So clear, so easy to follow without resistance, thank you 🙏

I think there is only Rupert, who could de bunk something that, certainly for me, most of my life I have sub consciously believed, so fundamentally, (matter and me separately) and turn it on its head in such a lucid way, that you get that ‘aha, of course’ moment, and in under thirteen minutes ! Genius

This is why I have a deep appreciation for genuine nonduality teachers. These are paradigm shattering concepts. Such a change in perception can cause a great deal of discomfort but is so worth it in the long run.

Excellent explanation of a difficult to grasp concept. I would like to add that part of the reason we usually don't think that the "real" world is a product of consciousness is because we rely heavily on our physical senses.

In the 80's there was a 16 year old girl, Susan, that she could talk to matter and animals and all kinds of beings. She could talk to a chair, or a table even with a toilet paper. The first time I listen to her was really strange for me, but I believe what she was saying because she said that everything is Consciousness. A lot a people laughed at her. She even took down some videos of her talking to things. Then as she grew up she stop doing these videos. Now she makes videos but they are only about coaching stuff.

The irony: the materialist adopts a belief that puts oneself outside the possibility of knowing oneself (including oneself) as one with "matter" in consciousness! What an self-imposed exile!

And an entirely ABSURD dead end street to logic & science ITSELF....because by WHAT MEANS then the Materialist would EVER be able to know ANYTHING ? Including science or that s/he actually even EXISTS ? INSTANTLY Logic reveals by NO MEANS. So the one that cannot know anything tries to know something, lol. Total collapse of reason....😋 Profound pathological & pathetic IGNORANCE. And ARROGANCE. Like too dumb to know anything but so damn special to know something....🤭 Recipe for the mental asylum....😁

So many people propose that reality as we experience it is a grand mathematical equation, or extraordinarily advanced computer simulation, to cite two examples. All I know about reality is that I AM - and therein lies the biggest clue as to what reality is

Can a thought view you, Question you, examine you. When I was a kid I was active sleepwalking dreamer, The majority of that experience was me finding myself along for the ride experiencing things that I was not consciously thinking of or making up but rather viewing and experiencing things that I would’ve never thought up. Psychologist said the only you can control your dreams, So I went with that and attempted to eliminate the experience as a kid mind you. While I was somewhat successful I was not entirely successful and controlling what happened when I close my eyes and fell sleep. Later I began to consider it a form of possession. My grandfather was dreaming that a bear was after him while sleeping, He proceeded to try and escape and broke his neck. He survived, question is was the bear hey figment of his imagination or an intruder. Your work fascinates me when it’s opening my eye a little. I had considered myself and still do a Christian, but the deeper I dig the more I find the discrepancies and the lies of those that came before. Just wanted to say thank you for offering a little peace of mind that I could search out myself with a little instruction. Sometimes that’s all you want

Worlds one of the most spirituality specialists and so simple and humble. Hats off to you 🎉

Without question you have this wonderful gift of metaphor, that effortlessly slices right through to the very center of our hearts and restoring us to the all inclusive Oneness. You are such a blessing at this pivotal time.

Wow. Mind-blowing!

We may not be in a straight contact with matter, but we can see the traces that matter leaves behind or the consequences if you like. And that is how we know that matter is out there. I hope that Rupert will explain farther about, in a future video.

Perfectly spoken!

It’s definitely a more acceptable explanation than the currently accepted paradigm. I don’t think that can be denied.

wow just so clearly explained, like i've never heard it someone say before. why its always delivered in metaphors when it's so simple? thank you!

You are a genious, Rupert. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Of course it is upside down! I wake up and build up the slide from the back side with calculus, here I am at the top and I slide down. The insight or awakening is the shape of that slide revealed by the movement, the shape is true. I wake up again from seeing the difference and comparing, and then the calculus to justify this again begins. Work then play. Eros like a buffer, those little steps up the slope leaving a space. On universal scale too, with perhaps the Planck curve the buffer between the quantum calculus and our moving realization. Two paces of moving to a higher entropy state, but the movement so efficient it all arrives at almost the same moment. Consciousness everywhere! edit: Forgot to say thank you, I must be 'slipping' .

Thank You !!!

Another way of explaining sunyata. The Heart Sutra. Form is emptiness, emptiness is form. The Prajnaparamita. Dependent origination necessitates the emptiness of independence.

truly mind blowing ❤

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant!

This video clearly sets the record straight 🔥

Great explanation of idealism. Only one remark, until we keep calling each other mad, we'll never come to and end with this dualism between materialists calling idealists mad and vice versa. We are all conscious and intelligent being and both have good reasons to believe the one or the other.

Exactly Rupert!!! The separation of matter and consciousness believed to be true by the materialists _is_ the root cause of all conflicts seen in the external world. The world we see "outside" is just a mirror of that mistakenly made error! God bless

Good video 😊

That was a really excellent presentation. I now know that he is right

wonderfull!🙏❤

11.46: "untill our view of reality changes nothing we do temporarily to do with any of those issues or related issues will make much difference.."True.. imo our view of reality is more immature than mistaken,humanity is a work in progress...

Awesome video. Bravo

Excellent! 👍

In the early 90s I found a book, the Holographic Universe, by Michael Talbot. In one of the chapters, one theologic scientist suggested that consciousness creates matter. The more I thought about it, the more it made sense.

