An Argument Against Materialism from the media The Essence of Mind

In this meditation we contemplate the nature of the mind. The mind cannot turn towards its essential nature in the way that it turns towards an object. In order to know itself the mind has to relax its attention from objects and allow its attention to sink back into itself. It doesn’t go forward towards itself but rather sinks backwards, or inwards, or self-wards, into its own essence, awareness itself.

Rupert describes how the mind is, in most cases, progressively revealed to be made of that for which it searches.

Rupert distinguishes between recognising 'I am aware', enlightenment and being established in the understanding.
