If Happiness Is Within, Why Do I Seek Pleasure? @rupertspira

If happiness lies in simply being rather than external things like travel and meals, yet we still find ourselves searching for and planning pleasurable activities, does this mean we are not truly established in being? Watch Rupert’s latest video here on YouTube: youtu.be/kD0DMGQH2Kk

If Happiness Is Within, Why Do I Seek Pleasure?

Why Don’t I Remember Pure Awareness After a Deep Meditation?

Is the Soul the Same as Gods Infinite Being?

$The Infinite Is Limitless, Not Vast A woman asks whether the infinite that Rupert speaks of might be understood as a point of all possibilities. Rupert clarifies that the infinite is not vast or point-like but entirely without dimensions, and that any spatial metaphor is a concession to perception. He introduces deep sleep as a direct, universal experience of dimensionless being, free of time and space. From this, he explains how thinking and perceiving refract awareness into time and space, making reality appear limited. Addressing her curiosity about what consciousness might be “doing” beyond human experience, Rupert uses the analogy of a camera to show how the finite mind narrows awareness so that a single thought and perception can appear. What seems excluded is not absent, only outside the mind’s narrow focus. He concludes by affirming that the woman’s sense of being more than the human perspective is not egoic, but an intuition of truth. *This video is from one of Rupert’s in-person retreats at Mercy Center, 9–16 March 2025.
