Collapsing the Separation Between Awareness and the Objects of Experience

[@jdncoke2]

this is EXACTLY what i needed to see today, i disliked ruperts stuff some time back - only because i simply was ignorant, now i'm further in to the journey i realise this guy is absolutely on point. thank u

[@davidhollyfield7310]

We're so lucky to have Rupert and Mooji Baba, so different in style but carrying the exact same message. Two of the greatest teachers the world has ever known. And so needed in these times. 🕉️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕉️🙏

[@habibihadid1620]

Summarising all of rupert’s teachings: When you ask yourself the question “am i aware”...you refer to an objective-quality less experience of being aware and a thought rises “yes”. If you stay with that experience after the thought (being aware of being aware),awareness gradually ,in time ,loses its limitations and the true nature of awareness will shine as it is .This process is called self abidance.

[@divinehumanity7586]

I think the point here is the reconciliation between the "I" and the "me". The "me" is contained within "I", not the other way around. The "I" is the same energy that animates all bodies. It is the belief that there is a real "me" that is separate from this "I" that causes the confusion and apparent division. But even after this is seen, a human being still has to live it's life and that means separation. But the difference is it knows that the separation is in appearances only now.

I had this experience the other week. I meditate mysefl to sleep most nights recently. The other night I got into a deep state and I could feel by body in a none personal sense. It reminded me of when I had psychosis many years ago and I was working in a ticket office, putting tickets in enveopes. I looked at my hands and they were just working on their own. My entire experience was in autopilot. I freaked out though and my separate self took back control. It almost feels like possession.

[@Busabuck100]

Can relate.

[@ViaMirage]

I think it's because the freedom of totality hasn't been felt as "ours" yet. Remember it's not just that we are aware of that which is known, we are that. So even if everything arises freely, without a seperate controller (as if on autopilot), the fact that it is all "ourselves" (made of I), makes I both free from what arises and at the same time it is utterly myself. But I have that too, so I've been contemplating it.

I've disappeared while doing artwork. I've watched my hands do the work without me. I am sorry your experience was unsettling. I guess I've been lucky.

The dream avatar has fleeting moments of Consciousness that all co-arise with objects of mind and form. The nondual Awareness belongs to the dreamer who dreams us all. Rest in that.

[@cerimite7674]

From my meditation experience, as that is all I can reference, one must quiet all thoughts. Messages will be given. Although these messages seem illogical at the time they ultimately prove profoundly logical.

[@serafimsousa5383]

That is "my" experience too. Deep understandings, and many false ideas just collapse. "Be stil and God will fight for you". "I" am the living proof of that. "My" deep depresion was the black key that led me to the "gold". More, much more than gold. God. Peace beyond all understanding. Blessings.

0:34 - "...and it's a funny sort of experience because it does seem to take away the fullness of experience that I've, that I know, you know that I've experienced and … it's something else but it just isn't coming at the moment…" The funny sort of experience, like a tragicomedy: "King Lear" relaxes and dissolves himself as "John Smith", the solution..., he forgets "the script", the question…, but unfortunately, not recognizing himself at that very moment, wonders about something else...

You are completely right. If the experiencer is the experience then how can Rupert say that the experiencer is not the experience. He is misleading

[@QED_]

@@ikwartin No, not necessarily misleading or contradictory. Consider the analogy of a lake . . . and waves on the lake. The lake IS the waves (they are both water) -- Krishnamurti But the waves (experience) are NOT the lake (experiencer) -- Spira.

@@QED_ If the lake is the substance of the wave then how can anyone say that the wave is not the lake? The truth of the issue is that there is no such thing as wave. Wave is a name falsely imposed on the lake.

