Book Club: Friday February 5th, 8pm Paris Time
Book Club is on Friday, February 5th 8pm Paris time.
There is no teacher, no students. Our conversation will center around the quotes from Rupert's books.
Starting on page 77 – Being Aware of Being Aware - Chapter 6
“It is not awareness that is obscured or missing: it is we who have turned away from it. That is, it is the mind that has turned away from its source and essence.
It is only when we ‘give up and turn back’- only when we cease seeking peace and fulfillment in objective experience and turn the mind in the directionless direction, allow it to sink deeper and deeper into the heart of awareness from which it has arisen - that we begin to taste the lasting peace and fulfillment for which we have longed all our life.
Awareness’s recognition of itself...is not some kind of new knowledge: it is simply the clear seeing of what was always and already the case but seemingly obscured by the activity of thinking and perceiving. Nor is awareness’s recognition of its own essential nature an extraordinary experience to which some minds have privileged access.
Being aware shines equally brightly in all experiences. Even a deep depression is illuminated by the light of awareness. Being aware is not buried, veiled or hard to find. It is the very light of knowing with which all experience is known.”
