Intelligence and Non-Duality

Understanding Will in Non-Duality

A man questions how will fits into the non-dual framework, noting that thoughts about actions seem distinct from the actions themselves. Rupert uses the analogy of a contracted rubber ball seeking to return to equilibrium – consciousness contracted in a finite mind creates tension seeking resolution. This impulse manifests as will in various forms (desire for happiness, enlightenment, etc.). He explains that all actions, including bodily movements, are ultimately activities of consciousness expressing through different modalities.
