Act on Love and Understanding, Not Separation

When thoughts or impulses come up, should I act on them or let them go? Rupert says: ‘It depends what the thought is. If you have a thought, I need to go to the bathroom, then I would act on it. If a thought comes up, I’m hungry, then act on it. There are so many thoughts, practical thoughts that should be acted on. And then there are also creative thoughts that should be acted on. Any thought that is informed by love or understanding whose purpose is to bring that love and understanding out into the world, those thoughts should be acted on. The only thoughts that you shouldn’t act on are the thoughts that contain the seed of separation within them. Don’t act on those thoughts, but investigate the separate self on whose behalf they arise.’
