Is it right to listen to various teachers most of the days Or to dedicate oneself to a one teacher and give him at least few years, I am a bit confused on this issue as due to choices available due to internet I often end up listening to one teacher after another, please advice

@@DilbagSingh-ox8li what do you feel is right? I also follow many but have found myself listening to Rupert in particular lately. I allow myself the freedom to follow natural urges with who I listen to, sometimes listening to many different teachers and other times focusing on one. I feel like if you do choose to follow one only, it should happen organically, not because someone else told you it is right.

Whenever I'm losing direction Rupert Spira points me in the right direction again. I'm very grateful to this wonderful teacher.

"When the student is ready, the teacher will appear" - thank you so much, Rupert. Thank you.

Often I fall asleep and awaken to the voice of Rupert Spira. Lucky me to have found him by accident on youTube of all places. 💛

I had been seeking for many years and I cannot express the joy that I found Rupert’s teachings. I finally understand very clearly who I am and am looking forward to listening to him for the rest of my human life and meeting him in person one day. I don’t have to search anymore. What a miracle I am experiencing! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Many of us feel the same after a long search when we come across non duality in any of its manifestations

No words can describe what this gentle giant of a being has done for many of us. And finally, he has shed light on my many misgivings about silent retreats. So humorously out and so in alignment with our humanity and oneness. Thank you is an understatement Mr Spira.

The pure and genuine is clearly present in the Spirit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. If there is one playground where we can experience lasting friendships with ourselves and others, it is in the qualities of the Spirit.

I once fell into "madness" and deep sorrow at a 10 day "silent" retreat. I had to leave early. I found the part about silently avoiding other people's eyes to be extremely disturbing. The silence was ok but I did not "grok" the purpose of avoiding eye contact. Sitting silently and eating at tables - sort of together but not. I also became physically ill, did not know why & later realised that I am allergic to tofu. The whole thing was so completely painful - both physically and emotionally. I also learned that my mind is quite extremely delusional and will take all that silence, which is like an empty screen and project on to it all of my past, false assumptions about who my ego thought I was. Finally, I am - right this moment - letting go of the intense grief, guilt and sorrow I had fallen into then - about 17 years ago now. I also remember that the monk complained that we were not sitting below him as we were supposed to be doing so we had to change our way of sitting. I was in so much physical pain and I did not know why. That experience certainly did bring up literally all of my issues but I think I was not ready to deal with so much at once - all alone. I must say that most of the others seemed to be doing fine. I think I was not ready for it as I still I had so much emotional baggage and nobody Intrusted, to help me to deal with it. I too am an artist and I very much resonate with Rupert's description of his artistic experience. I am 75 yrs old now and I am so grateful to have stumbled upon this lovely, compassionate man.

I agree with Rupert here that not being allowed to look one another in the eye is extreme and the opposite of oneness, it breeds separation 💓 I'm sorry you were not in an environment that was supportive and loving. I can understand how that could add trauma to trauma! We need to be held, if even by our environment, when things like that come up.

Really hope to meet you one day!

After decades of living in Florida, I recently learned that there are crystalized clams, calcium citrate, that exist, and can be found. Beautiful little treasures, hidden all over, that have been hiding for millions of years (possibly...) waiting for me to come by and pick it up. Maybe even clean it up. But, it was waiting for me to experience, admire its beauty, and enjoy every moment spent looking for it.

Awesome human being. Awesome insight. Awesome sharing. Awesome outcome. ❤😂🎉

For some years now, the most interesting thing to do for me is to sit down to listen a Rupert video or read a fragment from some of his books, For me it is my Shravana, then I go for a walk and meditate about the teaching of Rupert (my Manana) and finally I try to perceive the world, feel my body, observes my thoughts and act in this world in a way that is consistent with the Non Dual teaching of Rupert. (Nididhyasana)

“What we want to become, is the Being that’s already there. “ it’s completely mad! 🙏🙏🙏 I bow to your wisdom Rupert, and send you love and gratitude.

Exactly what I needed to hear. That self discovery doesn't have to be a discipline or a rigorous practice. Just something you feel like doing whenever

There is a teacher for every level of understanding, some of us need far less advanced to have interest or understanding, some a median level, others more advanced. When the student is ready, the teacher appears, because they have been there for you until you come to the point you can recognize them. There will always be such teachers, we just need to grow to the point they can help us go further. These teachers are valuable at all levels, as we usually don't progress without the blessed work of walking each step of the way. The experience of incremental growth can be a wonderful journey we can share together.

