What if, instead of the universe containing everything, it is our consciousness that holds all of existence within it? What if consciousness is not a tiny spark within us, but the vast container of all experience, including the universe itself?...

In this discussion, the participant questions how emotions relate to Rupert's teachings on non-duality. Rupert clarifies that emotions—whether positive or negative—are expressions of love.

In today's world, the term 'mindfulness' has become commonplace. It refers to the practice of being consciously present in the moment, free from judgment. While mindfulness is a valuable practice, it is but a stepping stone toward a deeper understanding: the direct recognition of our true nature—awareness itself...

The question of free will and freedom has intrigued philosophers, scientists, and spiritual seekers for centuries. To approach these concepts, we must explore not only the nature of decision-making from a practical, experiential standpoint but also delve into the latest insights from neuroscience and metaphysics. Our goal here is to provide a detailed understanding that blends both personal experience and scientific findings to offer a clearer picture of what we mean by freedom, and whether free will, as commonly understood, truly exists...

What if our entire approach to understanding consciousness is flawed? Instead of seeking to explain consciousness through physical processes, we might consider that physical processes themselves arise within consciousness. This shift in perspective turns the conventional understanding on its head and opens up the possibility that consciousness is not a byproduct of the universe, but its very foundation. The implications of this are profound, suggesting that our attempts to measure, categorize, and dissect consciousness may always fall short, as they fail to address the fundamental nature of what consciousness truly is...

In a conversation about the nature of consciousness, a participant raises a question about the experience of "I am," which seems to have both objective and non-objective qualities. He is confused about how the mind appears to have access to this awareness, even though it shouldn’t, if "I am" is pure consciousness. Rupert explains that the mind itself is not separate from consciousness but rather a limitation of it. He emphasizes that while the mind cannot truly grasp infinite consciousness, it is through consciousness that the mind knows anything at all. The experience of "I am" is not a reflection in the mind but infinite consciousness shining through it...

This article explains how psychedelics actually reduce brain activity rather than increase it, which goes against the idea that intense experiences always require more brain activity. It questions the notion that consciousness is solely produced by the brain, suggesting that psychedelics allow us to experience a broader reality. Could it be that the brain actually exists within consciousness, and not the other way around? It also highlights that meditation can provide similar insights, and that both psychedelics and meditation help us reach a deeper consciousness that is always available but often filtered...