[@cristiandececco]

From Nisargadatta Maharaj: - Before you acquired this knowledge "i am", that is the real state. - The Absolute doesn't know itself at all. - Your true identity is beyond this quality of "i amness". - Before the knowledge "I am" appeared on you, that is Parabrahman. - If you revert properly, this consciousness "i am" will disappear. - The Parabrahman does not know that it is. - The "i amness" is a part of the play, you are prior to "i amness". - When you didn't know that you were, that is your true state. - TImeless, spaceless existence doesn't know that it is. That is reality, that is truth. - I, the Absolute, am not the "i amness". - When the "i am" goes into oblivion, that is the eternal state; no form, no beingness. - Without reason or cause, the consciousness spontaneously appears on the Absolute. - I am the perfect state, when the "i amness" was not. - As the Absolute i have no experience of my self. - One is the Absolute: no i am. Two is consciousness: i am. Three is space, world. - This sense of presence is unreal, like a dream. - It must happen that the cosciousness it is no longer conscious of itself. - Consciousness disappearing there will be no sense of presence. - When beingness forgets itself, that state is Parabrahman. - Feeling that i am present depends on having a body. I am neither the body nor the conscious presence. - Liberation means it, consciousness, is no more there.

[@MiscName1493]

Ken Wilber discusses primordial ignorance in The Atman Project. Self is formless identity independent of any material knowledge or the body. I do not mean that Self identity is mental impressions in a bardo prior to rebirth or that Self identity is prior to birth, or associated with phenomenon. I am saying there is a State which is differentiated from pre-birth or bardo where Self identity is experienced without any reference point or knowledge of material existence. And that experience is primary & immediate knowledge. Just as we know sense experience but as a separate Class of reality such that we are not associated with any material existence. So I'm just differentiating the Formless self identity as one Class of existence. I believe that is the referent of the Soul. In other words...that is the State of Self Identity that Hindus reference as Atman. Self in God. But the State (experience) of Lacking self identity is primordial ignorance and we must be careful in Classifying observations. Primordial ignorance should not be Classed as enlightenment. It is a pre-temporal observation which is pre-birth. An observation of ignorance rather than the vast observation and experience of greater awareness.

[@cristiandececco]

According ti Nisargadatta: Atman or Brahman is the knowledge "i am" or the "feeling of being": being aware of being aware. Parabramhan Is beyond that, It Is "pure being". Pure being does not know that It Is.

[@MiscName1493]

@@cristiandececco This is similar to saying No witnessing self awareness exists in Primary/Immediate experience. So the question is Who is witnessing that observation? However I was speaking from my experience regarding the soul. I was distinguishing a State observation of Soul identity which is not influenced by the knowledge of birth or material existence. Differentiating that specific State from a bardo or pre-birth. However the State you describe is in question from my standpoint. Does God experience IT'S own immediate State without the filter of IT's own Witnessing Awareness? Certainly we can consider that possiblity as we are able to experience the Formless Witness (Soul). But my concern is how that observation would be differentiated from the State of primordial ignorance. That is an important distinction. Realistically we have to question how yogis in earlier generations were able to characterize those differences. Consequently I try to keep my language very clear. Some observations of previous yogis may be primordial. In other words, there may have been some confusion when classifying the experience. Some Buddhists and Hindus seem to agree an observation exists where all things are simply "arising". I agree that can occur to a limited extent but it is not a " lens free" observation... It remains a lens perspective. And it remains only one Class of observation among multitudes of viewpoints. If there is a yogi reading this who can access the "Arising" observation I ask you to take a look at that carefully. I get you can observe a lot in that State perspective but I suspect the view remains a "Primary" experience of Subtle witnessing. If you say it is without self identity please list and describe features of the observation. Or are you simply in the Formless Self (Soul lens) observing the Formless State ( which is a lens perspective noticing the "I'm Formless in the Formless". I get this is awkward because in non-dual perspective these observations are known simultaneously. If you find Ten yogis who can describe this stuff we might all understand this a bit differently. I think each generation I think we simply work on clarification.

How to overcome FEAR of UNKNOWN when UPWARD PULL comes & I resist. It happens many times with me.

