Thank you. I've been praying about this all day. For understanding the deep sadness that I was aware of but refused to identify as. It wasn't easy, the habit is to be drawn into the feeling. But I did not succumb. It is a practice.

❤️‍🔥TRUTH❤️‍🔥 RECOGNIZES ❤️‍🔥TRUTH❤️‍🔥 simple as that

Awareness watching Awareness. And in the watching, truth remains.

@@brucerandy69 ❤️‍🔥YES!!!! When one removes all lies that they have assumed or have adopted as their reality, TRUTH WILL BE WHAT REMAINS. I HAVE ALSO COME TO THIS SAME CONCLUSION MOST PEOPLE ARE OBVIOUSLY FAR FROM TRUTH AND BELIEVE THEIR BELIEFS TO BE THE TRUTH THAT REALITY NEEDS TO CATTER TO. This seemingly harmless mentality is responsible for soo much of the insanity and dysfunction in the world. TO REALIZE THE TRUTH THAT WE ALL CAN EQUALLY STAND ON no matter our differences in beliefs. WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR making SURE EVERYONE ELSE CAN HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO REALIZE IT AS WELL, NOT BY CONVINCING BUT BY ENCOURAGING THEM TO SEE IT FOR THEMSELVES OUT OF RESPECT FOR THE SELF EXISTING TRUTH. ITS THE EGO that BENEFITS FROM HAVING A CLOSED MIND, AND ONLY TRUTH BENEFITS FROM HAVING AN OPEN One. AND THATS THE REASON WHY LIFE GRACES US WITH TRUTH SO THAT WE CAN PASS IT ON WITH ZERO PERSONAL MOTIVES or AGENDAS OTHER THAN WE LOVE TRUTH AND WANT MORE PEOPLE TO EXPERIENCE HOW GOOD IT FEELS TO LIVE IN HARMONY WITH IT. FEELS GOOD TO LIVE IN A WORLD OF TRUTH AND NOT ONE OF LIES. LIES ARE GOOD FOR THE PEOPLE THAT WANT TO CONTROL AND MANIPULATE AND THATS WHY WE LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE ITS NORMAL TO LIE. EVEN THOUGH IF WE ARE HONEST WITH OURSELVES IT MAKES NO SENSE WHY WE SHOULD ACCEPT THIS KIND IF WORLD IF WE HAVE NO DESIRE TO CONTROL OR MANIPULATE OTHERS. MOST PEOPLE ESPECIALLY SELF AWARE PEOPLE DONT WANT TO CONTROL OTHERS AND DONT LIKE TO BE CONTROLLED. But still FOR SOME REASON WE JUST ACCEPT THAT EVERYONE LIES AND THATS JUST THE WAY IT IS. THE TRUTH IS ITS NOT BECAUSE THAT’S JUST THE WAY IT IS, BUT THE PEOPLE THAT CONTROL THIS WORLD HAVE MADE US BELIEVE THAT LYING AND CONFUSION IS NORMAL and no big deal because everyone lies so it’s ok. 🙃 AND WE ARE RESPONSIBLE BECAUSE WE CHOOSE TO BELIEVE THATS NORMAL WHEN ITS NOT. THE TRUTH WE CAN ALL AGREE ON IS: OUTSIDE OF FEAR AND DESIRE TO DOMINATE OR MANIPULATE THERES literally no other reason why people lie. Some people lie just because they can and that’s the reason I would actually respect except they only do it because they don’t realize the harm. I’m speaking as someone who is completely free of the desire to control or manipulate anyone and Im so painfully aware of the bad karma that comes from Lying that I simply choose not to and face the truth instead, knowing its the path of least misery. My life has dramatically changed ever since I made the commitment to not condone speaking any lies for any reason and also making it known to everyone I deal with that I will be quick to cut off anyone that feels it’s ok to lie or manipulate. I came to understand this simple truth of why we lie and it’s become clear the only thing that can be born of lies is more suffering for the one who does it. I promise if we can all just realize this, SO MANY OF OUR PROBLEMS WOULD JUST DISAPPEAR. THEY ONLY EXIST BECAUSE WE ARE NOT AWARE OF HOW THINGS ACTUALLY WORK AND HAVE ACCEPTED BELIEVING WHAT WERE TOLD and treat that as truth. THE ONLY REASON WHY ANYONE LIES IS OUT OF FEAR AND WE FALL FOR THE LIE THAT LYING WILL PROTECT US FROM SUFFERING THE REALITY Of things BUT THATS TRULY THE LIE. IT CAN ONLY EVER CREATE MORE SUFFERING. TRUTH NO MATTER HOW PAINFUL CAN ONLY EVER BRING GOOD TO YOUR LIFE. BASICALLY ITS NEVER BAD TO TELL THE TRUTH NO MATTER HOW HARD IT IS TO SAY, ONLY GOOD THINGS WILL COME FROM YOU SAYING IT. IN THE SAME WAY ITS NEVER GOOD TO LIE NO MATTER HOW MUCH IT SEEMS LIKE lying IS GONNA BENEFIT YOU In THE MOMENT