"We have to make an effort to not be aware" . That is the realization that is needed.

[@johnnywlittle]

It’s also interesting to see a person stuck in the frustration of the mind. Searching for this “something” that isn’t actually there and can’t be achieved. I understand and know this dance very well. It’s nice to see Rupert patiently show us the error of this way.

[@moonglow6639]

You are always aware of being aware. Awareness needs to be aware of itself in order to be aware at all.

[@marlieschrijver1612]

Beautifully clear! And a very honest person who asked the questions. Thank you!

[@Progenitor1979]

A bit frustrating though, she wants to be saved... Aaah, projection!

[@JorgeRodriguez-nx5eq]

Great! Thought A upset thought B and Though C to D and so on But when we realize that we are not part of this monkey alphabet but the empty book in which all letters appears and disappear happiness and peace arise spontaneously even in the presence of all these thoughts Thank you again Rupert for leading me to this wonderful understanding

[@serenity1646]

Amazing clarity! I can not thank you enough, Rupert. Must watch for ANY beginner on this path of no duality.

[@oliviapendergast1]

This is amazing "Awareness is never upset, Only thoughts can be upset by thoughts!" yes of course...just never heard those words... All the little bits in it...everyone of them is such a gem. Feeling it in the emptiness...then the best part is her little "ok", at the very end. Made tears arise.

[@mindfulkayaker7737]

It is amazing to see how human mind try to complicate something that is so easy and evident!!!

[@jamesthomas1244]

When we simply look, isn't it obvious that everything experienced at this moment exists because of the conscious-awareness of it? We are the conscious-aware-knowing; we are the loving light that gives birth, space, sustenance and existence to all life and universe. Thank you beloved Rupert for your clear pointing and sharing. For two decades I was strongly attracted to non-duality, yet totally flummoxed -- until you (the other teachers no doubt put cracks in the egg; but you dropped it on the floor.) Funny how -- at first -- one can not see or know conscious-awareness like an object (later it is seen as everything), because it is too close, too intimate. It is clearly our authentic being. When it is realized it is so obvious. So damn obvious. Thank you Rupert.

[@likersfromyoulim245]

She want to become being immortal not to feel not feel any easness of life

[@parthopdas]

excellent exchange - ideal student vs ideal master. ❤

[@johnnywlittle]

In the end she (her mind) needed something to do, so Rupert provided what he’d call a compassionate concession. Instead of any old thing though, he provided which is probably the closest pointers he could’ve done under the circumstances.

[@kevy1yt]

What a gift of explaining This.

[@GraceNow1]

That was so crystal clear. I love how he gives her a practice that anyone can do, anyone. Wonderful. I've been listening to Rupert for several months now and find his videos to be generally a step above many of the other nonduality teachers out there today, cutting through the BS. Not much humor or animation, sadly, but great pointers. Thank you, Rupert!!!

[@Sowingthewinds]

Beautiful compassionate, your gift of explaining unexplainable Blessings

[@songwritersvillage4538]

Great teaching by the flowers here, Rupert went on a bit 😉

[@dingstella1754]

This makes me cry

[@emmav9401]

For Predrag Ivanović: what you write is right, yet you use your mind ( intellect) a lot to argue or prove your point. Intellectual argues, but a sage (one who trully knows through experience) announces. Let each bud open in its own season, we cannot force it. Topli pozdrav.

[@jaguarazul]

Thanks 😍🙏

[@kd9683]

Beautiful!

[@ZenMountain]

Thank you!!!

[@neerasharma9451]

Thanks beyond words !

[@jeara69]

Namaste, just amazing guidance, thank you!

[@4422michael]

Thanks.

[@joy860]

Thank you...

[@JeanJaquesMath]

I can't understant why you don't have more subscribers.

[@saidas108]

+Lo Bellver Many are resistant as it challenges everything they believe to be true and they feel threatened by it although they are not aware of the fact.

[@hereandnow5235]

It's not threat it just doesnt work, maybe for him only and the rest are just put them self into believing that they understood something

[@Progenitor1979]

People seem to prefer simpler metaphors, like from Tolle. Incidentally, why is Eckhart pursuing money so aggressively? Thoughts?

[@Progenitor1979]

Great Master

[@vidyanarasimhan1575]

Thank you so much, have listened to so many of your recordings and this one is just so beautifully clear. It is seen now how that basic, primal awareness is just overlooked in every moment, many thanks,🙏

[@lucywerner6947]

Beautifully said...it is overlooked. So often I am not consciously aware of my experience.

