Everything Is an Appearance in God's Being

The Moth Seeks and Fears the Flame

A woman asks about the separate self and seeking and resisting. Rupert suggests that the separate self wants to protect itself. At the same time, it longs for happiness. It doesn't realise it to begin with, but in seeking happiness what it's really seeking is to divest itself of its limitations. It's like the moth and the flame. The moth seeks the flame and fears the flame.
