Love Is An Absence Of Otherness

A man recounts that during the meditation, he can easily drop into being. He tells a story about being a volunteer on a retreat in Hawaii and experiencing a close connection with a cat. He asks, 'What is love? ' Rupert asks, 'Do you have an experience of being?', and guides him in self-enquiry. Being isn't really divided up into separate individuals. The space in this room is the same space as the space in his bedroom. Love is an absence of otherness, just like the space in all rooms is the same space. The friendship with a kitten, the love, was an experience of oneness, of being closer than close.
