Squeezed Into a Few Square Meters

A man asks about volition, wondering if planning, like coming to the retreat, is an act of will or the mind seeking its source. Rupert explains that infinite consciousness is like a vast space, and finite minds are like separate rooms within it. When consciousness seems confined in the body, a tension arises, as if something infinite is squeezed into a few square metres. The finite mind feels constrained and longs to return to its natural state of equilibrium, wholeness and peace. This impulse drives all desires, whether seeking happiness through objects or enlightenment, always aiming to return to its true infinite nature.
