Loss of Limitation: Scary Yet Beautiful

A woman says she is scared she might dissociate and ‘really get crazy’ through getting close to the experience of unlimited awareness. She doesn’t know if it’s good for her, or if, like someone who’s been in prison for a long time, she feels safer there than going out into the freedom of the world. Rupert puts her at ease by affirming that this is normal, that the self we seem to be gets accustomed to its limitations, its sorrow even, and feels safe there in the known. To come out of that feels like the death of the separate self. But while this loss of limitation can seem scary and strange, it is also beautiful.

From event 20 April - 20 May, 2024 Seven-Day Meditation Retreat at Mandali – 20 to 27 April 2024
