Why Does Consciousness Localise Itself as Finite Minds?

Why does consciousness localise itself? What’s the purpose, if it’s knowable? Also, how do I balance sharing this treasure with respecting others’ journeys, especially with my children? Rupert says: ‘Localising itself as an apparently finite mind that is each of us enables it to realise or actualise its potential in form. By itself, without coalescing into a finite mind, it cannot perceive anything objective, because the infinite cannot know the finite directly. In order for the infinite to know the finite, it must do so from a localised finite point of view, but it doesn’t do it for a reason. It is just its nature to do so, because any reason would already be something in manifestation, so there cannot be a reason for manifestation. You share this understanding just by being it and living it. And occasionally, if asked, by speaking of it; but if not asked, don’t speak about it. Just be it and live it. And in doing so, you are communicating it. Explaining things is really a last resort.’
