If Consciousness Doesn’t Change, What Evolves?

"If consciousness doesn’t change or is changeless, what is it that evolves? And if time is a concept of the mind, is there really any evolution? Rupert says: ‘From an absolute point of view, from the point of view of the absolute truth, no. But from the relative point of view of the mind, yes. From the relative point of view of the mind, there is change and therefore evolution. But if we want to stay with the absolute truth, there is only knowing, knowing only knowing, and there is no objective experience in that knowledge, because this knowing never really divides itself into a subject and object. It only seems to. So from that point of view, no, there’s no evolution of knowing. But the evolution – it could only be the evolution of something objective. Only something objective, like a mind or a body or a world or a company, only something objective could evolve. Strictly speaking, in the highest understanding, there is nothing objective. There’s just infinite being. And there’s nothing to evolve. There’s no evolution.’"
