Intelligence and Non-Duality

Consciousness vs Being Conscious

A woman seeks clarification between consciousness and being conscious, questioning how we determine what is conscious. Rupert challenges the presumption that we as persons are conscious, explaining that only consciousness is conscious, seeing through human faculties. He uses the analogy of Mary dreaming she’s Jane in Paris – everything in the dream is equally Mary’s mind, though only Jane appears conscious because she’s the localised point through which Mary perceives.
