Non Duality Roundtable - Adyashanti, Rupert Spira & John Prendergast

[@GigiAzmy]

Adya keeps getting more and more real about this stuff! That’s a real spiritual hero

[@Glinedog]

Such a beautiful stream. Deep gratitude 🕊️🙏🫂

[@joeleonard5345]

Rupert is a true gift.

[@n-xsta]

Adya is ❤❤❤

[@dianeross22]

Adya, Falling into Grace changed my life and I've listened to hundreds of times. Rupert, I've just started listening to you and you're amazing. I love your clarity. I love that Byron Katie was mentioned. She's been life changing, too. I love you all.

[@kevinhamilton9920]

Enjoy all these guys for different reasons. Excellent gathering and talk.

[@kirstibraarud9901]

Rupert Spira's words resonate in me..

[@susanwright6169]

What a beautiful offering. Just wonderful to hear from these three "englightened beings"!

[@danielaquacinella1567]

The three of them are beautiful human beings and great teachers but the one I deeply resonate with is Adya, I'm really moved by him... I feel so much love for him ❤ just listening and feeling his spontaneous expression...his energy, body language, way of expressing himself.. makes me feel joyful and light hearted and with so much gratitude and devotion. He has such a pure smile and gaze, it feels so free, so alive , innocent and with a childlike quality 😊❤ I'm literally in love with him

[@thebrokenchandelier]

I’m just at the beginning and I can see why I resonate and watch Rupert Spiras videos and teachings. He’s the embodiment of “non-duality” in his behavior and mannerism/speaking. namaste 🙏.

[@Progenitor1979]

God, we all can recognize an 'embodiment' of non duality because we are all that. In other words lean into your kindness and understanding instead of this superficial judgement (talking to you commentators on this sincere and lovely comment)... And before you jump on me I am doing it too, but at least, I hope, with compassion....

@@Misha0013 We're drawn to teachers and gurus because of what we recognize in them. And here's something I feel is important for every adult (and child) to know: Sarcasm (in the passive aggressive, caustic sense) is unbecoming, even with a smiley face.

Adya suffered with the same pain condition I have. Hearing him talk about the limitations of realization in the presence of extreme physical pain is refreshing and honest.

[@Koort1008]

I need to rinse the taste of vomit out of my mouth after listening to him.

[@TommeeKnocker]

Wow! What Adya says about the extremities of experience at around 45 minutes. I noticed recently that I was trying to hold up the experience to be a certain way, it was irritating and tiring, now I am only interested in seeing the lantern through the storm, allowing myself or my ego space and perhaps more importantly time, it is all under the gaze of presence, maybe I will not smile that much today, or notice such bliss in the simple things, there can be nothing in the way of my rest, not a things presence or its absence.

[@noodlenate]

Why it is found to be so difficult to be in the presence of one’s own presence? Stay tHere. Stay in silence, until Silence dissolves all boundaries, all questions, all answers. Just stay. Be available. Graciously allow Life to whisper you awake. ✨😊✨

[@SimonM282]

Fantastic conversation! Really opened up behind the curtain a little bit, behind the curtain of 'spiritual teacher'. I love seeing Adya slipping out of the role of the gentle, somber spiritual teacher. You can see the rebel/jokester who has some strong opinions and kinetic energy in his body. I love it. This is true Zen. ❤

Rupert is the GOAT. No one explains it better in simple and clear terms and metaphors. His Jane and John Smith and King Lear one’s are incredible. He’s so himself and extremely present throughout the talk. I love him to death. The others were good as well. Your teacher is written for you just as your provisions are.

[@melissag9685]

Lot's of good insights here to hear. Also good fun to watch Adya's Zen mind animate him, and Rupert play the Jgani, and John embody the sweet Bhakti of an empathic therapist. All sincere souls, helping to manifest wisdom in their unique way.😊

[@is-ness]

Yes

[@MichaelDamianPHD]

Rupert certainly is playing the jnani because he never had realization. It is all intellectual.

[@kwixotic]

@@MichaelDamianPHDHow did you arrive at that erroneous observation?

[@MichaelDamianPHD]

@@kwixotic I arrived at it because 1) Rupert himself admits he never had any sudden realization, and 2) I know by direct experience what it is and can recognize that he hasn't.

[@kwixotic]

@@MichaelDamianPHD As the saying goes, “There’s more than one way to skin a cat.” You seem to think that Rupert has failed the “test” only because his Awakening was so unlike what you experienced. Wouldn’t surprise me if he has had a more enduring kind of realization than you have since your judgement of him wreaks of an ego tainted evaluation( as if declaring, well at least I had a direct Realization experience, certainly more authentic than what Rupert managed to attain”).

[@truelily7]

Watching this I don't feel so alone on my long path. I am surrounded by people who don't quite get me exactly. And I'm not awakened yet but I am allowing everything to be as it is and just practicing. Tears do come to me as I listen to these wonderful lovely teachers. It is an oasis . Thank you so very much.

[@highvibefreqzshow5967]

I love how they are taking great care in pointing out the ‘languaging’ rather than arguing about which word is the right word like we see so often in ‘spiritual’ discussions. It’s amazing we have come to the point where ‘living masters’ can be brought together and talk among themselves rather than only addressing questions from seekers.

[@Themessenge1111]

In enlightenment is more of evolving and letting go, where one slowly does not believe in the mind anymore, but yet uses the mind and remains as seeing presence,, fully functional & present in every situation, instead of believing in time, past and future, you know yourself as the supreme self a wave from the ocean.

[@AVS_VS3]

I used to listen to Rupert Spira a lot and visited some of his retreats. My impression is, that he is always speaking from the source. I do resonate with all that he is saying. It is very profound, clear and on point. And I do agree with him, that enlightenment is the moment of realization of our true nature. It is part of or maybe initiates the process of Self-realization. But "enlightenment" ist exactly what he says, even if it is experienced and happens very individually for everyone. The feeling or recognition is the same in its essence. With deepest Gratitude, thank you so much for your guidance, Rupert. 🙏

[@hazelr992]

Thank you for this conversation. I feel the main lesson I gleaned from this is that there are as many ways of being touched by the eternal as there are living beings. Thank you, Rupert for mentioning Eckhart Tolle. I would love to see a conversation between Rupert and Eckhart. If a teacher calls themself a teacher, are they really a teacher, or are they still fixed to their ego self? We are all one piece of the jigsaw puzzle. No one less nor more than the other. We are all unique examples of the one.

Why does it matter whether Rupert mentions Eckhart or not? Why is a conversation needed between this one or that one? Lastly the word teacher is simply a description and using it doesn't mean "attached to ego self." It all starts to sound rather superstitious doesn't it, when the mere use of a word means someone is totally unenlightened, etc etc.

I have so much love and respect for these teachers. They have brought so much clarity and wisdom to the world. I also include Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield in this mix. However, I think the question of climate change is a collective issue, and we are not all on the same page. Although spirituality and awareness needs to inform our decisions, we cannot wait for everyone to "wake up", or feel compelled to do something. Policy and political leadership needs to create a system that is self-sustaining and compel human beings to give up fossil fuels. The most recent summit on climate change shows the paradox, where the leadership is an executive of a large middle east old company. People need to see that we are on the Titanic.
