The Way of Recognition: A Retreat with Rupert Spira

The Way of Recognition explores numerous pathways back to our essential self, to discover the peace and quiet joy that are our true nature.

Recorded during a weekend online retreat with Rupert Spira, these guided meditations and conversations unveil our essential nature from the content of experience, changing the way we feel the body and perceive the world.

Rupert sometimes refers to this approach as ‘the way of recognition’ – to know again something that we have always known but have overlooked, ignored or forgotten. As we become established in our true nature of being, fewer and fewer experiences in life have the power to take us away from our self. In time, we begin to feel that our being is not really ‘our’ being. Divested of the qualities it acquires from the content of experience, it is revealed simply as being: utterly intimate but impersonal and unlimited, extending way beyond the borders of our self as a person.

That being is not only the essence of our self but the essence of everything – the same reality that all people, all animals and all things essentially are. And this recognition is that to which we refer in relation to people and animals as love, and in relation to objects and nature as beauty.
