These philosophical speculations are well constructed sophisms to fit the philosophical-religious doctrines of Rupert and others. The reality is that no one knows who and what God is. To say that He is Being, Consciousness, and we are one with Him would mean that we know from birth, as a pre-programmed instinct, who we are, what mitochondria or DNA is and how it works, and so on. But the Hindu religion, like other religions, has found "excuses": God sleeps through us and dreams, DNA or mitocondria is a dreamed illusion :) until God / we wake up and become aware and enlightened in/from this dream, etc. Let us then ask the great and enlightened gurus who have attained Cosmic Consciousness how many planets the solar system has or how an anti-covid vaccine is made through genetic engineering which is in fact God's engineering. Remember, Sars-Cov-2 virus is a dreamed object by God and/or us or it is the real Infinite "I Am" manifested into a limited form of a virus, or etc. :) Rupert said in another video that all objects are "I Am" = God manifested limited in forms (stones, trees, etc.). So, according to Rupert and other followers of this dogma, the bacterium Borrelia, which is a spirochete bacterium that causes Lyme disease (a torturous and long-lasting disease that destroys the social, mental and material life of the infected person bitten by a tick), before being qualified as a destructive bacterium, it is in its essence "I Am "= a "isness" which is God's being, and this manifestation of God in a finite form of microscopic and toxic spirochete bacteria is cleverly programmed to attack and relentlessly destroy another finite form of the same "I am", but manifested as an conscious, intelligent, spiritual, rational, sentimental man, which is the culminating work on earth of the same Conscious Being "I Am". I sincerely appreciate awakened people like Mr. Rupert Spira and others, but I agree with them to the point where a "prostitution" of reason begins to appear just to agree with a religious-spiritual-philosophical doctrine that anesthetizes the reason.

@@thinkandsend7453 I understand your well-stated and erudite concerns. But the issue here is larger than the forms you speak of, even the devastating effects of Lyme disease and COVID-19 (you should check out the recent Instagram posts of Jeff Foster, another enlightened Englishman, who I believe just came thru a very intense period of dealing with Lyme). What Rupert is speaking of here (and in all his videos as far as I can see) is not a “philosophy” (a mental abstract) but actual experience. Grounded physical experience that we can (from a conditioned, Materialist point of view) see as outside our understanding and therefore unreal or abstract. No, from Rupert’s teaching point of view our usual way of seeing is the abstract, incomplete way. Rupert is genuinely trying to be helpful, a Bodhisattva in Buddhist terms who sees as his mission “coming down the mountain halfway” to meet our yearning attempts to climb that same mountain. This doesn’t put him “above” me but rather makes him the experienced traveler who comes back down the path to help guide “others” on their way. Does this make sense? It IS a radical thing, this understanding. If we accept Jesus’ and other Master’s words about accepting everything that comes to us as our own it does lead to a certain peace that passes all understanding. Even Lyme. Even tRump! Ha!

I must've watched a dozen of these videos now. It's about time I said thank you. Thank you Rupert.

The ease and simplicity by which Rupert makes a complicated question’s response so easy to understand for us is the uniqueness of Rupert. Very grateful and fortunate to be here.

I also was haunted by the idea that if we think feel and act according to the understanding the world is an illusion then I will not feel compassion for the illusory creatures around me. Until one day I , who used to practice spear fishing for years and enjoyed seen the struggling of the fish for his life when it was speared by the harpoon realized that now after several years of following the teaching of Rupert I wouldn’t be able to do something like that any more Few days ago I caught myself with the fact that I wasn’t able to kill some worms growing in my flower tree. This was something natural not a result of a thought or reasoning. It is happening just like an spontaneous mutation. My conclusion is that once we begin to feel the non duality of existence compassion and love follow naturally!! I have to thank Rupert for being the responsible of this transformation in my life behavior.

Gotta love Rupert. He's such a clear teacher. I was so glad to hear him refer to Lucid Dreaming. It's a good metaphor for how it feels to understand the "illusion" of space, time, and matter. The lucid dreamer both has a dream and wakes up in its dream. That person understands they are both the dreamer and the dreamed simultaneously. We say the same is true in our "waking" life. When you "wake up" when awake you realize you are both the dreamer of your human experience and that character simultaneously. What happens when you "wake up" in your waking state, commonly called enlightenment? You don't care less about your human character and other characters, and what appears to happen in the world. You love everything and everyone because you see yourself in everyone and everything, and everyone and everything in yourself. Very similiar to how lucid dreamers feel when they wake up in their dream. 😊

I didn't get the impression he was claiming to be enlightened and able to move mountains, walk through walls or whatever. He says that he's just an ordinary guy attempting to explain the inexplicable. In Zen, for example, it is not about attempting to break things down and study the parts as in the reductionism of science but about meditating until one becomes the Buddha. So much more abstract and intangible. This doesn't though negate the experiences. Having used science to study consciousness (my MSc is in Consciousness) there isn't anything in science to negate what Rupert is saying whilst there is also nothing to positively endorse what he says either. So jury still out on that one. But I guess one may well get what one believes on the basis of self hypnosis being suggestion accepted. So if you accept the suggestion then you'll see just that. What does that say about the mind?

