Being Takes a Look at Itself

During meditation when resting in being, why does being sometimes turn around to look at itself, converting being into an object rather than pure recognition? Rupert says: ‘When you want to take a look at being, you’ve risen in the form of the mind. When you’re resting in being, the mind is subsided and then the mind arises again and turns around and wants to have a look. You don’t have to get rid of your experience in order to notice that awareness is independent of experience. You don’t have to turn the movie off to recognise that the screen is independent of the movie.’
