The Non Dual Honeymoon is Over

[@sparkely1122]

This man, saved my life. Literally saved my life. Drs couldn't even figure it out. My illness, disease, is completely gone since embarking on the journey of the teachings from Rupert. Thank you xo thank you so much

[@Chasmu94]

It is really funny how sometimes when I'm meditating I start to think about something that seems really deep and philosophical... ...and then I realize that the ego has diverted my attention completely by giving me self-satisfaction over how wise I supposedly am.

Hahaha

[@jimmuncy5636]

@Raoh The GOAT I'm not a realized Master, Raoh, but I think you missed the gist of what we talking about here: spirituality, not raunch, is the topic, method, and goal. But what do I know? Maybe you're on to something, so grab ahold of it and run with it. (Maybe that's not great advice either, if taken literally anyway.) It seems you're using a blunt instrument to find yourself. (Wait, that sentence is a mess, too. I'll stop talking now.)

[@JEiowan]

Chasmu94 -I’m right with you💖✨💖😂. I’m terribly smart, and terribly important.... especially in my awakening journey...!😂. My insights are in actuality a dime a dozen...👼👼👼😇🙏🏽. Anything to distract me from no-self, from emptiness.... 🌹

[@Smoczur777]

This is honestly the best guidance I have ever received. I'm going through really hard time in my life right now... Everything about Rupert tells me to calm down and survive patiently and consciously whatever is coming up from down there and opening up in front of me. Just thank you with whole my heart.

So elegantly described as ever. The greatest rewards are in the places we least want to look. Many thanks Rupert

[@avivashining_alight2687]

It's like the magical Lotus flowers at the Lake of Consciousness - every day their quantity doubles. Starting with two, the next day four, then eight and so on. How long will it take for the lake to be full of Lotus flowers? If everyone brings a friend who seeks the truth in their heart to join this non-dual caravan of love and beauty… How long will it be before millions of people feel and experience the fullness of Rupert's wisdom and love that he so selflessly shares with us all?

[@alaineb2643]

Thank you for this, it's so helpful. The last couple of months I've been participating in some (Buddhist) prayers as a daily Covid-19 abatement session with others on zoom. But I noticed about a week into it that there were 2 of the recitations in particular that were opening up all these childhood memories of sadness and hurtfulness I barely knew I had. I felt like I was the child again reliving the experiences as they happened at that time, before I'd learned to hide my feelings from heart breaking & frightening things. It was a pattern, and it happened each day. I became so uncomfortable with it I started skipping those two "prayers" when they came up (turning my sound off on my computer and then back on when they were over) to see if that would help. And it did, kind of, the memories simply slipped quietly into the background. But now that I had met them, I knew they were right under the surface, so after a few more days I began to think I should get brave and turn both of those prayers back on again so I could let the memories out and work with the issues, and then I "accidentally" discovered this talk! Wow! It's given me the courage to just let it happen, to accept it and not feel that I'm doing something wrong. And it's helping me realize it's not too big to handle and that things will be ok. That it's "supposed" to happen like this. It would be nice to know what the meditation was that you made mentioned of, but I'll explore the homeopathic yoga meditations you also mentioned, as well as continuing with the ones I currently have. Thank you from my heart.

[@ahb226]

Beautiful story. Thank you for sharing! I can relate.

[@CYMONKA]

When I explored the feelings below the rational mind, it began as a beautiful and mystical experience… with occasional clouds of loneliness. I welcomed the emotions closer and asked them to stay for a while, and my goodness… a storm of the most intense, irrational, dark emotions I have EVER experienced filled my waking mind. It went on for hours. I had no idea how to process it. It was as if I experienced generations and eons of intense emotions. Not sure how to rationally process it. I see why people avoid this step… it takes courage to face something so chaotic and outside one’s control. Thank you for posting this video. It’s helping me trust that this is all part of the process, otherwise I might think I lost my mind and never try again.

[@yokaijem]

I really relate to this and hope you're doing well with it. My spiritual journey started with severe anxiety and panic disorder and as I found my spiritual path it began to subside with intense breath work and focus. Now almost 2 years later, I'm experiencing strong emotions of panic, anxiety, fear, and many that feel like I'm going absolutely insane. Every day is a different day but some days are so incredibly hard I don't know how I keep going. Anyway, I seem to be working thru them slowly. Hope you are as well

[@patriciacashman5553]

Perfect timing for this. I was convinced I was having an emotional breakdown, feeling INTENSE sorrow and fear, in a child-like manner. The sobbing has been going on for 4 months. Okay, the sun is over the well. I get it. Up come the emotions…breathe. Thanks Rupert, this is VERY important for many of us to understand.

[@groundofbeing9733]

Patricia Cashman Look up Scott Kiloby, he will help you release that trauma that’s coming up. Beyond easy once you know how to do it.

[@groundofbeing9733]

Ferris Bueller was a nerd You ought to read Luke 17:21. He is teaching what Jesus taught. It was Paul that taught “worship Jesus as god.” Jesus absolutely rejected this and ABSOLUTELY said we are the exact same as Jesus, which is god (read your Bible, it’s in there multiple times John 10:34 and Psalms 82:6...read it, have your mind blown). “The Kingdom of God” is what non dual people call awakening, awareness or enlightenment. You know when they say “have the same mind as Christ” or “be still and know I Am god,”...he is showing you how to do it. Love

[@Hi_how_r_u_]

@@groundofbeing9733 Beyond easy sounds promising, but is it really? Asking cuz im dealing with a lot of repressed emotions and fear also

[@tangotangoh]

It's good that all that lay buried deep within comes up as these feelings and discomforts rather than manifesting later on in illnesses and diseases.

