Realignment After Recognition of True Nature

I understand the concept of direct experience, but isn’t there ultimately an ethical component to life that we have to manifest? After direct realisation, we still have to act in this life, and I’ve seen teachers with profound understanding who still have personality issues. Rupert says: ‘In this approach, this realignment or purification takes place after the recognition of our true nature, or at least during its exploration, but it’s not considered a prerequisite. The change comes from inside as a result of recognising our true nature and its qualities. And then that informs this realignment of our thoughts, feelings, actions and relationships. If you are speaking about these matters and you do or say something that is not consistent with what you say, then you should be very humble and acknowledge it, and apologise if appropriate. Anyone who speaks about these matters, we are all fallible. We are not perfect, and we make mistakes.’
