Beyond the Confines of Past and Future

This meditation invites us to explore the essence of our being. Our true nature is the awareness of being, devoid of external experiences or identities. Rupert draws parallels between awareness and the moon in a Turner painting, highlighting that our being is not bound by time or space but is eternal and infinite. He emphasises the importance of recognising our essential being in the midst of life's experiences and not losing ourselves in the temporary qualities or limitations. It encourages us to go beyond the confines of past and future, as our true self exists in the present moment. This meditation suggests that we can perceive our true nature by imagining ourselves as newborns, devoid of past experiences or concepts. Ultimately, our core being is infinite, unchanging, always present, whether in life or death. Remain in touch with this essential awareness amid the fluctuations of daily existence.
