The Miracle of Experience | Rupert Spira

[@phoenixrising1675]

You are by far, the most eloquent, present, effective, compassionate teacher out there... I have been listening to you for 7 years now, and it just keeps getting deeper and richer and more effective... Thank you Rupert Spira, for the brilliant non duality teacher and gorgeous being that you are....

[@likewings07]

Yes, I feel the same, too! Thank you, Rupert ❤️

[@chandra773]

Thank you very much

[@DilbagSingh-ox8li]

Is it right to listen to various teachers most of the days Or to dedicate oneself to a one teacher and give him at least few years, I am a bit confused on this issue as due to choices available due to internet I often end up listening to one teacher after another, please advice

[@evedotcom]

@@DilbagSingh-ox8li what do you feel is right? I also follow many but have found myself listening to Rupert in particular lately. I allow myself the freedom to follow natural urges with who I listen to, sometimes listening to many different teachers and other times focusing on one. I feel like if you do choose to follow one only, it should happen organically, not because someone else told you it is right.

[@DilbagSingh-ox8li]

@@evedotcom thanks dear yes it should be natural ah love you, thanks for reminding

[@IvetaWells]

I had been seeking for many years and I cannot express the joy that I found Rupert’s teachings. I finally understand very clearly who I am and am looking forward to listening to him for the rest of my human life and meeting him in person one day. I don’t have to search anymore. What a miracle I am experiencing! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@sanskrutithakkar6483]

Awww.. when will I experience...

[@RelaxedPanda2698]

Completely agree. This guy is a gem.

[@karl2247]

And don't you forget it.

[@KimBieske]

@@sanskrutithakkar6483 when you realize there is no "I" to do the experiencing. 💜

[@JuanSinMiedo441]

Many of us feel the same after a long search when we come across non duality in any of its manifestations

[@UKathryn]

"When the student is ready, the teacher will appear" - thank you so much, Rupert. Thank you.

[@AuthenticSelfGrowth]

I could listen to him all day

[@AuthenticSelfGrowth]

Ketamine is better for this sort of thing

[@Jamesgarethmorgan]

Amar Zing Maybe. But how long can you keep taking Ketamine and hold down a responsible job or bring up healthy kids. I used to do lots of drugs once. I don't anymore. I am way happier now.

[@snippetsordinarylife]

Amar Zing Yes, me too. Whenever I listen to him this beautiful love and joy flows through my heart.

[@juliangiulio3147]

well you can with Madame KZbin, at least on your day's off!

[@gabrielefranciscos5472]

I do listen to him every day The best one can do

[@johnellis414]

Whenever I'm losing direction Rupert Spira points me in the right direction again. I'm very grateful to this wonderful teacher.

[@Queenie-the-genie]

Often I fall asleep and awaken to the voice of Rupert Spira. Lucky me to have found him by accident on youTube of all places. 💛

[@neelapatel1081]

No words can describe what this gentle giant of a being has done for many of us. And finally, he has shed light on my many misgivings about silent retreats. So humorously out and so in alignment with our humanity and oneness. Thank you is an understatement Mr Spira.

[@dgonzalez85]

Blessed ❤ Rupert explains what can not be explained so clearly that it is for me a wonder how he is able to do that. Truth spoken by Sages along millennia explained to perfection using a contemporary language. A real blessing for our modern complicated world. Thanks Rupert ❤

[@dgonzalez85]

Really hope to meet you one day!

[@swissmoon99]

"Suffering vanishes as a byproduct of this exploration, not as its goal." - RS

[@duffersweeney]

Yes brilliant just like removal of thoughts is a byproduct of meditation, not a goal. Just observe.

[@adamdownes4725]

All of this is so helpful I am very grateful for these teachings! They point towards this loving space, that doesn't need anything, has nothing to do, nowhere to go, and nothing to attain. Just to be here with the unfolding of life from moment to moment without any agenda whatsoever. Peace!

[@Queenie-the-genie]

I once fell into "madness" and deep sorrow at a 10 day "silent" retreat. I had to leave early. I found the part about silently avoiding other people's eyes to be extremely disturbing. The silence was ok but I did not "grok" the purpose of avoiding eye contact. Sitting silently and eating at tables - sort of together but not. I also became physically ill, did not know why & later realised that I am allergic to tofu. The whole thing was so completely painful - both physically and emotionally. I also learned that my mind is quite extremely delusional and will take all that silence, which is like an empty screen and project on to it all of my past, false assumptions about who my ego thought I was. Finally, I am - right this moment - letting go of the intense grief, guilt and sorrow I had fallen into then - about 17 years ago now. I also remember that the monk complained that we were not sitting below him as we were supposed to be doing so we had to change our way of sitting. I was in so much physical pain and I did not know why. That experience certainly did bring up literally all of my issues but I think I was not ready to deal with so much at once - all alone. I must say that most of the others seemed to be doing fine. I think I was not ready for it as I still I had so much emotional baggage and nobody Intrusted, to help me to deal with it. I too am an artist and I very much resonate with Rupert's description of his artistic experience. I am 75 yrs old now and I am so grateful to have stumbled upon this lovely, compassionate man.