Such a simple approach. I am able to drop excess trappings from thinking and being.

“Dancing for no reason.” I love this.

All suffering (of any sort) hinges on the single belief . . . that 'the I' that 'I am' is a separated self.

Superb. Just Great. Rupart just explained in few minutes of my 10 years journey. 🙏❤️

I’ve got to get to a Rupert retreat 🔥

Thank you Rupert and all contributors of great questions... God bless. Love you John 16:33 "I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” 1CORINTHIANS 2:5 "That your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God " Thanks 💕 🙏😘

This man is a BLESSING!!!

I’m so glad I found you. Thank you for all your teachings. Can’t believe this one has been here for 5 years already! But I’m happy it finally reached me.

Rupert's speeches are Pot-in-a-video... Can't get more relaxed and happier after hearing him...

So simple yet so profound is the essence of the teaching. Stop seeking and rest with experience, abide and sink in yourself. There, everything is known

The analogies he uses are brilliant! It's so obvious to see in someone else. Tough to see in myself l. So I bless this man for the discussion. Has anyone else experienced social consequences after really realizing his point about the servant at 24:ish?

It’s sounds like Rupert is a classical guitarist and if so then that was a perfect explanation of the relationship between the student and the method.

just as Bashar says..."follow your excitement"...it's really your guide to a happy, full-filled life.

WOW what a gift this guy is thank you!

with tears of joy resulting from this wonderful sharing I say a thousand thanks to you Rupert.

Life is truly an adventure into infinite consciousness that is always here and now. Wow, the only experience there is. I am this experience. Thank You, RS.

Some have suggested that all suffering is only in the mind!

I want to share my method of realization which helped me. I would be happy if even just one man benefited from it. When hurt, or under any feeling, emotion, you must try to feel the I who is hurt. This is the most important. Observe until you can feel it clearly. This is difficult. While observing dont try to stop the feeling of hurt. Then continue observing the I without resisting the feeling of hurt. You will discover that this I is something focused or localized inside. Continue observation. You will find out that this I exist because you identified yourself with hurt. The hurt became alive. You became the hurt. If you continue investigation, you will discover that you are not the hurt, not this I, but this I is inside you. You will be aware of yourself as borderless something (i cannot find a word for that) and this focused I at the same time. And with your will you can stop the identification and the feeling will be stopped also.

I did Vappassana & had a spontaneous awakening. I never went back to my old paradigm. So it did wonders for me & I was in the now like never before. I came out of the retreat like a child. The world became a beautiful place & I wanted to go and live in nature. I previously had no connection to nature.

❤ pure blissfulness and simplicity to what we are being and objectively experiencing as source.

Yes, it is so absolutely miraculous that there is experience. An even bigger miracle is how often we forget that it is an absolute miracle. There could have been nothing, in fact each night in deep sleep there _is_ nothing, yet the next morning there is experience again.

"....and that SEEING, will take care of everything else.." and it REALLY does- not just pretty words!

You know he's right Great teacher, really knows the subject

This makes me laugh - it's so positive, albeit in a subtle way... 'Do what you love to do! - only do that which is interesting & enjoyable!' Yes please!.. So many people would think that 's spoilt and self-indulgent, but it sort of leads into the opposite direction if one's skilful, aware about it.. As I used to reckon as a kid, what do they really know? Maybe nothing!' I didn't quite know that the world is somewhat alienated from its own true Being :)

Love you Rupert!!

This is just like seeing oneself and see that there`s nothing else to look at !! There`s an intoxication which makes every worldly pleasures trivial !!

Realising that all the consequences of experiences of bad past, bad events, bad memories and bad activities has been elaborately gone through all the three phases of "SEPARATION", "BEGINING" and "ENDING", none of the phases has been left incomplete in any way, then life changes miraculously having no more fear and no ending except a new begining.

I just can't discribe my experience with your teaching .5hank you

Rupert, 06:00 brings to mind Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's 'Flow state' theory which we are happiest when intensely focused on what interests us. Also Colin Wilson's teaching about intense focus.

understanding suffering is understanding what is wrong,. understanding what is wrong does not awaken what we want in life. this is based on the premise that we do not actually want to suffer but would rather be happy, studying suffering is like hitting yourself in the head in order to see how good it feels when it stops, awakening from a dream is being who you are and knowing that you are complete and awake and no longer can even entertain the idea of dreaming

Think the miserable mistake,especially in a familiar setting is people go 'Bored Oh thats that' and then go off into a separate conceptual world 'This bla bla bla'. Find some 'Netti Netti' mirror internal noting bring one back into sync with the moment- might find it enjoying-^-enjoying rather than this 'n' that complaining. If something irrelevant and unpleasant does crop up and gets a hold, just spread it into the wider awareness and it should pop its fabricated existence like a bubble.

