Why ‘I’ Is the Highest Name

Recognising Infinite Consciousness in the Mind

When I step back from thoughts trying to be being, I can’t tell if it’s my mind mimicking being or the real thing. I feel lost. Rupert says: ‘Your finite mind consists of the faculties of thinking and perceiving, plus consciousness. We normally think that the consciousness with which our mind knows or perceives is limited by our faculties of thought and perception. But the consciousness aspect of your mind is like the space aspect of this room. It’s not really limited. The consciousness that seems to be bounded by your faculties of thought and perception is the vast, unlimited, infinite consciousness. Your finite mind is not really a finite mind. The consciousness part of your mind is infinite. You are trying to reach for it. And it is that very effort to reach for it that is subtly objectifying it and is keeping it as a blank object. It’s your wanting to grasp it that is projecting blankness onto the peace of your true nature.’
