A man wants to know if, before we can do ‘non-meditation’, we need to discipline and purify our minds through years of objective meditation practice.
Rupert says: ‘The mind does not need to be purified through discipline, because it is already pure. Simply ask yourself a question such as, “Who am I really?” or “What is it that is essential to me?” It’s not the verbal answer that’s important but that you go to your self and stay there. To begin with, your old habit of paying exclusive attention to the content of experience will pull you out of your self again. When you notice that, just ask the question and come back to your self again.
‘Every time you do that, you weaken the power that objective experience has to take you away from your self, and you begin to find you’re established in your true nature of peace. There’s no longer a conflict between giving your attention to the world and being your self. It took me thirty or forty years, but just because I’m a very slow developer. It needn’t take that long. I’ve now condensed those forty years down. And two or three days should be plenty.’
