Where Is Consciousness Located?

[@Wanderer1]

Blue shirt guy is absolutely blissed out haha

[@elvisonthemoon]

Thanks for highlighting that. I sincerely don't understand why in all this retreat videos, some of the participants are constantly appearing with eyes shut in meditative mode while another person, or Rupert himself, is talking, it all seems to go against human instinct. They may not be aware of this, but from the outside they look completely selfish, even solipsistic, and why not?...rude. I have only been once to one of this live events with Rupert Spira, and that was years ago at the Rudolf Steiner house in London. It was my very first and only experience of the kind, and all throughout the event I kept feeling like the odd one out just for naturally directing my attention to Rupert's words, and the exchange that followed later with the audience. Sorry about this negative comment but I couldn't hold it anymore.

You can checkout anytime but u can never leave. I felt eventually, from a nondual perspective, that this was an unintentionally profound observation.😮

[@sampoornamkannan]

Consciousness is the basic canvas on which the Universe manifests. So there's no question of where in macro cosmic realm. In individuals it appears to manifest inthe space/cave of spiritual heart. Appears because it's there everywhere, but cause of action is from heart center.

[@zachburnett2433]

Can some of you beautiful beings explain this me? There seems to be too many unexplained issues about life in this non-dual tradition. I've spent about a year now listening and learning from Rupert/Francis/Klein and all the masters like Maharshi and Nisargadatta as well as the Parsons/Newman camp. I get all of the differences but am still bothered by something missing from all of it. I'm not religious but simply by natural life in general, as well as knowing about the natural order of creatures in general that it seems there is some kind of eternal mind or intelligent designer of some kind. When I've sat for awhile and simply looked at the basic order of things I see that the sun comes up and goes down, my cat chases birds, the squirrel eats nuts....and even though I'm not the body or mind when I'm with my wife and she's in the mood I simply go with the flow and it seems my body and mind really have a back seat. It's simply my nature. How does it not make more sense that some kind of designer has put everything in place to work so properly and effortlessly? I simply cannot buy the theory that everything is just energy or a Consciousness that is void of original intelligence. Help

[@zachburnett2433]

I forgot to mention the in the Jewish/Christian/Muslim traditions it says that man is made in the image of a creator and is therefore a spirit. The body is simply what the spirit/awareness is being held in until death. This seems to make perfect sense to my experience knowing I am not my body or thoughts but also eternal unchanging spirit of some kind. Why is everything in life so beautiful in form yet so incredibly complex in the dna and all the functions of all the forms? All of life is so effortlessly and seemingly worked out all the while we are simply here like fish in aquarium flowing threw it all and knowing we have absolutely nothing to do with all this complex function and beauty. Strange how an apple fits so perfectly in my hand.

[@mikejohn2307]

He might be right; he might be wrong. I don't think anyone on earth "knows" what consciousness is or where it is located.

@@terefefeyssa877 you can, if you were not aware, then you wouldn't know either way, aware or not. That checking for the answer is Consciousness. Are you male or female? Is it sunny outside? To answer these you need consciousness. That's what it is

Mind awareness is not in the brain because mind and brain are not the same. The mind is spiritual awareness and very different from the physical brain.

the real consciousness is omnipresent..but to really know It you have to make all of anything created dissappear so that it can appear as awareness/consciousnes self-effulent genderless clear light ( the face of god) and peace..

[@vga-t7m]

most definitely not inside this or any other sphere of any sort. each life is a conscience. when more than one cell get together and create a life form a conscience is what has been created. multi cell lives created all the varied species of life over time by learning of their own accord.

[@robertallen6710]

Rupert?

[@chiptowers1]

That is not the point ie " where is consciousness located', the real point is what is the purpose for awareness and consciousness and to where is the awareness information being relayed to for it's purpose. This teacher is attempting to present Consciousness a a reality and a knowledge source. Reality couldn't care less about the state of consciousness nor someone's perception. Reality is its own entity because it's random and according to Universal matter formulation. Random means happening without method or conscious decision. Consciousness is fleeting and requires a faculty which is the mind, both that are non physical and both require a faculty which is the physical brain. Consciousness and awareness are simply just tools to inform the physical brain which inform the Physical Source within of its surrounds for the purpose of Evolving to survive. The mind nor consciousness cannot form anything especially not a physical brain and body nor a physical brain cannot form a physical body. That would mean a Source initially Formed to then give rise to the intelligent species physical body and brain. Hence, you your lineage was initially FORMED not BORN. Consciousness was nowhere to be seen nor had a hand in that process.

[@KevinTarver-x3s]

The same damn questions over and over

[@bille77]

So does this mean that being is exactly the same as consciousness?

[@AD-kv9kj]

You're getting lost in words, as does Spira who is a man trying to make a living by selling something he hasn't fully understood. Words and concepts are not reality and you're concerning yourself with something that has no meaning rather than simply observing what's happening, including yourself/your own mind and all it's reactions, which is what these people (at best) try to recommend. Talking, thinking and debating words and concepts is an endless and pointless cycle when it comes to understanding the totality of life, which is all-inclusive of absolutely everything including you. All these words are merely trying primitively to point to being quiet and observing actuality, so do it. Or don't do it if you don't care to, it's your life.

