Understanding the Model Isn’t Required

A man begins with gratitude for Rupert’s teachings, which helped him discover that he is ‘the core essence of infinite being’. He then questions the Consciousness-only model, suggesting that while our experience is limited to knowing through consciousness, this doesn’t disprove the existence of matter. He proposes a thought experiment: if materialists were correct and matter were primary, wouldn’t our experience be identical to our current experience? Rupert responds that there would be one crucial difference – if consciousness emerged from matter, consciousness would be temporary and finite, contradicting our experience that consciousness is neither temporary nor finite. He adds that since all we can ever know is knowing itself, why build a model of reality with something we could never experience (matter) unless consciousness alone is insufficient as a foundation? The man acknowledges that understanding the model isn’t required for recognising one’s true nature.
