6:30 "Two essential feelings that define the separate self. The fear of death and the sense of lack. All the imaginary separate self's activities are designed to alle(viate) fear and fulfill sense of lack" : Beautifully said.

I loved the part when he explained that the fear of death and the sense of lack are the basic attributes of the seperate self , it summarizes the humman suffering clearly💫👌

To see your thoughts as just thoughts is to be free of them. (Some are are stickier than others)

The three stages of realization that are mentioned in the above video are: Stage:1--The realization that you are pure awareness. Stage:2-The recognition that the nature of the awareness is infinite both in time and space. Stage:3-The endless process to manage to live all the realms of your life in accordance with the discoveries of stage 1(one) and 2(two).

This video contains the whole teaching in a nutshell. Basically, these eight minutes are all one needs to hear about awakening!

He’s a visionary and has mastered the art of life, may we all learn from him

Wow, peace radiates from this person and the very manner that he speaks

If i'm honest, I should say that im getting more aware how unaware I am most of the time...

Awakening, loosening the tight bonds with the body and senses is both the most wonderful experience we can have and also the most resisted (try telling a family member)......wonderful, so fortunate to be in this time. Thank you Rupert.

Great teacher! So beautifully and lovely explained, thank you!

I wish there was some way that I could express the depth of my gratitude for helping to guide me to my remembering of my true nature. Sincere, kind, thanks for sharing your insights with the world.

Thank you for sharing the thoughtful (wrong word) presence of his wisdom and gracious being with us. His speaking is better than a warm bubble bath or a nap on a rainy day ~

This vid is so beautifully done - in every way. Heaven, itself, is in what is being shared here thru Rupert - or, at a minimum, release from all suffering is offered. Yet even the lovely floral bouquet being out of focus in the background - putting Rupert in sharp focus - says something relevant. Got no words for it - beyond sharing gratitude ~♥~

What tremendous beauty this just awoke a little bit in me

Perhaps we dont need 20 years to understand it, but it takes 20 years of learning to teach it ❤

Thank You for the last two minutes! 👏🙌💗

What a beautiful video. Thank you. Rupert is incredibly special

What I love about Rupert is how straight to the point he is. No BS. No beating around the bush. No special rituals. He makes it simple because it is simple.

Thank you, I finally get it

I was always this ! How did I forget ! I am the consciousness in this body vessel.

When did we decide happiness was our right? The grace of being embodied I find beyond words. I think it's Gibrabran who said when a friend allows you to weep together we are friends. I used to belong to the boo ha club. One tale teller would be reviting. Eventually we wept so hard we began to laugh....I also laughed as a child when I was beaten as a child. Pain leads to transformation when love and connection are present.

After the recognition of our essencial being; it cannot be something more interesting than this!!! Incredible! Thank u Rupert :)))

I am so grateful that I was able to hear it. Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Things are supposed to be the way they are, yet so complex, yet so simple. I've been listening to Rupert for quite some time and must say what a tender master he is, yet by master we can only call ourselves individually.

Perfect. Just what I needed to know at this stage. Jed McKenna said "further" but I wasn't sure what that meant. Endless makes perfect sense. Thank you. ✌🙂

This is such clear teaching.... Buddist teaching. Thank you. The teacher arrives when the pupil is ready🙏🙏

Thank you Rupert!!!!! ❤ So good! So beautiful! Thank you!! ☀️

This filled me with gratitude. Thank you🙏🏽🤍

There are several separate stages to Enlightenment/ Self Realization. Read through the Dr. David R. Hawkins material (about 10 books). Start with "Power v. Force". Best to read them in the order written. He delineates the many different levels of consciousness, explains what you experience on each level, and how to get there. In over 50 years of study (and practice) on the subject of consciousness elevation, this is absolutely the best material. Best of luck.

Thank you for eloquently parking the idea of enlightenment as a final and finite stage.

Beautifully expressed. Thank you rupert.. 🙏🏼

Thanks for including so much science!

it's wonderful to hear those things you suspect.... so well articulated.

The thought my seperate self had when watching this video was "wow!".

Its fun.Brings so much peace and Joy.Don't want it to end.

Very well articulated...I was looking for such a description

Wonderful to listen to him

Thank you Mr. Spira. My mind says *I LIKE THAT.*

That's so beautifully expressed!

Beautiful!

Thank you so much for this beautiful video.I would have been happy if you could tell us in more detail on how to live this understanding.

Beautiful! 🙏

Going to see Rupert at the garrison institute next week, want to understand how to live with these realizations in this lifetime!! Also took me 20 plus years of experiential knowledge..🙏🏼 its all cool!

one of the greatest master rupert always makes it so easy...

