I asked A.I. what Rupert Spira would tell a very young child about consciousness? The answer was: "Rupert Spira is a renowned spiritual teacher, and his teachings can be quite profound and complex. However, if he were to explain consciousness to a very young child, he might simplify the concept by saying that consciousness is what makes us aware of our surroundings and our own thoughts and feelings. He might explain that it is like a light that shines inside us, allowing us to see and experience the world around us. Additionally, he might encourage the child to explore their own consciousness by paying attention to their thoughts and feelings and being curious about them."

Thank you Mr Spira. It has become so obvious and simple. Experience the awareness of experience. If we don't observe carefully can be just another experience. There is only experience whether good or bad. Pain or pleasure. It is just a vibration. It does not matter. Good or bad, is determined by thought. If thought is sidelined, then it is only a sensation in awareness. We lean towards one or the other purely because of the influence of thought according to our conditioning. Sticking to this awareness is key. Wow! There is this displeasure in the writer for thought hijacking my life. I have been living a fools life in all of my existence. Even if it is intellectual - which I refute. Better late than never. Thank you.

Since I've discovered Rupert Spira, my passion for philosophy has been sparked again. I was also disinterested in the standard topics in college philosophy classes. I always felt as if the professors were afraid to touch on the truth of the eternal nature of consciousness and the I AM. This is the information I was seeking all along. It was simply difficult to verbalize with limited knowledge of the esoteric languages of metaphysics and philosophy. Thanks in large part to quantum mechanics, a new language has developed whereby discussion can take place without sounding like "old time religion".

I am not waiting for anything. Just because I am saying unicorns don't exist it doesn't mean that I am a nihilist. You don't experience anything except the experiencer. You can ask questions about the experiencer but you have no way of figuring out what that is. Because you have no way of separating yourself from it and look at it. The realization of the existence of the experiencer is only possible with the help of thought. Realization is naming, separating even if it is not happening verbally. That's what Rupert has not understood yet. Without the help of thought you cannot possibly know if there is consciousness there at all. Consciousness arises when thought arises. The two cannot be separated. They come together and they go together. That's all you have. The idea of consciousness beyond thought is simply not realizing this fact. Thought by its nature separated itself and invented the experiencer or consciousness or whatever you call it. Other than that none of them exists. And even thought doesn't exist. What this comment is then, you have no way of knowing.

We all know upon waking up in the morning, recapping our night dream, that "my awareness wasn't limited to that night dream body. The whole dream happened in my awareness and was my awareness". Life is completely equal in experience, it is a day dream. Hence, we could make the same claim, that the whole Universe happens in "my awareness" and is "my awareness". Now, it is an easy step to take from here. Since Peter in New York and Sarah in Tokyo both claim that "the Universe is my awareness", Awareness/Consciousness must be One and Unlimited.

Hello Rupert, the way you explain things is fascinating. I've had the same question that you addressed in this video, but I still find it difficult to bring these abstract notions into grounded clarity. Now, the way I understand consciousness is; the ability to perceive and being responsive to the surrounding environment... But when you give the analogy of one space, and ask why can't it be the same with consciousness, the difference becomes that this ability to perceive and response is limited to life forms, especially better applied to complex and multisensory life forms due to their specific, complex physical forms... The birth of an animal, or a plant requiring a specific arrangement of chemical content and information inside their specific seeds and given the suitable environment - only then can they take the form that's able to be conscious... And indeed this can be viewed from an opposite perspective, that is; birth of all matter as a result of consciousness, but I don't understand the grounds on which it can be accepted other than speculation... I know that the same can said about materialism, but I'd love to know if there are clearer ways to explain it, thank you

I'm sorry. He explained why "space" is infinite. He did not explain why "awareness" is infinite. It is unfortunate when such a great question is asked and then the answer doesn't get answered. I'm open to someone explaining to me (without me having to have a "belief" that it is so - but "experientially" seeing why it is so) why "awareness" is infinite. I have seen through the "character" illusion and enjoy the peace of a quiescent mind that comes with that seeing. However, if I'm being honest, there is still a sense (experientially) that awareness is sort of localized, at least, for as far as my senses can detect i.e. as far as my eyes can see, as far as my ears can hear, etc. No inside/no outside (borders of body are seamless) but there is no experience that awareness is beyond my physical senses as described above. Would appreciate helpful responses... Thanks...

