My Experience Is Consciousness Itself

A man challenges what he perceives as a presumption at the heart of Rupert’s enquiry – that one’s experience of being is being itself. Rupert reformulates this as ‘my experience is consciousness itself’, with consciousness’s experience of being being consciousness’s experience of itself. When the man suggests this remains an unjustified assumption and that being might not be exhausted by experience, Rupert questions whether he actually knows he is. The man acknowledges he doesn’t currently have the experience of being (though he recognises it from past experience), claiming there’s ‘no abiding feature’ to his experience. Rupert suggests the man is imposing an interpretation by moving from ‘my experience of being is my experience of God’s being’ to ‘my experience of being is God’s experience of being’.
