Drawing Attention Back to Ever-Presence

A woman expresses tiredness with analytical discussions of physics, space and time at a recent retreat, noting she feels more alive when Rupert shifts to poetic expression. She describes difficulty accessing being, experiencing it only as a ‘blank wall’. Rupert uses the analogy of a woman seeing absence of a painting while her friend sees presence of wall – explaining how the mind projects emptiness onto being’s presence. He emphasises that being is not empty but ‘full of itself alone’, always accessible through the simple experience of existing. Despite the woman’s resistance to investigating her current experience of being, Rupert persistently draws her attention to the ever-present experience ‘I exist’, encouraging her not to be satisfied with mere glimpses.
