The Key to Understanding the Meaning of Life

[@tiffanyjoleenbowserdimeco6294]

Thank you Rupert. Your voice is so beautiful and soothing.🙏🏽 The realization that my sense of being or “l” and knowing all perceptions, sensations, emotions are the same thing. Then recently those apparently different things (perceptions, sensations, emotions) have all collapsed into one space and it’s very clear that when my mind isn’t labeling anything, that everything is simply knowing. When I stay with it, the sense of separation evaporates. There is a child like bubbling joy that comes and a deep, deep sigh of relief… a rooted ness in peace as peace. Your teachings over the past 2 years have brought me home and I am eternally grateful.🦋❤️

Traduction en Français : Merci Rupert. Votre voix est si belle et apaisante.🙏🏽 La prise de conscience que mon sens d'être ou « l » et la connaissance de toutes les perceptions, sensations, émotions sont la même chose. Puis récemment, ces choses apparemment différentes (perceptions, sensations, émotions) se sont toutes effondrées dans un seul espace et il est très clair que lorsque mon esprit n’étiquette rien, tout n’est que connaissance. Quand je reste avec, le sentiment de séparation s'évapore. Il y a une joie enfantine bouillonnante qui vient et un profond, profond soupir de soulagement… un enracinement dans la paix en tant que paix. Vos enseignements au cours des 2 dernières années m'ont ramené à la maison et je vous en suis éternellement reconnaissant.🦋❤ ​

Thankyou for writing this could not have put it any better..❤

[@willywagtails7984]

Can I please ask is there something you have been "doing" over the last two years while watching Rupert, that has helped you come to this clarity.?Is it simply coming back to this sense of "I"again & again persistently & putting the teaching first above all else?. Experientially I can relate have touched this space on numerous occasions..but keep "forgetting"especially when around other people...i hope this makes sense have trouble with the right words sometimes..thankyou in advance for your response❤🙏?

@@willywagtails7984Hello my friend. I understand exactly what you’re experiencing. It seems to be the way our true nature gradually divests itself of the personal sense of self… it’s a process almost. Every chance you get when your thinking mind isn’t required.. like taking out the trash, driving, doing the dishes, simply relax you awareness in or backwards allow it to open and allow everything simultaneously. The pressure of your feet on the floor, the water on your hand and how it sounds, the visual perception of the plate… etc…Be aware of awareness and fully in the present moment and with those simple tasks completely. That slows the mind. Those tasks don’t require thought… you will see it’s a happening. It flows through you as you… but it’s not the personal you doing… because that doesn’t exist. You realize you are the pressure of your feet on the ground. You are the perception of the dish. You are the sound of water going down the drain… it’s all just knowing and they are all the same when your mind is still. Your sense of knowing you are and everything perceived collapses into a single knowing…you. It gradually makes itself known around people… it takes awhile… because our thoughts are very active around people usually… but your mind quiets the more you go back and rest as awareness and know yourself as that. Make it the primary interest in your life after work and family responsibilities and you begin to realize “what you seek is also seeking you”. With love and kindness. Tiffany 🦋

Again, moving forward with him, he creates ever more refined tools for rescuing us out of the quagmire of convoluted delusion. A brilliant, humble, delightful, compassionate teacher is he.

[@meemaflowers9446]

he sure is, well said. I was lucky to meet him in Berkeley almost 10 years ago. He was so sweet, a precious soul.

This simple but profound meditation brought me out of a horrible negative spiral of pointless rumination about circumstances beyond my control. Thank you Rupert 🙏

Beautiful...the ultimate truth....the screen seems concealed and revealed.....the peace seems concealed and revealed.....the presence seems concealed and revealed.....the here seems concealed and revealed....with just a tiny subtle shift of attention.....

Beautiful, thank you Rupert. The timelessness of our being is what we more readily connect to in such moments.

Rupert often says that being aware of being aware is not a special experience...well it was a pretty special experience that caused Eckhart to sit on a park bench for months and months

[@BrentBonar-tz3jx]

Rupert thank you. Like the master gunnery sergeant, you have earned your stripes.. Many years of experience and knowledge are much appreciated. Thanks for sharing all this . BTW. Will you be my guru ? 😊

Jesus is the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through him.

[@jsdclight]

He ment that as through the God within you can do it too as Christ not that he is the only way

[@bille77]

But isn't the recognizing of the screen, the awareness of being, yet another experience, albeit self-awareness. The self is aware of itself. Space being aware of itself. And that's all there really is.

If academic science is about the outer world, and Buddhism seeks to discover the universal laws of nature about the inner world, then Buddhism is akin to physics because they both are concerned with structure that all other sciences must agree with. Since Buddhism came first, just like chemistry and biology were responses to physics, so are Islam and Christianity responses to Buddhism; Buddhism and physics make it possible for their subsequent sciences, including the resolution of considerable confusion in the science that preceded them, namely, astronomy and Judaism. Just like with applied physics, we are at a stage in the history of science of the inner world where engineers doing applied awakening are collaborating and consensus making so that technology can be designed by these experts. While many householders over the centuries since The Buddha have tried to design their own technology, in the future, just like with the technology of the modern economy, will be designed by experts on behalf of householders who will learn from them how to use it.

Life is just made up of a whole lot of different mad fleeting ideas. That's all it is. Eg. Exploring all those ideas temporarily. Figments of the dream state. Just like a cloud forever changing, coming together then breaking up. Our lives are just like that. It's just that so many ppl would like to control things, to prolong certain pleasurable moments more, and have life go a certain idealistic way, which is desirable🤗. God is not about being desirable and pleasurable. It's a lie that God makes out, for this experience to spin out. Just like the idea of this awesome place called 'heaven' is also a lie, an illusion of sorts. No different to Earth appearing like a wonderful exciting place to go and explore from heaven😜. We are nothing more than like an artificial simulation playing out these many ideas. Most of which we have to 'improvise', purely because God isn't that abundant and capable that way. And certainly cannot sustain such fantasies, even if they can be explored for real.

[@MrTurboCat21]

@@SaxonShore That's one way of looking at it👍. Depending on how much indulgence of life of course, otherwise should get back to shore safely😉. But I think for the majority of us, life is a slow sinking boat.

[@vanessa4u4evr]

To me there is no real meaning to life. It is simply - an opportunity to make of it what we wish, being that this is a free-will zone and all.
