There Are No Thoughts, No Things
Wednesday 11 October 2023
A woman speaks of her anger at God for being joyful in the presence of so much suffering. Rupert responds that she may end up becoming angry at him, because his answer is, 'God doesn't know about our suffering.' Suffering is only such from the limited perspective of a finite mind. He uses the metaphor of Mary and Jane, explaning that Jane sees suffering but Mary only sees it through the limited perspective of Jane, the dream character. As she is finite, she will always suffer until she wakes up and realises she's Mary.