Awareness knows nothing of Nonduality or Rupert, nothing belongs to me, I cannot know presence conceptually, there is no seasoning I must add to the meal, I am already free, there is nothing too great or small, and if I imagine otherwise, find myself caught in dreams, why is it always the current dream which I say is too great, that too is imagination.

[@holgerjrgensen2166]

The I, and Consciousness is always Here and Now. the I, is the Only Real Steady Point, in Existence. Consciousness is an Inner Space, and the Day-Consciousness, is what Rupert call 'awareness'. Motion become time, and time become Time-Spaces. Consciousness is pictured in Rainbow, it is the Same set of Abilities, (Colors) in a technical composition, as make This Device work so well. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo. Instinct, Gravity, Feeling, Intelligence, Intuition, Memory. Automatic, Power, Sensors, Logic/Order, (*), Harddisc. Intuition* need more text to explain.

[@TheLeoPoint]

Wonderful question? But dont know why that non furtile farm smiling like he thinks he knows everything 😂 Consciousness means gyana 'Knowledge' For instance Imagine there is a 'clay pot' who knowing it ? Me .. Then the physical existence of clay pot is outside but im The knower who knows it in the form of knowledge im grasping it, hence im claiming/says that pot is exist ,Like the person sitting next to you exist bc you are known him or how could we prove it ,. Nice now what is shape size colour weight of knowledge/consciousness? :) non of them but one thing im sure that i who knowing it aware of it Vastness/infinite The space inside & outside of empty clay pot ! are those two different ? No,space cant be split or different That's why there is nothing like inside and out But we think this way, that is why it feels like inside and outside to me. ,infinite vastness is something we cant think or count or measure it else it would be fall under space like tiny or vast inside or out height or weights beginning or end Like our body attributes and all surrounding comes under the time and space ,but knowledge consciousness being knower experiencer We can't describe it in words The world exists because I know it experiencing it constantly in the form of knowledge or how could we state it ? And theres no different multiple consciousness like your consciousness and and my consciousness ,but essence is the same

[@olivierjasko]

But where's the mind located? I can't find the mind either.

[@dorinamary7863]

As with all "things", it can only be located in Consciousness, and IS Consciousness. Rupert calls it a "modulation".

[@muntee33]

Its both. But neither at the same time. It is of a vastness that uses a 'machine' (the body) to secure a fixed point of accessibility into this existence. It peeks through a peeks through a tiny portal which is constructed by a part of the machine which takes information about the external reality and sends it to the information processing center. This processing center uses the intrinsic, inherited and imprinted coding to arrange the information in the various configurations and send this configuration of arrangements for the conscious mind to experience. It is like an oxygen mask for a living being who wants to occupy an area with air not fit to sustain life. You can take this further and consider the astronaut inba space suit which allows him to remain in existence in an environment absolutely incompatible with the persons biology. Take this a couple of steps further and you see the mind is a mechanism for a being of some nature to enter into a reality it is completely and utterly incompatible with. It can not even 'see' the reality for itself, it has to develop a machine that is capable of the sensory which perceive the plane of reality which is of a incomparably lower energy spectrum that permits the formation of the physical universe. Without the mind we would be as a fish or less. The point it interacts with the brains information is at an adjacent structure which can detect the wave forms and harmonics of the information and decode it to perceptually configure the information in the minds eye. This area which receives the em wave signals is not in one location as the harmonics produce 3d standing waves which need to be captured across its entire wavelength. But the depiction in the minds eye comes from the focal point of that field, an infinitesimally tiny dimensionless point. But it is none the less an unmistakable point. As though everything that 'you' are exists in a higher dimension and you're peeking through the bodies mind in order to 'inhabit' a realm that is like no other. So its here but nowhere and infinitesimally small yet monumentally, epically vast and grand, in a way that makes this universe feel like a constricting fluid that's on the inside of a sealed cereal box. And your looking at this world through augmented goggles that are linked to a tiny remote controlled puppet with an operating system interface that is plugged in to the mind at the atomic level. The mind can also use some cheat codes to manipulate the brains functionality to be able to receive other wave forms from the external reality beyond its own physical universe.

[@nitishgautam5728]

Repeat a false statement , it will feel like real and right , all of your body feelings will tell you , you are right . I just invite people to judge whether this knowledge by these gurus are logical or reasonable to believe. I think it's pseudoscience because all they are building hypothesis over hypothesis and trying to find evidence which supports it . This make us so biased .

So is consciousness experiencing itself vibrating (tantric path) or is consciousness experiencing its dream (advaita)?

[@daasdasdasdasd-j5w]

seems like rupert is on the advaitic approach

Sometimes he seems to be, but then he also says that is a “lesser level of understanding” and seems to infer that the Tantric path of inclusion is “the top of the mountain.”
