Awareness Both Transcends and Pervades Experience

A woman discusses the propensity to abide in a transcendent, peaceful place that, when too much time is spent there, leads to detachment from the world. She asks if the deep, dark uncomfortable places of her life are part of this understanding. Rupert says that in early days, he used to think that one hung out in a kind of detached, aloof state. But that is in contrast to being completely involved in the content of experience. It is legitimate, initially, to stand back, to disengage from the world. What we are does transcend experience but experience is also imminent within awareness. You allow experience to come back, and you return fully into experience.
