What falls away when the separate self dissolves or the body or finite mind dies? Do we have reason to fear disappearing along with the personal self?
Rupert says: ‘It’s not that the temporary, finite, personal self disappears – it’s that its temporary, finite, personal qualities subside. What is left is really the core of you as an apparently personal self – it’s actually what you love about yourself.’
‘You are nervous that the self that you love will disappear in this understanding but that self is not going to disappear – it will only get stronger. You don’t have to fear disappearance. It’s just a temporary configuration of yourself, which you now experience in the form of thoughts and perceptions, that will subside. You will remain as you are.’

WEEKLY WEBINARS (2 hours) Rupert's webinars take place on Wednesday evenings, from 4pm UK time. In the first twenty to thirty minutes, Rupert leads a spontaneous meditation. The remaining time is open for attendees to discuss their questions with Rupert.
Simon, a man from Milton Keynes, shares his personal journey from physicalism to a deeper understanding of existence and fate. He discusses the feeling of being guided by an internal or external knowledge and seeks clarity on the relationship between individual thought, feeling, and the shared physical environment.
Hello, my name is Simon. I'm from Milton Keynes.
I believe he is referring back to the issue of Miguel's reincarnation.
