Beyond Absence of Objects

A woman asks how to go beyond the absence of objects in meditation. Rupert points out that the answer is in her question – whatever knows both objects and their absence must be beyond both. He uses the screen/screensaver analogy: the objects are content, their absence is the blank screensaver, and awareness is the screen behind both. When the woman asks if the mind can ever formulate being in this place, Rupert explains the mind wasn’t present there so any claim of ‘being there’ is misappropriation.
