Unbridled Creativity as a Testament to Being Human from the media Love Turns Everything Into Itself

The entire spiritual path could be broken down into three steps. The first, we proceed from the multiplicity and diversity of experience to the one. The second, we abide in the one, as the one. The third, we proceed from the one, to the multiplicity and diversity of experience without ceasing to be the one. The first step starts out as the progressive path and culminates in the Direct Path. The second step is the Pathless Path. Then the third step is the return to the multiplicity and diversity of experience whilst remaining as the one. It could be called the path of love. In the first step, the one is the goal of our practice. In the second step, the one is the path of our practice. In the third step, the one is the origin or source of our practice. Always only the one.

A woman says when she hears the word ‘one’ something in her seeks it in duality. Rupert comments that countless words are used to describe or evoke reality. Really, we should remain silent. All these words are feeble attempts of the finite mind to evoke the infinite. If the one doesn't resonate for you, just replace it or go to the wordless word.

A man says he can notice thoughts come up and fall away during meditation, but otherwise they come with a charge. Rupert suggests staying effortlessly poised on that wire of having it and losing it. Stay with the 'I am' regardless of thought. Peace turns everything into itself. Love turns everything into itself.

A woman shares a quote from Isaiah and thanks Rupert.

A woman says her understanding seems to shine through in illness, but there are times when the physical veils being. She asks for tips regarding physical suffering obscuring and veiling consciousness. Rupert responds that sometimes the sensation is so intense that it seems to veil being, and one must be humble in the face of this. It doesn't mean that we have to come down off the mountain, but that a dark cloud covers the mountain, and then passes.

A man asks about the half perceive, half create quote from Wordsworth. Rupert says that reality is one infinite, indivisible whole. From its point of view, it can only know its indivisible self. It cannot know a part because there are no parts in itself. In order to manifest, it must overlook its nature and seems to become a finite self. It acquires a limit, so everything perceived shares the limitation of that finite mind. We are literally perceiving the infinite, though it appears finite due to the limitations of our perceiving faculties.

A man describes steeping in the form of a question, which came with the realisation that there is no time, no path, and no me, which he says feels wonderful but also carries a degree of terror. Rupert suggests this is a matter of simply getting used to this way of being. Live the implications of the understanding.

A man shares how he feels that he is marinating in love and expresses his gratitude to Rupert and the community.

A man asks about Rupert's use of the word 'suffer' during the retreat, which Rupert confirms he uses in the biblical sense, which is 'to ‘allow.'

A woman shares that she feels like a neophyte and that while this has been a wonderful immersion, she thinks she has a long way to go and acknowledges that in order to honour everyone’s journey. Rupert says ‘Welcome to the family’. The teaching isn’t just given out by Rupert; it is the community of friends which is a vehicle of the teaching. The fact that you want to care for those who are struggling is that in action.

A woman says that the poetry heard during the retreat puts her in touch with God but is something she needs to practise. She feels she is missing some devotional aspect. Rupert recites John Milton.

A man, who feels that he connects with those who are gone, wonders if he should continue to welcome the suffering of this love. Rupert suggests if there are people in your past that you weren't able to fully express your love to, just take the lesson of that forward and fully express your love now. It’s a beautiful practice to always talk to someone as though it is the last time you will talk to them, because it may be.

A woman shares how at the last retreat she was looking for reassurance, but she has found that it doesn't matter whether things are easy or not. She shares that she, her being, is always fine. She expresses her gratitude to Rupert and the community.
