Finding Experiential Peace Beyond Intellectual Understanding

I understand intellectually that I am awareness, but I don’t experience the peace and love you describe. What am I misunderstanding? Rupert says: ‘You can experientially take your stand as awareness rather than in your thoughts and feelings. That which is aware of your fluctuating feelings, does that one fluctuate? Is that one anxious or restless or nervous? Most of the time you are involved in or immersed in the content of your experience. Just briefly take a step back from the content of your experience, disentangle yourself from your thoughts and feelings, come back to the screen of awareness and rest as that. Every time you go back, you are weakening the pull of your thoughts and feelings. At some stage, there’s a shift. Your new centre of gravity, your new home is your being.’
