I was absolutely discussed at a nonduality speaker when on his zoom meeting, had a call from a woman who's house was condemned and falling apart. She was in tears and could hardly speak over the microphone as she describes what had happened. He just said to her "Well that's what's appearing to happen then, that's all". She wanted to find some comfort and told him she was feeling utterly devastated. He replied by saying "There's nobody there to be devastated, you're not a person, only a person would feel devastated. Your feelings are only what's appearing to happen but for no one, because no one is there... it's just energy, an appearance from nothing because in reality nothing has happened". She sobbed and told him that she was left without a home to live. Coldly and without showing any emotion he said " Well that's what's appearing to happen then... Nothing else can be said about that.. it just IS". I was furious and left nonduality for a while before finding the teachings of Rupert. He's one of the few, genuine nonduality teachers we have in modern times.

@@ashleytaylor994 If one is aware he is awareness. If you imagine anything you are AWARE of it, your awareness is pointed at the very thing you manifest so it actually became ''real'' as you witnessed it, even if it was just your imagination. I can imagine growing a pair of wings at my legs and growing 4 more hands and 20 fingers, 4 more eyes that each one has different color and one of them has 2 irises. Will that actually happen in ''reality''? If it doesn't, am I not really aware? Who is to tell that I am not aware? The awareness tells the awareness that its not aware? Or is it the mind?

Thank you Mr. Spira. Something just clicked in 'me' after listening attentively to this talk . Till now thoughts were stealing the show. It never gave a gap to be attentive to the awareness which is ever present . Many things make total sense to 'me' now. Now it really makes total sense what Ramana Maharshi said about images on a movie screen. Images can change moment to moment but screen remains the same. Having said that, 'I' am more aware of thought in human existence as a brilliant tool which needs to be put in good use as J. Krishnamurti puts it. Order, both internal and external. Nature given human intelligence is in chaos and 'I' see with better clarity why our world is in such a mess. There needs a radical revolution of human mind to make any sort of change. Goodness me. Phew! It is quite simple really. This awareness you are talking about has been always there.There is absolutely no sense in wasting energy on thoughts.

@peteluxx Жыл бұрын

that's brilliant and very useful. it can be used as practice all day long, as a permanent meditation, to be interested more in that, with which experiences are known, and in which they appear, than the experiences themselves. by doing that a kind of energetic dilution can happen where I am more the awareness that I am anyway, and I identify less with my experiences. It's a beautiful dissociation which has the potential also to take me back to love without needing an outside object, experience or person to trigger it.

Not for the first time, I have the idea that when people are talking about depression they, in fact, mean being down, sad, etc. and not the mental illness called depression. The problem is that depression is then often brushed off as something that can easily be overcome (implicitly taking the patient not seriously) which can also be seen on YT where there are countless movies about 'curing depression DIY'. While I can understand the theoretical side of this advice, I am wondering if the same advice would have been given if it was about cancer. Just ignore your cancer and it will die of neglect. Maybe, maybe not, but undoubtedly a pretty dangerous, and it would be, over here, even illegal advice. My point here is don't neglect medical care and take depression more serious as a mental illness.

If Wittgenstein is right perhaps its language that needs an overhaul - I'm not sure how but if we raised children in a world where they never heard or learned 'I' but instead remapped that to 'awareness' that should help no? "Awareness feels the cold", "Awareness senses anger", "Awareness senses desire", "Awareness senses fear'" - part of the problem is that "I" behaves like velcro - anything that follows just sticks to the person and deludes us into identity with thoughts and feelings.