[@groundofbeing9733]

Thank you for this. No one warned me. First wake up, then the purge.

[@drm54321]

This is just so PERFECT. So helpful, truthful, profound! Thank you Rupert.

[@paxnorth7304]

I also thought that the flower arrangement made some really great points here.

[@groundofbeing9733]

We ABSOLUTELY need to start making clear in the non dual communities that awakening will release your traumas from repression in the subconscious and simply sitting as awareness DOES NOT dissolve all of them. There is no spiritual bypass, you can’t meditate your way through all of this. Some trauma and ego stories require very skillful inquiry to mine out the words and pictures trapped with energy/trauma in the body. Check out Scott Kilobys Inquiries is you want some guidance working through these. Truth and Love

[@antonlarm8178]

Hey Chris! Did you find the meditation! 😄

[@Ladybirdsin16mm]

Always loved the sun over the well analogy

[@simka321]

In the Qabalah of Questianity we call the honeymoon phase "ascents," which complement the "descents" that challenge us to put in the real spiritual work that fosters growth. The whole of spirituality is just this: ascents and descents, ascents and descents, spiraling upward, forward, onward in a movement of everlasting epektasis ... to infinity and beyond!

[@ssevkin]

Gorgeous metaphor for the mind toward the end. The sleeping sea. Very helpful

[@mariahetlelid1342]

Thank you Rupert :)

[@matthewervvin]

"there's nobody here" really worked good when the one that used to be "here" was stinky and ugly. Who is it that claims there's nobody here? Usually, somebody....and a false "somebody" at that. Nobody itself isn't going to say "there's nobody here". Who would it say it to and why? And, who would even hear it? What could the "somebody" that heard it possibly do with it! There is somebody here. And it's going to take a lot more than a few words or phrases to know the truth about it. Whatever it is, it's in for a fight and it's not going to give up easy. It's almost as if we found out the truth half way through the middle of a major battle. It's time to be in if for the long haul. Quick and easy answers are nowhere to be found. Patience, silence and diligence are a must.

[@j00f]

+matthewervvin That's what I also used to think; that it is going to be a long fight. Turned out it's both true and not true. The truth is simple and only needs a realization; There is no one, just another human being, born out of mother and father, having specific biology, thoughts and behavior based on the specific circumstances and environment it grew in. All automatic, result of cause and effect. There is no one inside this body. But getting rid of all the old baggage (past conditioning) which is in the way of actually feeling free, is a task of a lifetime. But once the illusion of self is realized, that process of unconditioning in turn becomes automatic. That's why in Buddhism it's called "stream-entry".

[@j00f]

Blazin 420 Don't worry, I didn't really understand what it was that you tried to say.. No one can sincerely say what? Authorship..? And of course there's no way around using language..

[@Blazin-yk4kz]

+j00f I duno either

[@d1427]

You say- "There is somebody here." try this: "who notices that? /i do/ who am i [who is this i]?" and keep silent and see how that i dissolves into its source [impersonal amness]. if you need some 'food for thought' to make the mind cooperate, before starting the self inquiry remind yourself that you are not the body because you can see the body and everything that can be perceived is not you- you are the perceiving in an impersonal form, the witness of all; in addition, all that comes and goes is not real as you cannot build on transitory stuff, on unstable ground. The only thing you can be certain of is 'i am'; then go to 'who am i' questioning

[@Blazin-yk4kz]

+daisilui just do mushrooms ✌🏼️

[@wesentlichwerden-mawiese]

Very beautiful, thank you Rupert. Being a passionate practitioner of conscious movement ( Azul and SoulMotion) to explore all the locked "stuff" and move it, not in a rational, but a physical, present way- I still do know the resistance of rationalizing . So I see that it´s just about continuing to move the body and explore to see and face what´s up. Thanks.

[@DLBurggraf]

The substratum of all thoughts and feelings is the eternally blissful Self. Those who do not know this have to suffer the vagaries of the mind.

[@openyourlies]

Thank you Rupert!

[@evantochydlowski4787]

The metaphor of the well is beautiful. It's been months since I've stopped feeding my Ego's stories and rationalizations and defense mechanisms... And yet the feelings still keep coming. It's been terribly uncomfortable to sit with. I've had periods of deep peace and happiness but they're short lived and then I just end up going back to the discomfort. There's been several times where I thought I had finally emptied the well and yet the creatures still keep pouring to the surface.

[@Legion6363]

As the elements at the bottom of the analogized well begin to stir and then revolt to the sun's presence (Awareness/Presence/Self) the intensity of those elements (our false identities) increases. A threshold then approaches where we either choose deidentification from those elements and remain as the Sun/Awareness itself and shift into the lucid view with freedom and choice over the direction of our attention/intention, or we are triggered into entanglement and slavery to those false identities in the analogized well.

Why do I never see ANY teacher of any tradition say: "My teaching works . . . but not for you. You really need this other tradition, which has a much higher success rate for where you're coming from . . ." (?)

[@liquidvelvet]

If you think in ways of "attraction" you'll see that the disciple and the teacher resonate at least in SOMEWAY - otherwise the disciple/person would have been drawn to a different teacher/technique... life plays in terms of resonance and dissonance - stuff that feels disgusting to us will simply not attract us or rather will repel us (unless you belong to those of us (like me) who were told that things that are hard will build your character and that it's noble to suffer)...
