One Seamless, Intimate, Indivisible Substance
In today’s audio, Rupert led us through a series of contemplations involving hearing, seeing and thinking. Through these exercises we came to realize the unreality of the mind-identified world and that reality emanates from awareness alone. Everything we experience is simply a modulation of pure knowing.
In our group discussion we followed this path, noting that the crux of the problem is simply the identification we have with our separate selves, our sense of “me”. We can put on our egos to function in the world, just as we put clothes on to move around—but we are not the clothes and we are not the ego. We are pure knowing, awareness and it is one seamless, intimate, indivisible substance.
We noticed in discussion that language is indeed a crude tool, a necessary evil if you will and in it identification traps lie everywhere. That’s why transformation involves simply dropping language and “abiding in peace” or relaxing into awareness which is all we really are.
