The Simple Beauty of Understanding
Thursday 09 October 2025
If only awareness is aware and appearances aren’t aware in themselves, what allows awareness to see through living forms? Could we build an android that awareness could manifest through, and what would enable this? Rupert says: ‘In order for awareness to know form, it must do so from the point of view of a localised mind. A localised mind appears from a second-person point of view as a living, metabolising body. As William Blake said, the body is that portion of the mind that is perceivable by the five senses. There may well be other kinds of mind that our perceiving faculties are not calibrated to register. Given that consciousness is a realm of infinite potentiality, there may be many other kinds of mind who perceive reality in ways impossible for us to imagine because the configuration of their minds would be so different from our own.’
