Are Psychological Problems Obstacles to Recognition?

A former psychotherapist asks about psychological issues and non-duality and whether they can be obstacles to recognition. Rupert responds that the identification of ourself – John Smith – with the content of experience – King Lear –creates the sense of a separate self, and all psychological issues revolve around that separate self. However, they do not impede self-recognition because awareness shines in the midst of all experience regardless of circumstance. It can be an obstacle to its expression, but not its recognition.
