Infinite Dreams Through Finite Minds

Saturday 27 July 2024

The Impartial Light of the Sun

A man seeks guidance regarding his identifying as a separate self. He shares his long-term practices of recognising peace and stillness and using discomfort as a cue to introspection. Rupert suggests a simpler perspective: although experience changes, awareness remains ever-present like the impartial light of the sun, yet it is too close to be observed, much like eyes are not able to see themselves.
