The Refinement of Consciousness

"Can we say that we are the activity of consciousness refining itself so that it doesn’t pay the price of forgetting while it enters manifestation? Rupert says: ‘Yes, and we are the proof of that. Imagine if what we have here was a microcosm of our civilisation – what kind of civilisation we would have. As for whether this refinement would eventually end manifestation itself – no, I wouldn’t go that far. There’s no need for manifestation to end. Even if everyone on earth were to recognise their true nature, manifestation wouldn’t come to an end. The purpose of a finite mind is to enable the infinite to unfold the potential within it. And there is, by definition, endless potential within it. So no, I don’t see manifestation coming to an end.’"