One problem withour society is that ESP (extra-sensory perception) is viewed as being weird, and people who claim to have it are viewed as weird. Thus it's discouraged. Rupert said in his talk that we're encouraged to focus on objects -- what we can perceive with our senses. As it is, though, awareness is infinite because there is nothing in the universe that awareness is not aware of. Just because "your" awareness does not seem to be aware of everything in the universe may be more a problem of perception than of fact.
@josephmcmahon167210 жыл бұрын
Warren Cotton Yes, hello. Awareness is essentially without characteristics and is not an object. We can't "perceive" awareness (besides "who" would be the perceiver?). So, not being able to perceive it with our senses, how does one "experience" it's infiniteness? Also, in your comment you say "awareness is infinite because there is nothing in the universe that awareness is not aware of". If this is true, can you tell me, using your infinite awareness, what color shirt I am wearing right now? I am really interested in this dialogue because I have yet to hear a teacher (or anyone else for that matter) actually explain how awareness (consciousness, etc) is Universal, Infinite and Unlimited... It is one thing to be borderless and unbounded (my experience) but it is quite another to be "Infinite". Even "expansive" is not infinite... Thank you for the dialogue...
@wcotton10 жыл бұрын
Joseph McMahon I didn't say that "my" awareness is infinite, nor have I achieved a state of consiousness that I can be aware of the color of your shirt. Awareness is infinite in the sense that some part of awareness (probably yours) is aware of the color of your shirt. You might think of it like waves on the ocean. One wave may not be aware of another's experience, but the ocean is. The fact that your and my awareness seems bounded does not mean that they would be if we were in touch with the truth of ourselves.

It is ever present because I have only experienced that, so, through my own senses, that's all there is. Cool. Now: There is a thinking mind, full of thoughts and preferences, and there is a body full of feelings and perceptions, and they seem to be very personal and although they are known, they have the last word over my sense of identity. I believe that I am all this senses, all this thinking, all this discomfort and sometimes all the pleasure that flow through me! Thats why I go to work or take a shower, or make love, or play with my dog and even why I get up from bed. I do this things because they affect my senses and perceptions in a way that makes "me" feel good or allows me to live (in the going to work bit since I dislike my job). How do I dis identify with that and remain in peace with the knowing of everything? It seems impossible!!

I dont know why but at 5 years old there was a spontaneous recognition that wherever I am, everything appears and nothing can appear without i first being present. It left a powerful impression and I never forgot it. I could never fully accept the conventional notion and it eventually drove the seeking to know the truth and nature of this mysterious source that at times would shine forth as joy, beauty, love and then seem to be clouded over. At the zenith of the clouding over I felt I must seek with great intensity and put that above all else Then it started to reveal itself (to itself), and finally unburden me from all seeking and fear. I'm not sure if this initial understanding was provoked by something an adult said. We did live with a very bohemian Ukrainian artist woman while my father was overseas. She was quite remarkable, an ex student of the film maker Eisenstein who had fled the Soviet Union and the Nazis with her 4 children. Anyway, she had my sister and I make a garden, with the idea that when the flowers bloom, our father would return. It was while watering that garden that this understanding dawned.

For Rupert, awareness is a separate thing that underlies the mind and body. Why? Isn't awareness just a function of the mind? If I have a thought, what is aware of that thought? Isn't it the mind? If I have a visual experience, isn't that appearing in the mind as well? Isn't it the mind that recognizes all experience? The "I" or the thing that recognizes awareness and persists over time is just an abstraction of the mind. I don't see the need to introduce this separate thing of awareness.

This question has nagged at me for years - only, Rupert makes a seemingly dismissive response in comparing space with animal consciousness. One can logically accept all space is part of a whole; however, it is something much different to suggest all consciousness is part of a whole. What evidence is there of this proposition? Consciousness (AKA awareness) logically seems to be intricately tied to physical aliveness, and human consciousness in particular with its unique self awareness appears to be due to brain size, evolution, and so forth. Is there a better argument for universal consciousness out there?

Dear Rupert, I have been following your videos, and I notice that frequently in your analogies like Mary's mind, and Mary's dream, you refer to the consciousness as synonymous with infinite mind. However, in my understanding the macrocosmic mind, or mind of God's mind , in the Christian tradition, or Ishara's mind, in the vedanta tradition, is not synonymous with absolute consciousness or Brahman, since Brahman is unattainable by the mind, be it micro- or macrocosmic minds. Indeed the macrocosmic mind of Ishara project, dreams and experiences this universe through the infinite microcosmic minds of the jivas simultaneously. On the other hand, on my understanding it's impossible to assert something about the conscience's nature, since that would require a dual mind. Moreover, whatever statements about it are always made by a jiva, ie the light of consciousness reflected through the jiva's mind. That's why Advaita means "not two" that is, it is not possible to say that ultimate reality is something. In summary, for me, it's no possible to say that conscience is self-conscious. I'd like to received your comments ( email: enrique@unb.br). Best wishes, ERA