THE TRUTH IS THAT IT WILL ONLY BRING YOU MORE MISFORTUNE. IF MANKIND COULD ONLY REALIZE THIS ONE SIMPLE THING WE WOULD NATURALLY AND EFFORTLESSLY CREATE AN ALMOST PERFECT WORLD. WE ASSUME THE WORLD IS DESTINED TO BE UNFAIR AND UNJUST AND MESSED UP ALL AROUND WHEN THE TRUTH IS ITS ACTUALLY DESTINED TO BE A PARADISE BUT A HANDFUL OF BAD APPLES HAVE UNCONSCIOUSLY MADE SUCH A GRAND EFFORT TO CREATE THIS HELL WE FIND OURSELVES IN. GODS RESPONSE TO THESE “BAD APPLES” IS ANYONE WHO ❤️‍🔥GENUINELY LOVES❤️‍🔥AND SEEKS THE TRUTH AND THATS ALL I ASK OF ANYONE TO BE ABLE TO CONSIDER THEM MY FAMILY. AND I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO CUT OFF MY OWN FLESH AND BLOOD IF THEY PROVE TO HATE TRUTH. And I hope that no one feels Iike my enemy just because our beliefs are different because I wouldn’t. ANYONE WHO LOVES TRUTH IS MY LOVER BECAUSE MY LOYALTY WILL ALWAYS BE TO THE TRUTH THAT ALREADY IS. BECAUSE OF THIS I CAN SHARE A BOND WITH SO MANY PEOPLE THROUGHOUT SO MANY DIFFERENT BELIEFS AND BACKGROUNDS AND HAVE BEEN ABLE TO APPRECIATE THE THINGS THAT COMPLETELY TRANSCEND OUR DIFFERENCES. LOVERS OF ❤️‍🔥TRUTH❤️‍🔥 VS ❤️‍🔥LOVERS❤️‍🔥 OF LIES The ego hates facing truth and admitting being wrong. Awareness IS THE LIVING TRUTH that fears NOTHING. SOMEONE WHO LOVES LIES IS NOT INFERIOR TO ONE WHO LOVES TRUTH. BOTH ARE LOVED EQUALLY BUT ITS JUST THE LAW OF LIFE THAT GOOD CONSEQUENCES COME HAND IN HAND WITH TRUTH AND NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES GO HAND IN HAND WITH LIES. I LOVE A LIAR NO MORE OR LESS THAN A TRUTHER I’m simply trying to expose the reality of what motivates anyone to lie and the consequences that inevitably comes with all lies. I simply wish that everyone can understand the reality of what a lie is and how it’s impossible for anyone to justify any lie no matter how white. The white ones can actually do the most harm. For example, Satan clause❤️‍🔥🤥❤️‍🔥 Go ahead and lie all you want but accept that you did it because you were either afraid or trying to manipulate others or simply ignorant of the bad karma you prove to deserve. If someone catches you in a lie, And you double down on that lie 😱 instead of coming clean. The consequences are no joke. Don’t be surprised or confused when it seems like misfortune comes out the blue. MY LIFE HAS NEVER BEEN THE SAME SIMPLY BECAUSE I ACCEPTED THE FACT THAT I AM A LIAR!!!!!!! AND BECAUSE I ACCEPTED THAT FACT I WAS ABLE TO COME TO THE REALIZATION THAT ALL MY MISFORTUNE THAT SEEMINGLY FOLLOWED ME WHEREVER I WENT CAN BE TRACED BACK TO A LIE I TOLD OR A LIE I CHOOSE TO BELIEVE. UNDERSTANDING The CONSEQUENCES OF SPEAKING OR BEING TRICKED BY LIES GIVES ONE ALL THE MOTIVATION IN THE WORLD TO NOT DO IT. Big surprise my life is now full of good fortune, peace, love happiness and wisdom only because I realized the truth behind my Motivation to lie and the inevitable consequences that come with it. IT STARTS WITH FACING THE FACT THAT WE ARE FILTHY LIARS THROUGH AND THROUGH. ONLY BECAUSE I WAS ABLE TO ACCEPT THAT HARSH REALITY, I WAS ABLE TO ADJUST AND EVERYDAY IM REMINDED HOW THIS SIMPLE REALIZATION and SHIFT IN UNDERSTANDING IS RESPONSIBLE FOR WHY IT SEEMS LIKE LIFE CONSTANTLY SHOWERS ME WITH BLESSINGS NO MATTER WHAT WHEN BEFORE IT SEEMED LIKE I WAS CURSED NO MATTER WHAT. We are taught to deal with problems by throwing shame and resistance at it but there is nothing the ego secretly loves more than shame and resistance. most of our problems exist due to lack of understanding which creates lack of compassion, Which creates even more unnecessary misery, When all that was needed was a little self awareness mixed with absolute acceptance and an ocean of ❤️‍🔥SELF LOVE❤️‍🔥 To see that Perfection was always our birthright and we just have to flow in harmony with ❤️‍🔥TRUTH❤️‍🔥

We're all just sick of ourselves!!

There is no community.

True, but you just did what you said one shouldn't do. "Experience" is not "just is".

