Wow, this is one of the best and most thorough explanations of our true nature, that I have ever heard. If intellectual understanding could get me to this beloved "big house" I would be there now. But, the way is different. Anyway, let's go! Thank you, dear Rupert, and Greetings to everyone on the path home!

Love the realization of what we give our attention to, we literally are shining the light of awareness upon it ,awareness is what and who we are, the Light that is shining bright eternally, like the stars 🙏

The Field and the Knower of the Field are not two. Thank you, such wonderful analogies you've given here.

He has a great way of describing it

Very valid point Rupert raises here. The spiritual guide I was profoundly influenced by years ago was Stephen Wolinsky, a devotee of Nisargadatta. However, the guided meditation that influenced me which he produced was pretty exclusively the neti-neti which had a revolutionary impact for me at the time but then was limited for the very reasons Rupert elaborates upon.

Superb! The path. Inward, then outward. The characteristics of peace and fulfillment inherent in awareness.

Rupert is running this show guys ...he is brilliant !! love him ....Lol

Thank you Rupert. Love and blessings to all of us.

I’m only the I AM!! Thank you so much for the light you shine on us. ☺️

Yes Rupert, we can use words to describe what we are not, but we can’t use words to describe what we are. To know what we are, the only we can do is to abide knowingly in pure consciousness. That is self inquiry

Great talk on Hindu Advaita Vedanta. But, 1) he talks about Neti-Neti, Sanskrit, for "not this not this" and says that it's first step but not enough to see oneself. On the contrary, it is a very effective approach to see oneself (as many realised masters have said)! It is employed because, you can never see the seer as it is. It's not an object, I, the ultimate-consciousness-bliss (Sat-Chit-Ananda) am always there all the time. I'm there right now. There's nothing that needs to be done to become it, I am that already, only my ego confuses itself with wrong identities. So all that one needs to do is remove those confused identities by Neti-Neti and what is left, the Self (sat-chit-anand) remains and is 'realised'! But, like every other approach, what works best for them depends on their Sanskaras (predispositions)! And 2) No schools of Advaita Vedanta stop at saying consciousness is apart from the material world. That in Hindu philosophy is the definition of Dvaita (Duality).

Well said 🙏🏽

Love the analogy of the small house and the big house and sitting between. It's just an analogy as how Jesus used parables or Zen masters tell stories. We need only to understand and go into ourselves, not extend the analogies into some intellectual discussion. 🙏🙏💞💞💫💫

So true 🥰🙏

Rupert. There is never a time when you are not clear.

Rupert is here hinting at the view in Tantra that goes like this.. Neti Neti is the teaching of emptiness - there is no self existence in all things. Yet there is the "self" that is the awareness or radiant emptiness of ubiquitous consciousness that is the recognition of the empty nature of the appearances. Finally, the appearances themselves are the radiant energy of ubiquitous consciousness. All is good 🙏

Is there a video where he talks about the outgoing nature, he talks mainly about the inward journey. Sometimes I've felt I am the observer and the object... I've only had that once, in relation to energy in the body -- feeling that I was observing and also I was it. How do I find out what Rupert talks about next? In this experience, I had been sitting outside the small house but not in the big house. Often it has felt like everthing is outside -- observed -- the "outside, outside" along with thoughts emotions, etc. Sometimes I am vast and the body and experienced are inside. Blah -- difficult to talk about -- the question is -- where does Rupert talk about the outward journey. Great talk, great video. Thank you.

I ALWAYS COMES FOR THE FLOWERS

Who's running the show? Great question, and great answer! I knew the answer as the question was being asked, I am beginning to wake up, between the two houses maybe, makes me smile.

@@SuperstarSridhar sure, but I cannot say my perception is absolute and I cannot exclude there could be something more. So this is just one of few options, a legit one, but not the only one. The noumen, the object per se, is unknowable, so it can well be just mind or something else. Surely, in the end of the story, we have only one interconnected reality where objects and subjects are two parts of the same relationship, but this is a different story.

​@@andreac5152 Firstly, thanks for the beautiful line - 'In the end of the story, we have only one interconnected reality where objects and subjects are two parts of the same.' Isn't that the goal of all spirituality? To feel the universal oneness and the peace that follows? His explanation may not be the accurate one, but it is a plausible one as you yourself agreed. I've read somewhere that all paths are but methodologies to get to the goal. (hence they don't need to be all accurate) 'Just get the message and move on. Don't identify yourself with or obsess over any philosophy', Rupert himself says elsewhere.