Ultimate explaination respected master Rupert. Accept my bowing . Great

I practice A Course in Miracles (ACIM) which is the most modern text of nonduality. Rupert has helped me tremendously in understanding the most difficult concepts. But don't forget that concepts are useful only to unwind my mind from egoic programming, removing the blocks to who I am in eternity and where I am forever. In other words, the Ultimate Reality is beyond all concepts/words/forms.

Thank you. 🙏💝🌹

Thank you so much!

Beautifully said.

Constantly comparing waking "reality" to dream "reality" helps a little. i mean, how astoundingly "real" everything feels in one's dream. Its all "inside" the dreamer. Amazing. The triad/thriputee of knower, known and knowledge. All merging into the knower.

I agree. Difference between real and true A lie is also real but not true. When something is true then there's an alignment between different things. A lie is a lack of alignment between real things. There is nothing "not real". If something isn't real than you wouldn't think about it. It simply isn't. The differentian between "something is real" and something is not real " is itself something embedded in reality. We cannot break out of the framework of reality 😊

This really helped me! I wish I would have heard this long ago.

Consciousness is beyond all perceptions, intellectual, sensory, spiritual etc. But consciousness is also acting in every perception as its laws and ways. It has many sides, each sides of them are a part of reality, one side eternal consciousness, another side the laws that the conscious put within the physical, another side how many aspects and dimensions they have, then about perception. All of this makes up one whole

best ever !

Carlos Gutierrez, for me, this physical reality (illusion) is the reflection of our consciousness. In addition, reality is not what appears to be or you are seeing, but it is what you think is going through your old and limited belief system, mindset, past experiences, traumas, etc. You are making up your own reality as you go. However, by becoming a more spiritual being, then you can create a different reality. In other words, your spiritual reality can change your physical reality into a better place, because you will use your intuition. No more dramas just unconditional love!

excellent speech!

So talented...

One of the greatest teaching of Rupert: “No object exists outside of Consciousness” As a math teacher I would like to add that the converse of this statement: “No consciousness exists outside objective world ” is obviously false. Therefore it is not a biconditional statement.

This is very deep

See for yourself😇

He reminds me a bit of a younger Mark Rylance, especially his calming voice.

This explains why a personality can get the experience of psychosis or things we call psychiatric maladies. I suppose, even that has a purpose too then, even though I don't understand the benefit. I see both the illusion and glimpses of the screen. Love and light

But here's the thing. An actor who keeps remembering his or her true identity during a play won't be able to achieve the kind of performance that an actor who loses him/herself in their role will. That emotions conveyed by such an actor will not be deep enough, they will be rather superficial. But someone who, just for that moment, truly identifies with their character, will be able to give a superb performance. They will, of course, remember who they are a few moments before they bow down in front of the audience at the end of the play, but when they are speaking their lines, they better forget the fact that they're John or Judy Smith. The whole theatre was built just for that moment.

By realizing that we are in a dream world, means that any suffering we suffer is not really real..so the whole point of enlightenment or realisation is to end suffering. That is why usually people who suffer constantly will develop dispassion towards life and head towards awakening.

> I don't unerstand anything. •Nothing to be understood. You are That . Just bring the attention back to that. ~>To what? •To that sense of presence that which you can almost 'touch' when you direct your attention on it. .. it just can not be defined by anything, for sure not the mind .. Nobody knows what it is .. not Buddha, not Jesus .. It's just the babbling of existence. You can call it Brahman, okay, it doesn't explain anything. If you think you know. . Careful, its just another aspect of IT... all just experiences, which expire. Sit daily just with what is, or better sit as what it.. just to bring the attention back. That's it. Nothing to be done about it. Bring yourself back to that sense of presence which makes all the experiences possible. As soon as the rememberence comes, be that, connect & stay there. That much we can do, we're asked to do actually. To say you are the doer is a concept. To say you are not the doer is another concept. What to do with Enlightenment? Enlightenment, what's that? If you want to do something.. do something that alleviates the pain, the suffering in the world. So..The best you can do is to be absolutly centered in yourself. But if you do nothing else than be absolutely present, you do the best for the collective. Come back home to your true nature... & let the external world take its course & if you're called to do something in it, do many good things, if not don't, just remain quite.

In Vedantic teachings of Hinduism, when we say the world is an illusion, we mean that anything which is temporary is an illusion. The one which is permanent is real thing. An individual is born & dead, is just not there, appears illusion but life is reality because it’s eternal.

He tries to explain these very difficult concepts of The Upanishads very beautifully, but the problem is our finite minds can't comprehend the Infinite Sat-Chit-Ananda, the absolute Existence Consciousness Bliss...so our finite limited minds keep on asking questions. The Brahman, the scriptures tell us, can be "realised" only during Samadhi when the mind is completely quiescent and all thoughts have completely subsided. Only when Self realisation is achieved does the mind stop asking these questions. Hence Raman Maharshi repeatedly emphasized on the need for practice of Self enquiry or any other type of Sadhana( spiritual practices) as per Guru's advice.

The squared circle does exist as an idea that can not even cannot be visualized. Nevertheless, these two types words “square circle” brings into existence the thought that contains the unimaginable concept. It’s kind of like the TV and the illusion on the screen. The typed words invoke “something” that is there, yet in-perceivable.
