This is close to my question - in the consciousness-only model, what are processes (eg evolution, growth, entropy...)? For example if a plant will grow at a particular rate in certain conditions. If the apparently external things that apparently undergo processes don't really exist and consciousness does not itself undergo any kind of process then what if anything does? Presumably thought and perception? By studying how plants grow given certain conditions, are we not then learning about the world but learning about our own minds? How does this work?

It is the subatomic nature of the "dinosaur bones" that might better make Rupert's case for the questioner. That apparent structure of bones is of the quantum filed, so called. According to the principle of non locality, so called, each mysterious particle of the quantum field, including those of the bones, shares the same non-space /non-time as every other particle. Subatomic particles masquerading as matter exist in non materiality. And so the particles are not necessarily particles, but waves, frequencies, what have you, or "mind stuff" within the underlying reality that is Infinite Consciousness, or Being, or Suchness. Whatever you want to call it. Through the lens of the senses though and the human brain we behold the appearance of solid structure within the concept of time and space. My question to Rupert would be then: How is it that was all behold the same interpretations of matter. We all agree that they are dinosaur bones, when we see them? How is the trance collective? I suppose it would be that it is not so much that we are all in agreement, but that those bones are the form consciousness takes, given its play in the quantum field. But ultimately, in Truth, they are essentially Brahman. Pure Consciousness.

"Perception fragments the unity of consciousness and makes it appear as ten thousand things. Perception fragments the dimensionless presence of consciousness and makes it appear as space. Thinking fragments the dimensionless presence of consciousness and makes it appear as time. In other words, space and time are not fundamental to reality. Space is how reality appears when it is filtered through perception; time is how reality appears when it is filtered through thinking. Space and time have more to do with a perceiving apparatus than with reality itself." - Rupert Spira

Weird that the quantum physicist would say “no”. I’m a physicist and we’re only now starting to look at the world from the perspective of the neuroscience - check out Carlo Rovelli’s video on the Philosophy of Time where he explains just that: time stems from the brain. Also check out Royal Society video on Quantum Fields (what are we made of?): there is no difference between this and that. It’s just one big fluctuating field that has no beginning and no end. Just seems to collapse from the perspective of the observer. So no: Dinosaurs don’t exist nor have they ever - just a big ass dream…

I don't think he really answered the question of evolution sufficiently. He started to get there when he challenged the materialist view of reality, but then he kind of spun it into a talk about the evolution of consciousness and the experience of reality from a non-dual perspective. Fascinating, but not really pertinent to the question. I suppose a question like this is hard to answer without first having a discussion about the consciousness model vs material model of reality. Most people are gonna assume the materialist model when asking a science based question. You'd have to challenge their assumption that consciousness emerges from the physical world.

I remembered listening to this conversation in the same room during the retreat. feeling confused, mindblown, and yet resonated at the same time. Listening to this again after 10 months. This is indeed an incredible pointing

🙏thank you very much 🙏

There is only an eternal now. What we call time is simply the observation of that change. The doctrine of Buddhism called "Anitya" says everything is impermanent, an eternal state of change. This adequately explains evolution

Yep. Materialism was born out of the mind of separation.

Beautiful

Here Rupert, is saying that there is an evolution but it is on behalf of an apparent observer who has th efaculty of thinking (in which arises time) and perceiving ( in which arises space). So the cyanobacteria founded in acient rocks (4 billion ago) are what you are now when you see it, cause you can experience only what you perceive, think or feel.

I agree that I cannot experience the past but I did and I have a memory of it, my body has changed. Time exists in every moment you experience and is then consigned to a memory, no? Just because you cannot experience it now does not mean that it did not happen and therefore had existence. You can only experience now but if there was no time my heart would not beat.

