The last 90 seconds of this are mind-blowing. "We don't perceive the world; we perceive the perception. We presume it's the perception of the world, but we never find 'of the world'." All we are ever sure we experience is perceptions. In other words, it's only perceptions that appear, not stuff. Nice.

Thank you lady, you pushed Rupert all the way to the truth. This is what I got from it: every human being only exist as a vibration emerging from One consciousness, perceived as an individual from the separate self. We only perceive the perception of the individual, in reality there is no individual

Thanks to you dear Rupert I feel more and more aware of consciousness. How can we not realize this earlier in life? I feel so free from mind and thoughts.

Thank you. The analogy of the screen helps my mind in grasping that the screen is. Careful choice of language to me appears pivotal in order to communicate this to others. Rupert is certainly gifted in this area.

The qualities of awareness include: existence (beingness, presence); awareness; indivisibility; indestructibility. And, underneath it all, underneath the appearance of multiplicity and diversity; underneath an apparent storm of emotion or darkness of grief and sorrow, is the clear open and pristine space of awareness.

"Objects don't have existence." Perfect! Similarly, "we," do not move through time. Time, of which the physical body is a subject aspect, moves through us (consciousness). "Aging" then, is watching our bodies go by. Whereas matter is transient, consciousness is not.

That TV screen/character analogy is nothing short of brilliant.

After awakening that is exactly the way it happens here Rupert. The aliveness or awareness that i clearly am, is seen and actually caught forming into the thought usually as an image and it seems for a moment that awareness is covered, but it then falls back inn. in a split second it is seen how it forms and unforms. This flip flop has been going on for the past 4 years.

Because the sensory organs are also objects within a larger "consciousness". Again: "perception is also a perception"

This is AWESOME :-) It shows that modern societies have to come back from merely thinking about life, back to EXPERIENCING life (or from theoretical knowledge back to EXPERIENTIAL knowledge).

There is no shared world. Each one of us sees a, slightly, different world because our minds are not identical. Consiousness is one but each one of us sees the world through our mind and since our minds are not identical our view of the world cannot be identical either. Is this correct?

Perhaps that is why we feel "Love" and "in Love" when we have a mutual perception our awarenesses touch?

The process of realization has nothing to do with mind activity. Reality itself is a concept of the mind. There is nothing to realize. Realizing is the exact opposite of "realization". True wisdom remains silent. To claim that objects outside of our perception do not exist is based solely on the misconception of believing that we know what an object or perception itself is.

I'm just in the middle of this talk, but it already amazes me. Contradicting to all my basic beliefs and concepts. Not 7 billion perceptions (which is inside each person's body) looking at the same object, but the same perception looking at the 7 billion objects. Consistence is kept by the same perception, not by the same object. Existence has Objects, not Objects have Existence.

Question: in reference to "can awareness ever be broken?". When one goes under anesthesia, time seems to skip forward for however long you were out. When one gains awareness again, what happened to the world in between me going under and coming back up?

Like how he says there is no proof for existence of the world, is there any proof to say it is non-existent?

That first 8 minutes blew my mind wide open 🤯🤩

So very well explained.

Mind blowing... Truly amazing

it just like online game ? the internet is the Consciousness, the clients are all "rooms" which have the consistency, cuz it belong to one server in the internet :)

There are 75 consciousness' (C's) experienncing 75 rooms. The room I see cannot be exactly the same as you see. However, the "rooms" are similar in many respects because our brains work (process our perceptions) similarly. We agree on the gross similarities, so we can agree that our consciousness is similar. That doesn't mean that there 1 or 2 or 75 C's. "It cannot be divided" - true because it doesn't really exist, it is an idea - a paradigm we use to communicate. There is absolutely no need to believe that there is an "independent" consciousness in there or out there or anywhere for that matter. Awareness is fundamental, but consciousness is just a process, a concept, a symbol our mind uses like love, greed, beauty, or any other abstract concept we use everyday.

Rupert is so patient with this woman who really triggered me.

Radioactivity is outside of our perception but it is there, including nuclear waste that does not only exist in our thoughts. So, what or who is aware of it? Or brought it into existence? I am pretty sure natural laws and physics are not in contradiction to what Rupert says. Physics is not about matter at all, physics is the science about world structures, repeatable phenomena. We just don’t know enough yet to find the bridge between these worlds of knowing.

You are the consciousnesses, which experience a Illusionary world through one character in a movie. A world, a character, taughts made of consciousness. The illusion is the character believes through his ego, he experience a world. The ego is a veil, glasses, though the consciousness experience consciousness

I got it on the first go around. But, in the final elaborations and distillations, it became hopelessly convoluted.

