What Determines Individual Existence

Building on earlier discussions, a woman asks about what determines one’s particular vibrational activity or modulation as an individual finite being. After acknowledging the clarity of Rupert’s explanation about the interaction between infinite being and finite mind, she asks what specifically determines that this particular configuration becomes ‘me’. Rupert simply answers, ‘I don’t know’, agreeing it invokes curiosity but may not be essential to know. This leads to a related question about conscious awareness representing only about five percent of mind’s activity. Rupert explains that our perceiving faculties are not sufficiently refined to register the vast majority of what is happening in reality, comparing it to William Blake’s idea that ‘the body is that portion of the soul discernible to the five senses’.
