What Is Reflective Consciousness?

What is reflective consciousness?, a woman asks. Rupert suggests that the concept of reflective consciousness is a holdover from the belief that we are the finite mind and that the infinite mind – God – is separate from us and reflects in our mind, like the sun in the water. That is like saying that John Smith and King Lear are two different beings. The one that knows that I am, is the I am.
