Knowing Is the Only Substance Ever Known

Knowing Is the Only Substance Ever Known

A woman, from a yoga tradition, asks about the Sankhya philosophy’s view of two eternal entities (consciousness and matter) versus Vedanta’s view. Rupert leads her to recognise that in direct experience, only knowing is ever encountered – if consciousness were removed from any experience, nothing would remain. He challenges the philosophical abstraction of ‘matter’ as inconsistent with experience, demonstrating that knowing is the only substance ever known.
