The Self Is Not Just a Place You Visit
Monday 22 April 2024
A man shares that he feels peace in the self-abidance of meditation, but soon after he opens his eyes again and takes in all that information, the peace goes away. How can he navigate this transition from self-enquiry into the world? Rupert concurs that visual perception of the world takes up so much of our attention that when contemplating our experience, we very often close our eyes. And on a retreat, we provide these special conditions that make it easier to trace our way back to our true nature. So, just experiment using the recordings of these last few contemplations we’ve done. Replay them while you are out in the world, perhaps sitting on a peaceful park bench, but keep your eyes open. Then try it again in a slightly more-demanding situation. Test it out in all sorts of difficult circumstances, till you see that everything we’ve suggested thus far is true under all circumstances. It’s already happening now.
