Conversations with Avant-garde Sages
experience is intimately pervaded by it. But not pervaded by it like
a sponge is pervaded with water. Because there are not two things
at the, there is not experience and the awareness that pervades it.
There is just awareness. As it were and this is really just a matter
of metaphor taking the shape of perceiving, fencing, cleaning,
imagining, tasting, touching, and although that the forms, the
names and the shapes of these appearances may seem to be
changing all the time, their substance, this knowing presence is
ever-present, it never changes.
TRIP: And is present without a human mind.
RUPERT: Yes. It doesn’t require a human mind to know itself. It
knows itself simply by itself. Its nature is awareness. It doesn’t
need the help of the puny human mind in order to become aware
of itself. It is the awareness of itself; in fact it cannot not be aware
of itself. It can seem to forget itself and I emphasize seem. But by
taking the shape of thinking it can seem to lose its own knowledge
of itself and become something else, for instance, a body or a
mind. In other words we can seem to forget our true nature and
pretend to be something else, like a body mind. But even then,
that is only an appearance in just the same way that the twodimensional
screen can seem to be veiled by the image a threedimensional
landscape. But the screen is never truly veiled. In
just the same way awareness never loses or forgets its own
knowing of itself that’s the knowing of its own being. It just seems
to. And when it seems to, the peace and the love that is inherent
in awareness or more than inherent but is awareness itself, are
seemingly veiled. And for that reason this imaginary entity that
we believe ourselves to be is always in search of peace and love.
Because in order to imagine that what we are is a limited entity
that the peace and love that is inherent in the knowing of our own
being is similarly veiled.
