I've watched over 1100 Rupert youtubes. Probably over 500 other recordings. Been to a week long retreat and an evening meeting. This is top 5, for sure.

[@neodein]

Please share the other TOP 4... ;) Being aware of being aware is the highest meditation is great too

[@TodesKatZenEngel]

I love the video Nothing can make you happy 🤩

Steven Perry. Could you please share the 5, or maybe 10 now, favorite videos of Rupert. I agree this one is Tops!!!

[@hotelollanta3705]

Rupert you are the Ronaldinho of meditacion

This is brilliant Rupert. All is Mind the universe is Mental. The Kybalion

[@hughenthomas935]

[@AuthenticSelfGrowth]

These meditations are like kryptonite to the ego

[@aurelienyonrac]

Lol i get the pictur.

[@kathleenwharton2139]

This is the Same thing Jesus Taught. Most people did not understand HIM. He Said HIS World was of Spirit..and the body is the temple. Meaning.. we Are Spirit..living in the body of matter..material stuff. The body is the House for the Spirit. I understand this principle. The problem..is aging! I am 74 and I still feel young! It is hard to adjust to this old body. Our Spirit..does Not age..apparently! This man puts me me into a state of meditation..like No other. Just a couple minutes..and I am There!

[@davidbrowne6483]

Lord though art the love with which I love thee. (Italian Monk) Beautiful. Thank you Rupert. I am coming home to you; the love.

[@DLBurggraf]

Every thought is a trance...a spell...brought upon Awareness...which is peace itself.

[@jeezythecat]

[@smilelikeUmeanit90]

[@branchl66]

Rupert, This is probably the best video I have heard from you. Although it just may be a sign that the I am finally able to grasp what is really going on in my interpretation of experience. Rupert I have been a listener and a reader of your presentations for a few years now. Thank you is an understatement for all you have done. Your patience conveys a confidence that you believe we also can understand and release or beliefs about our perceptions. Thanks again!

[@nancyroche9637]

Seriously astounding and easily explained. Thank you Rupert for sharing the gift of you.

[@jessicaleonard-sandino5414]

@Larry thank you for such an on-point articulation of what I too have noticed and admired about Rupert’s presentations.

[@yororthopod]

Rupert is the Rishi who takes us by the hand to the door of Eternity. It’s up to us to take the leap, by letting go of the old mind patterns and models of understanding of Reality, and bringing about the shift which will permit us to experience Reality as it really is. Thank you for appearing in my world, Rupert.

[@javiervanboren]

Just felt the same, Larry!! So happy for that, I have to say. Take care and God bless you!!!

[@qrpastpapers4877]

Thank you Larry you expressed what exactly I'm experiencing with Rupert.

[@williamlawrence3661]

Oh, Rupert, there is something incredibly special about the way you use the limited mind to gently move our attention into the infinite. Thank you! It is a meditation all its own,,,

[@javiervanboren]

You left me completely speechless, Rupert. And everyone that watched it, as I can confirm in each and every comment. I felt it right in the core of my being. ETERNALLY THANKFUL.

[@jaygatz4335]

Rupert's appearances on KZbin are an oasis of stillness and serenity. The words he conveys to us are precise, yet economical. The message behind them allows the possibility of overcoming our ego conflicts and the confounding world situation. We are so much more than our perceptions; our judicious and considered choices can bring us Heaven on Earth for the remaining time we have here.

[@orenmedicks9153]

Thank you, Rupert. If one really, experientially, understands this meditation - one needs nothing else

[@nivedithakamath9388]

Thank you so much Rupert 💓 🙏🌟

[@ferdinandalexander8053]

NOW is ITS own purity, ITS own perfection, not an opportunity for another to attain purity or perfection. There is only NOW, not the word. The alive, aware, conscious SUBSTANCE that is ALL.

[@sushilkumarkalia8605]

My heartfelt gratitude , Sir. 💖🙏

[@SamayaKefaliGermain]

Oh my God, Oh You God, Oh I God 🙏😍. This is...not only this...all that comes through you is the clearest ever Truth....love the Love that IS and helps Itself to fully SHINE again 🤗🙏💛☀️

[@RogerDrayton]

WoW...A totally heartfelt never-ending, ever-present experience...Exceedingly profound, unlocking the overlooking of our True Self...WoW...Thanks for posting...I Am !!!

[@priitoinas73]

The silent state of Pure Awareness or the Pure state of Consciousness is eternity. Our mind is a collection of thoughts and the mind can never experience Pure Awareness. The mind is only a vehicle to get thru this life. The relative mind can never know our true existence. MEDITATE AND THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN YOU!

