Evocative Words for the Quality of Pure Being

Yesterday you used the word ‘receptivity’ in talking about the mind. Is this the same as your recent use of ‘openness’ and ‘sensitivity’? Rupert says: ‘Yes. Openness, sensitivity, availability, receptivity – these are all words to evoke the quality of pure being. We’re not so interested in being accurate with language; we’re more interested in being evocative for the mind that’s always wanting to know something, to understand something, to achieve something. The mind turns even enlightenment into something it’s going to get. To counteract that predisposition of the mind, words like “pure being” and “receptivity” evoke the right attitude to place the mind in the right place.’