Yes, of course consciousness evolves! 💖🙏🏽 we are consciousness decended and extended into density by a vision of ourselves in this time, space, reality, dimension and timeline we have chosen to experience in this Now moment by powers emotional magnetism. We have attracted into coalescence through the intensity of our emotion. Through this manifesting power, as a singular perspective of all of reality (our ego). So as such, we are God (consciousness) evolving through the infinite experiences of sentience (and beyond) as each ego chooses, lives, loves or rejects love…dealing with the impacts of those choices and discovering anew. Yes, we have a mind, but ultimately it is the vehicle for consciousness through our ego for the purpose of evolution, self-healing, a coming back to love (self-love) and personal sovereignty through a rediscovered and aligned divine vision. 🤍🙏🏽🕊️

The most important conclusion follows from his theory: consciousness preceded life. “Conventional science and philosophy suggests that consciousness emerged at some point in evolution, perhaps as recently as the advent of the brain and nervous system. But Eastern spiritual traditions, panpsychism, and Roger Penrose’s theory of objective reduction suggest that consciousness preceded life,” writes Hameroff. And these traditions turned out to be right (again, how did the ancients know? ). Hameroff describes in detail the early universe, filled with the light of the Big Bang - the universe was then a megamind. But then the substance became cloudy, and a period of unconsciousness set in. When it ended, complex molecules began to appear. With their help, the Universe began to “think” more clearly and precisely. Thus, the entire universe is conscious because consciousness follows directly from quantum mechanics and relativity. Man is “more conscious” than stone only because the neurons of the brain are a more convenient environment for quantum transition than the crystalline structure of stone or wood fibers, but man is definitely not the only, and certainly not the first thinking being. Just by thinking something, we turn on (not “we”, it turns itself on) a quantum transition that connects us to any point in the Universe and to any complex mind that exists anywhere. We are the Universe, and the Universe is us. Imagination - Process of Pure Creation The process of creation starts with thought - an idea, conception, visualization. Everything you see was once someone's idea. Nothing exists in your world that did not first exist as pure thought. This is true of the universe as well. Thought is the first level of creation. Next comes the word. Everything you say is a thought expressed. It is creative and sends forth creative energy into the universe. Words are more dynamic (thus, some might say more creative) than thought, because words are a different level of vibration from thought. They disrupt (change, alter, affect) the universe with greater impact. Words are the second level of creation. Next comes action. Actions are words moving. Words are thoughts expressed. Thoughts are ideas formed. Ideas are energies come together. Energies are forces released. Forces are elements existent. Elements are particles of God, portions of ALL, the stuff of everything. The beginning is God. The end is action. Action is God creating - or God experienced. “The idea of the atom being formed of electrons and protons which go whirling round each other like a miniature sun and planets is an invention of the imagination, and has no relation to the real nature of matter. “Virtually all progress has been achieved by physicists, discoverers and inventors; in short, devotees of the science which Newton and his disciples have been and are propounding. “Personally, it is only efforts in this direction which have claimed my energies. Similar remarks might be made with respect to other modern developments of thought. Take, for example, the electron theory. Perhaps no other has given rise to so many erroneous ideas and chimerical hopes. Everybody speaks of electrons as something entirely definite and real. Still, the fact is that nobody has isolated it and nobody has measured its charge. Nor does anybody know what it really is. “In order to explain the observed phenomena, atomic structures have been imagined, none of which can possibly exist." -Nikola Tesla “Great Scientific Discovery Impends.