Rupert Spira on perception and dimensions

[Starbuck]

Something clicked very strongly for me when I heard this new clip of Rupert discussing perceptions and dimensions.
Even if idealism is bullshit, even just temporarily and voluntarily entertaining that view brings great joy and wonder.

Mine too, are there any other non duality teachers you particularly like?

"What we see as the universe is a reification and objectification of the limitations of our own mind".

It is therefore both entirely subjective and yet mediated by something 'out there'. Thousands of years of philosophical speculation resolved in one sentence.

Yes, Adyashanti
Adyashanti - What Is Enlightenment?
Adyashanti - The Experience of No Self

Bernardo and Rupert have met and conversed in person, once over some beers in Amsterdam, and have read each other's ideas in book-form, and that is clearly evident in their respective renditions in positing that what we perceive as objectified 'matter' is how the activity (excitations) of irreducible transpersonal Consciousness ~ which under idealism can only be mentation ~ is experienced whereby Consciousness dissociates into a subject><object, as well as inter-subjective dynamic, for the sake of this relational experience. In actuality, ideation and percept are inextricable, not-two, however much they've become rendered as the maya of intrinsic vs extrinsic, now so deeply reinforced by materialism.

He's great, I saw him in London a couple of years back. He was standing outside the venue smiling at people just before the event, no limo through the rock star entrance etc. He doesn't talk much metaphysics, just huge integrity and humility.

Well put. It all clicked for me when I stopped thinking of it as a matrix like code 'out there' that is then translated it into an analogous experience 'in here'. It's all mind.
