How Can I Live from Being?

How Can I Live from Being Instead of Just Visiting It?

"I still get discouraged because, whilst being can be recognised, there’s still struggle with disentangling from experience content. Shouting at my family sometimes after meditation indicates that triggers remain. How can one dwell in being rather than merely visit it? Rupert says: ‘Don’t worry. Sometimes our mothers are maddening. You are always being – but don’t worry if you don’t live there all the time, you just dip into it. These openings that you describe – there are all these little gaps, natural gaps that nature gives you for free every day. Each time you feel one of these gaps, just sink into the warm bath of being, and then get out again and go about your everyday life. It takes time, especially for one who has a very sensitive nervous system. It’s not agitation; it’s sensitivity. When you call it agitation, you put a negative spin on it. Your nervous system will gently, progressively be infused by the peace of your true nature. You’ll still remain very sensitive, but your sensitivity and the agitation that attends it won’t disturb your being.’"
