When Mind Is Unnecessary

Why is there a resistance to mental exercises for coming back to true nature, yet an immediate resonance when hearing direct descriptions of reality, awareness and consciousness? Rupert says: ‘The experiments I suggest are for those who feel “I’m agitated, I’m upset, my feelings are hurt” and can’t access the understanding directly. I want to give you tools to find out for yourself whether awareness is inherently peaceful. If that’s already your experience, if it’s self-evident to you, then you don’t need to perform the experiments. You can just go straight there. You may resist these experiments because you’ve already done them in the past, or it’s just self-evident to you. Just turn the volume down in your mind when I’m elaborating those experiments, and rest in your being until some new aspect comes up.’
