Being Aware of Being Requires No Enquiry

A man seeks clarification about non-duality, the Direct Path, and self-inquiry, wondering if experiences like appreciating beautiful music constitute the Direct Path. Rupert explains this is actually the indirect path – going via an object back to one’s true nature. He contrasts this with the direct path exemplified by their opening meditation of simply being aware of being, which doesn’t require enquiry. The man recognises how identifying as ‘I am [my name]’ creates separation, with Rupert explaining that the primary experience ‘I am’ precedes any qualification. He uses the metaphor of a newborn infant who experiences being before receiving a name, noting that same pristine being remains unaffected by life experiences and forms a basis for making decisions from peace rather than ego.