[@terefefeyssa877]

Amore: It a teaching experience. 🙏

[@sorcha3811]

I agree with Rupert here that not being allowed to look one another in the eye is extreme and the opposite of oneness, it breeds separation 💓 I'm sorry you were not in an environment that was supportive and loving. I can understand how that could add trauma to trauma! We need to be held, if even by our environment, when things like that come up.

[@madhuridas4745]

Just to let you I ve also been on a 10 day silent retreat outside Hereford. No monks! Thoroughly enjoyed it. Vipassana Meditation

[@sis4212]

Great to hear you managed to get out of it, my loving greetings,

[@grasshopprr82]

This just came to mind, that you are a truly worthy successor of Alan Watts. So eloquent, so elegant, so fluid...so clear.

[@snoozyq9576]

Exactly what I needed to hear. That self discovery doesn't have to be a discipline or a rigorous practice. Just something you feel like doing whenever

[@ejrhenriksen]

“What we want to become, is the Being that’s already there. “ it’s completely mad! 🙏🙏🙏 I bow to your wisdom Rupert, and send you love and gratitude.

[@ireneeriiter]

I always come back to Rupert for the dip into peace that is always there for me. "The Ashes of Love" is my precious piece of him that I treasure just for the opening to any page...and there I AM right there. Lovingly sent as always and forever. Irenee Riter Pleasanton, CA

[@wakeup......351]

There is a teacher for every level of understanding, some of us need far less advanced to have interest or understanding, some a median level, others more advanced. When the student is ready, the teacher appears, because they have been there for you until you come to the point you can recognize them. There will always be such teachers, we just need to grow to the point they can help us go further. These teachers are valuable at all levels, as we usually don't progress without the blessed work of walking each step of the way. The experience of incremental growth can be a wonderful journey we can share together.

[@FoolishlyAlive]

So simple yet so profound is the essence of the teaching. Stop seeking and rest with experience, abide and sink in yourself. There, everything is known

[@johntao5959]

just as Bashar says..."follow your excitement"...it's really your guide to a happy, full-filled life.

[@simonc772]

Jesus man, another fresh flower you're portraying

[@crystaljacob619]

Dear Rupert, when you talk from your life experience, understanding takes place in my heart. It makes me so happy and I feel YES somewhere in side me! I don't just say it in my head.

It’s sounds like Rupert is a classical guitarist and if so then that was a perfect explanation of the relationship between the student and the method.

[@arianeemery2960]

This is so compassionately alive. Thank you!

[@RaviPp521114]

This is just like seeing oneself and see that there`s nothing else to look at !! There`s an intoxication which makes every worldly pleasures trivial !!

[@maxrudolph1939]

Life is truly an adventure into infinite consciousness that is always here and now. Wow, the only experience there is. I am this experience. Thank You, RS.

[@paulvandervoort2410]

This was a gift. Deepest gratitude for sharing your insights and love.

[@amanakeet]

Yes, it is so absolutely miraculous that there is experience. An even bigger miracle is how often we forget that it is an absolute miracle. There could have been nothing, in fact each night in deep sleep there _is_ nothing, yet the next morning there is experience again.

[@angelabaker6556]

❤ pure blissfulness and simplicity to what we are being and objectively experiencing as source.

[@elsaberhe9704]

Thank you Rupert and all contributors of great questions... God bless. Love you John 16:33 "I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” 1CORINTHIANS 2:5 "That your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God " Thanks 💕 🙏😘

All the pieces of my experiences suddenly make sense wow! thank you Rupert for being such a Wonderful teacher and for the beautiful way you articulate and teach- finally get it!! 💕 💕😘

[@e-Multiverse]

All suffering (of any sort) hinges on the single belief . . . that 'the I' that 'I am' is a separated self.

The British accent is absolutely necessary so we don’t get the idea the topic could be addressed with a gun.

[@lindagumbleton6569]

So lovely to hear Rupert describe the coming together of the tactile experience in his love of form and the inner experience I can really relate to that as I love working with glass light and colour and it really has affirmed my sense that everything is OK just as I am expriencing it. Thank you so much.

[@nancysutton7891]

Rupert was a successful potter.

[@robertleslie5741]

The pure and genuine is clearly present in the Spirit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. If there is one playground where we can experience lasting friendships with ourselves and others, it is in the qualities of the Spirit.

[@MichelBisson7074]

with tears of joy resulting from this wonderful sharing I say a thousand thanks to you Rupert.

[@annaroing4569]

Love each and every moment! What a brilliantly clear way of explaining the "process" of evolving into more love, understanding and clarity! Every cell in my body is resonating and celebrating! Gratitude and love...

[@vani8504]

Rupert transforms inquiry into pure joy...😊😊 Very inviting to bring it into your daily life in any activities...😊❤ I have been before in Vipassana it was so much rules to follow asking a lot of discipline and doing, long Meditation hours with as consequences lot of physical pains by sitting on the floor without moving for several hours😅

[@beyethedoor]

Beautiful, takes one beyond words and thought.

