Meditation: The Throne of Awareness

To expect or desire anything other than what is, is to set ourself apart from the whole, and to set ourself up in conflict with the whole. It is a conflict that we cannot win, and suffering is the price we pay for it. In this meditation we relieve ourself of the demands we place on the world and return to our rightful seat on the throne of awareness.

For me this video put everything together. If it doesn’t for you continue listening to his awareness videos. My journey was psychologically very painful. I deeply encourage you to continue your journey. Clarity will come in it’s own time. Do Not Give Up. One day you will come across the key that opens the lock. Please make this a priority.

[@ultracalicokittycat]

It was only recently that I actually accepted the notion that "awakening" may be a process that isn't instantaneous.....Years ago when I heard Eckhart's story, I "decided" THAT was what I wanted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't want to waste any time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also went through hours and hours of trying to fit myself into ACIM, and it was like a square peg in a round hole......I'm NOW at a point where I'm taking it easier, and the teachings (Rupert's, Mooji's, Eckhart's, Suzanne Giesemann's, and others) are sinking in......Peace is dawning slowly, and that's ok 😎😀👍🙏🌹🌻🌷🌸

The 1st sentence he says is like a batter arriving up to the plate and hitting the grand slam home run on the 1st pitch -for me, and the last message re how any level of suffering serves as an alert to regain the throne, is for me another long ball :) I have all his books, and they are, for me, crammed full of long balls so to speak

@@samlife9019 I'm scared to lose focus of protecting myself from others, losing my shell and to be openly vulnerable. I'm sitting on top of the highest hill and I don't wanna have to come down. I want someone to climb up here so I won't be alone. Right now I'm imagining people on top of hills, looking for other people to connect with. Sometimes you have to climb down to find another hill to look from and see more. Sometimes you meet someone in a valley and you climb a hill together. Sometimes you find a hill together as kids and you go back there from time to time. The climb might be the best part of life. I know I might not understand this meditation fully, but this is what it made me think of. Thanks for reading.

[@YaTut169]

Just like when you go to sleep and you have a dream, your mind takes the shape of whatever it appears in the dream, the creatures, the sky, the stars; the same way the universal mind of eternal life; eternal existence, which is what you are is taking the shape of this cosmos right now. There are no separate selves, there is nothing other than your mind/consciousness truly. This is your own dream. The infinite consciousness that you are is animating the whole cosmos, all movements from the smallest grain of sand being misplaced by the wind to the explosion of a star. What a miracle first of all. It is animating all bodies and all that is ever perceived. The only thing not animated is your own existence, the being, the animator, the infinite intelligence itself, pure consciousness itself which is what you are. When you have a dream at night, who are you but the consciousness being aware of the dream? The consciousness is without personality. It is literally aware God. Who can doubt that the dreamer of a universe is the God of it? You are the dreamer of this universe. What is there to the universe except the God of it? Nothing. So there is nothing to the universe but you, the dreamer of it. You are the God of this cosmos. Have you ever experienced anything other than this world which is a hallucination of the mind that you are? Nothing is outside of you. There is only you. Whatever are the laws of the universe they are only so by your super-conscious choice. That means they can be something else also. The infinite mind is synonymous to infinite possibilities. It is God on creative mode. It has an infinite empty field which is itself and it can take on the shape of absolutely anything what can't even be conceivable to the human mind. That infinitely intelligent God is now taking the shape of this dream. Out of infinite possibilities what you see manifest right now is only one. The manifest possibility is always changing. The source of all possibilities, the one conscious of them being apparently realized on the screen of consciousness is what you are. The super-conscious has already got everything in play. Everything is only unfolding by its will. The super conscious is nothing but that being, that existence which is. It is infinitely intelligence. There is no body or mind that is in separate control. There is nothing but that one consciousness dreaming multiplicity. There is no thing to do because everything is being done by the super-conscious, only be aware of that which is being aware. Being aware of being aware your perception is utterly clear to see the play of divinity that is unfolding in front of you as space and time. As the super-conscious there is nothing to do but to enjoy being the super-conscious bliss that is this eternal timeless infinitely intelligent existence which is ever-present. The dream goes on unfolding by itself, but now you are lucid as the intelligence dreaming, as God.

