Infinite Being Is Not a Spiritual Experience

What is meant when we speak of ‘infinite being’? Is it something mystical? Does it refer to an extraordinary spiritual experience that only a select few of us will ever know or that can only be achieved through advanced meditation practice? Rupert says: ‘“Infinite” means not limited. “Finite” means limited, and “limited” means it begins and ends or starts and stops. Everything we experience through the mind – thoughts, feelings, perceptions and sensations – is limited or finite. ‘But we also have the experience of being aware. And although we are undoubtedly having the experience of being, we can’t see it, touch it, taste it, smell it or think it. There’s nothing objective or finite there; in other words, it is infinite. So, infinite being is not some extraordinary spiritual, mystical experience – just our most simple, obvious, intimate, familiar experience – the awareness or experience of being.’ *This video is from one of Rupert’s in-person retreats at The Vedanta, 31 May–7 June 2023.
