I had an experience of bliss to the point of tears, listening to this. The part about, we are God, we are consciousness. I know this, but I got it in a way I never have. Mr. Spira's demeanor and voice convey this material in such a way, that I understand it, like never before

The extreme ego it takes to expound the proposition that you are God is the ultimate in vanity, and in the end is actually the loneliest thing you can say. If you're God, then that means all of your experiences are internal to your being. There is nothing external to your being and therefore you can be the only source of love for you. Well, you can have it! I believe in a God external to me that is the ultimate source of all light and love in the Universe. This namby pamby philosophy of oneness is a way of giving up. I struggle each day to remember I'm loved in a world where I have been given absolute freewill, and that when I stumble God feels my pain, but like any good parent believes that my ultimate fulfillment isn't in having everything granted me but that I learn the value of the fleeting nature of my existence. Cherish your life - here but then it's gone, forever.

True, I am aware of my thoughts and feelings in my mind, sensations of the body, and perceptions of the world around. After repeated practice, perhaps, Awareness feels the real me. (I identify myself as Awareness.) But it is still My thoughts, My feelings/perceptions/sensations that I am aware of. It is still very much localised. When and how does Awareness begin to feel infinite and eternal? Can you help me with this?

Thank you Rupert. I have always knew that even in meditation I somehow still felt restless...but now I know I still entertained objects and only spent moments in my resting place now I truly understand that each moment the cup of life is being poured, open, free boundless and without form. I am so grateful. Now I rest even when I am restless; what a joy, our choice less Freedom before us waiting to be recognized.

Rupert should write a commentary on Balyani's text. It would be useful to make it more accessibe by using more contemporary langauge, just as he does here. Thanks, Rupert, for this wonderful introductory exposition of little-known gem of transcendent wisdom.

Survival in a material way (Fear) is the thing that haunts, all of us. Having said this the Special thing "Consciousness" cannot be harmed, but we feel at times it is under threat, or I have. And in protecting what I know is eternal, we actually distance ourselves from it. A leap of Faith is needed I guess. Just writing out aloud.

no one explain it better than Rupert... so grateful for to have discovered him on this journey back to self. Namaste...

When I was five years old and entered our school bathroom stall. I wondered: when I closed the door, did the outer world actually disappear. I also knew, that I must never speak this question to anyone. Now, over 60 years later, I see what a good question this was : )

What is written in the book "Know Yourself" is proclaimed in the Indian Vedanta also. This book is from the 13th century; the Vedanta is at least 3500 years old. The Advaita philosophy says the same thing also, that the universe is an expression of Consciousness. It is the Maya that makes the unreal seem real.

This is the one point I have a hard time to agree with Rupert. I don't think that it is or can be a conscious choice to "become finite and limited". I personally rather see it as a falling asleep, of god or consciousness. Rupert himself states that this illusory world is a dream. How can you fall asleep consciously ? Is this possible ? I think not.

What a mesmerising absolute truth . It goes directly into the Heart.

C = E Consciousness = Existence Ruperts’s ultimate physics equation

He speaks so clearly and precisely in a way that this can be understood. Just amazing.

Rupert is a great master who practices no prejudices and seeks truth from sources that others in his peer group tend to ignore.

Wow. I would have liked another hour of him on that text. Rupert rocks.

This short text speaks with exquisite clarity. Another time, Mr. Spira, I suggest you read it through and let your listeners feel its power as written. Take questions at the end. Another idea: project the text behind you, so listeners can see Ibin ‘Arabi’s beautiful words. Take questions at intervals.

Beautiful description of Vedantic Nonduality. Great work by Rupert. Two other things. I doubt Ibn Arabic will call existence Consciousness. Also, in the saying of the profit, Know God by knowing yourself. The self is Nafs in Arabic, and it is the technical name by Sufis for the Soul. It is not just the usual sense of self. So the correct translation: know your lord by knowing your soul.

@vampireducks1622

3 жыл бұрын

"Nafs" can be translated either way, I think; that is, as "self", or possibly, in some limited contexts, as "soul". The more usual, normal transaltion would be "self". And in the prophetic saying (hadith) in question (in Arabic: "man 'arafa nafsafu faqad 'arafa rabbahu"), the more obvious (and correct) translation, I think, of "nafsahu" would be "himself". So, "Whoever knows himself knows his lord", just as given here by Spira (from Twinch).

Grateful for the generous sharing

One of my all time favorites. Instant classic.