“ The Sunday Star, Washington D.C., May 17, 1931. CREATION AND SACRED GEOMETRY How is it that we are Conscious Spiritual Beings living in a physical world, in a physical body and don't remember Who We Are or how we got here? It has to do with the whole process of Creation and Sacred Geometry. Spirit is the essence of consciousness, the energy of the Universe that creates all things. Each one of us is a part of that Spirit Energy - a Divine Entity. So the Spirit is the Higher Self, the Eternal Being that lives within us. Form is the physical world: body, mind, personality. We as spiritual beings created the physical world as a place to learn. We're here to learn how to master the process of creation - to learn how to consciously channel the creative energy of spirit into physical form. A Source Deep Within As we explore the process of creating our own reality, we begin to realize that the creative power we are feeling is coming from some source other than our personality/ego selves. It seems to come from some place deep within ourselves. We become interested in discovering what this creative force is and how it works. We realize that "it" (our higher self) knows more than "I" (our personality self). We find out what the inner guidance is telling us and follow it. Enlightenment When we begin to open up to a spiritual path, we may go through many different exoeriences and processes in our search, but eventually we come back to an experience of our true selves, the god-like nature or universal mind that is within us all. Through this experience we are eventually restored to our full spiritual power. The emptiness inside us, the fear of loss, is filled up from within and spiritual healing has restored us to our true self. This is the process known as enlightenment. To the best of our knowledge, we may assume that our universe existed way before we (as humans) appeared. Quantum physics suggests that for a particle to stabilize and acquire a fixed position within the space-time reality of our world, it needs to be observed. Arguably, the only power that can make observations is consciousness. Since not we humans, what observed the world that we found? An attractive answer would be that we consciousness observed it before we became humans. A slight sparkle of consciousness may have caused the Big Bang and subsequent orchestration of this universe. Some sort of consciousness may have imagined that a such-and-such world can be derived out of possibility waves and set to create it. Though our imagination is seemingly unrestrictedly opulent, we still have hard time to imagine how galaxies or birds came to exist without something having priorly imagined them. We can clearly understand how any of our creations was created but we feel utterly powerless to comprehend how anything that preceded us was created. That may be so because we mistakenly search for a different creator. What if we created everything? Remember, not we as humans but we as imaginative consciousness. Consciousness, imagination, creativity must have pervaded the universe all along. It only lacked technical solutions. Whereas by setting a simple set of parameters such as nuclear, electromagnetic, and gravitational forces it is a straightforward process to create simple things such as atoms, stars, and all sorts of condensed, orbiting balls… it required vast amounts of time and experimentation filtered by natural selection to create things that can create things, such as ribosomes, hands, and automated factories. The entire history of the universe seems like an arduous strife to organize itself geometrically; a valiant endeavor to order chaos directed by imaginative consciousness. And this process is only at the beginning. What is the universe set to make out of itself? A universal brain? A God? Does it know? Is the outcome of this universal evolution deterministically predefined? Or does it also create the process? Will it eventually dissolve and perish before entropy within its own boundaries? Or will it escape space-time to outer dimensions and keep evolving indefinitely? What exactly consciousness is and why it does what it does is another question. For now we may only speculate that consciousness is imagination acting as a link between our observable universe and the underlying quantum field: imagination extracting reality out of possibilities.

