The Key to Understanding the Meaning of Life

In this guided meditation, Rupert shows us, that to access the meaning of life and realise our deepest desires, we only need the slightest change in perspective.

He says to be aware of the full spectrum of your experience — thoughts, images, feelings, sensations and perceptions — and then be aware of simply being. What is the difference between being aware of the content of experience, and being aware of simply being? But don't think about the difference — experience the difference.

The difference could be likened to the distinction between watching a movie and seeing the screen — almost no difference at all. It requires the slightest, subtlest shift of attention but in that subtle shift lies the whole meaning of life. It's like a key that gives us access to that for which we long above all else.

Thank you Rupert. Your voice is so beautiful and soothing.🙏🏽 The realization that my sense of being or “l” and knowing all perceptions, sensations, emotions are the same thing. Then recently those apparently different things (perceptions, sensations, emotions) have all collapsed into one space and it’s very clear that when my mind isn’t labeling anything, that everything is simply knowing. When I stay with it, the sense of separation evaporates. There is a child like bubbling joy that comes and a deep, deep sigh of relief… a rooted ness in peace as peace. Your teachings over the past 2 years have brought me home and I am eternally grateful.🦋❤️

[bilimoriafirdaus]

Whenever I realize THIS, my terrible chronic existential headache goes away. ❤

[AuntyHoney]

Thank you Rupert for this clarity of Being. The subtle shift is the key.
🙏💜🙏

[ultracalicokittycat]

Rupert often says that being aware of being aware is not a special experience...well it was a pretty special experience that caused Eckhart to sit on a park bench for months and months

[Your-True-Self]

Beautiful, thank you Rupert. The timelessness of our being is what we more readily connect to in such moments.

[jackroberts]

This is wonderful. It is nice to be able to turn off the movie and relax in peace.

[SavinderKaur-em]

Jesus is the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through him.

[bille]

But isn't the recognizing of the screen, the awareness of being, yet another experience, albeit self-awareness. The self is aware of itself. Space being aware of itself. And that's all there really is.