Ervin Laszlo covers this in his book Science and the Akashic field; an Integral Theory of Everything

This is the highest teaching of Upanishads... Propagated by Rishis of ancient India.. Non duality principal.. Very well explained by Rupert... Thanks & regards. 🙏

There are a lot of various definitions to the term "awakening" when applied in a spiritual connotation. Yet, I feel that Rupert here offers us what should stand as the primary understanding of the term. As this understanding then leads directly to accurate interpretations of "Self Realization", and further onward to "Enlightenment". Not that intellectual clarity can substitute for the experience of true Knowledge, yet it can at least offer us a signboard pointing us in the right direction rather than another random detour.

He’s standing on the shoulders of giants, Neville Goddard in particular. Wonderful

Interesting. I need to listen to this a few times. So death (of our body) is an extension of our consciousness.

Thank you kindly for your reply. It is clear that the ego is perceived by consciousness, The question I was trying to ask in light of the talk was; Is the ego conscious or is it inanimate? Best regards, Brendan

Sage Ashtravakra taught us the direct path many many centuries back. His bold and curt narration of advatia is not popular. Our unevolved binary minds needs a Rupert to get past its stubbornness of binary. He takes pain to break dn the binary into unity.

We're all eternal beings living a human experience at the present time.

"Quantum mechanics says that classical objects-including brains-don’t exist. I’m claiming that experiences are the real coin of the realm. The experiences of everyday life-my real feeling of a headache, my real taste of chocolate-that really is the ultimate nature of reality." - Donald Hoffman, author of The Case Against Reality.

I’m still not quite there. Why should i imagine a thought and a table are made out of the same thing? I get it thoughts are in consciousness, made of consciousness but not themselves conscious, ok. But thoughts and tables have nothing in common aside from not being conscious. Tables aren’t made of concepts, I can’t set my drink on a concept. And I can’t drink an idea. Thoughts and matter are fundamentally different yet he seems to be arguing they’re more alike that different.

@6:20 Rupert Spira uses an assumption that dreams happpen and/or are created in our own minds. I think that dreams can be build from an external source, and that external source can be conscious or not.

This is the only video you will ever need

My belief is that the table does have consciousness of a particular kind (so I agree with this). (I wrote this comment before listening to the entire video. HAHA!) This exists in its molecules ... it's vibrational existence. This results in a cooperation that holds it together in the shape it assumes. This vibrational quality of consciousness is aware of its existence but nothing more. And this is only the case because it is energetic ... or "excited" ... vibration. This is not separate from us but more of a cooperative action (that's difficult to explain ).

I will never support materialism....sadly our entire foundation rests on materialism. I want no part of it. This is why I never pursued a degree in physics. I refuse to endorse the staus quo.

I agree

Let's imagine the table is consciousness. Then current physics and physical law as the relations between things and energy is still applicable. So whether you call a quark conciousness or material: the science is the same. Materialistic science is still true It's just the question if you want to be able to understand and explain the human inner experience as observer with the structure we are made of, or not. And we are not sure even if we can, so until that is settled this position can still be held. Psychologically it is still always an interesting position, and can be helpful for some. However the fact I can operate surgery on your brain and influence your experience, doesn't look good for this position

Yes!

It is totally upside down only in the sense that we feel we are separate when there is no such thing as separation on any level whatsoever.

be interesting to have you discuss the theory that we are in a simulation. And agree that everything is made of consciousness, or awareness, or what we might crudely say is "god", but I sometimes sense objects without consciousness still knowing themselves in some inexplicable way. For example, not only sound just sounding, but itself "aware" of sounding, and so on. Or am I just picking up the inherent nature of everything being awareness? Comment? TA

Wow

I would recommend listening to Rudolph Steiner's ( died in 1925) or read his numerous books to begin to understand that the Universe and man are spititual in nature and that the Universe itself is governed by very different spiritual beings

Yes!😃

I fully agree with Rupert here but I would have liked to see him directly address an obvious counter argument that would have arisen as he was discussing whether or not 'the table' is conscious. Okay, the table appears in consciousness, is made of consciousness but is not 'itself' conscious. Now, turn to one of the people in attendance and ask the same question. How do we get around the conventional view that 'this person' is him/herself conscious? I think a possible approach is to distinguish between the appearance of 'a being' and the *experience* of being--but I would have loved to hear how Rupert would respond.

The absolute crux of the matter. Gold.

This seems very much similar to what I have studied in the Buddhist abhidhamma.

Paul Selig's books teach this concept. A shared field created by consciousness.

Which comes first, existence, consciousness or awareness?

These words are like a Big slap in "my"face, beacause they make fall away all "my" beliefs about the nature of this experience called LIFE. This is a dream, Who is the dreamer?? I don't know, i can't know, i don't care.... What i know is that after the beliefs fall , what remains is LOVE This is my nature , when i'm divested of seriousness.

🙏

I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but If you really listen to this man he makes perfect sense, but like me there are to many blunt knives in the planet, and that’s why this simple thing will never be resolved.

How did we determine that a thought is made of consciousness?

❤

12 minutes of a wisdom that could change the entire course of history. It seems to me that natural selection can not explain the existence of dreams in humans they don’t have any survival advantage other than give a hint to humanity that point to the direction of reality and hence the only way to get permanent peace and happiness in the world.

Can you just tell me the King Lear story again Rupert. I get that LOL!

There is no dead matter...everything is consciousness. That consciousness might be different and we don't understand that consciousness for example rocks, plants... There is a difference with selfconsciousness...

I have experienced a complete other “ totally real “ world that seemed as real as this world that i experienced within my own conciseness . So I feel I have proven this to be completely true …
