What Makes Mind Different from Matter?

"If everything is a modulation of infinite consciousness, is there a difference between mind and matter? And what makes each of us different – the modulation itself or our bodily limitations? Rupert says: ‘It’s the perceiving faculties of the finite mind that render the activity of infinite consciousness as a finite physical universe. Your own mind imagines a world within itself, made entirely of mind. But in order to experience that world, it localises itself. When it looks at its own activity across that perceiving boundary, it doesn’t see the activity of its own mind. It sees a Caribbean beach made out of matter. The reason we’re all different is because every finite mind takes from its initial conception a completely unique trajectory.’"