I think that time existed in the universe, maybe under some different interpretation, prior the mentioned 5 BY. Maybe life on Earth is (or was) not the single life form in the universe, there were already other life forms, or even civilizations, prior in the universe, which were able to have an interpretation of time.

Time does not exist apart from interpretation. If apparent change (time) has been interpreted and quantified in different ways by pre-human minds, those models would be inseperable from those minds -- as our human models of change are inseperable from the human mind. The perception of time and time itself are one in the same. There is no time apart from the perception of apparent change.

Dear All, quantum physics describes particular phenomenos as interaction matter and light....it doesn't mind the quality of Couscuosness. In fact the quantum physics is a particular descriprion of materialistico paradigma....

I remember as a child understanding everything but only in an abstract way. In no way could I have put it into words or even understood my understanding in a way that makes sense now after decades of 'education'😶

Imagination - Process of Pure Creation The process of creation starts with thought - an idea, conception, visualization. Everything you see was once someone's idea. Nothing exists in your world that did not first exist as pure thought. This is true of the universe as well. Thought is the first level of creation. Next comes the word. Everything you say is a thought expressed. It is creative and sends forth creative energy into the universe. Words are more dynamic (thus, some might say more creative) than thought, because words are a different level of vibration from thought. They disrupt (change, alter, affect) the universe with greater impact. Words are the second level of creation. Next comes action. Actions are words moving. Words are thoughts expressed. Thoughts are ideas formed. Ideas are energies come together. Energies are forces released. Forces are elements existent. Elements are particles of God, portions of ALL, the stuff of everything. The beginning is God. The end is action. Action is God creating - or God experienced. “The idea of the atom being formed of electrons and protons which go whirling round each other like a miniature sun and planets is an invention of the imagination, and has no relation to the real nature of matter. “Virtually all progress has been achieved by physicists, discoverers and inventors; in short, devotees of the science which Newton and his disciples have been and are propounding. “Personally, it is only efforts in this direction which have claimed my energies. Similar remarks might be made with respect to other modern developments of thought. Take, for example, the electron theory. Perhaps no other has given rise to so many erroneous ideas and chimerical hopes. Everybody speaks of electrons as something entirely definite and real. Still, the fact is that nobody has isolated it and nobody has measured its charge. Nor does anybody know what it really is. “In order to explain the observed phenomena, atomic structures have been imagined, none of which can possibly exist." -Nikola Tesla “Great Scientific Discovery Impends.“ The Sunday Star, Washington D.C., May 17, 1931. CREATION AND SACRED GEOMETRY How is it that we are Conscious Spiritual Beings living in a physical world, in a physical body and don't remember Who We Are or how we got here? It has to do with the whole process of Creation and Sacred Geometry. Spirit is the essence of consciousness, the energy of the Universe that creates all things. Each one of us is a part of that Spirit Energy - a Divine Entity. So the Spirit is the Higher Self, the Eternal Being that lives within us. Form is the physical world: body, mind, personality. We as spiritual beings created the physical world as a place to learn. We're here to learn how to master the process of creation - to learn how to consciously channel the creative energy of spirit into physical form. A Source Deep Within As we explore the process of creating our own reality, we begin to realize that the creative power we are feeling is coming from some source other than our personality/ego selves. It seems to come from some place deep within ourselves. We become interested in discovering what this creative force is and how it works. We realize that "it" (our higher self) knows more than "I" (our personality self). We find out what the inner guidance is telling us and follow it. Enlightenment When we begin to open up to a spiritual path, we may go through many different exoeriences and processes in our search, but eventually we come back to an experience of our true selves, the god-like nature or universal mind that is within us all. Through this experience we are eventually restored to our full spiritual power. The emptiness inside us, the fear of loss, is filled up from within and spiritual healing has restored us to our true self. This is the process known as enlightenment. To the best of our knowledge, we may assume that our universe existed way before we (as humans) appeared. Quantum physics suggests that for a particle to stabilize and acquire a fixed position within the space-time reality of our world, it needs to be observed. Arguably, the only power that can make observations is consciousness. Since not we humans, what observed the world that we found? An attractive answer would be that we consciousness observed it before we became humans. A slight sparkle of consciousness may have caused the Big Bang and subsequent orchestration of this universe. Some sort of consciousness may have imagined that a such-and-such world can be derived out of possibility waves and set to create it. Though our imagination is seemingly unrestrictedly opulent, we still have hard time to imagine how galaxies or birds came to exist without something having priorly imagined them. We can clearly understand how any of our creations was created but we feel utterly powerless to comprehend how anything that preceded us was created. That may be so because we mistakenly search for a different creator. What if we created everything? Remember, not we as humans but we as imaginative consciousness. Consciousness, imagination, creativity must have pervaded the universe all along. It only lacked technical solutions. Whereas by setting a simple set of parameters such as nuclear, electromagnetic, and gravitational forces it is a straightforward process to create simple things such as atoms, stars, and all sorts of condensed, orbiting balls… it required vast amounts of time and experimentation filtered by natural selection to create things that can create things, such as ribosomes, hands, and automated factories. The entire history of the universe seems like an arduous strife to organize itself geometrically; a valiant endeavor to order chaos directed by imaginative consciousness. And this process is only at the beginning. What is the universe set to make out of itself? A universal brain? A God? Does it know? Is the outcome of this universal evolution deterministically predefined? Or does it also create the process? Will it eventually dissolve and perish before entropy within its own boundaries? Or will it escape space-time to outer dimensions and keep evolving indefinitely? What exactly consciousness is and why it does what it does is another question. For now we may only speculate that consciousness is imagination acting as a link between our observable universe and the underlying quantum field: imagination extracting reality out of possibilities.

Brilliant!

in Quantum Physics observer (consciousness) collapse the wave function of particles and this is in line with non- duality as particles are just waves in consciousness and it appear to us as particles only when we observe them and both theories share the vagueness of the nature of reality.