[@woodmowwoodmow]

I did Vappassana & had a spontaneous awakening. I never went back to my old paradigm. So it did wonders for me & I was in the now like never before. I came out of the retreat like a child. The world became a beautiful place & I wanted to go and live in nature. I previously had no connection to nature.

[@noarelax]

"This Stuff" is pure love!

[@mindfulkayaker7737]

For some years now, the most interesting thing to do for me is to sit down to listen a Rupert video or read a fragment from some of his books, For me it is my Shravana, then I go for a walk and meditate about the teaching of Rupert (my Manana) and finally I try to perceive the world, feel my body, observes my thoughts and act in this world in a way that is consistent with the Non Dual teaching of Rupert. (Nididhyasana)

[@xblackjezusx]

Love you Rupert!!

[@alicetryggvason8621]

Namaste dear Rupert ! Thank you ! Your talk now maks me Cray , thank you , I am soo happy I am understanding sooo much better ! Blessings to you and outhers . Love from Denmark Thank you

[@dorothyscott2730]

Thank you Rupert for that wonderful explanation of your discovery of Self..... Beautiful teachings ❤

[@susanaszabo1167]

The beauty is in the experience itself, regardless what our interpretation is and if realize it in the moment over and over again, then one can laugh, love and fall in love over and over and over ... I am in love :)

[@sanskrutithakkar6483]

I discovered you just 2 days ago and you’re everything that I listen. Thank you.

[@Innocencewisdom]

Needed this talk today of the "Miracle of Experience" All the attention in spiritual work the "becoming" or what we call the "Practice" or Discipline. So appreciative of allowing us to have what is organic or original in being lovingly attentive to all that is our HUman vehicle and how it is living in the experience. To be able to hold space for the deliciousness of any of it without demands or outcomes is really the joy available in being present with the Now.

[@chrisd6982]

Rupert, 06:00 brings to mind Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's 'Flow state' theory which we are happiest when intensely focused on what interests us. Also Colin Wilson's teaching about intense focus.

"But those who disbelieved - their deeds are like a mirage in a lowland which a thirsty one thinks is water until, when he comes to it, he finds it is nothing but finds Allah (the absoluteness)..." part of the verse 39 of Al_nour (The light)/Holly Quran Th thirst is both body pain and mind sufferance, and it keeps telling you (( see - Experience - that it is just an Illusion (mirage), only then you find your truth. You are beautifully describing the truth of Experiencing as tenths of books did not, thanks for the clear and accurate examples you give.

After decades of living in Florida, I recently learned that there are crystalized clams, calcium citrate, that exist, and can be found. Beautiful little treasures, hidden all over, that have been hiding for millions of years (possibly...) waiting for me to come by and pick it up. Maybe even clean it up. But, it was waiting for me to experience, admire its beauty, and enjoy every moment spent looking for it.

[@Gaurav.P0]

You are a legend 🙂

[@geraldmccreery490]

understanding suffering is understanding what is wrong,. understanding what is wrong does not awaken what we want in life. this is based on the premise that we do not actually want to suffer but would rather be happy, studying suffering is like hitting yourself in the head in order to see how good it feels when it stops, awakening from a dream is being who you are and knowing that you are complete and awake and no longer can even entertain the idea of dreaming

[@markbrad123]

Think the miserable mistake,especially in a familiar setting is people go 'Bored Oh thats that' and then go off into a separate conceptual world 'This bla bla bla'. Find some 'Netti Netti' mirror internal noting bring one back into sync with the moment- might find it enjoying-^-enjoying rather than this 'n' that complaining. If something irrelevant and unpleasant does crop up and gets a hold, just spread it into the wider awareness and it should pop its fabricated existence like a bubble.

[@biffbeezer2048]

As I was going up the stair I met a man, who wasn't there He wasn't there again today I wish, I wish he'd go away. When I came home last night at three The man was waiting there for me But when I looked around the hall I couldnt see him there at all! Go away, go away, don't you come back any more! Go away, go away, and please don't slam the door. Last night I saw upon the stair A little man who wasn't there He wasn't there again today Oh, how I wish he'd stay away

I came home today and I opened the door with my bare hands.And I said : "Hey man!... Who tore up all my wallpaper samples?"..."And who stole all the grapes?"......"You know, the ones I was saving?"And there was this guy sitting in my chair.And he had these great big white teeth......Like luxury hotels on Florida coast lines.And when he smiled it was like a great big scar.And I said: "Hey man!...Who are you!?"And he said: "I am the soul doctor from outer space..."..."and hearing your name is better then seeing your face..."(Loni Anderson)

Realising that all the consequences of experiences of bad past, bad events, bad memories and bad activities has been elaborately gone through all the three phases of "SEPARATION", "BEGINING" and "ENDING", none of the phases has been left incomplete in any way, then life changes miraculously having no more fear and no ending except a new begining.

This makes me laugh - it's so positive, albeit in a subtle way... 'Do what you love to do! - only do that which is interesting & enjoyable!' Yes please!.. So many people would think that 's spoilt and self-indulgent, but it sort of leads into the opposite direction if one's skilful, aware about it.. As I used to reckon as a kid, what do they really know? Maybe nothing!' I didn't quite know that the world is somewhat alienated from its own true Being :)
