Be the Welcoming Space of Awareness

Monday 28 August 2023

Why Does Evil Appear?

A man asks about what consciousness is and why evil appears. Rupert defines consciousness and then suggests that in order for evil to manifest, consciousness must forget itself and localise as a separate self. The finite mind doesn’t realise it is a limitation of consciousness. It believes it is self-existing. And as it feels itself to be separate, it views everyone and everything as either a source of happiness or a threat. There is no sense of shared being.
