I have always referred to the same feeling/knowing when I said 'I' even before I knew anything of non-duality. Through all my experiences 'I' has never changed. 'I' never changes. I was always confused when I heard Rupert say, 'Are you aware?', I always said Yes, this is my experience 24/7. Now I understand, it is exactly that it has never changed. What I referred to when I said 'I' has never changed and it never will. I understand Ramana Maharishi's title Be as you are. I feel no different than I have ever felt. The only difference is that I see I have never changed and I never will.
It is so wonderful to wake up to such wonderful compilations! It sets the mood and momentum for the day, esp in these current times. Reminds me of the words in the desiderata..... to go placidly amidst the haste and noise and remember what peace there may be in silence... thanks so much Alan 🙏🙏
Thanks for these amazing recordings and postprocessing them. With this particular one, an interesting question arose in me and remained unanswered. When all our thoughts arise randomly and the notion of chooser of the thoughts comes only later as a separate thought, why are we sometimes able to think so precisely and systematically? It really feels like there has to be some very smart controller who exactly selects the thoughts in order to keep track with all the previous thoughts. A good example is an issue at work that one needs to solve. All ones thoughts are very well organized in order to come up with an optimal solution.
Yes, we can see in our experience that solutions come from consciousness and are only formulated in thought. Einstein said that he conceives of a problem that he wants to solve, then swims in silence and the answer is given.
The Implicate Order is dimensionless stillness, the Explicate Order is described in language and the mystery is, that they are a whole: we are consciousness and we live a practical life!
Separate selves with their own pool of conditioning create the stories,thoughts,actions. Is there any life without these stories happenings in space and time?
suman joshi Yes, it's a amazingly beautiful but to have intamacy with that, while simultaneously being free from it is the goal. All we need to do is to accept the apparent paradox and have the full experience of life
Appealing to one’s direct experience as final arbiter leads ultimately to shut in solipsism. Such parochial fixation on “how things are for us” is precisely what science breaks out of through falsifiable speculation and experimentation generating a cybernetic feedback circuit linking experience with the vast unknown outside of experience.
Reminds me of a part of A COURSE IN MIRACLES - ORIGINAL EDITION TEXT CH 18, VII par 56 jcim.net The body is a limit imposed on the universal communication which is an eternal property of mind. But the communication is internal. [It is not made up of different parts which reach each other.]* Mind reaches to itself. It does not go out. Within itself it has no limits, and there is nothing outside it. [It encompasses everything.] It encompasses you entirely; you within it, and it within you. There is nothing else, anywhere or ever. *material in brackets was added from original shorthand notes. www.jcim.net/acim_us/TxtChap-18-7.php
Listening to Rupert ,It's so freeing instantly. I do feel though that I am giving directions to my thoughts when I'm day dreaming or fantasizing, or gossiping. Sometimes when there is a connected train of thoughts that's when I feel I'm thinking those thoughts. But when the thoughts are random or disconnected that's when I feel they just come at me or to me from nowhere. So are there some thoughts that we think and others we don't?
It seems like that but when we look for a thinker, we don't find one. The reason they seem to be 'ours' is because thought seems to patterns itself as individual mind activities. I'm posting a mind compilation next week. Check it out 😊
@@alanneachell9092 Awareness is perpetual, but a thought(s) is periodic and sporadic; hence the reason, that we dream even when unconscious. Awareness is beyond any cerebral instincts... awareness simply becomes aware of its thoughts from a proximate approach: which then allow us to become aware and experience both, in psychosomatic fusion.
"...for practical purposes." In other words, for living life as a human being. First there are mountains and rivers, then there are no mountains and rivers, then there are mountains and rivers again.
I have a mood disorder and sometimes feel as though I am drowning in pain. Thinking and feeling become a vortex. I have just started listening to Rupert online and know to be aware of being aware of these feelings and also not to resist them. Sometimes though, I have suicidal thoughts and cannot ever say yes, I can live with these feelings forever. It seems impossible. My family sees these feelings as selfishness which destroys my self esteem. Can I change using the (methods) that people without brain disorders learn? Right now I feel desperate and want to resist but it pervades relentlessly. Is self-pity what I am doing?
We can all only do our best so don't beat yourself up. Relaxing body and mind for even short moments can bring relief. Don't try to extend the periods of rest, that will happen naturally if you persist in the short moments whenever you remember. If you need to take medication you should continue with that. You can find me on Facebook if you want to chat further.
I partially understand what he's saying however if I jump completely on board with it then all thought comes from a central thinker who produces not only kind or mundane thoughts but evil ones as well. Killing people, beating children harming animals? Thoughts of doing these things don't enter my head but we know they do some. Are they then not responsible for the actions that follow? Action comes from thinking and thinking is beyond our control so no one should be held accountable? Why would pure "loving awareness" put those thoughts out to begin with? Who put the thought in my head to ask this question to begin with and who am I asking it of? Myself? Vicki
Wrong or selfish thinking comes from the idea that I am my thoughts. When we look in direct experience we don’t find a thinker or an individual self. This clear realisation gives us the ability to have thoughts but not act them out (unless they’re practical or creative thoughts). Unhelpful behaviour comes from ignorance....Ignoring our true nature. Ignorance leads to suffering as an incentive to enquire.
@@alanneachell9092 Considering most of the world operates from a place of feeling separate yet many would never think of such things much less carry them out, doesn't really explain it for me. I feel separate from other humans most of the time but thoughts and actions I mentioned are not included in the separate feeling. So there is no chooser of what thoughts that come in yet if one does we have the choice of which thoughts to follow, entertain, or act on ( which in itself is thought) If one thought comes from one thinker then all thoughts must, including bad ones. Differentiating between the idea and the thought makes no sense as they are the same. Where does the "idea" of separation come from? I know the ego mind which is formed by thoughts. I would love to have a personal conversation with Rupert. Thanks for your response. Vicki
In your first post you stated selfish thinking comes from the idea I am my thoughts. An idea is a thought. If its not then "consciousness " created that thought, put it into my awareness and the question is why mine and not someone else's. It can't be both ways. Either we have some amount of control over our individual minds ( thoughts) or we have none and cannot be held responsible for any way we act on them because choosing to act is a thought ( which he says we don't choose) There can only be a split and individual thought arose and therefore we have some control or no split took place and we have none.
@@richardeidemiller6739 I can only go back to my earlier remark and ask " who or what has or doesn't have control"? This we can find out in our own direct experience.
Can I like this video a million times? ❤
Thanks a million for commenting 😁

