4:20 “Become interested in the experience of being aware rather than in the experience of being depressed “
What does this even mean?
@@davidwhitcher1972 just as it says. fix your attention on the nature of that which knows your experience. go into it, do you have to try real hard to be aware of your experience or is your experience effortlessly known. knowingly be the awareness that is effortlessly aware.
@@davidwhitcher1972 it means u are not your thoughts, u are whats lookin at your thoughts, the space within beyond thought xx
Wish I saw this video a few years back when I was in the middle of a deep depression. What a powerful talk this is. Then again, chances are I might've misunderstood or just ignored it completely.
Just imagine if more psychiatrists and doctors were to prescribe this rather than a drug...As is realized, here we are in the 21st century and they still haven't found this thing called 'a mind nor matter'...So much is overlooked in our daily lives....THANKS FOR POSTING !!!
but then you aren't the mind unless you mean you are neither the mind or the body.
""what is the knowing with which I know my experience?
what's more interesting than that?
fall in love with that!"
pure gold!
Yeah I loved that too. So amazingly spot on!
Are you Aware?
Rupert Spira speaks with such clarity on turning the mind back to the spacious awareness observing the depression and contractions. This video takes one through the process of becoming aware of this awareness so clearly. Thank you
That’s what’s missing even in my spiritual journey, I see after this message. Instead of being focused on how can I be present 24x7 and why was I not present in this situation and that situation, I just need to be ‘more interested’ in being present now. Thanks Rupert!
Omar Preet Singh Bali dont try to "be more present" start by looking for beauty...in time looking at ugliness becomes easier...as it is all the same and it is all part of you.
Exactly
Very well said, I can totally relate. It turns out to be so simple haha!
Omar are you Aware?
Everyone has their own path and own way of noticing what's already there
I recommend this talk. It’s so powerful.
Awesome ... bit by bit ... the fog is lifting ... and the stars are shining.
Just keep going, I'm with you
I feel like there is something in the way he speaks or in his voice which has more powerful impact on the understanding he provides than just the meaning of his words.
It's beyond intellect.
Her: 'I don't know how I know"
Rupert: "But you DO know"
no misguide.
"you are that awareness."
"it doesn't feel that way."
"are you aware now?"
"yes."
"how do you know?"
"I don't know how I know."
"but you do know (that you are aware)."
“The feeling of depression is your truth at the moment” wow 🙌
EXCELLENT.!! I AM aware of AWARENESS, INTERESTED IN Awareness, I AM in Love with Awareness, Awareness IS always HERE for me!!! Awareness is The TRUTH of I AM..!!!!!!!!!!! 😘
And... whatever happens, there will always be the I AM!
That is so beautiful! :-)
Esoteric Wind you can test it. If you imagine something and it happens then you are awareness. If it doesn't manifest then you are not awareness. Look up Neville Goddard on CZcams. Most people don't have a clue what they are talking about.
That journey with no distance to yourself.
Enthuistic crazies...
@@ashleytaylor994 If one is aware he is awareness.
If you imagine anything you are AWARE of it, your awareness is pointed at the very thing you manifest so it actually became ''real'' as you witnessed it, even if it was just your imagination.
I can imagine growing a pair of wings at my legs and growing 4 more hands and 20 fingers, 4 more eyes that each one has different color and one of them has 2 irises.
Will that actually happen in ''reality''?
If it doesn't, am I not really aware?
Who is to tell that I am not aware?
The awareness tells the awareness that its not aware? Or is it the mind?
Countless thanks to Rupert for this ingenious approach 🙏🙏🙏
This man is amazing
I was absolutely discussed at a nonduality speaker when on his zoom meeting, had a call from a woman who's house was condemned and falling apart. She was in tears and could hardly speak over the microphone as she describes what had happened. He just said to her "Well that's what's appearing to happen then, that's all". She wanted to find some comfort and told him she was feeling utterly devastated. He replied by saying "There's nobody there to be devastated, you're not a person, only a person would feel devastated. Your feelings are only what's appearing to happen but for no one, because no one is there... it's just energy, an appearance from nothing because in reality nothing has happened". She sobbed and told him that she was left without a home to live. Coldly and without showing any emotion he said " Well that's what's appearing to happen then... Nothing else can be said about that.. it just IS".
