Being Dissolves Subject-Object Split

A man asks whether non-dual realisation involves dissolving the subjective perceiver into objective appearances. Rupert affirms this understanding but reverses the formulation – the recognition of ‘what is’ (being) dissolves the apparent distinction between subject and object. He uses the screen/movie analogy, explaining that from being’s perspective, there are no individual entities, just as from the screen’s perspective, there’s just screen, not multiple characters. The man explores further questions about sense perception’s role in the appearance of finitude.
