The Ecstasy of Aloneness - Rainer Maria Rilke
As one of the greatest of the 20th century mystical poets, Rainer Maria Rilke’s ecstasy can be felt pouring through his peerless poetic searching. In this monologue, Richard creates a sacred space in which Rilke’s beautiful words are given centre stage. It is through his love of aloneness and space that Rilke rises to crescendos of celestial transport that powerfully anticipate a future collective awakening.

This was the deepest experience of Rilke I’ve ever streamed tears through. Thank you. This fed my soul
Thank you from the bottom of my soul; Rilke, Tarkovsky, Coltrane, Clarice Lispector and so many others are huge part of myself. How I recognize my values and duties as a human being inside this confused, chaotic and cruel World. We are all plowing our souls daily to be a better person, learning every day. Where living goes beyond any understanding. The universe is with us. My divine love to you who are reading this. ❤
I have no understanding of how this found me today! Trusting the divine perhaps! I knew nothing of Rilke! Though clearly I did! You, your words, your guidance was indeed divinely crafted! I found myself pausing! Writing! Emotional! Liberated, just to name a few! I scribbled words as if they were not of me but knowing within they were always my words! Patiently waiting inside for me to open the bars, to set them free! Going within! Transcending & alchemizing the unknown languages that have always been ME! I could go on obviously as you have opened a door! A portal, the bars! I am the panther! I am the masculine & the feminine! Thank you! I don’t know who you are or where you’ve been or why now but thank you!
There are two kinds of poets - Rilke and every other poet.

I really wonder if such a humble man doesn't deserve praise beyond his own ambitions. He was really clearly just trying to sort his own life out, and occasionally found the means to cling to peace and comfort and find their inner core and meaning. All things slip, all art vanishes eventually. But to Rilke that was a good thing. There's something, for Rilke, immortal beyond his own individuality. Perhaps best to keep Rilke a member of your family, who you walk with to enjoy watching them as they categorize the flowers in alphabetical order with their wonderful Latin names.
I feel a wave of sadness after listening to these. What a wonderful masterpiece especially "The Panther" part, I almost cried. Thanks for sharing your genius with us sir Rilke!
Dear Richard what a moving and deep gift it is to hear you bring forth the spirit of the poet and poem!!! Forces the gates of hearts open and gets us out of our busy minds !!! Thank you for your great service
This is so inspiring and moving. It's beyond words to describe the joy I feel inside when I find such great teachers of life. Both you, Richard, as well as Rilke (that I didn't know till now) are amazing people that spread the true knowledge and touch the untouchable.
This was great! I absolutely loved it! I was listening to you as I was walking through a snowy forest with noone around and it really resonated with me. It is great that there are still people like you around, even though they are rare to find. Sending love from Poland 💙
Yes, whenever I read poetry, I feel like strongly searching for my own self...

Profound ! With much gratitude for your heart Richard Rudd 🙏
First time listening to content on this channel. This was a profound reading of Rilke's work/soul. I finished my first read through of Letters to a Young Poet last night, I've never felt so connected to someone's words before, each verse like a mirror showing the unfiltered me to myself, like someone flinging open the windows in my room and letting in the light to both illuminate and cast shadows upon me as I search for myself through this phase of depression and mania and unable to find the words to explain my experience.
This really speaks to heart, thank you for creating this work of art. I feel the frequency in every cell and all the spaces in between. Connecting to the silence of ecstasy. I was only introduced to Rilke today, and am totally enthralled by his work.
Wie viel Zärtlichkeit, wie viel natürliche Bewegung! How much tenderness, how much natural movement! DANKE. Ich verneige mich. Deep bow.
One of the most beautiful things I've ever heard in my life!!! Thank you Richard 💜🙏

Pure bliss. Thank you.
So glad I found this! It"s right up my alley. Love Rilke!
Richard thank you. You are changing my life. Rilke is changing my life and holding me during my deepest aloneness, I feel. Pausing before we get into his poetry to first listen to him in his native tongue. Thank you thank you, thank you 🙏🏼
Your profound understanding of Rilke is pure inspiration for me, in that the contact I’d had with his poetry was rather limited, and in those days I had very little grounding in the poetic, and a terror of being alone. It seems things have changed in many ways. Thank you for your splendid insights and reading.🙏
I feel like I can’t thank you enough for this experience. Also, mentioning Machado really resonated.

