This concept of the reversal of the three states of perception is delightful: it allows us to look around at our waking reality and to see it as the dream that it actually is. This brings to mind the endlessly wise childhood ditty that we all know: Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream, merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily: life is but a dream. There are so many of us who know this, but do we think deeply on it? The ditty admonishes us: don't take the outer world of your waking mind too seriously, and, whatever you do, be happy in your daily experience, and live life gently, never forcing, always allowing.

In this discussion, its is very important to bring out the role of what ancient Indian texts call "Suskhma Sharira" which means miniscule body. It is exactly what you have referred to as residual energy (of thoughts and emotions - add memories of all karma to that). It has a defined structure to it like our living bodies. It is what manifests dream state, and our alive state , and death as we know is just when it abandons the physical body for good (due to damage from natural withering or accident, or disease). It then manifests another body by entering into another womb. The wombs are like pre created templates , and depending on Karma and residual energy stored in Suskhma Sharira , a womb is picked. It could be of human, or animal etc etc. And Sukshma sharira is not the pure consciousness. It is a memory store having all all experiences and karma.

Gail Hodgson Yes these are not only interesting ideas but point one towards the ultimate truth. But FYI, these are not new, nor are they Rupert's own. They are Hindu philosophies & 'beliefs' that have been there for several thousands of years. Rupert and other such teachers (including Alan Watts, J.Krishna in the past) discuss the Hindu philosophy of Advaita (non-duality). Incidentally, modern science is indeed just beginning to start on this level of understanding of the consciousness. So far they have been object / material focused which the Hindu/Advaita teachers explain is not the ultimate reality. There are many other videos on the KZfaq, some directly by the Hindu/Indian teachers who are coming from rich traditional schools of these ideas, and have been living them. You might like to check out.

To add on to GameOne, the Advaita text that deals particularly on the topic of 3 states (waking, dream, deep sleep) and the Turiya (pure consciousness ) that is common across all the states is the Mandukya Upanishad.

I love this talk and what it points to. Once you see deep sleep as the true state and the waking state as the temporary one it starts to become normal and make more sense. In support of this is also the fact that True deep sleep is always the same...Nothing experienced, Dreams are sometimes experienced and always different, and the awake state is always experienced and different. If the Truth is defined as that which never changes then surely deep sleep is Reality and the awake state is the dream.

I am a person who has never or rarely had vivid dreams. I always feel like I’m entering into a black hole, of emptiness. A void. A nothing. Like formless form. And people think I’m not sleeping well because I don’t have vivid dreams, and I feel quite the opposite. It feels very restful there. I hear nothing and I see nothing and then as I wake up I feel like I’m exiting this black hole of empty form. Sleep experts say I should be dreaming or that I’m dreaming and I can’t remember. But I don’t even have the recollection of possibly even having a dream or waking up thinking wow that was a weird dream but I just don’t remember it. I just go into a void. It’s quite restful.

Near Death Experiences confirm this. When the body dies, our consciousness transitions to a different dimension of reality. It's not much different than dying in a dream. When you die in a dream, your consciousness transitions to the waking state. Our consciousness is eternally transitioning between different dimensions of reality.

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi speaks of seven separate states of consciousness each having distinct and identifiable conditions that can be measured, quantified and verified: Waking State, Dreaming State, Deep Sleep, Transcendental Consciousness, Cosmic Consciousness, God Consciousness and Unity Consciousness or Brahman. Each has its own physiological and experiential quality that influences perception of reality.

Thank you Rupert. For me, as a lucid dreamer, the waking state fear is totally gone and everything is beautiful or at least very interesting and non-harmful, I fly from dream to dream and I can dissipate fearful occurances in various ways. Is this because my teacher introduced me to this? He died a while back but he is still my teacher. When I asked him about reincarnation he said - "Do you think you are a ghost going in and out of bodies?" He was a Tamil Indian man with the title of Swami. He has a large following in India I'm told and a very small one here but he would come here and teach sometimes. I was lucky enough to have met him. You have probably never heard of him. I love him dearly.

The most Real State must be that state which lasts the "longest". From our experience death is THE most final state and apparently continues to eternity. If deep sleep,(where we lose all awareness of body,mind and environment),is indeed closest to the "Death State",then it follows that we experience our truest reality when we are in deep sleep!.. This is precisely why going to stillness (mentally) is like a "conscious" rehearsal of getting familiar with Deep Sleep and Death.You are trying to marry the Deep Sleep state with the Waking State...."Death" therefore is being experienced regularly and becoming more familiar with it makes you less uncomfortable!!...Thank you a hundred billion times Rupert...you are THE BOMB!!!....

I was not reincarnated in California, I was reincarnated in Hungary, but I have lived in Southern California most of my life. Either way, I feel I'm pretty lucky 😆. I'd prefer Maui though 😉. In my lifetime immediately prior to this one, I was one of the bad guys you referred to. In this lifetime, I'm the opposite, partly to atone for my karma in my last lifetime. I've also experienced in this lifetime being on the receiving end of others behaving toward me as I behaved toward others in that last lifetime. And what's amazing is that I have a twin flame, and he is the person I was being in my immediately prior lifetime. I am in no contact with him, we both must ascend before we can be together. And what's even more amazing is that my parents were also twin flames, and that's a story in itself. But in meditation, I have seen clearly how I have used karma, which is simply cause and effect, it's just a manifestation of Newton's third law of motion. Yes, mind continues, thank you. ❤❤

@greensleeves7165 4 жыл бұрын

A lucid talk in many ways and I agree with quite a lot of it...with one important exception. I don't experience anything in deep sleep. No awareness. No experience. Nothing. Literally, nothing. Therefore it cannot possibly be "pure consciousness" but rather a precursor to consciousness which requires observation or experience to complete itself. Deep sleep is to me entirely indistinguishable in any practical way from the materialist's concept of brute nonexistence. I therefore question the existence of anything called "pure consciousness." If consciousness could exist as a purity, it would have no need of phenomena and none of us would be here. Consciousness is the process of the Absolute reflecting itself.

I know I'm listening to this many years later but I just recently discovered you Rupert and I really love how you explain things. At about the 15-16 min mark you explain what happens to us after we 'die'. I have so many questions about this: 1) people that are not as aware and think they are going to see a white light tunnel - will they see that because that is what they believe? 2) is the point of no more mind/thought, a 'void' like darkness - in other words what does 'consciousness' feel like? 3) you said at some point thought conceptualizes a new body and a new world for us - can we stop that process and not come back? if so, any thoughts on what other possibilities there are? (maybe no one knows) and if not, is it a completely different world (not Earth) we come back to or do we just get a different body? Well I'll stop there I guess, ha ha..

I am not into the life is a test and the host of explanations for suffering. I feel they are grasping for meaning we need. Or is that the desire of consciousness to have meaning of existance. Bottom line of my experience is energy vibration of things and that is the one common constant and dissipating into nothing.

This is an amazing talk. Everytime I listen to Rupert Spira, I feel a bit low in intellect. I need to watch his teachings more than one or two times to actually understand what he means. Maybe it could be because English is not my first tongue, bit I hardly experience this with other (English speaking) spiritual teachers. Maybe it could be because I experience his teachings (or answers) not composed in a linear, easy to comprehend manner. I would be curious if there are other people who have a similar experience.
