Not All Thoughts Take Us Away from Our Being

A question is asked about a still and peaceful cat that has been referenced througout the retreat, in contrast to its likely response to seeing a mouse when the cat is hungry. Rupert says he was careful to mention that the cat had just eaten breakfast. The point being, unless we're hungry, there's no reason to be distracted from one's being. The vast majority of thoughts take us away from our being, but there are thoughts that are necessary.
