Be with Being Rather Than Feelings

A woman expresses confusion about awareness and emotions, noting a tendency to shame or prevent feelings using spiritual concepts. When Rupert advocates being with being rather than feelings, the woman objects, believing emotions dissolve when felt and expressed. Rupert suggests emotions feed on attention, comparing them to neighbours – why spend time with difficult feelings when peace is available? While acknowledging the woman’s approach may work for them, he offers the tantric alternative: bringing feelings so close they lose separate existence, dissolving into peace.
