An Unstoppable Impulse to Share

Referring to a previous question about love, a woman asks how Rupert’s experience differs from a ‘calling’ or divine purpose. Rupert rejects the notion of having a special calling, considering it presumptuous. Instead, he describes an unstoppable impulse to share that feels entirely ordinary and natural rather than divinely ordained. When the woman questions whether loving deeply could be described as ‘ordinary’, Rupert affirms it is indeed our natural state, though often obscured in early life. The woman observes that attaining this requires considerable work for many people. Rupert acknowledges he was fortunate – not only did his mother show him constant unconditional love, but she also introduced him to non-dual teaching in his teens. The woman shares her parallel experience of having a nun sister who served as her family’s spiritual guide despite difficult circumstances.