So beautiful ! I closed my eyes and I noticed it was dark ! Who knew ? :)

Most succinct!

what he states at 641 is totally backwards to TV !! Media bombards you with nonstop images of FEAR via "news" and LACK thru commercials. throw away the TV folks...its bad for your awakening.

The truth of transcendental awareness seems to be an act of faith. I've listened to at least a hundred hours of Rupert over the last couple of months. There is an act of faith similar to that required by a devotional religion that awareness can answer any deficit. I'm struggling with it....

The end of this video was absolutely beautiful ❤

Brilliant explanation.The best of everything I've hear on youtube on enlightenment.No fancy words,stories,BS,guru dressing,etc.Thank you.

That ‘s where I am like he explained in head and behind eyes so funny . I was wondering if others feel this way too 😂😂

Thanks Rupert!

Padmasambhava says: Oh, once you have calmed the compulsive thoughts in your mind right where they are, and the mind is unmodified, isn't there a motionless stability? Oh, this is called quiescence, but it is not the nature of the mind. Now, steadily observe the very nature of your own mind that is being still. Is there a resplendent emptiness that is nothing, that is unestablished in the nature of any substance, shape, or color? That is called the empty essence. Isn't there a luster of that emptiness that is unceasing, clear, immaculate, soothing, and luminous, as it were? That is called the luminous nature. Its essential nature is the indivisibility of sheer emptiness, not established as anything, and its unceasing, vivid luster-such awareness is resplendent and brilliant as it were. This present, unmoving consciousness, which cannot be directly expressed in words, is given the name awareness. That which thinks is this alone, so it is given the name mind. It is this that is mindful of all kinds of things, so it is given the name mindfulness. While it is not seen, it is a special seeing that is clear, steady, unmediated, and steadfast, so it is given the name insight. It is that that makes distinctions among all specific phenomena, like separating the layers of a mushroom, so it is given the name discerning wisdom. All terms such as the sugatagarbha, the sole the absolute nature, primordial wisdom, the middle way, ultimate truth, Mahamudra, Atiyoga, and emptiness are names of this alone." from page 120. "A Spacious Path to Freedom ", by Karma Chagme.

GREAT ! THANK YOU RUPERT !

This experience of Life consists of our presence in Eternal Awareness, all the while enwrapped in infinite energy. We literally live in Tao...

No words. Okay, two words....thank you🌟

You know people are bullshiting themselves when they say they are not afraid of death. Everyone fears death. That's what keeps us alive.

I am pure awareness. Okay I get that. Without awareness, I wouldn't be much of anything. But I haven't seen any reasonable explanation that the nature of my awareness is infinite both in time and space. That seems like pure conjecture to me. There is no birth and death? How do you know my awareness is not a seed that starts and ends with my physical existence? Or even if it was universal, how do I know it didn't start at some point and end at some point? Or what it's nature is--perhaps it's just a spark, nothing more. Just because I can't see and experience birth or death, or yesterday, or over there which is not here, doesn't mean it doesn't exist! Can anybody please show me how we can conclude that our awareness is infinite???

That was beautiful

I don’t believe that the third stage has no end. Nisargadatta discribed this stage as love trying to find expression. Initially frustrated, ultimately victorious.

Thank you💚

Wow this was amazing. Awesome

thank you rupert

Beautiful 🙏

"It's an Art of Life" 🙏

Silence ♡ Presence ॐ Peace

It takes what it takes and a simple phrase is only going to give you the cognition, when that simple phrase by the grace of god or life is ready to be truly heard, or penetrates the self, bingo cognition of something that awareness doesn't even need to hear, how superbly insane.

There it is, all of you spiritual seekers out there, the final word, now go and get realized.

Love to the one and only .... peace and light forever... 🌱

Thank you for your short talk above. I was very interested to hear about your realisation and I am impressed by the way you thoughtfully choose your words of explanation. One question did immediately came to me and I would appreciate your thoughts on the following: if "I" am that which is aware, does "that which is aware" and the awareness continue after what is commonly known as death? 🙏

If in order to know a finite world, awareness must limit itself into the separate self, how can we be sure that there is no limit of awareness? A limit which, with our limited mind, we cannot know?

There is only ONE "stage" of REALization; I am Pure Awareness / Being aware of being aware 💗 And yes, thank you Rupert echoing that timeless wisdom, that it doesn't take 20 years to REALize it 🎉 💗

Beautiful

A lot of people saying, so beautiful, so clear and so on. I doubt most people understand it. It took him 20 years. I certainly don’t understand it.

Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Listen over and overr again, you wil , find out the absolute truth ❤❤❤

Namaste 🙏

This seems to me another way of saying 'I am the universe experiencing itself'

That 's remarkable.

Please give him a ......... noble prize.......

"I am aware" is a thought. When there is no thought you don't know that you are aware.

