Questioning the Beginning and End of Awareness

With my scientific background, when you say I wasn’t born and won’t die, this seems too spiritual. Awareness started when I was born and will end when I die. Rupert says: ‘Is it your experience that awareness begins and ends, or that it arises, exists and vanishes? I’m not aware that it starts and I’m not aware that it ends. If you’re not aware that it starts and that it ends, why are you so convinced that it does? We have all been indoctrinated by our culture with this belief. This belief is very pernicious. You are exploring the fundamental presumption on which your life and your entire culture is founded, that what you essentially are shares the limits and the destiny of the body. This discovery, this exploration is the most profound question that you could ask.’
