The Feeling of Being Is Not Pure Being

What is pure being? Is it a sensation or feeling that we experience in the body? Rupert says: ‘Consciousness is not an experience in the body, although it is all there is to our experience OF the body. The body is an experience in consciousness, but there is much more to consciousness than just the body. Ultimately, being is not a feeling – so the feeling of being is not pure being. But we could say it’s pure being as it is felt in the body. ‘And if our attention is lost, either in our thoughts or in the outside world, then the body is a good stepping stone on the way back to our true nature. So, as an example, if our thoughts are very agitated, it’s good to go from that to a sensation in the body, then go to the feeling of being, and from there to pure being.’ *This video is from one of Rupert’s weekly webinars, 17 April 2024.