suman joshi Thoughts arise in awareness, they do not arrive for or to a non existent Individual 😍
suman joshi It's thought that appears as patterns and then claims individuality
Alan Neachell that is what veil of maya or shining or modulation of maya! It is beauty and love!

Thought(s) is nothing more but a cerebral instinct, depending upon the size of the thin integument of its cortex (cortices).
That's correct from the third person perspective but from direct experience, thought is simply a vibration of awareness. 🙏

First there are mountains and rivers, then there are no mountains and rivers, then there are mountains and rivers again.
Yes, illusion remains, ignorance goes.
@@alanneachell9092 - And when I say you do an excellent job with these compilations, you understand what I'm saying. : )
snap thought
Is the modulation that is a particular vibration in infinite consciousness deliberated by infinite consciousness In order to observe the world?
We could say that consciousness is pure creativity and so unavoidably expresses it's nature. This, of course is a concept as we don't have an answer.
Alan Neachell: Thank you for responding.
how about VISUALISING things......... not about choosing two things......... like VISUALISING a trip to hawaii and sipping cocktail there
Same but not as revealing
Alan, can I ask where is the music from?

Who is asking the questions? Do those people choose the questions, which are thoughts?

A lot of commercials
It's not a paid channel but CZcams still put adverts!
Music is annoying ... Rupert is wonderful ...
Nobody chose it, everything just is. 😏
this music is very nice actually. very relaxing.
