On the Attributes of Awareness

A woman shares that Rupert’s statement that the only attribute of awareness is ‘I am’, has kept her awake at night. She wonders how love, joy and happiness fit into this. Rupert replies that ‘I am’ is not an attribute but awareness’s direct knowing of its own being – the simplest and most fundamental recognition of itself. In the pure experience of being – before any thoughts or emotions are added – there is no agitation, sorrow or suffering, only peace. The absence of sorrow is what we call ‘happiness’, and the absence of division or otherness is what we call ‘love’. For that reason, peace, love and happiness are the nature of pure being.
