Pure Consciousness and Enlightenment

What is the connection between pure consciousness and fruition, or enlightenment? Rupert says: ‘There is no relationship. It’s like asking, what is the relationship between the sun and being illuminated? The sun is illumination. So, pure consciousness knows no darkness or ignorance, no relationship with enlightenment. The finite mind doesn’t know that it is really pure consciousness, so it seeks enlightenment until there is this recognition, “I am pure consciousness”. That’s what’s referred to as enlightenment, but only from the point of view of the finite mind.’
