Rupert Spira | The Dissolution of the Ego @rupertspira | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 14 hours ago.
In this conversation about the dissolution of the ego, a woman asks about a fearful experience where she felt that the boundaries of her body were dissolving. Is that something she is supposed to feel?
Rupert says: ‘First of all, there is nothing you are supposed to be feeling. The understanding may take a completely different shape in somebody else, but for you there is this strong feeling of your body dissolving. But that’s not what is problematic – the real problem is the fear that you are experiencing. But that’s a good sign. Your understanding has taken you to one of the core emotions that defines the separate self – the fear of disappearance.
‘See that it’s not really your being that is threatened. Throughout this process, your being remains the same. So when you feel this fear, go to your being – and as that one, turn towards the dissolving feeling in the body and the fear that accompanies it and welcome it. Then it will lose its power over you and, in time, as a byproduct of this understanding, it will leave you.
