This Is All There Is

Does the Body-Mind Use Consciousness?

Does consciousness use the body and mind to experience the world, or does the body and mind use consciousness to experience the world? Rupert says: ‘The latter. Only consciousness is conscious. Only awareness is aware. Only consciousness experiences anything. And it uses a mind in the case of a human being, perception to experience itself as the world. The ego is just an apparent limitation of consciousness. You can’t have the ego without consciousness.’
