"Your suffering cannot stand the investigation" ...Golden nugget!! ❤

The vedantic approach is for the mind, the story we create around our suffering. It questions the one who suffer- we look within and find pure knowing, an ocean of awareness laden with peace. There is no suffering. The tantric approach is for the body, where we unify our being with the essence of the sensation we feel. We forgo any need to label the sensation with emotional hues or associated negative context, but simply feel the raw sensation. We find there is nothing to run from at all. There is peace. Thank-you Rupert, thank-you so much, for the healing your light has shone on me. And thank-you Beloved for guiding me here, I am ever so grateful for this journey in melding my being with the truth of ourselves, in peace.

These instructions are extremely powerful and need to be taught in schools.

Probably the most successful approach to coping with, even treating anxiety attacks is to engage with them, embrace them, an illustration of the Tantric approach.

This is f*cking gorgeous. A must-watch for anyone on the spiritual path. I've shared it widely. Love.

What's really shocking is all the therapy, medicines, light boxes, doctors visits I have "experienced" were all just a thought. A piddly little nothing of a imagined thought. When I realized that... I broke out in hysterical laughter. So frigging simple and we are all duped. I honestly hope dear friend... you see this and become "enlightened". TA-DA!🎉

the tantra method can be very helpful for those that become consumed in their emotions; simply feeling emotions apart from the story and labels can help us release any negativity.

I respectfully disagree ❤

Everyone really ought to practice both these approaches to bring relief when needed, and a realization of unity, oneness, interconnectedness - whatever you want to call it - as perceived through one's own awareness and experience. Priceless explanation.

One should really try this. Just once. And one can realize how there is no 'sufferer'. There is only a thought, a feeling-sensation and a situation, none of which is actually suffering. Looking for the sufferer makes it disappear into the silent understanding from which the illusory I arose and there is nothing but peace and a quiet joy! All gratitude to the teaching which take on the nama-rupa of a teacher to be a beacon lighting the the pathless path! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Thank you Questioner and Rupert. This is amazing to find this tonight. It is quite a synchronicity for me because just yesterday I was triggered and did both methods and did not know that the “asking who feels it” is Vedantic approach and “let me just really sit with this and feel it as far as present as I can” is the Tantric approach. It really is effective. Watching this video has solidified the memory of my organic method that arose. I can more easily remember to do this whenever negative emotions arise. 🙏🏼❤️

Oh yes. I'm sure that Rupert, like the common youtube content creator, is desperately trying to get as many subscribers as he can to aggrandize his ego via popularity. If this is what you think, so much so that you are congratulating him for this grand threshold of subscribers, then me thinks you are entirely missing the point of what he is speaking of. You might also notice that it took 12 years for this channel to get to that mark. Which speaks more to the sincerity and truth of his words and the so very few who listen purposefully to the teachings he articulates.

@UCsEeUhEl5oouiA1mfT7MzoQ is that your "selfless will" talking? At least I'm not personally attacking anyone. And then hiding from any rebuttal by deleting my comments. This is what is known as cowardice, "selfless will". And you're missing the point entirely. Have you ever heard Rupert say "like and subscribe"... No, you haven't. That's not why these videos are posted. That's not the intention of this channel. And using the standard youtube yeehaw for all the subscribers, in my opinion, is missing that point. So you, "selfless will" can call me a "deush" (whatever that is) and ridicule me and berate me personally, and then delete your comments in an attempt to hide your own egoic bs, but I stand by my comment. To: selfless will... Now I see. Your channel "Selfless Will" is full of videos about spiritual awakening and the like. Couldn't allow your egos true colors to be seen in the comments, eh? Maybe then no one would believe you were enlightened. This is the same spiritual hypocrisy that is so rampant these days, that I was referring to in my initial comment. Doing all of this for likes, unlike Rupert who, in my opinion, does not do that. No wonder you got so defensive. For anyone that wants to check out true spiritual hypocrisy, look at the channel "Selfless Will" and I'll dm you the nasty comments this person made to me and then promptly deleted in an attempt to save his image. Perfect.

Love-work in Action

What of a sensation of illness inside the gut. Direct awareness of it yields a sensations of vomiting/emotional pain? We are chained to the karma of our actions. Samskara is there and takes a moment or two of realization in instances. This would not be for a simple reaction but a cumulative habitual way of being. We would do well not to understand this in a neo Vedantic sense. Intellectual realization has limits on immediate healing. Good video and super lucid as usual.

