Our True Nature is Self-Knowing

A man asks if awakening is a dissolution of the belief in a separate self. Rupert suggests that the dissolution of the belief comes as a result of the recognition. Our true nature is self-knowing. Rupert uses the analogy of the actor John Smith to elucidate. King Lear doesn’t have the recognition that he is John Smith, it is John Smith that recognises himself. The moth loses itself to become the flame. The idea of recognition is a concession to the separate self.
