Finding Clarity From Being, Not Mind

When meditating and reaching a state of being aware of being aware, questions about life decisions completely disappear – how can clarity be found if the mind that wants answers is no longer present? Rupert says: ‘These important life questions deserve careful consideration. You have your situation in life, your mind’s response to those situations, and your true nature of awareness that lies in the background. Awareness itself has no questions about what to do or where to live – those are questions the mind has about the body in the world. The real question is where the mind will get its answers from. Normally the mind is dominated by the separate self, which is insecure and needy. If you make decisions from that place, those qualities will be implicit in your decision. When you have a big life decision, go back to your true nature and allow the qualities inherent there – peace and sufficiency – to inform your mind. It’s not that you literally ask awareness what to do, but by immersing in your true nature, you’ll find that clarity comes from deeper than your mind and begins to percolate into it.’
