Emotions Dissolve in the Open Space of Awareness

Friday 23 September 2022

An Arid Peace

A woman reads a short piece by a Japanese nun to express her own experience. Everything she knew fell away, including her suffering. She asks if she is missing something. Rupert responds that her experience is familiar in that we're so involved in our everyday life prior to recognition, which leaves us with a feeling of peace that feels a bit arid. When the sorrow goes some of the more positive aspects of experience diminish as well. It is an intermediary phase; in time, it overflows as love in all experience. It will come back but less personally.
