Күн бұрын

In this interview Rupert Spira answers questions related to realization, individual character, mistaken projections onto spiritual teachers and more. Some of the questions discussed are: Is personal development necessary for realization? and Does awareness need an individual mind to know itself?
This interview is featured in the "Science and Nonduality Anthology Vol.4".
From an early age Rupert was deeply interested in the nature of Reality. For twenty years he studied the teachings of Ouspensky, Krishnamurti, Rumi, Shankaracharya, Ramana Maharshi, Nisargadatta and Robert Adams, until he met his teacher, Francis Lucille, twelve years ago. Francis introduced Rupert to the teaching of Jean Klein, Parmenides, Wei Wu Wei and Atmananda Krishnamenon and, more importantly, directly indicated to him the true nature of experience.
Rupert’s first book is “The Transparency of Things”, subtitled “Contemplating the Nature of Experience”. His second book, Presence Volume I The Art of Peace and Happiness and Presence Volume II The Intimacy of All Experience has been currently released by Non-Duality Press.

@@SuperNaidenov He is talking about that your not the mind, body, ego construct. He clearly is able to put into words that your the Infinate awareness which created contiousness and the visible world as you know it. It's deeper than you might even consider, yet it's the truth and this can be experienced and known only within you. This source we call God is one and the same with all that is. It's hard to speak about because that source isn't anything in essence. It's no thing becoming something. Yet it's one with all things but not affected by them cause it knows no death. In other words death is an illusion and so is the world and universe. You must investigate this for your self is what is being suggested. No one can teach it to you they can only point it out. If by grace your able to see it then it can free you from the limited thought that your a person. Your not! Your much greater than you can imagine. This has nothing to do with ego or identity of any sort in fact it's the death of identity and the person as well. Hope I was able to help you. God bless and many wishes of clarity and liberation for you.

Big fan of Rupert and his teachings. Although what he says about in indian culture , that it’s being taught to disgust the body and the world, is actually opposite of being a witness or ‘Sakshi’. Being witness means you don’t judge or despise anything , it’s the 101 reaching. it gives you a point of view beyond the 4 dimensions . And having a feeling of disgust is a Judgment and a limited point of view. He should not go discarding the very place and teachers he learned everything from, as what they are saying might be part of a bigger plan or next level teaching. Usually gurus say what you need to hear to direct you to the right path. Good analogy is :Use the sword to slay the dragon and then burn the sword to avoid further violence. but I still love and follow his teachings as it will be hard to find some other being with such an amazing clarity.

I liked this video but it frustrated the heck out of me that the last question (Does awareness need an individual mind to know itself?) wasn't followed up by the at least to me obvious question: If awareness does not need an individual mind to know itself, then why did it create all of this - our world and us humans with our minds in the dark, in suffering and feeling separate? For it's own entertainment?
@emind0881
@emind0881 5 жыл бұрын
It's a bit difficult to try to explain this mystery. The truth is that awareness or emptiness isn't empty it's full but can't be named nor expressed with words. It's fullness has no need or lack of any sort, their is no separation it pure love and oneness. It needs no reason for it's beingness. It just is what it is pure aliveness. The mind which was created by it only can percive and understand forms and concepts. It can't never know the formless because the formless is empty of content. It is pure knowing with out concepts. It's impossible for something to know it. It can only be experienced by it's own direct source. Mind is a construct of awareness it has no reality outside of it, but the mind function is specific to the created universe and world. It can be said that awareness which is essentially you, me and every living thing is all one. Yet awareness for no reason has created the ability to express it's greatness and all possibilities infinately. In truth what is being brought to light is that their is no death only the illusion of death. Life is all their is in truth, yet the dichotomy is that nothing ever happened no one was ever born and no one ever died. It is all apparently an experience but not the truth. The truth can't be known because it's unknowable. Their was never a beginning nor an ending. No thing can know God because he isn't anything. Only itself can be experienced. It's a mind f*#k for the mind only. The awareness in you! That is source. That is you as well. When you realize this and it is seen through then the veil is lifted and it free you from it's illusion of world. Like Jesus said the truth that surpasses all understanding. This truth swallows up death cause in truth death isn't real. It's a sort of experience so ironically the world we call life is death, because nothing last imperminace and all things seem separate yet are not. The illusion of separation created by mind causes suffering. In truth separation is false yet it must be seen thru so that realization and liberation can manifest itself into your life. I hope I was able to help.

This is the issue of an enquiry by only the mind and direct experience. It can’t go beyond the experiencer or awarer, so it’s stops at a false conclusion that awareness is it. Awareness is ignorant of how it came to be. So Rupert might sit smugly in his ocean but it’s not Truth.

Awakening to Oneness is love itself and the realization that there is only One of us. It is not possible to love any one form more or less if one is fully awakened. It's all love. Life in form is the paradox that requires us to make a living and what better way to make a living than to spread love. Best wishes.

I dont sense any type of mastery in this person or any of these so called modern gurus. They dont seem to have suffered at all and have easy lives; that makes it easy to be positive and speak positive words to people which they like and then in turn respect the person based of this but it has nothing to do with true wisdom about overcoming the massive suffering this reality has to offer. In fact they never even mention these negative things in life to any detail as most of them have no experience with them at all. I say 95% of them have no wisdom about suffering physically which is the hardest to overcome as the laws of physics are in place. In fact this guy is a family man i bet if he lost his family or a loved one hed turn to the bottle like many people do. I hate to say it but most of these modern gurus i dont sense any wisdom in their words except being blind optimists that had no answers to the severe problems in life. I could be wrong but thats what i see and i have had a very rough and troubled life in which none of these guys have any answers too. Easy example if your in severe pain of any type like having your wisdom teeth removed you get painkillers cause the pain is too intense; this guy is subject to those laws and does the exact same thing to deal with it he doesnt meditate or have any spiritual powers to heal that tooth or deal with it than our already primitive crappy solution of drugs. Whereas Christ would have healed his tooth as he was a true master. Just like if this guy was mugged or attacked in public by some crazy person hed be just as traumatized as the next guy or subject to the harm caused by it. What miracles has this guy performed? Why does he even have any recognition just like Eckhart Tolle? Or any of them what miracles have they preformed proving their mastery? None

It's fine. You just have it wrong. "Modern gurus" might have had peaceful lives prior to waking up, or they might have suffered plenty. Either way, someone who is aware of the truth that what a human being really is, deep down, is the awareness of all that is happening at this current moment, then you are also someone who understands that everything that you believe is "my life" is actually just your brain's memory system that has established a belief of who you are based on past experiences and what people have told you. What you REALLY are is the thing behind it all...the screen of your eyes, the thing that receives hearing, the thing that feels touch, etc. A moden guru's family might die in a plane crash, leaving him all alone. He certainly might turn to the bottle if his external circumstances force him to (you can't even control your thoughts...no one realizes that). But it is more likely for a guru to understand that his family members will find life once again in another form, just as we did in this one, and might be able to handle the tragedy with more grace and understanding.

To realise that we are not a separate self. The Body/mind is a activity of consciousness, a concentration of awareness. When you are not happy, not happy then you seek this happiness that is who you are, yet veiled by the conditioning we are born into. We are happy covered over by our human conditioning. It takes courage to give up the separate self, yet it's not giving up a personality, but being with our True self. Rupert is a teacher you can trust, he will guide you through back to you. ( I read ACIM as well, this helps to be free from my mind and body.) In summary, we are not separate yet our body can be a communicator to get back to our True home, true in happy at home in God. We are the prodigal Son, gone for awhile to realize that we are still home, but dreaming we are on this earth, stuck and unhappy. Inner peace is your true Nature.
