Live Happily with Your Imperfections

A woman asks if Rupert has any advice for a sixty-year-old who has not learned to be gentle to herself, even though she is gentle to others; who is not feeling connected to others, not feeling adequate, and has no clear rationale for these feelings, which leads to self-sabotage. Rupert encourages her that all her doubts, fears and judgements arise from ‘the belief and feeling that you are this bundle of qualities, which you then judge as inadequate, etc. You believe, “I am these qualities”.’ He asks her to consider how it would affect her sense of self if she traced her way back to the fact of being that is already free of these qualities she dislikes. ‘How would it be to know yourself as that all the time; to lose your judgement of yourself and other people, and learn to live happily with your imperfections?’
