    Seems like Rupert’s videos are becoming more succinct, yet more profound and impactful all the time. Eventually he will post 30 minutes of just his smiling face, and that will be just fine.

    second upon second
    passing through me
    i´m standing still, and enjoy
    the flow of them
    rushing
    through my vessel
    the pain and the pleasure
    of those seconds
    carved out of time
    by my ability to count them
    tik tok
    undevided time
    like the atoms that makes up the clock
    that counts them
    and the sun that sheds its light
    on it
    for me to see
    the flowing of the seconds
    so beautifully

      @@FJBtV-os2pv - it can rephrased - whenever you are happy, it is always here and now. It is hard to be happy when we postpone our happiness. Some beliefs postpone happiness to after death that you will reach heaven or something else. But Rupert’s path is to be happy here and now.

    Ok I understand awareness being prior to any conceptual understanding of it , is self self known . So there’s a part of me that just keeps trying to understand what it is I understand about it . I mean it’s just knowingly awareness right ? My mind keeps asking WHAT exactly do I know about about this knowing of itself ? It’s like I can’t know it without letting go of trying to understand it . Ok ok so do we just let this knowing grow and grow without understanding it ??????

    I agree that meditation isn't 'about' progress or achievement or attainment, or getting something - after all, how could that possibly be measured or assessed? (and it's just a bit of a silly idea) At the same time, in the matter of becoming happier and more peaceful in ourselves and our life, meditation is a method of change like no other in terms of effectiveness.

    If if aint a progress then why are the buddhists obsessed with jhanas stages of enlightenment etc and also the hindus with stages of samadhi. Isn’t the journey to enlightenment something that we should actively pursue like climbing a mountain. Why do the yogis etc go to mountains to meditate?

      As I understand it, Rupert says that ego or personality is an illusory entity. This illusory entity is a combination of awareness and experience. Yogis take themselves to mountains or forests to reduce experience to its simplest form. That is, it is easier to become knowingly the presence of awareness when there are few distractions.

    I disagree here . You cannot meditate for more than a few minutes because you have not done enough yoga to loosen the joints and muscles . Do yoga , then meditate . Or do pranayama . There is a destination whether you realize it or not . It's called enlightenment . After enlightenment , there's no need to do yoga .

      With these videos they take more concentration. Try putting it on your tv vs phone. A satsang with mooji on the tv is always better for me. The bigger image facilitates a more immersive experience. For many an image by itself can be enough to feel the presence of a master. It’s not bad to not enjoy this though, everyone learns differently. My wife learns more from reading but I love my audiobooks. She gets bored during movies and I have to step out/take a break, anytime some to intense happens. Lol 😂
