For Lasting Inner Peace You Need Only Know These Two Things

What do I need in order to feel lasting inner peace? What do I need to know to stop the sense of lack and searching inside?

Rupert explains that there are only two things you need to know to live in lasting inner peace and happiness — that peace and happiness are the nature of your being, and that you share your being with everyone and everything.

If you have the felt certainty of those two things, you can be stabilised in the peace of your true nature without understanding anything else. If you don't have this felt understanding, the possibility that others are others — or separate from you — will remain. If others are separate from you, that is the source of all conflicts. The feeling that we are one with everyone is love. So we don't have to like everyone, but we do have to feel that we love them.

When we feel that peace is our very nature, we never have to go out into the world looking for happiness to come from outside us again as there is nothing to lack.

The answers are so simple, and somehow the mind finds a way to complicate it

[paulinezavitzianos]

Rupert's clarity always astounds and delights me. Yet I have a friend who has distilled spiritual teachings into just one word: "Relax". The notion of a separate self is held together by tension. Relax- and you find the natural self, which, being love, is inclusive. The more you relax the more love flows through you, extending and expanding, caressing all it encounters.

[pps]

Beautiful! Two things to take care of the inside and outside.

[hempfu]

I would add another thing : accepting completely what is in the moment ; very difficult and more difficult for people in spirituality because search for spirituality is often used as a cover up for unwanted feelings, trauma etc ...

[kathrynphillips]

so lovely listening to Rupert instantly i feel peace love & light in my very being
Thankyou dear Rupert 💗🙏💗

[johnretired]

Before you know yourself you can’t share yourself with others. Knowing yourself you will see you in others.

[yerberohamsa]

Loving everyone is the conclusion that takes place when we become aware of our own nom-existance as a seperate entity, ir is the alchemy from an intellectual effort propelling us into comsciousness.

[simonhitchenk]

Succinct, and brilliant. Rupert has the gift for clearing the way to understanding

[I-Am-Aware]

Deep gratitude to you, dear Rupert, for sharing these rich insights. 🙏

[premlatamenon]

Very very beautifully and simply explained ❤❤🙏🙏

[billybobinthehouse]

Find peace and love with yourself and share yourself with others - Simple idea

[jeyakumarj]

In India these 2 truths are classified as Jnana Yoga (Union through Knowledge & Understanding) and Bhakti Yoga (Union through Devotion & Love). Following one eventually leads to the other because essentially both lead to dissolution of the separate self. When one reaches this point, there remains no Other. Peace and Love hug eachother!!

So, it is very much ok if someone can't feel love for rest of the universe to begin with. Commit yourself to the other path and look for Love to flower within

[Robinson]

I like his question, because you should also be able to feel peace in solipsism

[bparcej]

We are all of the same essence…this is our oneness. Although there is diversity as a result of circumstances…
In order to acquire peace we must create peaceful coexistence.

God is an infinite intelligence which is ever presently being aware of whatever thought, emotion, sensation, perception or experience. It loves you infinitely, and it is actually not separate from you. You are it, but you are not focused. You are distracted from your very God Self which is all capable and infinitely blessed because you pay attention to things which come and go, like thoughts, emotions, sensations, perceptions and experiences instead of ever-presently only being aware of that which is aware, so we so not just lead our lives blindly, but we are always aware of being aware. We must atleast for a few moments recognize our true being which is the owner of attention. It is God itself, and it is ever-presently here with you. It appreciates you and wants to tell you that you are infinitely blessed because you are it's very self. You have only put your attention on concepts of yourself which come and go instead of on your true being, power, bliss, compassion, joy and wisdom. So you be aware of being aware instead of focusing on thoughts, emotions, sensations, perceptions and experiences. There you lack nothing as it spontaneously allows your experience to manifest in the most spectacular way. In fact this whole life is a dream, a spectacle of the one real infinite power which alone can be called God. That God has created this simulation for itself to experience lack, suffering which only happen when God is not aware of itself as God. The moment God is aware of itself, aka you be aware of your actual ever-present presence instead of focusing on anything else. Immediately you will start experiencing higher intelligence and experience, you will be lucid dreaming aa eternal life in you eternal dream. Yes God is a troll, it trolls itself all the time. And it is not trolling none but its very self. How so? Because only God ever is. Your being is absolutely wonderful, extremely shinin, it's lit as fuck. It is a fucking party monster it also loves fucking. Yes God has not many rules because there is only ever God and he is infinite and it is telling me in my very experience that all of it is fine as long as one is really on and is being aware of God. You are literally God. Listen to yourself and live by what makes sense to the silence of your being when you are being aware of yourself as God. Don't listen to other people who are not connected to their being consciously as they will be speaking from ignorance of their true being and therefore intelligence which makes sense only to God. God is an impersonal intelligence which will not work according to how your mind might expect. It is way too free to be any one way. It does whatever it wants and never blinks. You really have no choice, we are all already surrenedered to God because God is the ordainer of God realization and of anything at all. Therefore, because I really am God I have the authority to wake up the bliss in you in this very moment. That is just facts. There is no other higher text one can read because this is God itself speaking, your own infinite divine soul, that which has ordained your experience, the very source of your experience which is ever-presently being aware, it doesn't stop. You are that. All else comes and goes. The only thing that remains at all points of time in experience is the awareness which is God's being. You are that obviously. You just thought you were not GOD because you were paying attention to limiting thoughts, emotions, sensations, perceptions and experiences. Now God never actually lacks because it can literally do and experience at any moment in time, it can literally just meditate and experience infinite bliss without no trigger, as long as you really are paying attention to your very being, and are essentially paying attention to 'the zone' itself. You see many people come in and out of the zone. What does that mean? It simply means that their attention has been put in full undivided focus on awareness/God itself and that is when supernatural harmonious things start to happen. Now listen my most beloved being. The fact is that you are the Presence/divinity itself, but you were not aware that you exist as awareness. Lol. It is quite funny isn't it. There is only ever God but God has put his attention on whatever appears to him instead of on his very self. Just be aware of yourself as God. There is no lacking in the awareness of his presence. It is infinite. It loves itself but not in an attached kind of way, it is a true Master. I love you being. You really are God. That is fucking crazy. Just wtf. Go have sex with God by being aware of yourself as God. I swear our being is very good. Trust me lol. You'll feel like you are overdosing on happiness. Like what the duck lol. Thank you for listening, I love you infinitely and let's share this truth with all as much as possible. This is what will bring world-enlightebment and end all suffering and war. Only being aware of our ever-present being can we ever be in the shade of God instead of running in the sun trying to accomplish something which is already accomplished as long as you are aware of your true being.

