Even if we have understood the true source of happiness and given up the search for happiness in objective experience, we may still feel unfulfilled, unhappy or dissatisfied. Why does our experience seem to contradict our understanding?
Rupert says: ‘Even those of us that have been exploring these matters for a long time need to ask ourselves: “Do I just subscribe to the understanding, or has this seeking impulse really been undone?” Because when our mind stops seeking on the surface, there are deeper layers of seeking that remain at an energetic level - and these layers can’t be reasoned away.
‘So we need to be very honest with ourselves and allow this understanding to penetrate deeply - not only into the way we think, but also into the body and our feelings. Once we’ve seen clearly - not just had a vague notion of it - the utter impossibility that objects, substances, activities, states of mind and relationships can bring us happiness, our happiness-seeking project in the world comes to an end. It loses its power and peters out.’

It's utterly clear to me there is not one thing "out there" that will make me happy or bring me happiness.

Without Rupert i would have never experienced how beautiful life really is.

@@qigonglove1240 The first time i really got it was when i was remembering one of Ruperts statements: "Knowing of being is Happiness itself". Investigate that statement until you either can say that it is true or until you have a better definition. Today "being" is a strong connector on its own for me, a few years ago i needed to add "alive" to it to really take me there. Find your keyword that takes you to the knowledge of being and you will see.

Basically if we didn’t get our needs met as children we felt pain. This we repressed. Then we form selves or personality as defences against this pain and as an attempt to meet our unmet needs. We are therefore going the wrong way. These attempts can never resolve our unmet needs or resolve our pain. Many if not all these attempts are addictions or dopamine fixes. The only way is to look inside.

All is one, there is not two. You know it already, you know it’s true. You can look and look but there’s nothing to find The truth’s just been hidden by the chatter of your mind. Oneness is here, now - not somewhere above Oneness is All, oneness is LOVE. See it and a smile on your face will appear Your life filled with JOY and nothing to fear.

About the hardest thing to do/witness. The seeking mechanism is very strong but not stronger than I am

@dano7739 Ай бұрын

The seeking is perfect too. It, like understanding, arises within consciousness.

God is everything, everything is God! As a result, everything is perfect as it is! What is the lesson from this ? In being, creation ( you - I ) is perfect and one with God. But not in doing ! With doing you are no longer in being . Yes, and then "you" seek happiness 🥰 in doing 🙈, but that is in being 🫵😜. Because only in being are you perfect again and one with God 🥰 And there is also home 🤩🙏. Yes, and from home 👉 you can also easily "love your neighbour as yourself" 🥰 because you are consciously "ONE WITH EVERYTHING". YES AND THEN WE CAN PLAY PARADISE ON EARTH 🥰🪄🙏

5:07 I am so confused. Why are you not choosing? That is the Point of this Life. To Experience Duality and to Make choices. Yes I like and No I do not like. Why do so many want to walk the tightrope of Indecision? I have danced the dance of loss of taste, touch, desires, addictions, illness’. I stood upon that platform and said to myself, “Wtf?!? No this is not what Being Human is!” It’s not about shedding anything to find a “core” “deep” understanding of 💩. It’s about Knowing You Are Love. With the 💩 and the 👼🏼 both. Pick the Flavors of Life. You all are investing Way too much precious time on “how we live as plasma beings” and are Forgetting to enjoy Being Human. Come Play in these Bodies Sweet Brother. For soon the Dream will Fade Away. Ⓜ️🌻🧡

Is the quality of happiness after getting an object is the same as what we get after the separate self is no more? Just that the happiness because of the object does not last forever?

am your sister from Yemen, and by Allah I only spoke out of hunger and distress. My mother, my brothers, and I lessons and tears. We are in a situation that only God knows about. God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs for those who brought us to this situation. By Allah Almighty, I did not write this appeal out of distress and distress. Poverty, O world, they have felt it So, I hope for you. By Allah Almighty, Lord of the Great Throne, he ate what I had in the house. By Allah, my brothers, he is my brothers by sitting in the house. Who has no food? By God, we are in a very difficult situation. We have 4 people entering the house, and my father hasdied, and there is no one who can depend on us and who lives in it.We live in a rented house because we cannot pay the rent we owe. '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''' My brother, my first words are: I swear to God that I will not lie to you or deceive you. I am a Yemeni girl displaced from the war. My family and I live in a rented house in Al-Shahrab 20,000 Yemenis among us, and now we owe 60,000 for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of the people who does not have mercy, by God, my brother. He comes every day, insulting us, talking about us, and moving from the house to the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. The neighborssaw us crying and came back.They came back to talk to the neighbors and we were given the weekend. So we made him swear by God. He will take us out into the street. Have mercy on him and us. Our country is due to this war and we do not find food for our day, and my brothers and I live in a difficult life. Our father died, may God have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world who was with us in these harsh circumstances. My younger brothers went out into the street and saw...The neighbors eat and stand at their door in order to give them bread even if they break it. By God, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and expelled them and came back crying. They are dying of hunger. No one has mercy on them and a holiday is returned. I have made a living, and now if one of us helps us with a kilo of flour, I swear to God, I am dying of hunger. My brother, I am an alien to God. Then, I ask you to help me for the sake of God. I ask you, by God, to love goodness and to help me, even if you can, by messaging me on WhatsApp.On this number 00967772168484 and ask for the name of my card and send it and do not be late and may God reward you with all the best, my brothers Sagar, see how they are and help us and save us before they throw us out in the street, you will be lost or wewill die of hunger. My family and I ask you, by God, if you are able to help us, do not be late and may God reward you well..`/}--~«««~-♡~♡~♡~~•~•~♡...&&&**&*&*&**&)((()))))((((((((

That is impossible that the seperate self source FORM has limitations and especially impossible to deprive itself of its limitations. The seperate self source Form manifested from the fusing elements of the universe and has transcended. Meaning, because the seperate self has transcended, to transcend means " to go beyond the limits ", therefore it would be impossible for the Seperate Self Source Form return to it's origins because thats not it's purpose once it has Formed. This is unbelievable this so called teacher thinks that your lineage FORM has another Source of Origin it's being magnetically pulled to. Going by this so called teacher's reasoning, you now have your BEING ie your physical body and brain, then your Seperate Self Source ie your FORM within, and now a SOURCE origin where both the Seperate Self Source Form and your Being derived from. And still the so called teacher has not explained how all these Source's derived or manifested in real terms ie in reality. It's so easy to say without proof. You your lineage was initially FORMED not BORN.( your duality) You bet you are seperate self and being, that is the symbiotic relationship that benefits both parties. The whole Universe operates as a symbiotic entity. Your seperate self FORMED source will guide you to the compatible BEING of the opposite sex and it's been doing that for aeons of your individual lineage. Hello! This teacher is preaching misery. Your seperate self is happy as soon as it was FORMED for its purpose for your lineage. No need to seek anything. Just let it happen
