Being Is Unchanged by Experience

Thursday 17 November 2022

Thoughts and Feelings Are Not a Problem

A woman says she is like a yoyo, going back and forth from the freedom of the sky to the clouds. Rupert responds that the appearance of clouds are not problematic. The sky never complains or is affected and goes on being the open sky. Thoughts are not a problem; the problem is allowing ourself to become entangled in and defined by them. The same is true of feelings. Experience has no power over us unless we give it power. Feeling we've done something wrong or bad is personalising impersonal being.
