@Leo Gura Rupert says world exist outside of our finite mind. He belives in finite minds and a world outside of it. (If i understood him correctly) is this why you said something along the lines of he isnt fully awaken.

 

"Outside world doesn´t exist in our finite minds but it does exist in consciousness"

How can something exists in consciusness if nobody is consciuss of it? For example lets talk about Mars, Mars is just a thought in my mind, I am just consicous of a tought, I am not consicous of Mars, so how can Mars exist in consciousness then? Isn´t "Mars existing in consciousness" just a thought?

 

I remember Ruber Spira defending this point I have mad in the last paragrah, in a conversation with Sam Harris, it looks like he is contradicting himself here

He said the world exists outside of our minds. Which can said to be correct.

 

Isn´t just a thought? What actually exists is the thought "the world exists outside of our minds", not the world itself.
