Ethics and the Non-Dual Understanding

Saturday 11 October 2025

Are Decisions from Being or Mind?

"Does your being make decisions, or is it your mind? I often feel I make decisions through my body, not my mind. Rupert says: ‘It’s your mind that makes decisions. When you say you make a decision from your body, what you really mean is you make your decision from a part of yourself deeper than the rational mind. You don’t work it out rationally – it comes from deeper in you. It’s an intuition, a gut reaction. But it’s not your being itself that makes the decision. Your decision may be informed by the two qualities of being – its inherent peace on the inside and the fact you share your being with everyone. These qualities might inform the decisions your mind makes and the way you express them. But it’s the mind that makes decisions and expresses them. Your choices and decisions can either rise on behalf of separation, or they can arise on behalf of love or shared being.’ "