Beautiful, takes one beyond words and thought.

Beautiful exchanges and messages Rubert. Thank you.

The area surrounding suffering in this talk opened up my mind to a new understanding, worth watching.

Love each and every moment! What a brilliantly clear way of explaining the "process" of evolving into more love, understanding and clarity! Every cell in my body is resonating and celebrating! Gratitude and love...

Rupert was a successful potter.

I’m fairly new to these teachings but its all getting more clear .. can someone please explain in what matter our experience in the eternal now suddenly ends? When people and pets leave our existence I’m trying to understand my suffering from loss I truly would appreciate some sort of answer I recently lost my 2 dogs that I love dearly its so hard to believe they were in my mind where they felt so real in my world

"But those who disbelieved - their deeds are like a mirage in a lowland which a thirsty one thinks is water until, when he comes to it, he finds it is nothing but finds Allah (the absoluteness)..." part of the verse 39 of Al_nour (The light)/Holly Quran Th thirst is both body pain and mind sufferance, and it keeps telling you (( see - Experience - that it is just an Illusion (mirage), only then you find your truth. You are beautifully describing the truth of Experiencing as tenths of books did not, thanks for the clear and accurate examples you give.

Needed this talk today of the "Miracle of Experience" All the attention in spiritual work the "becoming" or what we call the "Practice" or Discipline. So appreciative of allowing us to have what is organic or original in being lovingly attentive to all that is our HUman vehicle and how it is living in the experience. To be able to hold space for the deliciousness of any of it without demands or outcomes is really the joy available in being present with the Now.

Brilliant

That is why Rupert insist that meditation is something that we are not something that we do. As soon we turn spirituality into a practice it looses its enjoyment

You had me at "mad scientist" -- brilliant

Inventions benefit mankind by doing... Master benefits mankind by being .... ONE 💖

15:00 suffering is to the mind what pain is to the body. Great! But at this point I feel Rupert is leaping into his teaching rather than staying with the metaphor. Because when my hand I feel pain because my hand is in the fire, the pain is advising me to do something about it. When my mind is giving me the signal of suffering I believe it's the same. Rupert suggests just take it as a hint that you are mistaking yourself for a bodymind. But he would not suggest, I am sure, take the pain of the fire as a hint that you have mistaken yourself for a body. He might say take your hand out of the fire AND THEN ponder about this, but he would not dismiss the fire as a real problem that demands action. And so I believe that the suffering actually tells you that there IS something wrong in your life that inflicts psychological or emotional pain onto your mind. Feeling suffering should make you look around and wonder why am I feeling miserable? And maybe you realize that you are being mistreated in a relationship, that you don't like your work, that you have a bad sleeping schedule etc. I am talking about this because these videos which I truly cherish nevertheless often gave me a sense of I am basically just an idiot for my suffering who still just doesn't get how he is not the bodymind.. and this can easily lead to spending all day meditating instead of cleaning up your room for example. Here Rupert would suggest to not meditate if it's not what you would love to do at the moment. But cleaning my room is often also not what I love to do before I start.. I like Ruperts teaching for all the harmony between spirituality and 'normal' everyday life. In this area I am missing the link between the two and feel like he is jumping over the obvious reason the young man was asking his question. Maybe I will change my opinion when listening to the rest of the video, just wanted to pin that down Best regards

"The root of suffering is an illusion of a separate self." - A true stoic would feel no fear of death because he would know that life and the cosmos will continue far beyond his mortal form; however, at first principle, suffering is generated by our physical sense perception - if I put my head on a hot pan, I will feel pain regardless of whether I believe in, for instance, eternal life beyond my own. To deny the reality of pain and suffering in our immediate awareness is to deny the very fabric of our experience, which as he says at the beginning is the only way of knowing that we have in the first place.

Thank you for this. The point is to get oneself out of the confines of the box. The art of practice puts one in a box.

So so so nice, lovely, no words to describe that how simple made it to others to understand, thank you so much

I am so grateful and so happy so I can listen to Your words and conect with U Rupert via internet. Thank U so much.
