In this 13 minute video, Rupert helps us to understand that those who seek to get rid of desire or get rid (or control) fear are on a futile quest since desire and fear are the very nature (or attributes) of the person (separate self, mind). The only way desire and fear can ever be shed is through the ending of the idea of a separate self.













There are no shoulds because there is no person with power to do or not to do anything. The “person” does what she is conditioned to do.
I agree. And some people have the conditioning and power to change their conditioning so it is more functional, to transform their conditioning so they are living saner, healthy, kinder lives.
When I sit down to meditate, go inwards, count my breaths or feel the sensations methodically through my body, I am soon in a state not of Awareness but of SNOOZE.
Thank you. So agree.
The explanation of the desire and fear of the finite mind was very useful to everyday life – and how Awareness is essential for finding any peace in the finite world view. Thank you for your ability to make duality vs nonduality so clear.