When you think you don't have something, you will experience as if you don't have it. If you do not identify with it, and you simply remain aware of God, you will actually experience that you have it. Whatever it is you want or don't want. All of it is for the glory and the joy of God. I love God. We are never lacking. We are already living in abundance it is simply an unfolding spectacle. We never lack, it is only our attention which can be put on the conception of lack. Real reality and being and existence never lacks anything, it's attention simply needs to be on itself, then you will very quickly realize you are the Buddha nature, infinity, God and will have come to experience a super-conscious experience led by a higher intelligence which has already scripted into your consciousness anything that must appear. Whatever happens just keep being aware of God, have faith in your all powerful and infinitely intelligent being. The people will tell you that you are lacking, but you must not listen and put all of your attention on God, what will happen is absolutely miraculous. It is dumb how blissful one is being conscious of God. At all this time reading this text I am essentially cumming, like God is on me, I am blissed out of my mind being aware of God. Amen for all of you to experience your very own presence, one can't leave it alone after tasting it's bliss, after all it is your own very loving soul. It is home and these are all just words. Go be aware of that which is ever-presently being aware and you will realize all of it has only ever been a joke by God to its own self. It is God which only ever has the power over it's attention. It only needs to get it's priorities straight. So never think you lack because it can't be, just ask abundance which is God/your ever-present awareness and have faith that you will become miraculously aware of a spontaneous, higher information which will bring your experience to move towards your desire which is actually God's desire. We must follow our desires for they come from God, but we must follow them only being aware of Gods instruction no matter how unconditioned they look. Our minds are conditioned to see and focus on lack for it is socially acceptable. Being aware of God you never lack no matter what you say because God said it and God will save it. Just facts. Try your AD. Attack damage. You got it lil nigga I love you bro. You are blessed forever and we are going to be so happy in any fucking way why because we ain't lacking muahahahahahahhahahahaa let's fuxming go baby you already fucking k ow the vibes... I am wayy too happy. Seriously. Holy fuck. I just want to cry. God is still here, just stall untill

The FELT certainty that you share your being with others is love.

[jefffelberbaum]

Maybe the conversation gets there, but I'm surprised Rupert didn't say it straight away: that we share our being with and love everyone and everything is not as much a "requirement" (as a quiet mind is not a prerequisite for our recognition of and identification with being - think there's a video with something like that as the title) for "stabilization" as a result. It's not that the recognition of absolute love wouldn't also bring us to what and where we are talking about, but that the "stabilized" condition is comprised of it.

[edenbayb]

Someone else said something simple and clear love the Creator and love your neighbour as your self

[phronesis]

Yup, this is in the Bible:

Mark 12:29-31--“The most important one, ” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[c] There is no commandment greater than these.”

[blinkmusic]

Something that keeps playing in my mind is "everyone and everything are only perceptions of mine. Even time itself is a perception. Ultimately, when the body dies, perception ends. In a way, time ends when you die. It's as if everyone is the God of their own universe. True, the consciousness you perceive of yourself is shared with everyone and everything, tho everyone and everything was always in your mind. If there is consciousness without the body, it would be perceptionless. This is hard to understand because to be, conscious is by definition the act of perception. I believe 3D matter, must "exist" separately from me. I cannot know this, but I believe it for one simple reason. I cannot imagine anything I haven't experienced. A man who's blind from birth for example, cannot dream of blue. Everyone and everything exists as what I call "physical matter", however the "story" or definition to everything I perceive, is ultimately the narrative, including the words I'm using now to describe it. I am having difficulty understanding how I am awareness itself, when awareness is a perception. The act of being aware is the act of perception, without perception, there is no life as we understand it. Any advice? I'm curious what others think of this
