Episode notes
Non-Duality As Universal Happiness
- Rupert reframes non-duality as the universal answer to humanity's search for happiness rather than exotic 'enlightenment'.
- He argues calling it happiness makes it accessible to everyone, not a small spiritual elite.
Enlightenment Is Recognition, Not Spectacle
- Enlightenment is not a supercharged sensory experience but the recognition of the nature of our being.
- It is transparent and formless, not a colorful objective event.
Emptiness Means No Objects, Not No Being
- 'Empty' as used in Buddhism means empty of objects, not empty of consciousness.
- Consciousness is full of itself, not a void lacking presence.
