Defending Truth, Not Ego

Consciousness Wanting to Know Itself

It’s been my understanding that consciousness wants to know itself. Rupert says: ‘That’s like saying the sun wants to illuminate itself. Consciousness doesn’t know what ignorance is because it is pure knowing. So there’s no ignorance in consciousness. It’s inevitable that a finite mind will have an impulse within it. I don’t recommend trying to discipline your desires. But I recommend having desires that arise on behalf of love and understanding.’
