Rupert Spira | You Are Infinite Being Clothed in Human Experience @rupertspira | Uploaded December 2023 | Updated October 2024, 19 hours ago.
What is a human being and why is that different from pure being? When can something be considered to be conscious? And can this be verified experientially?
Rupert explains that if you go to your experience of yourself now without referring to the past — if this was the first experience you had ever had — you would not know that you were a human being. We have the experience of ‘I am’ or of being. That is our primary experience. But we don't have the experience of being a human being.
When we say I am, we are not referring to a person's experience of itself. We are referring to beings' awareness of itself. The phrase ‘I am’ refers to the awareness of being, not the awareness of being a person.
