Responsibility for Thoughts

A man questions the notion of personal responsibility for thoughts, citing Rupert’s book The Light of Pure Knowing and expressing relief at finding an alternative perspective. Through Socratic questioning, Rupert guides the man to recognise that if we cannot control our thoughts (evidenced by our inability to eliminate negative ones), we cannot be responsible for them. He explains how practice enables one to respond differently to triggering situations – not by controlling thoughts but by returning to one’s true nature instead of reacting habitually.