This is simply best lecture on the ultimate reality! But how many among us will understand this precious talk??!

His elocuence is far beyond than any other teacher

Beautifully explained by Rupert. Not many muslims going deep to all the sufi's teaching and what has been explained by Rupert really blow my mind. Thanks Rupert...Love You.

It’s been 9 years. I started studying IBN Arabi during 6 years of isolation. Very view of a thing is rejecting of it because I been lied to that I was a body that was real. There is noting like into it. After studying numerous people who are stuck with one view not the One View is the very beauty of “ I Am a treasure and I wanted to be known” the knowing starts and has no end no beginning. Oh Muhammad pbuh and enlightened Real Humans. I await not to United but to be in relation to. Blessings.

What an extraordinary presentation. It is beautiful. It feels deeply true. It is consciousness itself shimmering for us to experience. It prompted me to order the book he is reading from. I am deeply grateful to encounter this.

Thank you - I woke up even more today, thanks to you. I finally understood these profound words' next level. I feel almost as if I have betrayed when I prayed for the first time, but I was forgiven for I didn't know better.

Consciousness is always the subject. So 'it can not be aware' for that would make it an object. It is awareness itself, self-illuminating. These concepts are in Vedanta and the ancient scriptures interpreted by Indian saints through the ages over 5000 years.

Clear and simple and deep and mysterious as always. Eternal gratitude, Rupert Spira.

Thank you, beautiful human.

Lovely presentation and insight into the non-dual ... ancient Scandinavian folklore had a descriptive summation to depict our non-dual formless core/source nature of being; Ginnungagap which translates to 'yawning void' or unfettered/unbridled awareness.

This talk clarified a lot of the obscurity I've had with nondual teachings. The first time I understood (not in the ultimate state where there is not duality anymore) that I have nothing more actual than the straight experience. Rather I am the straight experience - there is nothing I can prove but that, because what I would prove is my experience of "that". And the consciousness doesn't live anywhere, so it's not in what we see as forms. Rather it is those forms. I don't have to find my consciousness any better than it already is, because I am it. I hope that some day it will dig into my awareness so forcibly that I turn into that nondual understanding itself and get enlightened.

'You are IT' is the reminder of Non-duality. Just it's discovery has to happen !!! There can be some unreal covers which hinder the discovery (covers can be called identities/objects like age, gender, colour, religion, education, profession, size, position, body, mind, ego etc.) Wish you an earliest success.

Thank you for the wonderful non dual episode by Balayani regardibg Ibn Elaraby .. the transfer into english in full abidance to the essence of the gem is superb .. " The I removes the I and still remais the I "

Such a pleasure to listen to this man.

I have always embraced " Know Thyself " to the point of having it tattooed at the back of my head as a reminder.....attribited to Socrates. Thanks for the reminder.

Hi Rupert, there is a quality to your delivery that is very penetrating, perhaps heartfelt. And for sure not ambiguous at all.

Thank you. Your talks are very interesting and informative. I've deeply studied many religions and thought of the seekers so to say. I can see the non duality. Thanks for what you do

Rupert points directly at the truth. If you don’t get it the first time, just listen to another of his videos, he will eventually describe it in a way that resonates with you. 😮

Superb! The nature of reality.

Thank You for this eloquent reflection of Self to Self…..🕊🌟🕊️

Is all of this to say that my individual awareness has only momentary value but is ultimately washed away? I feel a certain sense of devaluation in that. My awareness is unique, and fragile, and of supreme value not because of its permanence but because of its fleeting nature. I couldn't care less about the "Grand Scheme". The beauty I experience each morning in just being alive transcends whatever may happen after I'm gone. The fact that my energy isn't lost to the Universe at the hour of my Death is perhaps the most irrelevant thing I can imagine. Fight, I say, fight against the dying of the light!

Beautiful, thank you.

'pure knowing' was the answer to which I questioned 'who am I?' during tough times what's interesting is how I first realised this intuitively then thought said 'I thought' and it was brushed under the carpet.

fantastic. Simple, deep, true, epic!

I find Rupert's pointing radically clear and void of the nonessential.

Well it is actually because adults dont feel threatened in their presence why they feel so much at ease with them. They dont feel threatened because babies are still unable to think ugly or deceitful. Everyone, both babies and adults carry the same amount of divine within them at all times even when mind is fully operative. It is not that the divine shines more brightly in babies why adults feel so gentle with them... it is that adults do not feel threatened by babies. And that is nothing spiritual, it is human nature
