Wow. This is like being handed the ultimate cosmic riddle, only to realize the answer was quietly breathing with us the whole time. The simplicity is almost maddening: we spend our lives chasing the extraordinary, only to overlook the most intimate and obvious truth-our own awareness. It's not hidden, it's not mystical, it's just so close, so ordinary, that we forget to notice it. This isn't about finding something new, it's about realizing there was nothing to find. Just be. No searching, no striving-this moment, naked and unadorned, is the enlightenment we've been conditioned to believe is somewhere else.
Yep but doesn’t help figure out what to do. That’s what I find frustrating. I find this teaching truthful but not useful. The crappy real world is still the one we live in. Not this utopia of awareness. We are aware. Now i need resources to survive.
A theater stage supports every play, no matter the drama or comedy. The stage remains steady, unnoticed, and essential. Awareness is the stage of your life, holding all experiences but never changing itself.
Dearest Rupert THANK YOU FOR BEING MY BEST FRIEND! Thank you so much for this sharing ! Simply amazing and feeling deeply grateful for Your Presence ! Thank You. 🙏 ❤🙏
Thank you to sharing this beautiful mediation Rupert. The space is the essence of the objects that exists. If the fish will be aware and meditate the will say water is the essence of our existence. However we know today that water will never exists if the atoms that composed it will not have space. We are a dance of atoms in the space. 🙏🏼💙🙏🏼
Subtle to the gross. Gross to the subtle. We as 5 sense physical beings have identified with "things" instead of no-thingness. The more you recognize the subtleties of Life itself you are stepping into the within, the spirit. The Spirit is who you are. Welcoming you home. Keep going.🙏
Thank you! Indeed there are a lot of things in my room but I can use them and be in the room only by thanks of space inside the room. Likewise there are a lot of organs in my body and I can use them, and at the same time there are a lot of faculties of my soul and I can use them, but all of these entities I can use by thanks of consciousness or Self.
Passionately seeking enlightenment is a sign of deep dissatisfaction with Life as it is, now. The concept of enlightenment has become an unrealistic unattainable vision of a life finally free of most evil, uncertainty, insecurity, confusion, and paradox. In actuality it is a return to the ordinariness of Life, with its travails and joys, failures and successes . it is a loving acceptance and gratitude for Life as it is, not necessarily how we'd like it to be. Most reject that with sad disappointment. It's a return to merely chopping wood, and carrying water
Thank you so much for sharing these meditations here on TH-cam, it makes it so easy and accessible ❤ Do you have any meditation on "The Kingdom of God is within you"?
While listening. I was curious if we are awareness how we can possibly overlook awareness , maybe we aren't sure what awareness even means. Which would make sense. It's kind of like God can't know what God is
Hello! One of the quite often repeated sentences is this: A finite mind cannot know infinity and Infinity cannot know the finite mind. Based on this I have a question: if so, how do you know what you talk about? Rupert Spira is a limited form of infinite Life. How then can you talk about Infinity?
In my opinion, there is a lack of practical aspects to explain here There are metaphors, analogies, but it never gets to the point: how to understand and/or experience the presence of consciousness
You’re experiencing it all the time. It’s the only way you can have any experience at all. But I think I know what you’re talking about. It feels like it’s just not enough. The voice of the Echo still has its preferences to gain certain things and avoid others. When will the fact of consciousness feel like it’s more important than those? Because the kind of peaceful feeling that comes from listening to something like this doesn’t last, at least not for me. In moments of turmoil, I have no experience of it being the background. I can remind myself of that, but that’s not the same thing. I’m not convinced that many of the people who come and comment on these videos positively aren’t in the same boat. They just seem to be OK with liking the story when they hear it and listening enough where it tides them over. When will the very primacy of consciousness move to the forefront consistently?
I’ve always liked Rupert spira but after years of studying zen Taoism etc etc I still can’t see the point in life ? I remember seeing niagra falls and thinking so what - when my parents died it didn’t bother me - I just don’t see what people see in life it’s meaningless / I’m not depressed but I Know I will get to my dying day and sing is that all there is
the chances of coming back to the non-dual Self are slim to none..i suppose hes chatting about the dual self . when you realize the non-dual Self all of anything created, the dual self is created, vanishes..
"Space" is absence of Contact between a sense organ and its object, because one or the other's absent. Also "Space" is absence of obstruction between a sense organ and its object. If eyes are blindfolded, Contact is obstructed, and what the mind "sees" is - space. So "space" is basically - nothing. However, Consciousness, or if you prefer Awareness, is always and only consciousness of something; there is nothing in consciousness that was not in the senses first. So without a Contact, Consciousness cannot arise, and without consciousness - what can you be aware of? If you say, I am aware that there's nothing, then what you are really aware of is your thoughts on the situation. BTW, awareness is not a "thing"; it is not "you", and it is even less a "higher you" or "true you". There is no "universal consciousness" and there is no such thing as "universal awareness" for the simple reason: there are no "universal sense organs" and no "universal sense objects", therefore "universal contact" is impossible. And Contact is where all experiences start. If your plan in life is to "experience the entire universe", "become one with the universe", maybe try with something smaller, like drinking the entire ocean in a gulp?
I wish I could believe in this. But if it is so simple why did Ramana Maharshi sit 12 years in a semi-catatonic state after enlightenment. And why did Ramakrishna say that most people die immediately or very shortly after enlightenment cause the body can't handle the energies?
Obviously everyone is not happy with their space because they adorn their space with things that are important to their self. It would be the same with someone's self where they can describe memories of experiences they have held on to which could be said they have adorned self by holding on to experiences. Great example for one to adorn themselves with an experience is being a subject on a so called teachers video link. Now how could that be adorning yourself you may ask. Well, the subject has just invited someone into their space. So basically we are a subject with our objects in a space so that we can have an experience that we created. After all that is what space is for. Even the Universe fills up space with things at random and random means " done without conscious decision". Just like the analogy the so called teacher used and said " it's just something we do", now that is clearly random. So whats the point of all this teaching. no point at all unless you want to yo yo self. Look, you your lineage inception was initially FORMED not BORN. Your FORMED source has already manifested from the elements of the universe and transcended, that means you are the Metaphysical object in your space.
Everything said has already been heard. Everything not said, will never be heard. Repetition only creates more repetition. The parrot pastime. Nothing changes except the season. Silly parrots.

I felt Peace and freedom but also fear. They idea of being Everything and Nothing is lonely. Does Source cycle thru loneliness? 😢 Or is that my ego?

Hello rupert

The play of enlightenment is the most amusing parrot trick to watch. One parrot meditates, the rest squawk endlessly about nothingness. Silly parrots.

I dont know if you noticed Rupert but you fell asleep a few times here during this video. Are you allright?
Are YOU ok? Do you understand what meditation is?……….
@ I can feel the anger and frustration in your message.
