Rupert's alright. Unfortunately some beliefs still slip into what he discusses. For example, he uses the metaphor that other people's consciousness' are just the one consciousness that radiates out of a tower with many windows, where the windows would be the different perspectives of one consciousness. It's a nice idea and all, but it's still a belief since we cannot directly experience any such thing.

But that doesn't even matter too much. There's a lot of value in his work as well and it's a great place to start when you want to get your unlearning process going. Like you said, you can still use the old beliefs for communication purposes and all that. It's more about not believing them to be absolutely true, because they aren't. They're just tools. Some other names I will just drop, for your possible inspiration and journey, are Greg Goode, Mooji, Jed McKenna, Goran Backlund (amateur philosopher but with a very insightful book), and of course Taoism fits really well with all of this (zen buddhism is actually the child of buddhism and taoism, when buddhism came to China from India). Alan Watts is great as well of course but virtually everyone knows him. And more for entertainment purposes, the Youtube channel Buddha at the Gaspump can be fun. Rick, the host, is a bit rigid and kind of annoying at times, but the channel is the best of its kind out there.

Enjoy your journey, and if you're interested please feel free to send me a message. I've also been active and a 'guide' at Liberation Unleashed where people are guided to see no-self (on their forums), so if you're interested in that you're free to send me a text as well. I'm also in training to be a clinical psychologist by the way. Just stating that so you know I'm not just winging it when it comes to working with people's minds :-)
