thinking.

“Cometh the hour, cometh the man.”
I'm a new student. With my limited exposure to Rupert's teachings, I get the idea that the goal is to become "unattached" from everything in a sense that we are all experiencing the same things, together, at some point or another. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's to put it simply. Which leads me to my next question: what makes anything in life special if this is the goal to become unattached?
I think it might depend on your personal definition of "special".
Hello there, KKeo4leaR, This one hopes he is not bothering you here, since your comment is from five months ago. He (myself, don't get confused) just wanted to be sure that someone responded seriously to your questions. They are really great questions and this one would encourage you to find the answers to them if you haven't already - you can do it and probably will. Do not be discouraged if it takes five months or more. The answers are so worth it!
If you do still have questions about these issues, just say where you are in your thinking and perhaps answers can be had a bit easier than what we have become accustomed to going through for them. In the meantime, keep asking questions about everything until you are quite satisfied with the answers. Regards!
Obviously we are something more than meets the eye, then this limited body. But that does not mean we are everything. That is nonsense. We are obviously parts not the whole. And that is eternal fact, becouse in absolute sense there is no future or past so no question of mergin or division. Or in other words, we are part of a God not a God. And since you are cognizant entity, He is also cognizant entity.
What do you do when you know experientially the shared Being of all things, but another person acts unjustly and unkindly toward you? When they are violent towards you in word or deed? Would Rupert say it is acceptable to defend your body / mind from the attacks of others even though you know the other's spirit / essence is the same as your own? And, if so, how does one do that? How does one detach enough to do that without becoming "unconscious"?
Thank you for all you do….I am so grateful for your insights and understanding. I hope you don’t mind my enquiring a bit further, however, as there is something that leaves me a bit unsatisfied about your reply. It’s just that I believe that two things could be infinite and never intersect at all…and so just because two things are infinite does not, I think, ensure that they are one…(like if you took the set of all even numbers vs the set of all odd numbers for instance…each of those sets is infinite yet they have nothing in common)…so I think I am missing something here. Thank you again for all that you do.
In your example, they are all numbers. Not only that, they are all labels....man-made, conceived by limited mind. You are making the classic mistake by viewing them dualistically.
Love ❤️ ❤️❤️
you gitta feel it...
So natural as to be common sense when explained that way. I certainly wish it was 'COMMON' sense or common knowledge.
Everything and animal seems to be enlightened, but most humans strongly believe, we are not.
Superbly said. I’m very thankful that you could put it in such simple terms Rupert. The Russian Ukraine conflict won’t happen if they share this view…
What do you mean 'even animals'!
What Rupert is not telling her is it is impossible for the personal to attain this level of spirituality on its own. We are reliant on spirit to intervene. Maybe it will and maybe it wont. We can't force spirit to intervene.
Exactly.
Nothing is real...but your experience is.
