‘I Am’ Is a Portal into Eternity

A woman who, during the meditation earlier that day, followed Rupert’s advice to unwind from sensation, perception, and feeling, felt that even the sense of ‘I am’ unwound too. She seeks advice on whether this experience was true. Rupert uses the analogy of Turner’s watercolour painting: Initially, it appears as if the full moon in the painting is an object in the landscape, but when you go up close, you see it is a gap in the painting through which the paper shines through. The sense of ‘I am’ appears to be something that is in the mind; it is not. It is a portal, a gap through which the mind passes out of time and into eternity.
