Beyond Both Existence and Non-Existence
Wednesday 26 March 2025
A woman asks whether King Lear (representing the separate self) experiences a moment of realising ‘I am (the actor) John Smith’ (true identity). Rupert confirms there is such a recognition – the realisation that one isn’t essentially the bundle of thoughts, feelings, sensations and perceptions but that in which they appear. The woman then formulates a profound self-enquiry question: What is the experience that precedes and enables the ability to say ‘I’? Rupert praises this unique formulation, encouraging her to explore it deeply.
