A Role to Play in the Recognition of Our True Nature

Rupert makes it clear that, on the relative level, an individual plays a part in self-realisation but this does not mean a separate self is being reinforced.

This clip has been taken from Rupert's Weekend Retreat in Amsterdam, in Spring 2017. To watch the full video, please visit the link below.

To not get lost in the *_spiritual seeker_* role is a serious challenge, and I guess it's a part of becoming a *_spiritual greeter._* Meanwhile, it's a good practice to Love the one that believes its roles and struggles in them. Thank you, Rupert. Love to all.

Ok, yes, not recognizing one's true nature is the primary source of suffering – but excessive or prolonged seeking for your true nature can also be a source of suffering, particularly when years and years go by and nothing has changed. Am I on the right path? Did I read the right book? Have I found the right guru? Did I watch the right video? Have I meditated enough? Do I need an Ayahuasca retreat? I have concluded that seeking only takes you so far. Seeking only takes you to the doorway, then something else is needed to cross the threshold. Is that something Grace? Pre-destination? Karma? Luck? Whatever it is, is not really important, because we have no control over it. Instead, when you've arrived at that doorway, i.e., you have a clear, convincing and contentful understanding of this non-dual, Advaitic teaching, the seeking should end and be replaced with remembrance - constant self-reminding that your true nature is not the thoughts, emotions and perceptions that commandeer your daily life, but that which experiences them, that which is aware of them, that which remains constant and unchanging, while the thoughts, emotions and perceptions come and go. The most important self-reminder: No matter what happens in this life, all is well.

Exactly! Very well explained! The body in itself is already limiting the way it is, I cannot imagine how painful it can be to identify in anything else other than our true nature.

Florian has a role to play on the path towards his own dissolution. Or, we can say, towards the recognition of his own not existent state.... Not separate from...
Thank you beloved. 🦋🥰😁

I have the greatest respect for the clear logic used by Rupert, that in so many ways exceeds mine. Buy I cant actually I see, that enlightment (in any reasonble use of the word), can be reached by logic alone. Enlightment happens, when Our True Source lights up the lower souls. It can only happen by Gods grace and the word enlightment has to be taken very litteral. The third eye and other lesser known chakraes are involved, and the soul and the body gets filled with light. It looks like a very vibrant light and filled with colours, more beautiful, than anything I have ever seen in the outside world. Can this be achieved by logical reasoning alone? No, not without intervention from The Source. But this is one of the controversies between Advaita Vedanta and Kashmir Shaivism.

Besides that: The lower soul, identified with the person or not, is not already "that". The crucifixion is a store about about the lower being transformed by the higher (symbolised by the hexagram). It's a painful and confusing proces and can take many years. Enlightment can only happen by intervention from the Source. We are all from God, but we are most certainly not Gods. I know this from my own personal experince, and very hurtful mistakes. When God actually intervenes the lower soul has to be very clear about these things.

Great insight Rupert. We remove all the voices all the labels narratives to know we are only existence not the narrative. That Zero space where it all ends and begins. As you spoke previously The Here in now is the All. Being that All is Reachable in the Mind, yet also nothing is but a matter of the Mind. As is each moment of our being also a Matter of the Mind of The Greater Light. Whatever’s on your mind is what you’ll find. Your work is great Rupert thank you.

These words have concisely pierced through the nondual veneer that I've placed in myself. Words have no meaning. Please, whenever you see this comment, reply. No matter what it is, this comment exists to remind me to re-watch this video as many times as it takes. I am sick of toying with my true nature, with perverting such humble truth. Of saying "I Am" as if the words are even a shadow of the wisdom that has been so gracefully shared with me.

Love.

When Florians shadow appears as flowers on the wall of the cave where is the source of light?

I am, I see, I love... no object to be found...

Denial of separate self validates its perceived existence as an entity., ..

Who is the ‘I’ that needs to first recognize? Where would it get it’s energy from to have this recognition?

[rathodnarendra]

Whatever you drink, eat and breathe it simply becomes your bodymind so Whatever knowingness use to know it's simply called knowingness
Everyone thinks that they wackup in the morning but bodymind only wackup when knowingness wackup and use it
When knowingness wackup it simply use bodymind functions for her range of knowing

God says the true nature of man is ; “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked “ that’s the true nature of man....🙏

All you need is JESUS CHRIST, this guy's philosophy won't get you to heaven. Listen to wonderful evangelists like Dr John Ankerberg and Dr. David Reagan and their guests!