I stay aware all day every day. Always check myself and pulling myself back to awareness….have done for years. But I feel no peace. I feel no bliss or even much happiness…

Don't stay aware...stay awareness without you. Ego says I stay aware...awareness says is just me, awareness.

The thought tells you who you are is a phantom self(a concept).True SELF(essence) is the thought itself and thoughts can not grasp itself by conceptualization.

Interestingly the Chinese referred to the coffin as "big house", so death is returning to the "big house".

I don't understand what the “collapsing” means.

On rare occasion I’ve seen, using psychedelics, several times, what I am, however, I seem to regularly forget the rope is a stick and think again and again it is a snake and or a shadow. The snake is full of suicidal thoughts and feelings, nihilism, pointlessness and other such shadows. The action figures dream is unpleasant much of the time. Why do I forget?

Only the mind, body, or thoughts can be disturbed. Not the true self.

I would like to know, how can you be sure, there is "higher awarness" beyond you as person. How can you be sure, that awarness in not only quiet consciousness = quiet ego, as we naturally sense it and live it as human.

@Toertsch

There is no higher awareness beyond you, because you're it! What is missing is the knowledge of it inside the personal mind, which is an invention of yourself, the single awareness. This question is the definition of "looking outwards/elsewhere to find yourself" :) I don't know what one can do about it. I think a good method is to quiet the mind and its imagination and just stay there.

Toertsch : The mind must vanish. Meher Baba said it best: “Mind wants to know that which is beyond mind. To know that which is beyond mind, mind must go-vanish, leaving no vestige of itself behind. The humour of it is, the mind, which is finite, wants to retain itself and yet know Truth, which is infinite. This is the position of those who seek Truth through intellect. Few grasp this fact, and so most grope and grapple in vain. “ -Meher Baba

MANY people have had near death experiences and never even knew what was written in the bible, what they saw in their experiences is what the bible teaches about... It was only AFTER their experience that they actually read the bible and were amazed... Check out Bill Wiese 23 minutes in hell for example.

You know that you are. That is, you know ‘I am.’ This knowledge is not derived through any medium such as a mind or a body, which could be unreliable, but rather it is known directly. It is the undeniable and ever-present knowledge that Consciousness has of its own being. It doesn't know itself as an object, because it's not an object. Yet awareness knows itself.

I have seen no evidence that awareness is not just a product of the brain.

@ernestweber5207

5 жыл бұрын

And with what and how do you know that? So far, not much at all is known, scientifically, about what consciousness and awareness are and how the "brain" creates them. There are many hypotheses. It seems that our own subjective experience of awareness does not indicate to us a "brain" in there doing anything, and so, the evidence is your own experience itself, which is what this kind of teaching focuses on. If Awareness is ultimate and primal, then there is nothing that is actually prior to it other than an absolute. It is the which for which there is no whicher.

Your own experience is the best proof. Have you had an experience that awareness did not witness? Awareness has to come prior to any experience or knowledge. Even the knowledge (or thesis) that 'awareness is just a product of the brain'. Can the product precede its source?

@ about 7:08 *Is there anything we can do to disturb the space in this room ?* In a totally abstract sense (if that's even possible . . . to conceive anything in a totally abstract manner) . . . then no. The space would be independent of whatever happens in it. Because we have *said* so. But we could imagine another scenario. Consider setting off a nuclear device. That would certainly disturb the "space" for quite a while. And if the fallout lasts long enough (take Chernobyl for instance) . . . then yes the " space" would certainly be altered for some time . . . if not actually "disturbed." Conclusions ??? For one thing the hypothetical space is *not* independent of what happens in it. Just sayin'. Take it or leave it. And as far as "consciousness" or "awareness" . . . we are aware till we aren't. I and the bible say death ends human awareness. Of course there is the possibility of "rebirth." Just sayin'. Of course i understand Mr. Spira's analogy. He's positing an "internal" or mental space which we can try and make still. That is stop the thought processes from disturbing "pure" awareness. But in my experience this happens only very briefly. But i'm a believer. Strange things happen. *THERE'S MORE IN HEAVEN AND EARTH THAN IS DREAMT OF IN MY PHILOSOPHY.* Last quote by Shakespeare. Thank you Mr. Spira.

This explanation is an ego trap. You are your thoughts. The moment you say I am awareness, you are lost again in identification. Granted, a much more grandiose identification than with your body or thoughts. Who am I? An illusion. Full stop.
