In this 8 minute video from Rupert, he responds to a questioner who wants to know why God or the Life Force allows so many conflicts and even war. Rupert explains that there is only one root cause and that until we are able to address war and conflict at its root issue, wars and conflicts will continue indefinitely.













Given that I have a sense of the reality of this SELF, but presently am not in tune with it, is it helpful or not to be training to be a counsellor when the training works with self-concepts….which leads in a different direction I think. Please can you advise as I feel I have an aptitude for this counselling work, but it involves an empathy and focus that is conventional, and I feel it may be trapping me as it influences my thinking work… and my sense of what compassion is, and what ‘helping’ people is… Please can you advise?
I don’t have a strong ego due to unmet developmental needs. I’ve heard Rupert say that non dualism can be destabilizing for someone like me. He said that the ego needs to be developed before we can head into post egoic state. I was disappointed to hear this because it means I have a long way to go to get to realizing my true nature but at the same time I feel like there is truth in that.
I don’t interpret it this way. I mean what Rupert is saying is: First you have to live a life as a person, as an ego: do school, have relationships/family, a job… And then you may recognize the truth of being Nothing and Everything. “First a mountain is a mountain. Then a mountain is no more a mountain. And in the end a mountain is a mountain again.” (more or less in these words, out of a Zen-buddhism proverb)
