Everything Is Just a Dream in the Mind of Consciousness

[@MarkusMutscheller]

After studying Nisargadatta for many years, I am really warming up to Rupert. Same message, of course, just a different angle. So great to see non-dualism on the rise with more and more great living and accessible teachers like Eckhard Tolle, Adyashanti, Mooji and many more. It is the spiritual paradigm shift needed, away from corrupted organized religions and their vengeful Gods.

[@I-Am-Aware]

Thank you, Rupert, for sharing more of your insights. Absolutely true. it is definitely "different" (to say the least) to experience this, but it is unmistakable. Our apparent physicality has no more "existence" than so-called physical bodies and objects in dreams within the dream state. This is echoed by a quote from "The Tibetan Book of the Dead:" "Phenomena only 'exist' in the mind that perceives them." Namaste. 🙏🏻

[@wattaura7621]

Echoed as well by the 'whole' microcosm of the macrocosm. Stillness/Silence 'allows' one to "sea the motion in the ocean'. 😊

One ocean of consciousness, dancing with itself. Creating ripples within itself. The ripples complexity and form whirlpools. The ocean views itself through its whirlpools. What it sees when looking at itself, is determined by the sense perceiving faculties of the whirlpool through which it is looking through. When the ocean looks through a human whirlpool, it sees itself as a variety of separate objects. When the ocean localises itself as a whirlpool, it forgets that it’s the ocean. We gotta realise/remember that we’re all the ocean!

Having lucid dreams helps to get a grasp on this.

[@MarkusMutscheller]

@@pennywise5095 I am not aware that he ever claimed he, or anyone, has the power to change the script of this dream. As far as I understand it, it is simply realizing that all this has a dreamlike quality and that we are not what we think we are - a mind in a body. On this path, there is no desire to change a dream. The desire is to wake up from it and see it as it is.

[@wattaura7621]

Just heard something so profoundly beautiful....in so many words silence/stillness meant,' to practice dying' or 'death preparation'. The sentiment is to not have a fear of death as it will inevitably be a 'peaceful' natural one as a result (someday for everyone). Death of a separate self never born.

[@courtneybooooo]

I was at a point where I thought I had a grasp on this but for some reason this explanation brought me to tears, as if someone I loved had died. A wave of grief filled me and I couldn’t help but look at my hands and try to grasp that none of this is real, even though I already knew and believed this. And then I felt so overwhelmed with the beauty of it all, I cried even more.

[@MarkusMutscheller]

Beautiful. Sounds like an awakening experience. Of course, we grieve. We invested so much love into ourselves and our bodies. Anyone thinking this is a painless purely intellectual path is just not ready to face the pain of letting go of all these wonderful attachments. Everyone is happy to ditch the painful attachments, sure. But it is even more painful to ditch the beautiful attachments.

So often, I will sign in and KZbin kicks out a video that goes directly to what my intuition and investigation has been revealing. This is one of those. Perfectly describes what I have been pondering today, without any input. Rupert articulates it so well but is right to point out that he is merely shining a light on what it is that is compelling my mind, and giving it a voice. It's still very helpful to have this intuition and path of investigation confirmed by a master, as the mind loves to cast doubt as much as possible.

IT IS ALL REAL. To consciousness EVERYTHING is real. That is the whole point of existence. Learn all that is learnable....to know thyself. Everything is brought into existence by way of being experienced. It takes two. Me and not me(you). To me, everything that is not me is you. I experience you into existence, so that you can experience me and bring me into existence. Something can only exist(be known) relative to something else existing. How does one become aware of the color of ones eyes? You make two. Your reflection accomplishes this, it creates two out of one, so now you can learn the color of your eyes. Until your reflection is created, the color of your eyes does not exist(unknown)

As this is the foundation of your belief system, aside from blind faith, or mere acceptance of the trite statements of others, how do you know there is such a thing as "universal consciousness"? Likewise if you tell people "nothing is real" how does that benefit them when they have no personal realisation of this? Further I suggest that if you tell someone that nothing is real, and then out of faith they try to test this theory by jumping in front of a speeding train, it will not benefit them but quite to the opposite be very harmful.

This questioner's mind is the really sad victim of the anti-mystical culture we've been burdened with since the 18th century or so. He sees something mystical, mysterious, transcendent "in Rupert" (really in himself) but his conditioning pulls him back to make sassy 'oh c'mon let's be practical' attitude and everyone has a good lighthearted chuckle. The 'if the world isn't real why don't you get hit by a bus' trope epitomizes this so well. For asking such a serious question, you would do well to treat yourself with the respect you gave to your own inquiry. We're not being 'practical' when we act frivolously like this; in fact, the greatest physicists and mathematicians, who our Industrial Revolution society epitomizes as the most real/practical field, ALL had a humble, almost mystical sense of awe with what they were studying.

