We Are Eternally Awake

Sunday 19 February 2023

Perception Without Thinking

A man asks about a state in which perception arises without thought. Rupert suggests that is the waking state without thoughts. Imagine thoughts stopping for three seconds. What remains? Sensations and perceptions. It’s like watching a movie without the subtitles. Thinking substantiates what it perceives by giving it a name, which makes the appearance of multiplicity and diversity very real. It adds another layer of diversification, which further obscures the One.
