You Haven’t Lost Him; He’s Come Closer

A woman shares that her uncle, who was a close friend, died suddenly. When she saw his body, it seemed that his consciousness was gone and he was just an empty shell. Rupert asks her if consciousness is in the body or if the body appears in consciousness. He relates an analogy about a building being taken down, leaving only rubble, but the luminous space in which it had existed remains untouched. Her uncle’s true being, like that space, is still present. She hasn’t lost him; he’s come closer to her now.
