What is ‘beginner’s mind’, and how does that relate to the non-dual understanding? In short, Rupert explains that it is the mind in its natural condition before it has been conditioned by thought and perception. It’s a natural state of openness and peace that remains if we remove from the mind everything we have acquired from experience. Not some extraordinary, enlightened mind – just our essential, natural condition. The reason various spiritual traditions have obscured this simple, direct understanding is that, over the centuries, people had innumerable questions and objections. In response, the teachings put forth innumerable ideas and pathways. But the truth is simple, and all that paraphernalia is unnecessary. He concludes: ‘We have direct access to what we essentially are . . . and we can stand completely free of all traditions, teachers and ideas.’
