Do We Need to Stop Thought to Abide as Being?

[@minaot6640]

That guy's questions are critical. This conversation is important. Everybody who is alive is aware of their surroundings, but this conversation is about something else, something more - being in a different state, let's call it powerfully full awareness, such that the thoughts are completely not there and the life experience is so different you are not looking for meditation or spiritual teachers because you don't feel something is wrong. The difference between just being aware of your surroundings plus your thoughts, perceptions, emotions on the one hand and being in the powerful full awareness, on the other hand, is mentally more significant than the difference between managing life - work, home, leisure, etc, "normally" and being institutionalised and medicated to cope.

Rupert has a great voice and is very articulate.Very good for beginners.

Rupert is always so very clear and succinct, to those who can hear. 💝

Beautifully articulated, thank you Rupert . Happy Dussehra 🙏

It was. I’m seeing Rupert speak in December. This was going to be one of my questions for him. His articulation of this subject is profound.

Thank you! Could we transform ourselves or our usual condition of mind by means of only knowledge about consciousness? What is the purpose of our spiritual practices: transformation of myself or explanation the structure and mode of functioning of the awareness? It seems to me the knowledge is only a part of spiritual practice and it isn't sufficient for a real transformation of our life.

[@algirdasliutkevicius5102]

You are right. Knowledge about non duality is what happens when you taste non duality when mind is still present. Mind creates a baggage out of that. But it is a natural part of the spiritual journey. You become a student of non duality, then teacher of non duality and finally the non duality itself.

[@mulen-x8u]

@@algirdasliutkevicius5102 Ok! If you choose the non duality with faith and love I beleive non duality will also choose you.

But if you're thinking, you're definitely not being aware of being aware. So, technically, the thinking must stop but not with force. Just with a knowing that you don't have to always think. Everything exists in awareness.

Simple explanation for this is while doing some activities with the physical body's do we feel thouse activities and you are the same no we both are different from each other the work and ourselves just like thoughts and your consciousness energy's are different , consciousness energy's are the continuous involves in the dwelling process of thoughts but both aren't same one can abide from the thought from the consciousness energy's.

here we go again with the movie analogy. Awareness is to be aware of one's surrounds in accordance with that one must abide by. basically, it's not your choice to abide or not.

[@ultrablue7477]

HE LIKES THE SCREEN....that's why he posts on KZbin

[@rajeevsandhir]

A person can not be aware of himself or herself or surroundings. You and your surroundings are known through the same very awareness, albeit a limited one. The movie and screen is an analogy after all but is the closest! Please contemplate !

[@chiptowers1]

@@rajeevsandhir Close enough is not good enough. It must be exact. Otherwise everything that is said, will not fit, ever. So, if someone over indulges, especially that of alcohol, what is telling himself to be aware because he is over indulging. You your lineage inception was initially FORMED ( fused elements of the universe) not BORN ( biology) and both are in a symbiotic relationship. You are duality in more ways than one. That within that FORMED is telling its host the BORN that it is over indulging. That within that FORMED is aware of it's surrounds for its very survival and to evolve it's host the BORN. How do you think your lineage has come thus far, definitely not from so called teachers analogies and their beliefs that are close enough.

*"LIFE The Real Self" ( "AWARENESS" ) does NOT think ! It only Observers... Thinking involves a "Process" such as is of the brain !* *Sadly the human Genome contains DOUBLE LOGIC, which Adversely Affects ALL human functions, including "Thought" and "Reason" !*
