Here we have a great illustration of Neo-Advaita teaching yet again stressing the absolute truth " You are That" to the detriment of the absolute requirement for a " skilful teaching and means" to liberation. A monastrey type setting, daily meditation practice and immersion in the teachings are the " Triangulation" required if liberation is to be achieved. All 3 ingredients are there in Zen and other Buddhist disciplines.
@@fizywig some individuals may require total immersion and monastic life. Many don’t. Even many Buddhists (and it’s important to remember that this isn’t Buddhism) My favourite Zen Master Bankei’s teachings were very similar in approach to Robert’s. Huangbo Xiyun also preached spontaneous enlightenment without the need for rituals. I agree with you about much of Neo Advaita but I think it does Robert’s teachings a disservice and overlooks the fact that many people awaken through self inquiry. Buddha wasn’t the first being to awaken after all, nor is awakening restricted to any religion or practice. ❤️🙏
The mind cannot ever be silenced period. Until someone from outside the Material Universe intervenes can one then subjugate or imprison the mind. That intervention is ordained to some but Not Most.
Do we need to subjugate or imprison the mind? That makes it seem pretty powerful. It's not a big scary monster, it just feels like that sometimes, it's not actually real at all, it's just one thought at a time popping up. Once we see that, then like the imaginary scary monster under the bed when we shine a torch under there, it disappears.
@@soulspiritself the mind has no such moment even 'of no thought' meaning zero thought. Even in sleep it keeps thinking, it dreams. The thought process is ever lasting it never stops. It cannot be silenced ever...! Q. What can be done is subjugate or imprison it by intervention. I refer: John 14:26 - Bible 'But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you'. Romans 8:26 - Bible ' Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words'. To believe or not to believe is ever Yours !
Hi there, thanks for all you are doing bringing awareness. Now I was watching this video and all of a sudden when "Private" and no longer available?? Hope to finish watching it
The part that begins "I didn't ask to be born of certain parents, in a certain country, at a certain time."? If so I get you, I paused there too. He does say that it's all preordained here and in other writings he says that the soul sets certain intentions or lessons it wishes to explore in the physical realm. These choices then influence the souls life, including the family it is born into and the challenges it will face... You're going to tell me it isn't that bit now aren't you? 😆 🙇🏻
You could be a changeling. Always changing.
Changing into awareness
Beautiful ❤🙏

Odd. Seems to be still there. I haven't made any changes. Give it another try.

One cannot become awareness, one is awareness.
!SPOILER ALERT! 😄🙏
I appreciated the first part, but why does he say the reincarnation circumstances are random? This is false.
