Being Outshines Appearances
Monday 09 October 2023
A woman, who is a hospice doctor, wishes to articulate her near-death experience to her patients. She describes similar experiences during meditation, and the emptiness of self. Rupert responds that there is awareness of that nothingness, and can speak of it, so it cannot be nothing. Awareness is not a thing, but it is not nothing. It's not that there is no self, but the self of infinite being is the only self there is. He relates the metaphor of John Smith and King Lear to the question of self and no self and practice.
