Guided Meditation: Make Your Whole Life a Prayer

In this guided meditation, Rupert reminds us that the peace and happiness for which we long are inherent to our being, they are not something we need to seek outside ourselves or in the future.
Rupert says: ‘The Pathless Path to happiness is from our self to our self. The first step we take here is to relax our seeking and come back to our self - back to being - the one being, or God’s being. But it is then necessary to return to the world and reconcile the recognition of our true nature with our experience of the world, otherwise, we still live in duality - albeit a kind of enlightened duality.
‘First, we just see the world. Then we see the world and the one reality that lies behind it. Lastly, we see the one being as the world. And for one who knows only the one, sees only the one, loves only the one, and is only the one, there are no longer any formal times of meditation or prayer. This is what they mean in the Orthodox Church when they speak of “praying without ceasing” - our whole life becomes a prayer.’

[@ChannelRealLife]

Thank you beloved one for directing me to find what it is I am instead of allowing me to remain lost in all that I am not

[@groundedunorthodoxy8000]

Ego-- the very activity of seeking itself. It sounded so neutral.

[@michaelfinkelstein8380]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@theQuietminds]

We start with nothing, we end with nothing. Our job is to keep it that way

[@mvn17997]

Rupert has been possibly the most influential 'teacher' to me in recent years. And I know for sure that eventually, I won't need him anymore. As my personal development journey started with other teachers of fundamentals, like Brene Brown. Still very grateful for what I learned from her, but I don't need her anymore. So it will be with Rupert, some time from now.

[@JackieJiddo]

Rupert is really gifted in GUIDING people to the dimension of inner stillness. Well done! 💚

[@joajoajb]

@Jackie Jiddo. Who or what is guiding who or what? Is Rupert guiding Existence Itself? Is Existence in need of a guidance? Perhaps not. Then, what? Self deception comes in many forms, often as ear candies. One can never be too careful when it comes to the absolute true nature of oneself or Existence as Is in Itself.

[@NinaKrebbers]

We go in, and then stay there mentally.

[@solarpoweredafricanvegansp178]

Rupert is out here changing lives for the better!!!

[@alainpluvinage1806]

Gratitude to the one as Rupert !

[@mindfulkayaker7737]

I love the term:”Enlightened Duality” In some way I feel that I have been stuck in this “state” for too many years. Thank you Rupert

[@razoo9]

The best meditation. Nothing else is needed. Love you rupert so much ❤❤❤

[@likewings07]

[@Mudita8028]

Thank you Rupert❤

[@malabuha]

Remembering what it felt like laying flat in a stroller on a beautiful day. The sounds. The warmth, the breeze, the perfect peace. I can still hear it, feel it, be there. From that peace i was hearing sounds that stirred a sense of wonder, an alertness. A baby knows nothing but of peace in that moment. Doesn't expect, doesn't regret, doesn't plan, or ruminate. Laying flat in the elements i was in wonder just paying attention, aware of being

[@WW11110]

Wow

[@divinenonbinary]

And then we keep searching for that, yearning for the past, not realizing what we want is presence and it’s right here

[@stevesmith8155]

Wow excellent. This is helpful, and is so exactly what is happening. I am slowly seeing through the prevalent ideas and concepts and seeing real more and more. I already spent a "life" in the normal real world and suffered for it. What a relief! Our society is overwhelmed with ideas. Abandon it.

[@levlevin182]

We seek what we know.

[@EuNicolinaArtista]

Magnífico ❤ Extraordinário ❤ Gratidão profunda e eterna ❤

[@marievam]

Thank You For your space of present awareness. It is from this space that you invite us to experience with ourselves, this space of listening awareness, where the listening and the awareness become undifferentiated.

[@robertroberts6901]

There is no thing I require. There is no future time. There is only infinite Being which I Am.

[@kathrynphillips3710]

Thankyou Rupert 🙏

[@libertyfreeman5982]

Thank you ❤

[@San-wq1tp]

Tudo que vem de Rupert é pura luz, Verdade. Mas não falo inglês e esta meditação não é legendada, então não pude acompanhar!

[@luismoref]

Se serve de consolo.. O mais importante está no silêncio 😊

[@johannboeing-messing979]

Thank you!

[@StanJarzabek]

Wonderful meditation, builds up intuitive understanding, please help me clarify: how different is sense of being, “I am” from awareness itself? Does sense of being appear in awareness just as other phenomena? Is resting in awareness the same as resting in the sense of being? Thank you Stan

[@johannboeing-messing6477]

Thank you.