Hello Rupert, I’ve been following you for about five years now and I find you extremely good at explaining things so if I am just a dream in gods mind, where does my free will come into? It is everything I do just predetermined or do I actually have free will to choose one thing or the other?

[@ItApproaches]

Is no "God", and free will is just a belief. What have you actually chosen? You didn't choose to be "born", you didn't choose your bodies name, you don't choose how your body looks, ie, eye color, natural hair color, height, gender so on. You don't choose your family, you don't choose your friends as they are simply a result of proximity. You didn't choose where you grew up, or what kids were in kindergarten with you when you showed up. You didn't choose what foods your taste buds like, or what music or sounds are pleasing to your ears. You don't choose what political side you fall on or religion you find yourself in, you were conditioned into those. You don't even choose what to have for breakfast, it's just a pattern, a loop that stems from the journey up to that point. You don't choose anything, as there is no you.

There is no reality to it. When this experiencing structure is not manipulating consciousness my life is on big dream from the experience point of view. I give reality to things “ not only objects but feelings and experiences and think they are real. When I don’t translate these things in terms of accumulated knowledge, they are not things.

Personally I chose it because it did not involve airfare, since I live close by. I admit that is or can be a problem. However the fact that you're making a comment on a KZbin, which aside from the cost of the internet and the device you're using, is free kind of undercuts your premise. BTW, Eckhart Tolle is much more expensive. Just saying.

Simple answer is those who can go to retreat, they go and those who can't go read online/watch videos(self inquiry)and abide in self!

1 More question... how does your fantasyworld being created for blind people?? Who need to FEEL their way in this world???

[@TheAlex8675309]

Once you've had a real awakening, you know this is the truth. None of this exists. It's just a movie, a dream. I know; I experienced this.

[@taylormade2826]

Feels like a fine line between knowing all this or thinking your slowly going insane

[@TheAlex8675309]

Well, the thing is, "normal life" is also "god's" ( we need a new word, that one's ruined!) thoughts/ dream. So what that we don't exist? We also do, for a while. Creation is an incredible spectacle! Galaxies, sex, love, tiny insects, war, great food, sight, touch, imagination. There's so much to marvel at. But yes, one must be courageous; until you face down the ego a bit, you can go crazy! Many seekers are looking to make their lives better, to feel better , but the real point of seeking is to come home to what we really are, which is God. I hope that's comforting. My experience, which I spent years begging for, showed me the truth, and it helps, at least in facing death. The movie will end, and it's no big deal when it does, because - none of this is real, including our persons ! Just a dream , just a movie 🤠

Have you ever visited a holocaust museum?

[@TheAlex8675309]

@@threestars2164 I’ve read more than 100 holocaust books. The worst. But still, when the suffering of this often hellish world is , what’s revealed is the fact that it is like a dream. Our true being has no name, no suffering. Why does the world exist? I can’t tell you,but maybe god is bored…

[@peterscherba4138]

At 3:29 it is real only as a reflection, a temporary experience of an appearance. A point of a dreamed reality. Consciousness is an ALL existing of possibilities. Including impossibilities. This reality being one that isn't real. Yet, appears real. That is why we call it GOD

[@estherg.s.5650]

There is a big difference between saying that everything is made out of Consciousness and saying that everything is a dream. In the first case, everything is made out of Consciousness but it does exist. In the second case, it doesn't matter if everything is made out of Consciousness or not because the important thing is that It does not exist because It is just a dream. Can anybpdy tell me the right explanation, please? Thank you.

Much better than the fear based Christianity stuff

We’re characters in God’s dream.

[@MrKumfo]

No, we are God, playing characters in our own dream.

Are war and injustice and the like also "God's thoughts?" Or perhaps the refusal to hear God's thoughts?

Dreams seem real as all dreams do. But, it's still a dream. We're is the dream coming from? And what is the theme? If the dream is fear then we must change what is in the projector, from fear to love. Which entails changing teachers (the voice u listen to) there are only 2 to choose from...the ego; the voice of self righteousness, hate, judgement, jealousy and fear. Or the Holy Spirit; the voice of unconditional and universal Love, non judgement, kindness, and fearless. One will give you all the sorrows of a "world". The other the peace of God itself. The Holy Spirit will show you that you are the dreamer of the dream, how can there be anyone guilty in a dream? If you are dreaming you gave everyone their part to play in your little movie. That is for- giveness is the key to awakening from the dream entirely. I for-give my misperceptions, dis-ease, anger, hatred, pain to the Holy Spirit and in return I am given the correction: God's son is innocent and still as perfect as God created him to be and YOU are God's son. The more you practice forgiveness the more enlighten you become which is the awareness that you are dreaming but perfectly safe and able to awaken. You become what you really are...Spirit. there is no world of bodies except in the sons sleeping mind. All healing takes place when you invite the correct teacher. There are only 2 and you can't follow 2 masters.
