The Knowing of Knowing

A man asks whether the ‘knowing of knowing’ is itself an appearance to be transcended into isness. Rupert clarifies that knowing of knowing is consciousness’s knowledge of its own being. It seems to come and go only because it’s intermittently veiled by experience, like blue sky appearing as patches between clouds. The man’s confusion stems from experiencing knowing as alternating with mind states, but this is only appearance – being is the ever-present background sometimes concealed, sometimes revealed.
