Awareness’s Neutral Indifference to Behaviour

When standing in awareness, there’s a natural process – people are kind without formulating thoughts. Is awareness indifferent to separation or unity? Rupert says: ‘Awareness is indifferent. But it’s not an indifference that comes from rejection. It’s more neutral. It is just its nature. It’s not an emotional attitude. Many people who have no interest in these matters are very decent, kind people whose lives are informed by an intuition of unity, even if they don’t formulate it in those terms. Even the people whose behaviour really violates truth or love have some recognition. They love their children. It’s just that they extend their love to such a small circle. Even those people have regular tastes of their true nature without knowing it. Every time a desire is fulfilled, and they have the experience of happiness, that’s the shining of their being. What we are doing here is cultivating something that is natural. We’re cultivating what is everybody’s essential sense of self.’