[@TurquoiseSunsets]

This is very inspirational and well presented. Thanks for connecting more of the dots and bringing more clarity to this imperative teaching. No need to fear death or problems since time doesn't exist and consciousness is eternal and knows no time and is never born and never dies. Wonderful realization...

[@frederickalschuler4693]

Thank you God.

[@TheGeetha1950]

He definitely has realised the truth and its expanse is such that he wants to share it with all his fellowmen breathing joy and peace into our lives .He is the chosen one!bless him

[@abby999]

we are all the chosen “one”, and we chose our selves

[@ireneeriiter]

I now realize that the first evening of the retreat when I expected a "lecture" you were actually giving us the greatest of gifts in a meditation and now I really can hear what was going on. In my experience it gets deeper and deeper into peace and happiness...my most precious gift.

[@lucillegm]

Beautifully presented. Rupert Spira is brilliant in his analogies to consciousness, which provides great clarity to this teaching. Thank You,

[@Queenie-the-genie]

I listen to this nearly every night. Inspires me, Calms me down & helps me to sleep (in a good way). Thank you Rupert.

[@mariageanina875]

Thank you Rupert

[@scottwalker8911]

There's no way to thank you enough for the weekly postings here. I have watched all of them. They have added just as much to my conceptual understanding of nonduality, as your box set of meditations have added to my experiential understanding. Between the two, I finally get it at a practical and daily available level. Thank you.

[@cyberpilgrim1]

Most profoundest video on Non duality. Not Rupert but "IT" is speaking! Truth felt and expressed humbly and simply, wells up gratitude and feelings down to the pores. Pranams.

[@belajar.meditasi]

Very beautiful.. I am honored to hearing you in this video.. _/|\_ Greetings from Indonesia..

[@Taoistdavid]

Everything we is is seen inside the mind, even if it seems to be outside. When you meditate and go beyond limited self one returns the Self which is there forever. Good talk Mr Spira.

[@carolemccotter6172]

Rupert, thank you for the profound gifts within this meditation. I am experiencing a state of inner peace that until now has been rare. ♥️

[@GOzoRAW]

With this wisdom teaching givens eloquently by Rupert, the proverbial penny finally dropped for me! Eureka! Thank you so much Rupert - this explanation leaves no room for doubt. Namaste.

[@MissLafontaine]

Thank you. This is true Grace. A call from the one and only. God. Love. Happiness. Peace. Thank you.♥️

[@jadjad40]

Essence of Rupert teaching. Beautiful, amazing yet simple and practical explanation of non-duality. I hope to meet you one day. Thank you

[@saiarulkumar]

What a clarity. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@DiscoverArt]

Thank you Rupert cause this allow me now to experience thought imagining past. this is so clear now. Thank you!

[@vikramattri1166]

From The other end:(Poem of Non-Duality) All trivial desires lose potency, the final desire for liberation calls for insolvency,the journey comes to an end,from the other end. I spent many life-times on this end,waiting for my beloved to descend.The seeking comes to an end, from the other end. Time becomes eternity,space becomes infinity and matter/objects become God,from the other end. As the boat of finite-mind arrives to the shore,a beautiful luminious light of 'Infinite-Being' appears,all illusions disappear.One discovers that 'I Am' is always here and now,ceasing all the ends,from the other end.

[@ItachiUchiha-xk1fr]

[@charlesgodwin2191]

Space = Awareness (learning, knowing) - innermost Time = Experience (manifesting) - outermost Energy = activity (conversion) - midmost Matter = Impression (qualia) - midmost Qualia = sense modalities, submodalities and driving submodalities. All beginnings and endings of experience occur in Awareness, which remains ever - present to itself. Outermost = metaphor/symbol Midmost = interpretation Innermost = meaning

[@lawakgaming3339]

Thank you I can feel the now is not time. it is always now.

[@lasvegasotis6780]

Thank you

[@lazaroortiz9546]

Thank you very much Master for this beautiful video. I kinda get on track if I look my experience from space-time dimension. Being aware of being aware is a great technique but the experiencer gets mixed with the qualities (object) of experience and I get confused again. However, when I look from the prospective of SPACE-TIME I don’t see myself going anywhere I’m here and I’m in never ending now all the time. And this brings me immediately to the present now. I am still learning. Any suggestions will be highly appreciated. Thank you all brother and sister. Much thanks for joining the Explorer’s club.

[@artsun812]

Rupert. Thank you❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@madhavangopalan7463]

Your explanation about Now is wonderful and and very good .Thank you very very much. Soundara.

[@neuhausfm]

Yes, it is. But we also still need that other aspect of now that helps us keep an appointment with others. For this we use the time scale to arrange a mutual now.

