Can I Find My True Nature in a Busy Life?

Can we recognise our true nature without withdrawing from the responsibilities of everyday life?

Rupert says: ‘Close your eyes and go to yourself. Don’t tell us about your thoughts, feelings, history, actions or relationships – tell us about yourself. I am quiet, I am aware, I am.’

‘Keep going back to yourself whenever your attention is not required by the world. There are micro-pauses between thoughts, emails, phone calls and conversations, and you need only five or ten seconds. Eventually, your true nature will cease to be somewhere you visit – you will feel that you live there and can give your attention to the world without leaving home.’
