Until the Mind Ends in Understanding

A man, who’d previously thought he’d had a scientific mind but now is more interested in the experiential aspect of non-dual understanding, asks Rupert if it is essential to keep exploring beyond the experiential. Rupert replies that it is ‘essential only for those for whom it is essential’. In other words, there is a vast variety of minds, and some are philosophical and scientific. Others not so much. All that is required is that we recognise our being and that we share it with everyone and everything. But it is certainly legitimate if a mind has questions, objections, wants to build a model of reality, and so on. Some teachings just beat the mind down every time it asks a question. But in our approach, we respect the mind that questions, and we go with it for as long as it questions, until in the end the mind brings itself to its own end through understanding.
