Rupert V Rupert – the Fish are thirsty till the cows come home Questioning and pondering the Nature of Consciousness

There are many great thinkers and philosophers who over the millennia have sought to ‘know’ to understand the only questions of any real importance – who are we and why are we here? How does this human form – composed of Stardust: i.e. all the same elements that exist in the surrounding environment – get to be aware: i.e. conscious of its ability to be aware?

Two such modern day thinker/seekers are Rupert Sheldrake and Rupert Spira:  Rupert number one includes the notion of Panpsychism into his message of a universe within which everything is conscious.  While Rupert number two suggests such rhetoric is a dead end street –and that only consciousness is conscious any proposals offered after this ‘fact’ are essentially moot, laboured and superfluous.

All the ponderances and conjecture that have been offered throughout history will never deliver the ‘knowing’ – the current living master will advise the single answer is to Know Thyself – and it this knowing: via direct experience with life: the life that is delivered into the human body breath by breath that will answer all the questions and until this is known – breath by breath – or as often as each of us can manage day by day – we will live in the gap between our potential enlightened state (of knowing) and wherever we happen to be on the scale of awareness – the fish will remain thirsty in the water until the cows come home to roost because as Zorba the Greek suggests “You can knock on a deaf man’s door all day”.
