I’m staying at Mercy Center, a Catholic retreat in Burlingame, California. They are very ecumenical and host all kinds of groups. I just sat for three hours in a spacious room filled with like-hearted apparent others.

Rupert, in his own pristine and precise style, led us directly into the heart of direct experience.

We dissected the direct experience of thoughts, objects, time, and space to discover at the root only knowing–which has no objective qualities–and is hence both undeniable and unfindable.

I am filled with unbridled joy that I get to rest in this field of love, with radiance shining everywhere.
