Being Has No Qualities

A man shares two experiences, one of intense peace and another of overwhelming love. He asks if his false self is imposing words onto his experience of being. Rupert assures him the experiences were genuine, explaining that the mind, having been struck by something, tries to articulate it. Strictly speaking, being has no qualities; it knows only ‘I am’. However, the mind, in its normal state of agitation and separation, conceptualises peace as the absence of agitation and love as the absence of separation. Thus, it’s legitimate to ascribe qualities such as peace and love to being, though being itself is without qualities.
