Balancing Being and Personhood

Friday 11 April 2025

Understanding Shared Being

How can I verify that we all share the same being without falling into solipsism? Rupert says: ‘If you say, I know that I am. From what experience do you derive the certainty that I am? From the experience of being . . . You derive the certainty I am from the experience of being . . . That being is present, aware, open, spacious, but empty of content. It is without limitations, without borders . . . If I go deeply into my being, I find exactly the same experience that you find . . . If there was a difference between the being that you find and the being that I find, that difference would have to be something with form . . . When people speak here, and sometimes someone will speak, and I can relate to it . . . In that moment of closeness, you are tasting your shared being.’