Paradoxically, in an absence of time/space there would be no "evolution." The question of "evolution" would not arise. An experience of time/space is wholly dependent upon memory. No memory, no time. Unity Consciousness wherein there is no other, expresses and sustains all matter/Maya. In an absence of Consciousness, matter could not precipitate. All matter is simultaneously of and within the Singularity of Unity Consciousness, which is bound by neither time nor space. Duality is for the choosing -- either or, this or that -- Light over Darkness -- Truth over falsehood -- Goodness over evil. Life in Duality, is a pro-active, transient endeavor.

A complex question can only be answered with a complex answer. If you answer it simply and say it is all consciousness to the person asking it, it will be a non-answer. Like saying what is gravity and just writing down an equation for a person who doesn't understand math.

Rupert likes to say infinite awareness is the ground. But thing is that awareness would see everything at the same time. How could there ever be individual perspectives? You might talk of obfuscation that occurs where something happens that makes it limited to one perspective. But how could that be because the awareness that sees that perspective is the same awareness that also sees all the others. Awareness could never be limited in its seeing by anything that could possible happen in awareness. Plus the infinite fact cannot be named because that would give it a definite nature and so limit it’s possibility. It might not be giving it objective qualities to call it awareness but it’s giving it something.

Time is the prison warder '' the body is not free from time hence we experience birth aging death ' then the concept maybe are we the body or are we consciousness?? We are consciousness imprisoned in flesh ' perhaps the discussion would be more tangible to begin from this fact

“The rug really tied the room together.” -The Dude

Hey. I’m a bit stuck understanding who I really am. With the following thought experiment I can cancel out already a bunch of things I am not: Let’s say we would copy someone’s atoms exactly to teleport him/her. Would that copied version be you? Intuitively and maybe logically, the answer is no. So we can conclude that our DNA (which was exactly copied) does not define us. Neither do our memories. ‘I am not him, because I am not watching through his eyes!’ Also, If we would ask that person if he was still the same one, he would say yes, because that’s what all his/her memories tell her. Also, the person would act exactly like the ‘original’ would. There would be no way to prove or to be sure it is the same observer. So that made me think, what if this is actually always the case? We just think I am that, because our memories are telling that we are that. But than, who is observing? Or is every fraction someone ‘else’ observing? And why does it feel smooth and are all those ‘different’ observers each fraction of a second, or maybe always the same observer, always observing through the same body system? It really feels like there is a constant, why through this eyes? Oh god, I don’t even know what to think anymore haha, I’m really thinking weird stuff. Than I thought, maybe if we could cut out the concept of time, it would make more sense? Could you help me a bit please? And btw, sorry, I’m a bit stoned so forgive me if I wrote weird things.

I listen occasionally to a teacher called Shunyamurti who is quite good at grounding all this. He has a little video on KZread called Once Upon a Timeless which is amusing as well as pedagogical.

time is a measurement of movement...the past and the future are in our heads..

I am not saying that I do not have a respect for this man because I certainly know and believe that all that he is saying is nothing but absolutely true. However, when I see majority of the comments full of so much of praises for Rupert only reveals that how ignorant are the people to not to know that all Rupert is saying has already been mentioned in the most ancient scriptures of Hindu religion. I also certainly do not have any doubts whatsoever that Rupert must have studied the Hindu scriptures because the thoughts that he has shared in this video and in general what he speaks of can not even enter anyone's mind as this knowledge is a direct knowledge of GOD and there is no other source in this entire world, in my opinion, other than the sacred Hindu scriptures that can provide such a knowledge. I am also extremely delighted that despite coming from an entirely different cultural background i.e. Rupert being a British is influenced to such a great extent to the ancient Hindu scriptures. I am not sure whether I should praise Rupert for his dedication to the Advaita Vendanta philosophy or feel more proud about the fact that the ancient Indian philosophy is so deep and rich.

"It's not I that die out of the world, it's the world that dies out of me." (John Butler)

I don’t get it and it’s making me feel insane.

I am sure vedic texts have a logical answer to that !

Am I right in understanding that we all have the same operation system downloaded into our subconscious? Complete with shared natural history?

"There is no time present in which anything previously existed."

Consciousness does evolve in my estimation which is worth diddly squat, just me trying to figure. Mind and consciousness? Haven't got there yet to comprehend.

