A Rebellion in the Separate Self

A man expresses gratitude for the retreat and shares his struggle with staying present, attributing it to resistance or fear of surrender. He mentions finding temporary relief through food but seeks advice on fully engaging with his intense thoughts and feelings without resorting to immediate relief. Rupert explains that abiding in being deprives the separate self of its sustenance, leading it to perceive a kind of death, as the impulse to seek and resist diminishes. Emphasising the ‘I am’ amidst the activities of seeking and resisting triggers a rebellion in the separate self, prompting it to resist its own demise.
