What is deep listening, and how is it different from spiritual seeking?
Rupert says: ‘Seeking is the prelude to deep listening. This “great search” takes place on the horizontal line of time – but deep listening is a plunge into the vertical dimension of being. Most of us stop searching in the conventional world and start seeking in the spiritual world – but it’s still a search.
‘But sooner or later that search brings itself to an end – we step off the line of time, sink into this vertical dimension of being, and stand in eternity. That’s deep listening, or the Pathless Path.’
