Why does simply being sometimes feel like it’s not enough? A man says he previously experienced being as spacious and open, but lately it feels more neutral. How can he get back to that expansive state and feel joy and happiness again?
Rupert says: ‘Being never wants more. This feeling that your being is neutral and therefore somehow lacking or insufficient is a feeling. You want to change the feeling, but your being – or the fact of being aware – is not a feeling.
‘Go back to your self. Go to the experience of being. Sink deeply into it. If you do that, there’s no sense of lack, or needing more, or wanting things to change. That is the kingdom of heaven. That is peace. Rest in it. Sink into it. Abide in it. Everything you have ever longed for lives there.’
