@SongOfCelestia my understanding is that this is still all within the ‘illusion’ that awareness is experiencing...

[@MayaLove1976]

@SongOfCelestia yes 😊 I’ve also studied it on and off for years so my interpretation may be slightly influenced from others...

[@MayaLove1976]

My understanding is we are infinite awareness experiencing separation through this dream/illusion/experience which includes these different circles/levels of the mind which can be experienced between lives as a ‘soul’ and/or collectively (a collective mind being the outer circle) within the ‘dream’ before we return/emerge back into infinite awareness. I personally understood this in his talk..

[@MayaLove1976]

My apologies, apon reading your question again, my understanding to that would be that even though there is no ‘me’ we are still experiencing a perceived separate self with a mind. So while there is no me, in the illusion there is still that experience, of separate minds that is part of one consciousness and one consciousness is still playing out separate minds within a collective mind where all memories, traumas etc exist.

I’ve just found this video on KZbin and it’s utterly amazing, Rupert is so concise, so clear and informative. For me, in my experience of listening to him he’s changing my life, it’s a continual process, I listen to him and I understand another piece of the human puzzle, I leave it for a while and carry on living my little separate existence and then I come across something like this and I’m gently forced to take another step, gently guided to more understanding, which I’m often afraid to do……thank you doesn’t seem adequate!

We already know the truth. We just don't want to accept it because it hurts.

They'd rather die with their ego intact and their family in shambles than their ego destroyed and their family saved.

Not to get too esoteric as there are several subtle bodies (etheric, astral, causal, etc) that can be impacted by trauma. These go deep sometimes even for awakened beings.

There is practical pathway to move from the physical being to the essence being using the Soul as a tool. In personal transformation, there are actual steps you can take to move from a limited mind by identifying your archetypes as a way of getting closer to your soul nature. Start with character strength, move to archetypes and in time you'll know how we move from one level of reality to another withn our one being state. It's called the Three Levels of Reality and the pathway is one of empowerment. This approach is more pragmatic and less mind driven while keeping the ind engaged in self-introspection. The mind is designed to contemplate and giving it helpful tools to do this with can narrow your self-introspection and make it creative at the same time.

[@johannboeing-messing979]

Thank you

[@sasabinsari]

basically it is an automatic contraction of the nervioussystem. the only way to get through it, is when the idividual becomes aware of the contraction - which is always in hintsight - and responds with a deep okness towards the contractions. as long as there is a reaction of 'I dont want it', the trauma remains. anyway, the mind has to understand first, because the automatic reaction of the mind in our culture, collective awareness, is and has been: "NO" (contraction of the nervoussystem). becoming aware of the 'NO" and relating the 'NO' to the truth teaches the nervoussystem to stay open no matter what. and of course, the individual will no longer 'teach' reactions to their children regarding long hold 'meanings' (=DNA, is the manifastation of related beliefs).

[@stellau3028]

Best ever thank you

[@doriesse824]

It sounds like he's speaking of the Subconscious Mind. Because of my complex trauma, I have come to learn that it is from this area our lives are controlled. There is a saying from the University of Virginia's free online "Course In Consciousness": "You are not living; you are being lived". That does not mean we are puppets on a string with no thought or say in the matter. It's like a knee-jerk reaction where sometimes you plan to react or speak in a certain manner, and something else happens that you had no intention of doing or saying. That is when the subconscious is doing the living. It's there for 'protection' against further trauma, even though it can sometimes seem to make things even worse. Our subconscious can react even just due to our programming and conditioning, or our set of perceived beliefs. I think it can be at war with what could be a peaceful life if Consciousness really could do the living.

[@amyonline7779]

Amazing explanation!!

[@tangotangoh]

More importantly is to stop creating 'trauma' in ourselves and those around us because unchecked trauma in one can create more trauma when one blames it on karma.

Good explanation. Also, the dysfunctions that limit the mind that are caused by traumas also tend to hide themselves in various ways. What is important is eliminating these dysfunctions, not just ignoring or accepting them. Unfortunately, neither psychiatry nor psychology has any techniques that do this, so other solutions must be sought.

[@janelemmeke2266]

For me . Where trauma resides, or is, . Is irrelevant, when I experience it, I know it created by my thought, brought through time as a memory . Instead of analyzing this, working to calm it. Etc. I see it for what it is, an illusion, that feels real, but is not. I let it go.

[@XOXO-mb2vh]

The perforated circles he explains about are buffers. There are tides that come in and out. Expansion of awareness. Levels of incoming and outgoing thoughts, etc. Everything has a tide. Everything is connected at the biggest level to the smallest. Nothing is working by itself. Yet some levels are less consciously aware of farther out boundaries. Everything operates on a need to know basis. I and you have a common nutrient. That is everywhere. It's not necessary for us to know the why, we just need to be aware.

So I can heal my trauma through bathing it in the light of awareness is what he's saying?

[@doriesse824]

Jeff L He said bathing in the warm water of Awareness, like a stick-drawing in the sand being slowly, systematically washed away over many repetitions of the tide washing over it. I suppose the mechanism by which this works is that eventually the trauma is supposed to be let go of because the sub-conscious mind will eventually realize it wasn't real? However, I thought there was no way to access the sub-conscious mind because there is no one there who is listening. These traumas carry over from lifetime to lifetime if they are unhealed, so how can they be effectively dealt with? Maybe it's a system (subconscious mind) that can be turned off or no longer noticed?

[@awarenesszen8321]

I think it's more to do with awareness transmuting the trauma and allowing the body unit to find balance and integration. Once you start exploring sensations in a mindful and nonjudgemtenal way, the healing can be quite profound. This is similar to what Peter Levine outlines in his Somatic Experiencing system (which is a good place to start if you want to heal from trauma).

[@eldonscott9]

I would encourage you to perhaps put aside the word “heal”, just as an experiment. That’s what I’ve worked on throughout my traumatized life. Healed/not healed is such a polarizing prison, you know? He’s telling you that you can start bathing... so just start taking baths, practice taking baths and in those moments let that be enough... breathe and trust and let go and all of that. What do we have to lose if we’re suffering through trauma? At some moment ALL have to step away from the questioning mind and free fall...

[@jonashjerpe7421]

@@Bonpu You're right. The most powerful parts of the trauma we typically repress. Sometimes we can consciously remember events, but the painful feelings are repressed. Sometimes we don't even have an intellectual recollection of what we been through. Regardless of the level of our repression, the symtoms of the trauma and all the repressed pain tend to haunt us. We are always on the run, living in exile as it were. Meditation and psychotherapy are great means if we need to gradually release the repressed pain, heal and thus liberate ourselves. But sure, it is especially hard if you don't even understand that you have suffered severely. Childhood trauma are oftentimes of that sort. We think we had a normal childhood but our hearts are bleeding. I guess I am trying to say that the symtoms--the anxiety, the despair, the depressions, the addictions etc--are really what should guide us in trauma work to begin with. Eventually we dig down to the root trauma, but when the work starts it is a good rule of thumb to presume that most of it is repressed. Thus lack of memory as to the cause of the trauma need not and should not hinder anyone from healing, presuming they suffer from the usual symtoms that is. Thanks!
