Consciousness is all there is, so all appearances in consciousness share its true nature – even appearances such as grief, pain or sorrow. So, when it comes to the qualities that are inherently the nature of being – happiness, peace and love – isn’t it possible to view them the same way we view other appearances within being?

Rupert says: ‘It is possible, and that would be a mistake. Everything is an appearance of being, because aware being or consciousness is the only reality that is present. This is similar to how a landscape that appears in a movie is an appearance of the screen. It’s just our belief that the landscape is a landscape that seems to make it veil the screen.

‘Even sorrow, loneliness and anxiety are appearances of being. When we experience being filtered through the sense of separation, it’s experienced as sorrow or loneliness. And when we experience being unfiltered through the sense of separation, it is experienced as peace, joy or love. There’s no real veiling and therefore no real ignorance.’