I was furious and left nonduality for a while before finding the teachings of Rupert. He's one of the few, genuine nonduality teachers we have in modern times.
Rupert, you are simply sublime in every way.
lady: "there are something right but still some thoughts argue…"
Rupert: "are you aware of that thoughts?"
lady: "yes"
Rupert: "tell me the nature of that awareness."
lady: "pure spaciousness...?"
Rupert: "give that your attention, rather than your arguing thoughts."
so much clarity! so much appreciation! 🌹🌼🙏
So beautifully said. You go where your energy goes. Steer your energy away from the depression and find the joy within. Joy is waiting for you to discover by pushing everything else away.
Resistance is ego's fertile ground.
I am so glad I listened to this again: Came upon it quite coincidentally after watching another good post and, I heard it loud and clear at the end of this video: Both Substance and Source, actually, Source and Substance. The difference is that tonight I actually had a very subtle "Yes," inside.
amazing! really the best video, to fall in love with your awareness rather than with your concerns about depression. Thank you Rupert!
This talk solves about every doubt ever. 10/10 gold content. Thank you!
5:31 “Who else does awareness belong to if it doesn’t belong to awareness” ♥️
Absolute gold..so much value in this timeless message. Thank you dear Rupert
I understand now..no need to get rid of thoughts..we have been so conditioned to think about our problems 😂
But thankfully now we know that we only need to think about the I that is aware of those problems and the problems will leave for lack of attention oh my
Dear Rupert, I could hug you for this talk! Thank you! :)
A teaching to be lived. Communicated with utmost clarity and precision. Wonderful. Thank you Rupert.
exactly described!
I would love to see Rupert Spira and Eckhart Tolle talking together!
Bravo, fall in love with your awareness, awareness lovingly aware of awareness❤
Thank you Rupert you have helped me so very much to understand and you
have given me the ability to begin to change and find the way to happiness.
I will always be grateful for the teaching that you have made available.
Depression will die as a result of neglect. Genius
t
Depression is only "alive", in the "separate self", in this clean energy that we are there´s no place for it. "I"......have been there, No more, although these days now, "I" really thank that depression, it was through it that the light came in. A living proof. We are that strong undercurrent, that pure energy that is aware. We are all beautiful, we are a gem, we just need some polishing. Peace and love fellow brothers and sisters.
@@serafimsousa5383 Thank you!
Peace and love to you too!!!
Rupert, you are the teacher that shows us how to bring forth the awareness within all of us. To shine the light on the darkness. The love and peace you spread is so touching ❤.
Thank you so much!
Such clarity in talk .my God Never I had this.thx
Bravo Rupert,thank you so much..It wouldn't been enaugh without your teachings.
I was trying to get rid of sensations and things, but now I see Rupert's words
Like when you fall in Love, you are different...
Dont wait to work on yourself, because you will waste your life
Live now....
So much gold in this simplicity..! Responding to the comment below concerning the receptivity of the hearers..many minds will probably reject the teaching because of the belief that the simplicity is not believable..however, others will likely find that their search has ended with this gold which they have suddenly and directly found..!
It is the real "gold"and it is is "simple", but it took "me" sometime. Peace and love brother, clean and pure energy in the "now".
i love her honest answers my god it is powerful path she was taking to fully realize she is awareness my god i am so ready for this conversation! 3 years ago i got frustrated from hearing this i understood nothing i shouted at them but something inside me really was interested so i went through hell of rude awakening till i finally got where i started and now i can hear every single word and wish from my heart everyone will get it at the first time instead of going through a lot of teaching to get there. but i guess all depends on the level of how ready one is so i enjoyed my road at them end!