Natasha: It depends on how you define consciousness according to the given modality. According to nondudlity, cons iousness is the ever present thst has no beginning and end out of which every apparent reality arises and dissolves .

Okay this might sound silly but as I am watching this video with a pair of my glasses on and while the sun is shining and the trees are dancing, I had the reflections blurring my vision to see what’s going on the screen. So I took a screenshot hoping to see Rupert, the trees, me. And guess the obvious? It’s just Rupert in a certain position. I was kinda hoping to see me, the trees, and Rupert. Where was I seeing that reflection of my face and trees dancing? I mean I am certain I saw it on the screen but when I tried to capture it, it wasn’t there! Try it, it’s fun!

it s very easy to think "everything is illusion". then illusion is illusion and you see...- our reality is real. words game make paradoxes and sometimes makes us stupid

सर्वं खल्विदं ब्रह्म तज्जलानिति शान्त उपासीत(sarvam khalvidam brahman tajjalān iti shānta upāsita) -"All this (collectively) is Brahman, indeed: what evolves from That, what dissolves in That, what breathes or functions in That, should be closely and calmly studied……." - (Chandogya Upanishad III.14.1)

Brahman is beyond mind and speech, beyond concentration and meditation, beyond the knower, the known and knowledge, beyond even the conception of the real and unreal. In short, It is beyond all relativity.

even that is a concept not reality

Latest research by Renowned theoretical physicist Nima Arkani-Hamed says that "Space Time is Doomed".

But to say these things don't exist is denying our experience. In a previous video you said that things do exist but borrow their existence from the ultimate being. Things do exist but not how our brain perceives them. Or have I misinterpreted the whole thing? I'm struggling to link these understandings.

It's never not now. There is only experienced here.

How can consciousness, which is dimensionless, have activity? I guess we must not get stuck on ideas of activity requiring time and space, requiring the dimensions we perceive. Is that it?

Unfortunately, we have to use words and all kinds of analogies to describe things. Words relate to shapes and forms and thus turn out to be pointless in explaining the nature of reality.

@Mock_Turtle_1805

@@dameerdj5403 Yes one of my favourites is the dream analogy. We experience the phenomena of the dream, it exists, we have to live it out, yet the only thing the actually is real is the dreaming mind. The dreaming mind is not manifest in the dream, it is not a phenomenon in the dream like the other things, yet it is the only thing that is real. Moreover, it is what we actually are. So I suppose the analogy is that in so called waking life, our ultimate reality is that which is aware of the phenomenal world, including our internal phenomena. That which exists is not real and that which is real does not exist. So the second world war in which my grandfather died existed like a particularly elaborate kind of dreamed scenario but it was/is really an appearance conjured up by our limited phenomenal mind in response to the so called activity of consciousness. As you say these analogies do break down. I wonder if Rupert's indulgence in these analogies and metaphysical discussions is just a concession to the finite mind, to try to pacify it by throwing it meat as it were. In the end maybe we have to just calm down and stop getting wound up by our thoughts and feelings. If vwe pursue the metaphysics, we just encounter the age old ontological issues around the concept of God, eg why does anything exist and why does consciousness dream all this up and if it has dreamed this up, why does it allow suffering - either it has no control, or it is deliberately causing suffering. I suspect that all this only really starts to make sense if you have some kind of awakening experience. Like with the dream, we can't escape this seeming exisrence inside this body. It seems we might be able to develop a realisation that we are not ultimately this body/mind, but we will still get toothache and arthritis and get stuck in traffic etc.

Because evolution is an Illusion as well. The question get answered by itself. You just have to understand the pure base then those questions would have not even been asked.

Basically, The universe must be a possibility until consciousness looks at it. So, it's said that the universe is built in such a way to make such a sentient observer possible and when this sentience occurs then the whole universe, only going backwards in time become manifested. Now imagine that the Big Bang isn't even there in a chronological sense we're use to thinking. The Big Bang is there but only when a conscious observer looks at the possibilities collapses the possibilities into actual events and then only going backward in time all this stuff galaxies,solar systems, supernovas Big Bang, happened only going backward in time from the event of that first observation. Did big bang happen? Only in our memories.
