Awareness Is the Constant, Illuminating Factor in All Experience

Thursday 05 January 2023

Why Do I Insist on Being Unhappy?

A man wonders about why he seems to insist on being unhappy, Rupert suggests that while he has taken one step back, he needs to go back to the awareness behind the unhappiness. The separate self and happiness or peace are mutually exclusive in the same way that the moth and the flame are mutually exclusive. When the moth is not with the flame, it is unhappy, but when the moth touches the flame – which is the experience of happiness – the moth is no longer there to experience it. It becomes the flame.
