Episode 1 In this episode, a woman says she notices different witness states during meditation and asks if they are different perspectives of awareness; Rupert elaborates on the ego and the ramifications of the belief in a limited, separate self; and a woman asks who makes decisions in life if there is no doer. The dialogues in this episode are taken from Rupert Spira's December 2019 retreat in Wales, Being Myself.

The perennial, non-dual understanding that lies at the heart of all the great religious and spiritual traditions – Advaita Vedanta, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Judaism, Sufism, Taoism and Zen, among others – allows us to investigate the essential nature of our experience. In the simple knowing of our own being, we discover the source of the peace and happiness for which all people long above all else.
