The Heart of Experience

Today’s session was an inspirational one. We listened to the audio tape for Chapter 21 and read portions of the text. Our sharing was powerful. Rupert was saying that pure knowing lies at the heart of experience—and nothing else. We are that knowing.

Members of our group spoke of their experiences of oneness. The radical assertion of Rupert’s that our thoughts, bodies and feelings do not exist as separate entities independent of awareness was mentioned. We gave examples of the truth of this in our own experience. That’s when the characteristics of our separate selves are revealed as nothing more than thoughts and activities aimed at moving us out of the present moment to complete ourselves. Rupert says this movement is imaginary and we all realized that what he was saying was true.

Our separate selves are imaginary in reality—and are only real from the perspective of those ‘selves’. All we have to do is abide in the awareness that we always are to experience peace, happiness and tranquility.

This is what Krishnamurti teaches, as well.
