Falling Asleep to Our True Nature

A woman asks about ignoring her own presence, enquiring how it works to overlook the self-aware being. Rupert explains that we tend to forget our being when we focus solely on thoughts and perceptions, falling asleep to our true nature. The waking state, Rupert says, is like a kind of sleep. Awareness, though ever-present, becomes veiled by sense perception, causing us to overlook the reality of ourselves. He compares this to the dream state, where awareness imagines a world and simultaneously loses itself in it.
