In this meditation Rupert guides us in taking a clear, definite step back from the belief that 'I, the person' is aware to the understanding 'I am awareness'. Just as the screen appears to be coloured by the movie yet remains unaffected by anything that occurs within it, so awareness, the knowing or the backdrop of all experience, remains untouched by any experience arising within it. Disentangling our self from the qualities of the apparent person brings a shift in identity from the body-mind to that which is aware of it.
A woman asks if taking her stand as awareness is a way of avoiding emotions.
A man with a Catholic background asks if equating awareness with God is objectifying it.
A man asks for guidance on sharing the non-dual teaching with his children, ages eight through twelve.
A woman asks for guidance on being aware that she is the witnessing presence of awareness in the midst of experience.
A woman feels her separate self arising strongly when her children 'push her buttons'. She asks why they don't respond as positively as she expects when she relates to them from the position of her true nature.
A man with a family history of mental illness says he has had prolonged periods of stillness followed by panic and the fear of going mad. Rupert speaks about fear arising as a result of ego dissolution.
A man asks for guidance on the best approach to talking with friends who have opposing political views.
