Are Our Minds Connected?

Are our minds connected? How can we explain synchronicity? And how does intuition work? A man says that he developed a strong intuition to see his father shortly before his father died. He asks if this can be explained using the consciousness-only model.
Rupert says: ‘The universe is a dream in the one mind of consciousness, and we are all localisations in the dreamer’s mind. So, not only are all individuals profoundly connected, but we and the environment are all part of the same system. Therefore, the fact that synchronicities appear shouldn’t be surprising.
‘To use the dream analogy: If two people meet in a dream, both of their minds are manifestations of the same thing - the dreamer’s mind. There is a connection between them, and it would be quite plausible for one to intuit what the other was thinking. Information could pass subliminally from one mind to the other because they are both localisations of the same mind.’

The Silence within you is the greatest teacher. All these so called spiritual teachers are here to satisfy the mind's curiosity. A curious mind is 'better' than a mind full of so many conclusions. Conclusions about this thing called truth or reality. But in the end, Silence is the greatest destroyer of knowledge because all kinds of knowledge (spiritual, religious or scientific knowledge) is the hindrance to the simplicity, miracle, mystery and beauty of Life. Life is an eternal mystery. No mind can ever capture its mystery.

[@skpince]

Well said.

[@Jamesgarethmorgan]

Yeah but there ain't nothin' wrong wif talkin' neither.

[@Aed-Marwan]

God is the Most Great, all praise and glory belongs to God, there is no god or divinity but God, none are worthy of worship except God, every single thing moving who has breathed will see and witness God, God is the King and Protector and Lord and Light and Ruler and Controller and Father and Creator of the heavens and the earth and everything in them! ---------- Silence doesn't destroy Knowledge, Knowledge is an inherent part of consciousness, God giving you Knowledge, what silence does is to destroy the parts of the mind which needs to be destroyed, also ignoring it to death is one technique given by God against the mind. Silence is used against the false parts of the mind which needs to be destroyed. Knowledge, True Absolute Knowledge (coming from God) is never destroyed. God is Alive.

As usual, a beautiful question and a beautiful response. Thank you both😊

[@faaradar]

This explains something I have experienced several times in dreams. I have had dreams where I knew something would or had happened that seemed impossible for me to have known without esp or something similar. Now I see it was because of the dreamed mind being behind and connected was giving me these supernatural experiences.

[@troyortego4655]

Rupert has an answer for everything... always happy to interrupt as well... bless his heart... just way tooo "Heady" for me... He's always trying to have one experience "IT" but I don't get that people in his "retreats" do... similar to Krishnamurti... whom I believe he quotes as saying... after 30 years of forum..."Do you want to know my secret?- I don't mind what happens"

[@markosborne6856]

Thank you. I have felt the sychronicties with others has happened to me recently. This resonates with me. I don't want to go into all of this on here.

[@108lukas]

Thanx as Always Rupert and thanx Chris for your question ❤ A very clarifying exchange indeed! I wonder if it would be too much of a stretch to suggest that perhaps EVERY element of our EVERY experience is a synchronistic event, calling us back Home again..❤?

[@annakarl9989]

Hello Sirs 💞 Thank you for exploring and sharing, wonderful 🤗💞

[@Jamesgarethmorgan]

Very interesting thanks.

Do the mind-made characters within the dream state themselves have their own subjective conscious experience? If so, this seems like "fractal consciousness". The infinite field of consciousness ("God") dreams us, and then we dream up characters within our personal minds. God's dream characters (we mortals) are conscious like Him ("created in His image"). Perhaps our mind-made dream characters are conscious like us (made in our image). The same phenomena occurring at multiple nested scales -- a fractal.

[@evandercaldwell9993]

Curious what Rupert has to say about Spirit Guides and the Laws that apply in "Higher" Realms and Samsara/Dharma/Reincarnation!!

[@maggiv5401]

Not sure, but my understanding is everything is just appearances and consciousness and equally illusory. But apparently illusions can be useful mythologies.

