Meditation: Being Is the Common Factor in Whatever Exists

Everything borrows its existence from a single reality, being. Everything seems to be finite, discrete, yet it is an appearance of an indivisible whole.
In this meditation we see that everything and everyone borrows its independent existence from the single reality of being. Being is the common factor in whatever exists. All things seem to be finite and discrete, yet all are appearances of a single, indivisible whole, just as all images in a movie are appearances on the single screen. The experience of happiness is the shining of this one reality through the multiplicity and diversity of forms. We find that it is not that experience veils reality but rather that the belief in separation appears to do so. We are free to allow appearances to veil reality, or to understand that they shine with it, by asking our self, 'Am I going to see ten thousand things or one indivisible reality?'

[@wallacegbedemah3641]

Mr Spira, I cannot THANK YOU ENOUGH. I wish you well.

[@yungblade7]

Without being you cannot experience anything so you know are always being 🌌❤

[@Jagombe1]

Thank you Rupert. You made me fully understand the verses in the Bible, which say, "In him was life and the life was the light of men and the light shines in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not" - John 1:4 - 5.

[@fidrewe99]

Very skillfully expressed. Some of your final words remind me of a quote by the famous physicist Werner Heisenberg: The first gulp from the glass of natural sciences will turn you into an atheist, but at the bottom of the glass God is waiting for you.

[@perothing]

"In-formed" (15:23) is a beautiful and well-chosen word if you ponder about it. Mastering the mind is one thing but mastering the use of the right words that are infused with intentions is another. This man has the 'gift of tongues'.

[@ryanini999]

Love this 🧡 thank you

[@hgracern]

Absolutely. Yet no Rupert exists except in mind. He’s stunning but can’t create a thought or sentence. 💕💕💕

[@shoonyah]

Thankyou for what you say at 18.00. It validates me immensely 🙏🏻So grateful! This dance of creation hides the creator n there I find him ... n always will . God is right here in everything. The good, the bad, the ugly.

[@rosarioalba1270]

Thank you Rupert for your love! Your videos are a gif!! You make clear even that which cannot be understood. .

[@pepacastillo408]

God bless you Rupert.

[@doxdiggla8726]

I love “you all” that is I Am

Muchísimas gracias!!! Cada video que veo me parece el más claro, hasta el siguiente, no sé cómo puede ser... Rupert es de una claridad impresionante!!!

[@safahummel9396]

Thank you Rupert for yet another beautiful sharing of “the light of being” shining through your seemingly independent appearance. 🙏🏻✨❤️

[@Matndahat]

Thank you

[@rmcd823]

Yes, being is the common factor. If it’s not it may signify that some actor is confusing a role with being.

[@violastraub7374]

Thank you very much. It gives me strenghts and calmness to listen. I am new in your chanel. After my teacher Omar Ali Shah died I lost the contact to his tradition and many years past with longing to pick it up. Your words remember me deeply of the zikr Ahad

[@jolez_4869]

Maaan these meditations are starting to feel waaay too goodd xdd

[@mindfulkayaker7737]

Hearing the videos of Rupert I wonder how it is possible that there was a time In which I believed that I was a separated being made out of flesh blood and mind

[@maisieyan999]

Like before meditation starts

[@sandycarter5300]

Are you implying that apparent evil is as legitimate as the good? If apparent evil is arising, it cannot be a representative of the perfect and good. It must be an unreal concept obscuring what is true.

[@janetsontilt]

Wow! No more distractions for me……👍

[@pdevika3629]

[@amandatoro2810]

[@aminfarsar3646]

So much blink.

[@gireeshneroth7127]

It is being vs being as far as seer and the seen is concerned. Being shrouds itself with itself. Apparent is at the same time the impersonation of the real.

"A """"kingdom"""" ➗ against itself shall surely fall." ⬇🔽⏬ -Jesus-

[@pedromanuel9581]

My only question regarding this is: Who or what is actually experiencing the “happiness on the inside and love on the outside”?? Inside and outside of what exactly? Rupert himself and along with with other non-duality teacher emphatically say “there is no separate self….there is nobody there”. There is also no inside or outside (duality). Is Rupert making a concession here with words and terminology?

[@Misslotusification]

I think so too. He made other concessions too. Now for Rupert, not being a separate self doesn't mean we don't have a persona in this dimension. To clarify this understanding, check out the John Smith / King Lear analogy. What matters is on whose behalf on is thinking, acting, relating,...

[@ginaparker431]

The "dark" ? DNOS is scary but it's a trick then?

[@Teller3448]

This is what happens when psychology blunders into the realm of physics.

[@keithoyoung34]

What do you mean?

[@Teller3448]

@@keithoyoung34 I mean this is what happens when psychological states are used to make statements about physics. It never ends well. The history of Buddhism for example is a testament to this kind of debacle. Spira's whole rap is lifted almost entirely from Mahayana Buddhism.

[@keithoyoung34]

@@Teller3448 Thanks for the reply mate.I will have to watch it again with your comment in mind.

[@Teller3448]

@@dscott_ "physics and psychology can’t explain the essential self." I agree that physics cannot explain the essential self, but psychology attempts to do so. The word 'psyche' means the soul or essence of a person's true identity. However, psychology has no business blundering into the realm of physics. Buddhism has been proving for centuries that even the most enlightened beings dont have a clue about physics. They couldn't even make matches!

[@Teller3448]

@@dscott_ Psychology is about the 'psyche' and as you already understand, it stands prior to thinking. Nevertheless, thinking is something 'of' the psyche. In the same way that my arm is something 'of' my body. Buddha stated that the psyche (atta) could not be found...he would only call it the 'unconditioned'. That's pretty vague...and has led to endless eons of confusion about what he really meant.
