The Mind Cannot Know Being Directly

A woman questions whether truly being in one’s natural state would prevent remembering or knowing about it from the relative state of awareness. Rupert confirms the mind cannot know being directly, comparing it to King Lear being unable to know John Smith. However, consciousness knows itself directly and immediately – it’s self-luminous like the sun knowing itself by its own light. Being aware is not something to remember because it’s always present as our most fundamental experience.