[@peter.cerrato]

The fear of the unknown dissolves gradually the more you know YOURSELF as AWARENESS. It's an identity problem, like Rupert described in the "King Lear" example. Fear can only be experienced because you mistake YOURSELF for something (limited/separate self = ego/person) that you are not! When this illusion fades away because you directly experience YOURSELF as AWARENESS, that means you "KNOW" YOURSELF directly, fear cannot be present. And never resist something you don't want to experience, because you become what you resist. Namaste

Object's experience comes from the seer , in the secondary foam the seer awareness seeds from the pure consciousness ocean when we do work in the duality modalities the secondary foam of objects experience from the seer then when we finished then our consciousness energy's withdraw from the seer for example while sleep we don't experiencing the objective duality world why because we withdrawn all the energy's from the seer it's something that we collapse the seer energy's from the objects.

[@hannahmiller2400]

I’ve been watching a lot of Ruperts videos very recently and I am slowing understanding it, not all admittedly, but I’m slowly grasping at it. A question I have is could science in our reality prove the truth? Will it lead us to the truth about universal consciousness? If infinite consciousness has manifested everything including science would it ever lead us to the right path or something completely different that could fit into our reality? I’m not even sure if you can make sense of that lol

D: Yes I can confirm M: So the awareness is aware of the questions, but is not asking any questions. Is that correct? D: I don't know... M: Behind this thought that says "I don't know" there is an awareness that is aware of this thought can you confirm? D: Yes M: Ok So Whatever is perceived by the awareness is not you because you are the awareness that is perceiving everything, Yes? D: Yes but First you say what is perceived by awareness is not me, and than that I'm awareness... M: Yes but the awareness is not perceived You are the awareness That is the source of all perceieving That source can't be perceived D: Yes M: You can only be D: Yes I know this!!! When I don't think I'm (awareness) only observed the things around me M: No When you are the awareness You don't think Not the other way around What does it mean "when" It is when you are fulfilling your function as the pereceiving awareness Keep confirming in the present moment that you are nothing that is perceived Be present only as the perceiving itself Whatever appears be present as the perceiving Do not let thoughts, emotions, sensations go unobserved D: Yes.

M: It is perceived The sense of "I" that does things Is also perceived It is not you Please confirm D: Yes I know M: This "I" that knows is also perceived D: Yes yes I understand everything you said M: No Do not identify as the "I" that understands That I is also perceived If it is perceived it is not you Then do not speak it Because it does not exist Only the perceiving exists So speak as the perceiving consciousness Not as whatever is perceived Ofcourse the perceiving consciousness does not speak D: What should consciousness say... Hehehhe I know M: No All of it is perceived You are not the "I" that knows If you identify as it; you put yourself in a limitation Because now you operate from this thought that declared itself as "I know" And you are not perceiving all thoughts, emotions and sensations that appear now Because you are too comfortable and identified with the "I" that knows or changes shapes all the time The "I" that knows is the "I" that thinks So if "I know" then "I think" and then "I suffer" Instead of I know Be aware of I know And see that even the awareness of "I know" is perceived And remain only in that place in which you are perceiving the awareness When you see "everything is perceived" and after every thought you have the confirmation "everything is perceived" even that is perceived by this last perceiving is without a voice There is no voice that is confirming that the last perceiving There is only the perceiving left alone D: Wooooow I get it now!!!!! M: No You are not the "I" that gets it That is also perceived D: Okay M: These are all reactions perceived D: Yes, D gets it M: No Ivana is perceived And tell me now That Ivana is perceived What is it truly In reality From the place of seeing the awareness itself What is Ivana It is just perceived It does not exist D: Ivana is perceived by the awareness M: Yes It is essentially a thought Perceived So how can A thought Get it? Ivana did not get it Because Ivana does not exist Only the true absolute consciousness thata you are is able to be aware and perceive the awareness itself So no one got it There is nothing to get in the first place There is just the perceiving And everything is perceived Including that which points and says "the perceiving exists" Even that is perceived instagram.com/iameternallife/