THANKYOU. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

It is scary how many people buy into this. Yes, consciousness is how we model reality. That, however, does not mean, imply, or infer that consciousness precedes reality. That idea is a nonsequitur - it doesn't follow from the premises. P1: Everything I know or am aware of through the mechanism of conscious experience P2: My knowledge or awareness of objects comes through conscious experience C: Consciousness precedes or produces objects, not vice versa That conclusion does not follow, because there is a distinction between one's awareness of an object via conscious modeling, and the actual object itself. The reason we can know there is something external is because we can also model things like how photons reflect off of the object, how they hit our retina, and the fact that we have a brain which we can use an MRI to show which areas light up when we do conscious modeling. We infer that there is an external reality that is mind independent through our conscious modeling (what we experience). We also infer there are other humans with other minds the same way. If one is going to fall into the trap of solipsism, then they should go all the way. If we cannot have knowledge about an external reality because we need to parse everything through our own consciousness, then we ALSO cannot have knowledge about other minds, as we only experience our own. We cannot make some inference of "infinite consciousness" because we only know our own conscious experience. For all we know we are a brain in a jar being probed by alien scientists to experience what we do. But let's stay consistent when using hard solipsism and intractable epistemological problems for our conclusions....either go all the way with this for consistency, or recognize that conscious experience is our way of modeling an external reality that existed long before creatures with any consciousness ever evolved on planet earth.

trick0171: The flaw in the argument you’re making about the supposed incorrect conclusion Rupert arrives at from the two premises you stated is that you are making an unspoken incorrect premise yourself. You say that “there is a distinction between our awareness of an object......and the object itself “. The premise here is that there is a “self” that is aware. All non-dual teaching today, (including Rupert’s) point to the fact that the separate self is an illusion. In fact some leading scientists now say the same thing. An example is Sam Harris, a well known intellectual, consciousness researcher and neuroscientist who has spoken and written extensively on the topic. Here’s a link to a Big Think video of his titled “the self is an illusion “.... kzread.info/dash/bejne/mJWeyM2Ij7uWnJM.html. Sam has also stated on numerous occasions that “all that exists is Consciousness and it’s contents”. What Rupert’s teaching suggests is that both are the opposite sides of the one coin (emptiness and form)

Thank you Rupert. One consciousness and millions of persons.

Yes, absolutely! 😊 He only needs to do so much explaining because most of us are so fixated on the *contents* of our thoughts (e.g. atoms and logic) that initially we have a hard time shifting our focus from those contents to the “place” where thoughts arise (consciousness). Once we recognize the fundamental difference between a thought and its contents, we see that our understanding of the “world” is just a story: It is something that appears as the contents of our thoughts, just like a novel appears as the contents of a book. Our “normal” view of reality is the result of mistaking the contents of our thoughts and perceptions for reality, like a child believing a fairytale read to it by its mother. 😌🙏🏻

What Rupert is presenting here seems entirely consistent with the core of the Heart Sutra, which states: "Emptiness is form, and form emptiness." It also seems identical--or nearly identical--to the the formulation of Bernardo Kastrup in his "Why Materialism is Baloney." I would love to hear Rupert and Bernardo dialogue about this.

Never gets to saying explicitly that, like in a dream, there is no world. Very good...

Likewise, take the analogy of waves and ocean. The waves arise due to external winds on the ocean. Both waves and ocean are never apart of each other - as a huge mass substance water called Ocean. So winds ( perceived objects) cause waves (thoughts) to arise in the all-around Awareness ie Ocean. In essence, thoughts ( waves) are part and parcel of the underlying Awareness ie Ocean.

Well thoughts can be the same but that dont mean that it as the same structure and the Sam with reality we se different I can never know how others se me

At 7:20 Can't the exact same argument be made for the opposite view, the materialist view, that There are 75 individual consciousnesses seeing one room and it looks the same for each one due to the consistency of the room (matter) instead of the consciousnesses ?

As Rupert explained, the materialist view is not supported by your own experience. If there were 75 consciousnesses, they would have to be limited and separate from each other. But you cannot find any limit or edge to your consciousness. It doesn’t “end“ someplace. And because it has no objective qualities, there is no way in which you could tell two consciousnesses apart. If there was one independent world outside of these 75 consciousnesses, how could you prove its existence if all anyone ever experiences is their own, private perceptions of that world? You can’t prove that your perceptions are exactly identical to someone else’s, because they’re private and qualitatively uncommunicatable. And you can’t prove that anything outside of your perceptions exists, because how would you know of it? 🙏🏻🙂

Consciousness, from the Latin root “Con” “scio” literally translated “to cut” or “to split”.

Thank you! 🙏🙏

Theres is one thing that I do not get maybe someone can enlighten me. Why does Rupert say, we cannot have different perceptions and share the world instead having it the other way? We are one species with the same makeup, so to me we can definitely share one world while having 7 billion perceptions. More like cameras of the same phone and software. We only differ in seeing the same world when we sit next to other species with different biology.

Everything does arise in the awareness! Even the grand canyon and the atlantic ocean! All in the space of mind! *gasp* *throws confetti* weeeeeee! The house arises in the same space as the glass cup. The house appears and disappears. He is the Buddha. Rupert Spira is the Buddha.
