The Mind as Guide to the Threshold of True Nature

I’ve been practising being aware of being aware for a few years. The mind wants to partake of stepping back into awareness, which creates uncertainty about whether I’m resting in awareness or if it’s the mind efforting. How does one handle the mind as ‘interferer in chief’? Rupert says: ‘The mind does have some part to play. It’s the mind that introduces you to your true nature. It takes you by the hand all the way back to the threshold of your true nature. But there, the mind has to gracefully let you enter the chamber and remain outside. We can understand that the mind feels offended that it’s not welcome at the party. You have to turn the mind’s questioning back on itself and say, “You are so upset because you’re not allowed to come in. Well, what is it that is aware of this upset?”
