We Cannot Find Being

A man, attending his first event, says that when he goes back to being, he cannot find it. Rupert replies that he is absolutely right; you cannot find being. Trying to find it is like trying to see your eyes. We can’t see our eyes because we are looking through them. The only way to find something is to be apart from it. All experience takes place in a subject–object relationship, except the awareness of being. The subject and the object are the same when we say, ‘I know myself’; the ‘I’ that knows and the ’self’ that is known are the same. That’s why the man quite rightly says, ‘I can’t find myself.’ Rupert says that he can’t find himself either. But at the same time, he knows that ‘I am’.
