A Non-Dual View of the Self and the World

Friday 14 January 2022

Non-Sentient Things and Consciousness

A question is asked about 'a sense of being' or 'love' and how that applies to non-sentient things and a belief in separation, which seems to manifest as constant undoing. Rupert responds by using the example of Mary and Jane and the appearance of objects within a dream. When Mary wakes up and realises that, to the dreamer Jane, those objects appear not to be conscious, but Mary realises that they are made up of consciousness but were not conscious themselves. Rupert suggests we take this analogy to the appearance of the world to understand that from the localised point of view there appears to be things, but they are all made of consciousness.