Anger has arisen. I am aware of it but there is no one doing it. It is a happening,

The self is the chooser, the experiencer of thoughts, and the experiencer of feeling. There is no describing the self as the self can only be experienced through the self. It's like a camera capturing the world and knowing it is capturing the world but never capturing itself. The world is filled with unreliable mirrors. Depending on where you are, what you are doing, and who you are with, you see different things reflected back to you through others. So it's hard to have a fixed sense of self. The feelings precede the bodily experience. The anger precedes the hotness, the increased heart rate, and the intensity of feeling in the jaw. The anger cannot be found in the body, it originates from the self then gives rise to the feelings in the body.

All spiritual paths require sufficient mindfulness otherwise you never see the mirage (of emotions and sensations) clearly. I prefer to see mindfulness as part of self enquiry. I try to keep it strong with regular practice but definitely think spending decades exclusively doing it would be a very very long scenic route compared to active self enquiry and self abidance which are far more proactive at getting to the heart of the matter

I’m no expert in this field, but it seems to me that you still engage in the sadness and anxiety at some level. I would recommend practicing your stand as awareness of it all. Also I would recommend seeing clearly that you are not those emotions. When my thoughts try to lure me into engaging them I take my stand as awareness of them and soon they let go of their «hold» We always have a choice in every situation, at least we can chose how we look at feelings and situations. One does not have to fight an enemy just because he is there. Indoctrination and past beliefs might need to be worked on first. I try to allow dis-ease and not fight anything coming to me.

I’d say possibly you haven’t dived into the emotion as much as needed to investigate them. Could you fully feel whatever is present as raw emotion and starve the mind of any kind of reason why it is there? Sit with whatever arises within the body and allow it to be. As you allow it to be there as if it’s allowed to stay forever it begins to dissolve - until you realise it was this exact resistance all along which kept it there in the first place. Slowly but surely you’ll realise nothing in the external world can affect this inner ability to remove resistance. As you surrender deeply you’ll wonder why you felt any need to control anything in the first place. Sensations on their own are harmless. Sensations + a story in the mind = emotions. Hope it helps message me if not !

I don't really understand How does this solve anything... i mean the source of my negative emotion when it arises. If I don't go to The reason, to what is triggering me (conditioning, mind pattern, etc) it will come back again and again, won't it?

It may sound pretty simple when one listens to such talks, but it is just an intellectual understanding, not an experiential one. It applies to the teacher, fine, not to the untrained minds. I am not saying the information is not useful, but old habits quickly kick in before realizing it, especially in a crisis. The five hindrances and old conditionings (Sankara) of the mind will pull one back until awareness of each moment becomes second nature. This kind of permanent transformation is only possible through intense sitting like Vipassana practice or similar deep contemplations and self-inquiry in seclusion for a considerable period; no short cuts there. Rupert's is a calming presence, though. Obviously, he has done time!

The ego is like tunnel vision.

Trick + present= trigger.

Surely if you bring hate/anger close as close can be, go into it, logically you become that - in short I do not understand this approach, it has very bad consequences for me, makes me more angry, I do prefer the witness approach to pushing anger/hate away that is more logical and works...

If you hold onto the story of the emotion, the Tantrik method will be very dangerous and potentially harmful like you say. In that way, the Tantrik way is quite a bit harder than the vedantic. So it would probably be best, especially if you feel this way, to practice the vedantic approach until you have gotten really good at it before trying the Tantrik method. Then, you will be better able to become an emotion (which is only a sensation, not the thoughts or stories) without so much danger of getting swept away. It is the story/thinking that makes the suffering.

Neither path is about pushing unpleasant feelings away or getting rid of them. They’re both about resting in the truth of Being. I understand that there’s longing for peace and happiness behind your urge to get rid of uncomfortable feelings, but how will you ever be peaceful if you must constantly guard against unpleasantness? The Tantric path isn’t really about going into the emotion, it’s about bringing it to YOU (Awareness). It’s about drawing it so close that you can clearly see what it’s made of. In that closeness, that inseparable intimacy, you will find only the imperturbable peace that is your own Being. You’ll find only Awareness. What seemed to be separate will have dissolved into inseparable Knowing/Being. When it’s been proven to you, through your own direct investigation, that there is nothing but Awareness, there will be nothing left to guard against or get rid of. That’s peace/happiness. (Happiness being the absence of lack.) That investigation into the substance of all apparent things/thoughts/feelings is not something you do a few times with the expectation that it will solve your problems. It’s done over and over until there’s nothing left to investigate. When you can find only the knowing of yourself (Awareness of Awareness), lack will be impossible (and will lose all meaning). You will naturally, effortlessly rest AS happiness/peace. On a more practical note, I’m going to have to agree with the first commenter-you might want to stick with the Vedantic approach until you feel more settled in your own imperturbability.
