Enlightenment Is Not an Experience

Sunday 16 January 2022

First Understand What Awakening or Enlightenment Really Is

A man says he is looking to wake up 'all the way’, not so he can learn concepts but to feel and understand and live that realisation. He asks Rupert how to do that with the understanding that there really is no 'how'. Rupert responds that we first understand what awakening or enlightenment really is, which is simply the recognition of the nature of your being. It has nothing to do with the paraphernalia that surrounds the teacher or teachings, which are superfluous trappings. It is very simple, this recognition. If this is clear, there is nothing to do. If this is not clear, then some effort is required. In the analogy of John Smith and King Lear, it is important that King Lear investigate who he is, that which is always with us, which is to ask, 'Who am I?'
