Silently Describing Being

Thursday 12 September 2024

Who Is the One That Sees?

A woman asks for guidance regarding the process of self-enquiry, such as asking: ‘Who is the one that sees?’ Rupert explains that when the mind asks, ‘Who am I really?’ it becomes redundant, and the mind resists this. It may try to answer with various statements, but he advises pausing and staying with the question. He acknowledges that this can be uncomfortable and that the mind will resist, urging the woman to be courageous.