Beyond words ...touched deeply in the heart residing in the void...the nothingness and the all❤❤❤
Celebrating the awe in my tears as I discover this “old friend”. Thank you Richard for bringing him to life for those of us who didn’t know this ecstasy.
Every molecules,atoms quarts pulled me during meditation with your voice and his poetry towards what which is couldn't come in words yet not ...... Nothing in manifested world could bring even a glimps to what is indiscribable ,reach to a say of Rumi "the language of good is slilence and others is a poor translation ".thanks to you and all signs of manifestation.
This was one of the most beautiful experiences, thank you for this♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏
This was a surreal experience! I'm sure no listener could thank you enough.
I found Richard a couple of days ago talking about Shakespeare and so was led to this. I held my breath and gasped in equal measure and cried with the Panther. This was such an intense experience, I feel kind of drained now but so glad to have found him and Rainer. I don’t know what to say really except that I am so glad to have found this and I will read his books and listen to all of his work (both Richard’s and Rainer’s) I feel blessed to live in a time where I am privileged enough to have the means to experience this. Rainer is extraordinary. I found him so , you know I can’t even say, words just don’t do it. Beyond words really. Thank you Richard. I’m so grateful for this.
Poetry for me is the way to express thought and feeling in its pure state. How to convey your thoughts into words. The true state of understanding. Thank you the video.
I love it how you describe the German language ❤
Beginning in March, imbibing the Gene Keys through many videos, my profile, The 64 Gene Keys, the Seven Seals; the Delta and now the Venus Sequence Deep Dive, reaches a crescendo with the Ecstatics. Their reassurance is of not being wrong and mad but of being misunderstood for unshared insights and understanding. Frustration and irritation of a sea of ordinariness born from barren imaginations is beginning to wane as self-love and adoration builds. Relief. Even happiness. "All shall be well and all shall be well and all manner of things shall be well." (Julain of Norwich)
With Gratitude. That was sublime. I'm going to buy Rilke's poems via the Stephen Mitchell translations...in life's dream! I've got a number of his translations. Your Spirit brings the Daylight and gently opens flowers at different cycles on Earth. Thank you very much. Peace 🙏💐🕊️❤️
So inspiring and powerful truth ! I feel your words , your messages , in my deep core of being , thank you create and sharing this wisdom ...
Profound, touching, transformative. Such a blessing! Thank you 🙏🤍🍯
Thank you for creating this work!!! Blessings!
How dare that heavy rain have perfect timing! I'm a very childish poet who aspires to maintain that childish wonderland of self for as long i can. I'm learning now to rest assured at its continuation even as it slips into my subconscious rhythm and pulse of life. Your words and narrative have done a wonderful job of silenting my troublesome inner monologue to sing in unison with your words, and feel them and understand them. Thank you for your readings, your thoughts and feelings, and your candor. I can feel a very loving genuine self, and you've brought me a comfort to experience Rilke with you. Unless of course, I'm overstating things, and should force a little chuckle so as to say, "Oh no, of course i didn't mean any of that" and spill into the awkward cult of irony that consumes my generation. Anyways, thanks! :)
so beautiful! brought me closer to poetry and into life again. Thanks from heart!
Beautiful. I was alone when I listened. I am in a room full of people.
Lovely video, would love to hear about Miss Anaïs Nin!
Pure beauty in all its richness. I’ve been blessed by this and I thank you for your passion that awakens us further into our passions. I am so in love with your sharing, expression and outpouring of grace through your experience of these profound beings. I ruminate rapturously in this living experience of The Ecstatics.
This video is so liberating. Thankyou tons for this.
Wow. Thanks for this video. So succinctly and eloquently described
Much gratitude for the poems selected, for the depth of analysis and power in the reading!
Thank you Richard for sharing!!
This was incredible. Deep gratitude for your powerful words and delivery, along with the music!🙏 You have made Rilke come even more alive for me, after decades of loving his poetry, and an intensive recent (ongoing) book group study of Daniel Polikoff's 'soul biography' about him.

Lovely. At times, I didn’t know the difference between Rilke’s poetry and Rudd’s ✨💜✨
What a treasure you've given!
amazing....there are no words to express the depth this reached into my essence. thank you. magical 🦋
wow Richard, that's all me. I do not know how to explain it. I will simply say that it held me deeply and extensively. It has taken me hours to hear everything and I printed his letters to read better (my native language is Spanish). I even consulted the profile of this man, whom until yesterday I did not know, but our profiles have nothing in common. I know they are collective things, but how can the connection be so intense and precise? I was looking at 15, 12, 11, 24 and 44 .... Even with the Panther...While reading I remembered that day years ago. I never wanted to go to the zoo, a shaman from Germany forced me and the catharsis that I felt in front of that panther shook me enormously. I couldn't stop crying deep and so full of life at the same time ... And while I was listening to you, I was thinking of the words in my head to relate it... But you told it. Huge thanks from my heart and the wound that lives in it.
Wowo. Wowow. Wow. Wow. Thank you.
Thank you....beautiful
Thank you brother

What astounidingly good talk. Thank you. I came to Rilke because I am doing a study of Borges and he says Rilke wrote "perfect" poetry. Coming from a Master like Borges, I had to look him up. And thanks for the Stephen Mitchell tip, I am going to buy his translations.

Poetry is life, you can't study it - well said. I agree
Dear Friends, yes, we can not learn Poetry but it's the Language of the heart ! In search of the own self people can do that ! I had written in different languages ...and it was the time few years back...I have written nothing since last 20 years ! This is the language of the Heart...above our Mental body ...It comes spontaneously ! Thanks for this ...Richard ! Sohini
I feel like I'm being hypnotised more than meditating. Any change can stick to the poet?
This was truly beautiful. Thank you for this. It would be wonderful to hear your thoughts on Fernando Pessoa and his poetry.

Eurydice is pronounced with an "s", not a "ch". Other than that, absolutely wonderful and very in spirit of Rilke's poetry... mediation.
