What is non-dual realisation? Is it the dissolving of the subject-object relationship? And is that what leads to the recognition of what truly is?
Rupert says: ‘I would formulate it the other way round – it’s the recognition of what is that dissolves the apparent distinction between the subject and the object. Being is the fundamental reality of all people, animals and things. From our point of view, we are a limited being that perceives a multiplicity and diversity of other beings and things. But from being’s point of view, there’s no subject and object, no individual people, animals and things.
‘So, the recognition of what is doesn’t collapse the distinction between the subject and object, because there was no real distinction in the first place. It collapses the belief that the separate subject and object are real in their own right.’
