A Discussion about Various Pathways

A woman asks for clarification about the various pathways. Rupert responds that he mentioned the path of the individual and the path of the absolute. We give the individual something to do, to practise. In the absolute or pathless path, there is no path, we go straight to the truth. The intermediary path is Shakti, which is a subset of the path of the individual in that it gives us something to do. Both the direct and the progressive path are the path of the individual. In the progressive path we say to King Lear, 'Your attention is all over the place’, and give him a mantra to corral the mind. Or we say, 'Ask yourself who are you?' and he goes deeper into himself and his attributes and feelings. He then realises 'I am John Smith’. John Smith does not need to do anything. That is the absolute path of Shiva. Self-enquiry is the highest path for the individual.