[@jodieeden6336]

Thank you, Rupert, for your great compassion, true wisdom and patience. your videos helped me so much, thank you

[@terristott7773]

“I am aware”. Perfect 👌🏻

[@hereandnow5235]

For this day maybe, but not the next one

[@mariozammit7065]

@@hereandnow5235 your comment is intriguing and i think it makes sense, why do you say that?

[@zombie5222]

Thanks

[@mikem8922]

Awesome video.

[@NightmarePlanet88]

Life saving

[@dr.susheelkhemariya8966]

Bahut.bahut.gretitude.abhar.thanks.

[@joecaz]

Wow!

[@markbrad123]

So guess what Rupert is saying is that when you watch inwards don' t create a container and make an apparent object. Lots of love with fizzles and tingles then into the glorious immeasurable.

[@elsaberhe9704]

WONDERFUL AND HELPFUL Q&A.🙏❤️ I totally get your questions and feelings. I was feeling the same way. The 3rd year things seemed to be much clearer. 1. Listen to the thoughts, they are passing. 2. Focus on your goal, judge less, and less.... 3. Do the right thing from love. Feel NO GUILT for mistakes, just make them right (Somethings can be redone, otherwise no need to go back, just do not repeat) 4. Listen and respond only from your true Source, Focus inwardly not external confusion. 5. As Rupert said, you will realize who awareness is whether the thoughts diminish or not. 6. Forgive yourself and others constantly Nothing is more important than GOD. 7. Take your time. There's no going back. You shall succeed. God bless❤️🙏

[@Pratik_yadaw]

How can some one this gentle😭

[@MrPrayuda]

🙏

[@The-Other-Guy]

I am aware of this video so it doesn't matter if I believe it or not!

[@tonynes3577]

People can cure their craziness. If they would only realize this.

[@SuhVamp]

In my Experience you cant find that experience when looking for it. It came to me when i didnt expect. it after monthts of beeing present at work without thinking. Then it suddenly hit me. while thought was absent for some while...

[@SuhVamp]

After that experience meditating is so mutch easyer and lost a great deal of its heavyness.

[@ujjwaladiya2471]

i am unconscious, i was still there, sometimes some people forget it because there is no memory of it, cause there was no mind, we dont know i was there or not because i dont remember,

[@manumullen88]

awareness: "open empty space mind". Sorry, but it is much more... and quite bit incredible... so, keep exploring! :D

[@nikok1292]

5:01 This was very funny

[@maheshn9970]

This is an important video. Watch it till end.

[@mirek857]

Would it be said that Heidegger's "Being" is the same as "awarness"? Both making things and us present, in-the-now, both make world exists..

[@thinlet1]

she finally got it at 12:30 :)

[@d1427]

+Tenzin Thinley no, i think she didn't- she only knows the 'correct answer'. What she got for a very short moment was that judging her thoughts and dissatisfaction with not getting her desire fulfilled was just another thought. All Rupert's attempts passed by her- she heard what was said but could not go beyond it. She is still very much understanding all this from the point of view of 'a receptor' reporting everything- from her thoughts to her openness and her awareness to HER. i experienced the same frustration of having the 'correct' answers and yet feeling that i am false as i keep wallowing in the lie. This because i was still perceiving things as outer and inner where the inner wants to get something from the outer, not allowing the body-mind be perceived as part of what is perceived, indistinguishable [part] of the now/being.

[@vanessac.175]

Hey! Just sent you a message here on KZbin! Hoping to hear back from you. :)

[@robinaguenkel7534]

👍🇩🇪

[@williamcallahan5218]

Woman with ?: "So how can I change my focus then?..." Rupert: "by having this conversation" which is another way of saying, as Krishnamurti said, that "it's the seeing that frees."

[@bertibear1300]

When I am aware I hear the commentary so do not practice as much as I want to.

[@thinlet1]

and then she looses it at 12:31 :(

[@abiamiamab9677]

Flowers should be at your right side, doesn't look balance.

[@adamturk7583]

You are not your thoughts and emotions.

[@120kishore]

The questionnaire has not have direct knowledge of self .. she knows self as a concept ( indirect knowledge)

[@JustinTweed]

she seemed more anxious and impatient looking for a result more than anything. Needs to take a deep breath

[@DLBurggraf]

The thought 'I am a body' is the stickiest one. Little kids don't have that yet. Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

[@asstornaut1066]

D Graf I AM IN a body

[@michaelmcclure3383]

iridium squad no you are not!

[@gireeshneroth7127]

In a mind posture you are objectifying yourself.

[@ujjwaladiya2471]

sometimes i am not really aware of things in my experience, that does nt mean i was not there 🫡
