Falling Asleep Whilst Remaining Awake

Thursday 12 October 2023

‘Are You Aware?’ Brings the Mind to an End

A woman asks about describing the experience of being asleep, which is unlike being aware of being. In his explanation, Rupert elaborates on how there is no mind between the question 'are you aware?' and the answer. It is a powerful question whereby the mind brings itself to a mind. The mind arises to answer 'yes' and speaks on behalf of consciousness.