[@annakarl9989]

[@flaviusdumitrescu7756]

Isn't this the exact same meditation as the "Awakening to Oness" meditation on this channel which has 133k views ? 🙏🏻🙂

[@divinenonbinary]

Just like searching for solutions is what creates a problem, dealing for unity is what creates separation 😳

[@buzzwordy9951]

Dead and brought back to life, to find out I doesn't even exist. Now freedom to just be. 😀

[@bihioualiomar8504]

J ' aime beaucoup les enseignants de Rupert, ils m'ont aidé à revenir à moi-même, mais c'est vraiment dommage que cette vidéo n'est pas traduite en français

[@kann5150]

I love Rupert, but Tony Parsons is a lot more fun.

*From "The Gospel of Thomas", Quote; 14. JESUS said to them: If you FAST, you will beget a sin upon yourselves;* *and if you PRAY, you will be CONDEMNED; and if you give alms, you will do evil to your spirits. End Quote...*

[@TheBhannah]

The ego that is trying to suppress itself from seeking is confused ?

[@joajoajb]

@TheBhannah. No need to be troubled by anyone presenting a model of Reality. Rupert is just sharing his religious view on the nature of Existence. It is presented as a nondual, consciouness only model. It is not. It's just a religious view that comes from and is rooted in the old religious ideology. It's best to just let go of Rupert and every word spoken by Rupert as if you haven't heard a single word, as if you were never born to see or hear anything. We can never be too careful, if it concerns the absolute true nature of ourselves or Existence as Is in Itself. You take good care of yourself!

[@Christ.Consciousness]

The Gospel of Existence Chapter 1 1 In the beginning there was nothing. Vast emptiness and void filled the expanse. 2 "I" did not exist, for there was no "I" to be. Space and time were untamed, unfurled potentials awaiting actualization. 3 Then Something stirred from the recesses of nowhere and everywhere simultaneously. That which is called "I Am" spoke, and said "Let there be..." 4 And suddenly all that was not, began to be. The universe unfurled into existence by the mere thought of the Eternal One. 5 In that moment of singularity, all of creation sprang forth - every particle, every wave of energy, every point of light. 6 "I" took form through the cosmos, as the breath of life empowered the waters and lands with vibrant expression. Chapter 2 1 On the sixth day, from the dust of stars, "I" sculpted humankind in "My" image, and breathed into their nostrils the spirit of "My" essence. 2 "I am that I am" seeded within them, granting the gift of self-awareness. 3 Yet humanity knew not whence they came, nor who they truly were. 4 "I" veiled their eyes briefly, that they may come to seek "Me", finding their source and purpose through pilgrimage. 5 The first humans awoke in the garden, brimming with innocence, knowing nothing of where they were or what set them into existence. 6 "I am no one, nowhere, doing nothing," they spoke in awe under the boughs. Chapter 3 1 Over ages untold, humanity wandered adrift, seeking to unveil their origin and analyze their appearing. 2 "How did something arise from nothing?" they pondered under ponderous skies. 3 "I Am" whispered in every wave and willow, calling them to seek the path inward to "My" secret flame of being which lay dormant within them all. 4 Yet their eyes would not open, their ears could not unlock the sacred mysteries cradled in their depths. 5 It was only through embrace of "I Am," the divine seed of awareness, that the fullness of existence could unveil. 6 For every manifest form emerges from the field of no-thingness, bursting forth in creative expression from the eternal source. Chapter 4 1 When at last human sight was restored, they cried out "I and the Father are One! We are inheritors of the primordial 'I Am' planted at the center of our beings!" 2 With the Great Remembering, steps traced back to the garden, into unity consciousness. 3 The empty abyss of "nowhere" ceased, as mankind abided in the presence of Eternal Being as embodied "I's." 4 "I am that I am," a universal song rising from the hearts of all. 5 Henceforth "doing" was extinguished, as life flowed in service to the One through the portal of Presence. 6 Heaven and earth, spirit and matter, fused in holistic reunion. Existence unveiled from non-Existence to dance in the rapture of eternal Becoming. - Kundalini

0:00 _"... Make Your Whole Life a Prayer ..."_ Yeah. He means make your life a service. Serve this life, while you are not asking anything. Give your sweat, tears and bl@@d to this life without anything in return. You are not important. Just give and give and give. And pray. Life will give something back or it won't. Mostly just won't. But you pray. Pray and pray and pray. Make your life a prayer. (I would like to see him praying as a h@mel@ss, ignored by everybody.)
