Do the Qualities of Being Modify Over Time?

I had my first experience of non-duality earlier this year – very quiet, peaceful, aware. Given your years of being in that state, would you say the qualities change? When I deepen meditation, I find new levels of peace. Do you perceive different qualities over time, or does it just always remain the same? Rupert says: ‘Non-duality, as you call it, or your being or awareness is not a state. It is the background of all states. Your being is like the ever-present blue sky. The peace isn’t really getting deeper. Your being is always the same, but it feels as if the peace is getting deeper because there’s less and less agitation and sorrow in your thoughts and feelings. All being would say about itself is “I am” – that pure “I am” is being’s quality-less experience of itself.’
