The Silence Inside the Silence

A woman enquires about ‘the breath inside the breath’ experienced in meditation and relates it to Rupert’s expression ‘the silence inside the silence’. Rupert confirms this isn’t mere poetry but points to consciousness itself – the silent presence behind both sound and its absence. He relates this to the Sufi concept of ‘the extinction of existence and the extinction of that extinction’, explaining these expressions point to that which is prior to and the reality of both experience and its absence.
