Why is it so much easier to feel peace as the nature of one’s own being than to feel that we share that being with everyone and everything?
Rupert says: ‘You recognise that peace and happiness are the nature of your being because that refers to your inner experience. But recognising that you share your being with everyone requires overriding the evidence of sense perception – just as understanding overrides the old belief that the earth is flat, or that the sun goes round the earth. Begin to feel in a way that is consistent with your understanding. What is that feeling called? It’s called love. Just love everything and everybody indiscriminately, because you know that their being is your being and you love yourself.
‘One simple idea is required for world peace: we share our being with everyone. Think of somebody who has hurt you – visualise them, and feel that their being is your being and that you love them as you love yourself, because they are yourself. Doesn’t that attitude heal your resentment? I don’t see any other way of healing the hatred and resentment passed from generation to generation other than this understanding. It would heal the past and be the foundation of a truly peaceful, harmonious, beautiful society.’
