Actions that Arise from Love and Understanding

Thursday 24 March 2022

Is Effort Required for Recognition?

A question is asked about effort and the metaphor of John Smith and King Lear. Rupert responds that King Lear doesn't exist, so he doesn't really have anything to do. However, sometimes the teaching gives King Lear a suggestion, 'I am' John Smith. Rupert leads the questioner in self-enquiry to discover this 'I am', or the feeling of being, and how effortless this recognition is.
