You do not exist in the way you think you do. You operate through the belief system that you are a separate self, but the ‘I’ that you think you are, the ‘self’, is an illusion. For example, when we say, ‘I am sad’, there is the experience of ‘sadness’ and there is an idea of an ‘I’ who is sad, but when we look for that ‘I’ – the ego – we don’t find it.

A woman who is looking for the ‘I’ but can’t find it, assumes it is hiding. Rupert explains that the ‘I’ isn’t hiding; it isn’t there. He invites her to look more closely and see that she is superimposing an old belief on the evidence of her experience, which reveals that it is not there.

Trust your experience; not your beliefs.There isn’t a thinker, a feeler, a doer, a decider, an imaginer, an achiever or a lover.

This realisation that the ‘I’ is not actually there has a profound impact on one’s life. It is such a relief to know that the one that is hurt or sad is not there.

This exploration of our true nature is known as self-enquiry. Self-enquiry is not an intellectual process, it is a practical almost visceral exploration where we actually do the experiment and go looking for the you that you – the ‘I’ – think you are. We scrutinise our experience as we look for the ‘I’ until we realise that it is not there and that we have based our whole life on the belief that it exists. Our thoughts and feelings, activities and relationships arise and are undertaken on behalf of this non-existent ‘I’.

UPCOMING ONLINE RETREAT ON HAPPINESS (Weekend July 15–17)
Rupert's upcoming Online Weekend Retreat at Home is called You Are The Happiness You Seek, where we will discover that the peace and joy we have been searching for, for so long, can be easily found in the depths of our own being.

During our weekend together, we will come to this understanding not just intellectually, but more importantly in an experiential way, so that we each have a deeply felt sense of the place in ourself where happiness is fully available in every moment.
