For Whom Is Experience Overwhelming?

Being very sensitive, I find myself rejecting experiences because they feel too intense. How can I stop this resistance that seems to strengthen over time? Rupert says: ‘When you say “it’s too intense”, for whom is it too intense? Is awareness saying “this emotion is too intense for me”? What is it or who is it in you that says this is unbearable? Your whole life revolves around this one for whom experience is too much. If you saw clearly the nature of the one for whom you say experience is too much, you could just walk out of your home with an open heart, open to the world. If you understand that the feeling that life is unbearable is for a non-existent self, what’s going to happen to the feeling that life is unbearable?’