Congratulations, you used all non-duality words. Maybe we should listen to you, instead of Rupert.

[@Aum_shantishantishanti111]

I enjoyed reading that . Thank you . Now to fully embody and understand this . infinite intelligence would be aware of everything so I would ask to become aware of everything too . There are no limits other than what I impose so I ask that they be removed .

[@YaTut169]

@@Aum_shantishantishanti111 You are asking to be aware of everything but you are already aware of everything because awareness is everything, and you are never aware of anything other than awareness, everything. Awareness is everything. By being aware of it you are being aware of everything. You are already without limits. That which is dreaming and being aware of the dream is not limited by anything. It is simply the presence of God. It is formless. How can something formless be limited? You are that formless.

@@YaTut169 I want to experience the bliss of myself , heaven , Christ rising within me . I’ve already experienced the unconditional divine love through a mushroom experience but the bliss and truth of myself is always here so my heart is set on experiencing this transcendence naturally. I know the seeking Ego is getting in the way but my intention is to be this love we are and through grace be of service to myself by being of service to everything and everyone . Basically for my old self to die and be reborn in the light of Christ consciousness. A spiritual transformation to put it simply .

[@dorothyjaudon7033]

My body is 76/yrs old and for the last 3-4 weeks it started to experience pain in my lower back. I am aware for over 30years. My journey I was told in my sleep one night to prophetically teach creation and resurrection, I have given you long life and I will show you my salvation. I was ordained as an Overseer. Had a teaching ministry and thought I was on my true journey. Until I was quickened during my preparation to teach. Then I heard to renew your mind. Then I asked the question to what do I already know? I was led to meditation daily. Rupert in the last 3-4 weeks I started to have uncomfortable lower back discomfort. I had received the understanding humans were given the gift of the law of eternal life in the heart of his soul. I had received we are 10% humankind and 90/% being. I understood we are I Am race of beings. However, why I am so happy today last night after I heard you say man is infinite beings that is experiencing life in a physical body. The instant I heard that the discomfort in my back vanished. Today listening I heard our conscious awareness is the Kingdom of God and Christ: the son of the living God seats on the throne of our conscious awareness, is the creator of our imaginations without partiality. Since out of our heart is man’s issues of life. So if we believe in our heart/ The kingdom of heaven with the mind of Christ or the awareness of God and know that all the promises of source Creator Kingdom of Heaven within is yes and amen to him that believes. Every good thing will manifest in and out of the life we have been given in our earthly physical body now in that infinite awareness. Thank you for your understanding of God’s Creation. I am grateful

I still don't understand what is the use of being aware of awareness, since awareness is an open space that is neutral and doesn't give a damn about what is happening in it. Of course by being aware you can see your problems more clearly but to accept them as a facts of life and don't do anything about them is an insane and dangerous decision. with all respect for all the followers of Non-duality Idea, why would you think since this ISM is 2000 years old then it must be right? have you ever study the life and the history of the people who came up with this school of thought? such as people of Kashmir whom thought Tantara was the answer to all their suffering. be honest with yourself, aren't you attracted to this way of life just because you are frustrated, angry, desperate and helpless. I've read all these Non-duality text and literatures in its original language and seen hundreds of Video and seminars and re-treats and still can not fool myself into conviction of it. Just because we don't know all the truths of life, we shouldn't fall pray to something, just because it is 2000 years old. Spiritual Business is very hot and promising in the West, thanks to the Internet and KZbin(income).

[@hempfu]

my cat needs nothing spiritual neither the three in the garden because they are always connected to the whole ; apparently we do because the technology and science who replaced religion are no guarantee for happiness.