The Noosphere is back: "The Noosphere is the sphere of thought enveloping the Earth. The word comes from the Greek noos (mind) and sphaira (sphere)"

[@panayiotisrock]

i had a similar thought from the Pythagoreans All is One. One is All, and from One many, and from many One.

[@cabsrhere8897]

So is consciousness experiencing itself vibrating (tantric path) or is consciousness experiencing its dream (advaita)?

[@johnb8854]

*"AWARENESS" or "LIFE The Real Self" does NOT Vibrate as it is Non-Dimensional... Vibration involves Dimension i.e. Space and Time !* *"As for Consciousness, it is only the "LINK" between "AWARENESS" and the Brain...*

[@chiptowers1]

Sounds like the man wants to reconcile with his father under his terms according to his mind. No wonder his father had an aneurysm. Quote; "Being in the divine name". Bringing the divine into a conversion is just added value to justify whats being said without proof. WHAT!, quote; " if the ultimate reality of the universe is consciousness", what a ridiculous statement to suggest because thats all it is, a suggestion to plant a seed. REALITY couldn't care less what state of consciousness is nor what anyone perceives. More so consciousness did not create a big bang. If this so called teacher thinks consciousness is the be all end all of everything like all other teachers and guru's do because they all parrot each other, then all teachers should be capable of moving matter, such as a rock, with only their mind. Mind and consciousness cannot FORM anything, especially not the human physical body and brain. More so , quote; " mind on the inside and mind on the outside", even that statement couldn't be said without Being a physical human body and brain. Try saying that if you are only consciousness. This so called teacher is using too many " if's", if this if that. He is just making up stories like a Harry Potter fiction. Synchronicity is a natural occurrence of events, there is nothing magical about it because events can be determined to a degree and THEN IT ALL FITS AFTER THE FACT. Hello!

[@maggiv5401]

What about situations like I had where I had been living overseas for a few years and got the very strong sense that I needed to go back home because I didn’t know how long my parents were gonna be around. My father lived for another 20 years and my mother lived for nearly another 30 years. I was way off.

[@Jhawk_2k]

It's no different, ultimately. Perhaps in some alternative reality (which can't possibly exist) your parents wouldn't have survived that long had you stayed overseas. We really can't ever hope to know how this all works

[@maggiv5401]

@@Jhawk_2k I didn’t think the segment was about whether our premonitions somehow affect events. but I pretty much agree that most of the speculation about how something works or why it works a particular way is just what a mind does. If our actions have some kind of effect, it’s not due to our illusory separate self nor likely to any reason that a mind can come up with.

[@charliebrens3349]

There is nothing that isn’t connected. Known or unknown.

[@TheDeepening718]

If you knew what Karma really is, you wouldn't be asking this question. Minds are empty (interdependent). This is not 'being connected'. According to your principles, where is one mind to be connected to another? 'Aham VRITTI' not 'Aham reality' 'Aham VRITTI'

[@karenbrown4294]

Why do you think you are right? It's a good question, and I believe we are connected to the same thoughts, you are no more right than I am? ❤

[@maggiv5401]

Please tell us what karma really is.

[@Aed-Marwan]

God is the Most Great, God is the Most Great, I testify that there is no god but God, I testify that there is no god but God, none has the right to be worshipped except God, the birds and everything in the heavens and the earth everything in between them and everything in the entire universe praise God, God is the King and Protector and Lord and Light and Ruler and Controller and Creator of the heavens and the earth and everything in them! ---------- The fact that our minds are inter-connected is easy, just do telepathy (it's real) with someone, or go high enough and start seeing other people do what you tell them to do through your mind. Karma on the other hand is the real Law of reality that says, if you use your free will (eve due limited) to choose to do an immoral or evil act, you will suffer the consequences of it (you will be punished), either in this life or the next or both. None is above this Law nor can anyone escape it. All humans are under it. God is Alive.

[@gireeshneroth7127]

The mind wakes into itself, sleeps into itself and dreams into itself. When it breaks into itself it ends up being pure consciousness.Because it's been consciousness living a mind wake by waking, dreaming and sleeping into itself living an illusion that it weaves out of itself.
