I have often said that I enjoy "boredom", now I realise that I am being at one with awareness, It was never boredom i.e. not doing a practical activity.

[raindropcleaners]

When a thought arises, see that it's experienced in the same space where you experience sight, sounds, smells, feelings, etc... Go back and forth between the thought and sight or sound to confirm this and instantly the thought collapses.

Consciousness is the knowing element in every experience

I'm glad something special doesn't happen. One of the biggest fears of liberation for me was a sudden, huge alteration in how I see the world. I don't want some big event, I just want clarity. I have seen the veil of the separate self drop from watching one of your self enquiry videos saying to 'look for who is upset/angry/needing'. I saw it as emptiness and it was like a filter in the middle of my head just dropped and I could see what was in front of me instead of not seeing life, and just watching my cluster of thoughts and emotions in a daydream. It didn't last long but I understood what it was, and it's made me a lot less fearful of accepting the experience when I feel that surge of fear that occasionally happens during mediation.

He is right - Satisfied. It a relief.
Thank you

The experience of knowing that someone or something is aware of your awareness is both terrifying and beautiful. It is a life changing experience

This is an absolute delight. I had the pleasure of reading something similar, and it was an absolute delight. "Mindful Mastery: Living Intentionally in a Chaotic World" by Kyle Ash

At the center of the field of awareness is the source of creation. We are that to an unknowable/ inexhaustible extent. Awareness is our way of knowing the source in its inherent mysteriousness.

[donharrold]

Incredible discussion. Many Blessings.

[tonynes]

True. Focusing on our awareness will diminish the effect of good and bad experiences that happen in our lives that affect us emotional in negative and positive ways.

Seven years ago, I had two very radical experiences of zooming out from the personal self. I had always wondered what these experiences were in relation to full-blown enlightenment and had always been trying to replicate them. Then I started to hear "enlightenment is not an experience" which always confused me, given that my experiences were definitely experiences. But this really opens my eyes to part of what this means. I was just like he describes with too much focus on the world turning out a particular way. So, I felt this strong sense of relief and joy during the experience that I expect to happen again once I reach enlightenment. But this colors my experiences and taints my perception. This will help me to let go of more. Thank you Rupert. (:

[avneetmanchanda]

Such a blessing you are :) I am so so grateful to you for sharing your teachings.

[sreeprakashneelakantan]

Thanks Rupert! The movie is so enchanting, so addictive, so enslaving, we the screen "feels" helplessly/happily trapped and over powered.

"some people have to sit in park benches for 2 years to realise this" is a reference to Eckhart tolle 😄

[honestyfenix]

Perhaps it would help to say that You are not your thoughts. You are the one that can witness your thoughts, watch them, feel your butt on the chair, become aware of your own breathing... You are The One that CAN SEE and experience all this.

“When I see the immense order of the universe (and especially the brain of man), I cannot escape feeling that this ground enfolds a supreme intelligence....I would say also that this intelligence is permeated with compassion and love.” ~ David Bohm

[freddystaelens]

As in contrast with being in persuit of something, or being contracted by external events, it was more the search for what made me so happy that made the bliss feel at home.

[kathrynphillips]

i think we naturally fluctuate between levels of pure knowingness and the experience of the seperate self and its our lifes learning to realize and be able to understand and live happily within both.

[raindropcleaners]

Once I figured it out, it's so amazingly simple and close. It's so comfortable and effortless.

Absolutely loved this video. Thank you so much for this valuable information Rupert. Lots of love from an Australian 🇦🇺❤
