In this discussion exploring being and existence a questioner says that when she asks herself the question, ‘Am I aware?’ she always feels unsure of the answer. She says she feels it’s because of her ingrained scepticism that she doubts her own experience.

Rupert says It's very good that you're so sceptical and that you doubt everything. But in order to doubt anything, there must be being, because doubt is. If there is doubt, there is being. The fact that doubt exists, is itself the evidence of being.

The fact that you can say there is an appearance means there is something. And if there is something, something must be - you couldn't have something in the absence of being. Now, if we can say that with absolute certainty, being must be known. How could we assert that being is, if being is not known? That's based on undeniable experience. Just ponder that. Don't jump to conclusions. Don't believe anything I say. But don't let your scepticism run ahead too quickly.
