DON’T JUDGE WHAT YOU SEE, says Rupert, JUST SEE !!
Well-meaning people are forever complaining that they see w-a-a-ay too much of their selves and that a goodly part of what they see fails to meet with their own approval! It would be sad if it weren’t so darned funny!
And yes we’re talking, not about a spare tire around the belly, but rather a spare tire around the brain. They want to trim down the excess flab, but alas the titillating mind-pictures are loathe to give up the ghost!
That’s all your unwanted thoughts are: ghosts. You can liken them to images dancing across your television screen, as Rupert Spira does when he counsels his inquirers:
“The fact that you see this tsunami of “me-ness” means that you are already, at least to a large extent, free of it. Likewise, the fact that you say “I see myself judging….” means that you’re already standing as the one who sees rather than the one who judges. It is important that the one that sees the judging doesn’t start judging what it sees, otherwise it ceases being a seer and becomes a judger. So see this tsunami of ‘me-ness’ like you see a tsunami on the TV – with interest but uninvolved.”

Tsunami of “Me-ness”

Now, holding your remote control in your hand with your index finger at the ready, click “OFF” (mentally will be just fine!). You see? There was no discussion, no evaluation, no agonizing, just “click” and all the chatter, all the images, all the fussing: gone, gone and gone!
Were you a nice person, a not-nice person, a winner, a loser, or any of the multifarious other labels you’re so ready to slap on yourself? No! None of these. You are and forever have been infinite consciousness. Turn off the tv screen in your mind and you’ll be instantaneously aware of it!

A word substitution lends itself greatly to healing in the below quote of Rupert Spira, [brackets, mine]:
“If separation [disease, lack, any problem] were real, we would have to get rid of it. However, separation [disease, lack, any problem] is an illusion.
“Attempting to get rid of an illusion only asserts its apparent reality, thereby strengthening it.”
The bottom line is that all materiality – its ups and downs, sickness, disease, death are unreal in Spirit, therefore unreal. Apply this truth to any ailment – fully and completely – and watch said ailment dissipate (an intransitive verb meaning of its own accord).
Then elsewhere Rupert Spira advises us “At a certain stage, our former interpretation of God or reality changes…as our knowledge is expanded…so that the model or prevailing paradigm can no longer accomodate our expanding knowledge.”
We would do well to keep our language very, very flexible in order that it might accommodate our never ending awakening!

If we start with the assumption of a universe and try to fit consciousness into that model, we end up with the classic panpsychist statement that all things have a degree of consciousness or, more simply, that the universe is conscious. However, from the perspective of consciousness there is no all’. From consciousness’s perspective there is just its own seamless, indivisible, unified, infinite whole.
The belief that the universe is conscious is New Age non-duality, and it is this confusion that leads so many people who would otherwise be open to the consciousness-only model to reject it. The belief that the universe is aware is simply an extension of the materialist belief that the body is aware. Fleas are not aware; fish are not aware; dogs are not aware; trees and rocks are not aware; human beings are not aware; the universe is not aware. Only awareness is aware! Only consciousness is conscious.
The word ‘universe’, from the Latin uni-, one’, and versus, ‘turned’, means ‘combined into one; whole’. What is it in our experience of the so-called universe that is whole, one, undivided? Only consciousness! Everything else we know about the universe comprises a multiplicity and diversity of objects. The only element of experience that is one, undivided and whole is consciousness itself, or self-aware being. The universe is not conscious; consciousness is the universe!
In fact, the more scientists look for a universe, the less they find it. The more they look for matter, the less like matter it seems to be. Why? Because they are looking for it in objective experience. Sooner or later science will realise that consciousness is the reality for which they are seeking in objective knowledge and experience.