The knowing that I am aware is limitation. There is no freedom in knowledge. Freedom starts where all knowledge ends, even the knowledge of "I am aware".

A beautiful video from a very wise man. There is however two errors, and that is firstly; that there are no numerical stages of realization. Realization and enlightenment is fathomless and as deep as the space of the universe. Secondly, there is a distinction between awareness and consciousness as with awareness there is always a distance towards the sensed object. Space between taste, sound, touch, visual and cognition. Consciousness however, has no distance, and thus is forever present and impersonal. In other words, awareness is an extension of consciousness, but not consciousness itself. Of all the teachers I have read and listened to, there is only Barry Long who has been capable of penetrating the deepest level of consciousness which is truly worth listening to if you are searching for the truest truth.

Beautiful

Wonderful crystal clear still a mistery

What is the music 0.16 seconds into the clip?

At about 5.15 this just breaks down in terms of coherence. You don't need to take this extra step into 'non objective' 'limitless' 'knowing ' but maybe - we automatically do in the absense of 'God'. Who is the knower ? Confusing awareness which has its roots in our ancestry with a 'panpsychic' kind of consciousness is projection, and ultimately understandable in human terms, but I think it bypasses some hard existential aspects to the reality we are inextricably enmeshed in.

Thank you

...sitting 'in' awareness, abiding without need or goal, one will eventually experience LIFE itself streaming you as all, into existence. Very, very subtle, always present but hidden by the noise of the 'self'...no big thing, just being the experience of being human. De Oppresso Liber

The significance of the passage of time, right, the significance of the passage of time. So, when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time in terms of what we need to do to lay these wires. What we need to do to create these jobs. And there is such great significance to the passage of time when we think about a day in the life of our children.

Gracias ☺ 😊 💖

I’ve read your comments. I am aware of where you are at in this moment. Wishing you a good day!

He says it took 20 years. He then says it doesn't necessarily take long. No matter how long, we can benefit by listening to the foremost Shiva mantra from the Rig Veda; (access Mahamritunjaya mantra - Sacred Sounds Choir", and listen to it for 5 min per day for at least two weeks. In due time the false notion of an "I'" that seems to be in the center of the brain dissolves. In actually, that "Emptiness" (the Buddhist term), is Pure Consciousness, or Awareness "In-Itself". or Sat-Chit-Ananda. This doesn't conventionality, which is simple an expression within the universal Self.

Still waiting to experientially discover that what I am is without limits. I ask myself of what will I be aware when I am dead and the answer seems to be nothing. Awareness seems to be very limited, I am not aware of anybody else's thoughts only my own. I'm not aware of what's happening in my friend's house right now. The list of things of which I have no awareness is huge so it definitely appears that my awareness is limited. So rationally I cannot say that awareness is without limits. Like I said I'm still waiting for some kind of experience that shows me that I'm mistaken.

A wonderful experience to be guided toward awareness. But all he can do is entice.

Just when you think you have realized the empty nature of awareness, grasping lingers on. You may think, "Ah, this is the nature of the mind now I've got it." But it is precisely at this point that you lose it, because this is when conceptual grasping comes in and derails you again. In this way, the mind is carried away and distracted. Until now, because of grasping, we have regarded that which is not the mind as being the mind. We have regarded that which is not consciousness as being consciousness. Space is primordially unestablished in reality, so it's impossible for it to have any color. Likewise, the mind is beyond the past, present, and future. It is also beyond all kinds of objectification. If it were to have even a slight basis in reality and the Omniscient One could not see it, that would contradict the entire meaning of "Omniscient One." Therefore, if it had any existence at all, the Omniscient One would see it. Until now, we have been involved in rejecting and accepting due to grasping onto our emotions, joys, suffering, and delusion. Why do we fall into these states when none of them has any true existence? Remember the reality of last night's dream appearances. All of these are unestablished. None of them has objective existence. However, don't ignore actions and their consequences. from page 119. "A Spacious Path to Freedom " by Karma Chagme

I understand the first part. That everything happens in awareness, but I don't get that awareness is without limit. It might be without limit, but how do we know since we only experience it with limits? Nobody is aware of a specific rock on the far side of the moon, but that doesn't mean it's not there. Can anybody explain this in a way that doesn't require faith, feeling or belief?

I'm not sure you can say you are the awareness because it doesn't have any intrinsic existence. We are only ever aware of smth. Sights come and go, same with feelings, sounds, tastes, smells and thoughts... If the awareness is what you are, then you are constantly changing.

Why would awareness need to live this understanding. Who is the we that that thinks and relates to “other” people?

Yeah: Mind (awareness) Heart (unity-love) Gut (ground of being). Non dual, Ego death, Emptiness, Embodiment. Unfoldings. If you want to call them stages...
