How can we feel the oneness of shared being with another person whilst having a conversation with them? When we look at someone through perception, don’t we experience them as a separate person rather than as our own being?
Rupert says: ‘It’s because you look at reality through the lens of perception. Reality is one, and infinite, and whole, and indivisible. It is your mind that projects multiplicity and diversity onto it. The consciousness with which I know my experience, and the consciousness with which you know your experience, is the same consciousness. You are already experiencing the fact that one consciousness looks through two perceiving faculties – it’s only a small step from there to think that maybe a single consciousness looks through eight billion eyes.’
‘Love veiled is relationship and relationship dissolved is love. You can feel the love that is the foundation of your relationship. The most important thing to know about everyone without exception is that you share your being with them. Whenever you meet anyone, remind yourself that your being and their being are the same being. Don’t just understand that, feel it. You love everyone, but you don’t like everyone – our being has no preferences, but the mind is full of them.’

![Questioning Your Personal Identity
How can enquiring into your sense of {identity} undermine the [conditioning] that gives rise to feelings of inferiority or superiority towards others?
Rupert says: ‘If you enquire deeply into yourself and someone else, you see there’s no hierarchy. That’s your experience. But don’t just understand it intellectually – feel it. If you stay with this experiential answer to your question, it will undermine the relatively superficial conditioning you have.’
‘All our ideas about being better or worse than others are superficial compared to the true knowledge we have of our self and of others. One is not better than the other, one is not more valuable. There is no hierarchy. This understanding should be the foundation of all our relationships. Imagine what kind of world we would live in if we all knew and felt this basic truth.’