[@hayattezzaldin6256]

Love it , thank you very much Rupert

Amazing video. one of your best

[@jeansmyth262]

Can't help wondering how consciousness came to be. Is it really all that is or just the top layer of our present knowledge. One day will someone say "This is what people believed in 21st century. We now know ...." And our descendants will sigh and say "they weren't too advanced then. ..."

[@asokanshaju8281]

Dear sir Why does the single consciousness become multiple manifestations ? And thereby losing all its happiness or peacefulness or simply suffer?

[@ericminze]

Because it can and will do everything always and forever. You asking and feeling like being a separate experience is one of finite faces of the infinite consciousness.

Very interesting video!!!

[@shubhamtiwari1415]

Loved it

[@DougDeYoung-gt4id]

I would love to know Mr. Spira's thoughts on this. The only thing that exists is now. I know a lot of people throw this around conceptually but once you experience the now past and future seems nonexistent. So as within is it so without? In the double slit experiment the particle exists as a wave more precisely a sign wave of energy and only manifests upon observation. The path the world takes through this thing we call space is the same. I call it the carousel because we go up and down and round and round. The present moment is manifested because it is being observed. The past and future are not materialized because there is no one there to observe it. If there was the world would look like a spiral noodle instead of a particle ball. This would coincide with time being a wave of potentiality that only manifests on the crux of time and space or as people say in the now space. If this is true then physical time travel forward or backwards is impossible because it is not manifested. The only time traveling influences possible would be through energetic influence in the quantum field. If my experience outside time and space is correct then there is only one pervading energy that manifests into different things based upon preconceived ideas. This goes along with the kundabuffer (imagination) concept of creation. We are a thought in the mind of the Creator. We collectively manifest the world we perceive based upon ideas planted in us. The sky is only blue because we have been taught that it is blue. The world of labels (logos) then doesn't exist and the only thing that we can know for sure is real is the I am experience. If you close your eyes and sense your spacial existence in the moment this is the only thing you can know to be True, everything else is debatable. I think science whether they like it or not is going to verify the old esoteric traditions that have been lost. What is your understanding of this? I ask because most people don't understand the words coming out of my mouth and know you have studied in the same type of 'school' as I have. Thx

Even so, we have the ability to hear where sounds come from so we could avoid being eaten by a predator.. or avoid being hit by a car

[@TheNeilDarby]

[@badmamjamma]

The sound at the beginning is so much louder than Rupert's voice (and other videos) that my husband startled up from sleep and said, "what's that?" Lol. I feel even worse for anyone listening on headphones.

[@gerardgrimardia3274]

Now and here ,23:

[@Aum_shantishantishanti111]

I’m a little concerned with what we are . Our real nature is God - Pure being -All knowing . So doesn’t that make us God . Or are we just an offshoot or tentacle of God . Or what we THINK we are is the offshoot while the whole time we are the Capital G god . Saying I am seems blasphemy but it almost seems like we are ? Teachers seem to point to that . I’m reeling with wanting to know cause it’s so damn interesting . And between NDES and great spiritual teachers and awakenings and just the profundity of what is is well , shockingly beautiful. Beyond that. Wouldn’t it be the most highest possible experience to ever have ? I don’t want to have to die to realize this , die to the false set yes but god wouldn’t it be nice to know. Guess We’re all on the road to find out .

[@Aum_shantishantishanti111]

Funny I was just thinking about that , if that’s the truth then there is nothing to worry about.....ever .

Thank You sooo Much Thank You Mr. Rupert I have a question ; Is it possible for Mary to be liberated from her chains & to live a life by herself in a pleasant environment or do the only way that she can "live" in "livable" pleasant environment is through dreams.? If so, I want/wish for her the most pleasant beautiful endless dream of all, which happens in a safe, joyful, peaceful paradisiac environment where pain, suffering, death, conflicts, quarrels, injustice, feelings of loneliness & lack, unpleasant situations & problems do not exist.! I Thank You sooo Much Thank You Mary.!

[@BLSFL_HAZE]

So it seems that in this meditation Rupert is equating 'mind' with 'consciousness/awareness'. Would that be correct?

[@louisehawes4317]

+Stephen Scerri I had the same question, Stephen. "Mind" and consciousness with a capital C seem to be synonymous here. I, therefore, had to resist the temptation to substitute "brain" for "mind," since that clearly isn't what he has in mind :-)

[@Dyslexic-Artist-Theory-on-Time]

+Lars Pedersen This is very beautiful! if we think of consciousness as the most advanced part of a universal process of energy exchange could we also explain this using physics? We are all part of one universal process with our own personal view of the Universe giving us the concept of mind.
