Descărcați "Opening the Cracks in Reality"

Some questions or lines of reasoning have the power to lead us to cracks in reality or, at least, our perception of it. A woman says she had such an experience while listening to a conversation between Rupert and Bernardo Kastrup. It resulted in a profound sense of existential horror and her asking herself ‘What can I count on?’. Rupert says I can well imagine that if you really listened while we were discussing our two models of reality, and took the journey with us, at some stage you would have felt that your concept of reality was being dismantled, and that it would crack. For you, I suspect it did and, as a result, you felt this raw fear. If you crack a ceramic bowl and you send it to a mender, they would mend it. But if you look carefully, it's never the same. The Japanese put gold in the crack, which is a beautiful symbol, because it highlights this crack in reality. They say, don't avoid the crack, go there. That's the most beautiful part of the bowl. So, although the crack is terrifying, it's the place to go. The question that arose out of that, ‘What can I be certain of?’, is the equivalent of, ‘Am I aware?’ or ‘Who am I?’ and that question alone would be enough if you followed it all the way. *This video clip was taken at one of Rupert's in person retreats at Garrison Institute 27 March - 3 April, 2022.