Thank you Mr. Spira. Something just clicked in 'me' after listening attentively to this talk . Till now thoughts were stealing the show. It never gave a gap to be attentive to the awareness which is ever present . Many things make total sense to 'me' now. Now it really makes total sense what Ramana Maharshi said about images on a movie screen. Images can change moment to moment but screen remains the same. Having said that, 'I' am more aware of thought in human existence as a brilliant tool which needs to be put in good use as J. Krishnamurti puts it. Order, both internal and external. Nature given human intelligence is in chaos and 'I' see with better clarity why our world is in such a mess. There needs a radical revolution of human mind to make any sort of change. Goodness me. Phew! It is quite simple really. This awareness you are talking about has been always there.There is absolutely no sense in wasting energy on thoughts.
Hi ur CMT really resonates to me
Would u please elaborate lil bit
Awareness is always here so we don't have to seek but while being aware of that there is unchanging looking happening is that right ?
@@kushallamichhane8374 Words are deceptive for me when there is a trying. I really would not know how to put certain things in words then it comes from my conditioned mind. That would be wrong information. Mr. Spira would be better at it, To me (?) there is something in all of us which is from the same source and the same thing. We are different in form and life experiences like all these good people say. How do I know? It just makes sense to me that way. Thats all.
@@whyaskwhy2238 ok then there is nothing to worry about the click may happen anytime
I think Rupert Spira is correct and articulates the human experience of reality in an excellently contemporary manner.
I just absolutely adore everything about Rupert 🙏
When the lady said "it sounds crazy but it seems like they aren't my thoughts" i feel that too sometimes, its as if someone is giving me thoughts in an attempt to manipulate how i feel, always negative thoughts though never positive ones.
It's Subconscious Mind talking to us. Below our awareness level. It throws thoughts at us
"See" those thoughts as "misery radio", you can listen, but don't believe them, only believe in your awareness of them, don't identify them as "yours", they are "malware" of the past. You are that strong undercurrent that is aware, pure and clean energy, light that can illuminate the "dark". Peace and love brother.
So true.
The fact that you intuitively realize those “negative thoughts” ARE NOT YOUR OWN is the first step toward enlightenment. Keep going friend, I’m with you.
The danger in awakening is, seeing these findings in oneself and letting your deeply programmed fear take over, by interpreting all kinds of conspiracies. Thats the process of awakening. Finding a degree between progress and it not going too fast so you lose your sense of eternity? I guess
This is wonderful, thank you.
Thank you, Sir...
Rupert? I have just met you but I love you! ❤️ I’ve been on this journey of fully awakening and your perspective just shined a bright light through the window of my mind that made the awakening so much more vivid and pleasant. 💙💙💙💙
OMG Spechless. Rupert Spira I have chose you as my Spiritual Doctor!!!! Thank you Universe, thank you Rupert, for ever and ever grateful!!
Well done again Rupert.....very helpful. Thank you.
This would be the most imortant think to know.you were always yourself.you are always every moment aware.but we were not intrested for that and that is the key.Hope many of you discovere this simplies truth.sorry for maybe few gramatic mistakes.
Rupert is amazing!
Thanks Rupert.
So beautifully put. Thank you Rupert
Thank you so much rupert! the awareness is not contracted it knows contraction but its seems like its indescribable and its kinda free!
Truly remarkable. 💖
I love every word this man speaks this guy is something else🙏 thank you Rupert
All there is, is This:
the anxiety and my awareness of it.
What is primary?
the anxiety or the awareness?
Know yourself as That
and let the anxiety run its course !!!
Wow! Once again so plain, so powerful! Thank you!
My spiritual journey leads me here. Thank you for letting me understand I. Much love and respect from the Philippines ❤️
..become interested in being Aware 😊 so brilliant! Thank you again Rupert Great Blessings to you and ALL
The aura is extremely visible around his body
Thank you for such a helpful pointing.
that's brilliant and very useful. it can be used as practice all day long, as a permanent meditation, to be interested more in that, with which experiences are known, and in which they appear, than the experiences themselves. by doing that a kind of energetic dilution can happen where I am more the awareness that I am anyway, and I identify less with my experiences. It's a beautiful dissociation which has the potential also to take me back to love without needing an outside object, experience or person to trigger it.