@@RamSamudrala can you expand on this for clarity

@@user-lm9vp2eh1l Isn't your post also a pointing? And the statement of separation is yet another label. You also wrote "raw experience" but awakening/enlightenment, etc. is not yet another experience by the personal self/ego. Experience of what? And experienced by whom? Awareness doesn't need to awaken and in its infinite capacity is the sum of all experience. So enlightenment/awakening cannot be an experience was my point. It's just a comment on the limitations of language I suppose. I understand your comment but when you try to make the comment as you did, you fall into the very trap you're trying to avoid.

@@RamSamudrala Thankyou brother

I'm sorry you didn't get it.

@@JohnSmith-ks5xw respectfully, I did get it. I've been listening to his work for years. I just think it's one of the poor videos that actually explains it

@@innercompass9 Rupert always makes compassionate concession to the questioner. So the answer adapts to the level of the question.

@@calvinrakotobe5583 this is not about the concessions. It for me didn't address the question and he was all over the map undermining his previous statement

@@innercompass9 The questioner believes that there is something called "suffering" (in other words, the forgetting or veiling of awareness), because she believes in the existence of something called "a thought". So Rupert take this fundamendal presumption - I am awareness but the body-mind can veiled myself - into account and shows her the third step of the non-dual teaching : there is only awareness (only the screen) so there is no need to repress, control or avoid thinking since it's only an expression of the infinite potential of awareness. Also the goal of non-dual teaching is to contradict every statement that is made till the mind is effortlessly and naturally brought to an end. In the realm of language or thought, there is only relative truth. Hence, we always have the possibility to contradict a statement that is spoken by a limited body-mind. Even the statement "I am" can be contradict. "I am" makes only sense in reference to what "I am not", hence it credits implicitly the existence of things in parallel with the Absolute. So words can never describe reality. That's why Ramana Maharshi always emphasized that the highest teaching is transmitted in silence. So really, we should not dissect every word that is puts forward in this teaching because don't forget that ultimately awareness cannot be described. Remember that the goal of the teaching is to be efficient, not to be precise. Has Rupert in this video be efficient in evoking the Absolute in the lady's experience? I think so. That's also why the transmission method favoured by the ancient sages was always spoken language. For if we begin to write down these non-dual teachings, we run the risk of seeing the emergence of religions and thus the accentuation of separation (hence the wars of religion), which is what actually happened 2-3 millennia ago. So I advise you to see Rupert's videos as piece of art. Look and listen from the Heart, not from the mind, and you will see that the transmission of the non-dual principle is really an art in itself : the art of evoking That which cannot be evoked, which is the true function of an artist.

and who are YOU referring to when YOU speak of lord buddha?

My friend when you come to understand that we are all messed up, you can forgive yourself. You mess up your children but who messed you up? Your parents? And who messed them up? Your grandparents? And so on, when does it stop? It doesn't in this world. All separate selves are messed up. Besides the world isn't reality. It's like the dream you had last night in your sleep. If you had dreamed you were a serial killer would you have turned yourself over to police when you woke in the morning? No of course not, it was only a dream and then you dreamed you woke up and were a bad mother. Be free, you are not who you think you are. You are so much more.

@@lindalangdon9406 thank you!!! I know intellectually this is true, I am bombarded with the ways I perpetuated family behaviors! I am sober 37 years and stopped so much, but my own fear and anger came out as yelling all the time!! I am in therapy and I listen to Rupert often! Ty again!!

Forgive yourself. When we know better we do better. You were on a lower level of understanding then, probably acting out of previous influences. Forgive yourself and just Love. Beginning with yourself.

In daily life we experience the dream as real. When we awake, there no longer is daily life. We are the one, Brahman, only.

A lot of non dualists stuck in the who am I, analytical enquiry.

oooh i like that

okay Shiva, funny arguments you have. But really, everyone must go home some day. For some, it is early, for some, later. Everything leads to liberation eventually.

Shiva is not to be confused with the popular Hindu god. Shiva is just a name for all there is... Infinite consciousness.

i didn't imply that it wasn't

Because ultimately that's all there is.

What else could thought be other than awareness when awareness is all that is. Everything is consciousness

If I understand correctly, thoughts are not awareness. Awareness is thought. 😀

awareness take the form of thought and forget itself, then assume itself as thought but ultimately it can only be awareness. We take the form of partial experience and forget we as awareness never deviate from awareness as it is.

Try to look around for awareness. Where is it? I made up a game by which you can become aware what consciousness is exactly and where it is. If you want, i can tell you how to do it

Yes, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Father being God (or infinite awareness) the Son being the physical universe (including humanity) and the Holy Spirit being the universal consciousness which links the two.

The internet was created for these kinds of discussions. Consciousness networking with other consciousnesses and to celebrate the diversity of forms of infinite awareness.

The world is not REAL. It is a dream from which NOBODY wakes up except the dreamer, i.e. consciousness. When a gold brcelet or ring is melted, it is still the same gold unaffected by the ring or brecelet it was once formed as. There is no gold AND ring, just gold. That which never existed, never comes to be real and that which exsit never becomes unreal.

It's all a dream of consciousness. Consciousness itself doesn't suffer.