Wow…this teaching hit home for me. Awareness is more interesting than those powerful feelings🎉
This is apsoultely helpfull .. Thanks Rupert .
when you have thoughts , just be aware of the thoughts ,automatically it will disappear,thank you, than you are the creator, pure being,
Lovely!!!
Muchísimas gracias!!! De gran ayuda
This is great!
Beautiful! 💛
Thank you
Thankyou sir. I finally got it. Thanks a lot. 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you! 🙏❤️🕉️
Thank you 💜🙏
Thank you--I got so much from this talk!
This is brilliant
Just great to hear you, Rupert.Thank you.
So good! So helpful!
Man you are genius🙏👏
Absolutely loved this video. Thank you so much for this valuable information mate. Lots of love from an Australian 🇦🇺❤
Great the best way to lead you to the source that is awareness great direct from the source
Not for the first time, I have the idea that when people are talking about depression they, in fact, mean being down, sad, etc. and not the mental illness called depression. The problem is that depression is then often brushed off as something that can easily be overcome (implicitly taking the patient not seriously) which can also be seen on YT where there are countless movies about 'curing depression DIY'.
While I can understand the theoretical side of this advice, I am wondering if the same advice would have been given if it was about cancer. Just ignore your cancer and it will die of neglect. Maybe, maybe not, but undoubtedly a pretty dangerous, and it would be, over here, even illegal advice. My point here is don't neglect medical care and take depression more serious as a mental illness.
Freaking excellent 🎉
Thanks Rupert. If I may share a mantra that came to me here goes : om abasroti (all beings are subjectively real on the inside) om abasuis (all beings are subjectively unique in space) om abastos (all beings are subject to suffering) om abafotom (all beings are functions of their own memory) om abaw (all beings are witnesses) om abasalis (all beings are subjectively alone in space) om ababla (all beings are blameless) om adha( all beings desire happiness) om mandala om (all beings are part of the one great mandala)
Awareness is healing,every experience is an exchange.
Thanks
Sir, for the first time i realise in todays contemplation session that mind likes thinking, it does not want to stay in the state of pure being. I guess its the mind who wants to know the so called truth.for few seconds in being aware state, the so called I realised it is the mind who wants all the spice. There is absolutely no issue in state of being.
Wow it finally clicked with this video. All your thoughts, feelings, and emotions are illusions because the only thing in reality is awareness!
Why can't the mind itself (or one part of it) be aware that it is depressed? Why do you need a separate Awareness to report that the mind is depressed?
@@SuperstarSridhar There is no separate awareness, it is one awareness, it is empty yet cognizant of happenings. What you are calling mind is nothing but mental objects arising and passing away on its own in the space of awareness, automatic happenings without a doer or observer.
If Wittgenstein is right perhaps its language that needs an overhaul - I'm not sure how but if we raised children in a world where they never heard or learned 'I' but instead remapped that to 'awareness' that should help no? "Awareness feels the cold", "Awareness senses anger", "Awareness senses desire", "Awareness senses fear'" - part of the problem is that "I" behaves like velcro - anything that follows just sticks to the person and deludes us into identity with thoughts and feelings.
Great man
Rupert: are u aware now? It’s a yes or no question
Lady:yes
Rupert: how do u know?
Mind blown
I get as far as I know I am aware. Simple and self evident. But I don’t know how that changes or transforms anything. All of my problems and worries are still present even if I’m aware of them.
nailed it!
Profound.
Of course!
Yes depression has a side related to fear and lack of awareness, but also depression like most pathologies could very much has an organic origins to it, a disturbance in the vital force, And treatment is called for, here Homeopathy can do miracles, please consider that, investigate that, and educate yourself about that to be able to balance the message, and help when awareness ain't enough to cure a pathological disturbance in body , mind, or emotions .
🙏
be aware that you are aware
Wow ❤️
To fall in love with Awareness!
I think of the body as an empty shell and we are all full of I am-ness like a fish in water asking "where is the water"? Knowing is in us and outside us and in everything and outside everything.
Wow wow wow...
Wow
