Rupert Spira Podcast

In this conversation from The Infinite I Am Conference, Rupert speaks with Bill Free, founder of Pure Presence Productions. Rupert starts with a guided meditation on abiding as infinite being, followed by a question and answer session. Topics include the oneness of being versus the loneliness of the ego, how grief is an expression of love and the difference between the Direct Path and the Progressive Path.
 
 Also discussed: remaining as being amid habitual mind patterns, the natural experience of being and doing as a dual track in everyday life, and whether the body and being are truly one.

Episode 83: Bill Free (The Infinite I Am Conference)

In the fourth episode in the series recorded at Colet House in London, Rupert answers questions about whether it's possible to overdo spiritual practice, why emotional stability is important when investigating our true nature and the relationship between 'I', 'self', and awareness.
 
Also discussed are how our relationships and work may transform as our understanding deepens, the most difficult thing to give up on the path of devotion and why enlightenment is not an experience but simply the recognition of the nature of being.

Episode 82: Colet House (Episode 4)

This is the second of two episodes with hosts Aryaan and Emira Arora of the 'Under the Tree' podcast. In this episode Rupert speaks with Amira Arora about the fundamental principles of non-duality and how consciousness creates the appearance of reality.
 
They discuss how creation emerges through consciousness dividing itself into subject and object, how our experience always takes place in the eternal 'now' and 'here' rather than in time and space, and how the understanding of non-duality reveals that nothing truly exists apart from infinite consciousness.
 
They also explore the nature of free will, examine how awareness knows itself without needing the finite mind, and talk about the dream analogy as a way to understand how consciousness localises itself as apparently separate individuals whilst remaining whole and undivided.

Episode 81: Amira Arora (Under the Tree Podcast)

This is the first episode of two with hosts Aryaan and Emira Arora of the 'Under the Tree' podcast. In this episode, Rupert speaks with actor, musician and composer, Aryaan about the fundamentals of non-duality, the source of suffering in relationships, and what it means to awaken from the dream.
 
They also explore the true nature of love, why many seekers experience a sense of emptiness after self-recognition, what happens after awakening, what it means to become established in your true nature, and the only experience that is absolutely true.

Episode 80: Aryaan Arora (Under the Tree Podcast)

In the third instalment in the series recorded at Colet House in London, Rupert answers questions about the correlation between deep sleep and our experience of death, how consciousness responds to our prayers and communicates with individuals, and why, after awakening, desire diminishes.
 
Also discussed are the causes of the physical responses – of tears and joy – that often occur when entering these gatherings, how compassion fits within the non-dual understanding, and whether there are other ways besides the Direct Path to find the true 'I'.

Episode 79: Colet House (Episode 3)

This is the second installment in the series of curated conversations from gatherings with Rupert at Colet House in London. The episode begins with a meditation and includes dialogues on how we can understand deep sleep when the finite mind cannot comprehend it, where our attention should go in meditation, and what happens to awareness after the death of the physical body.
 
Other topics include how the recognition of our true nature takes place outside time and space, how, in awakening, nothing dies apart from the illusory sense of separation and the sorrow and conflict that attends it, and the relationship between the stillness experienced in awareness and the movement we perceive as reality.

Episode 78: Colet House (Episode 2)

Rupert speaks with physicist, engineer and inventor of the microprocessor, Federico Faggin. The conversation is moderated by speaker, author and BBC broadcaster, Simon Mundie.
 
The episode includes topics such as why the ultimate science is the science of consciousness and how the scientific community is waking up to this understanding, how the divide between science and spirituality is completely artificial, and how we can use AI in the pursuit of truth and love.
 
They also discuss why the real point of interest is the hard problem of matter, not the hard problem of consciousness, and they explore various aspects of quantum and classical physics and compare views on whether free will is an illusion.

Episode 77: Federico Faggin

In this episode Rupert speaks with the head of the Vedanta Society of New York, Swami Sarvapriyananda. The dialogue is taken from the Awake in Stillness: The End of Dreaming Conference and is moderated by Bill Free from The Centre for Awakening.
 
The conversation touches on many topics related to Advaita Vedanta, such as the Progressive Path, the Direct Path and the Pathless Path, the process of awakening, and what life is like after realisation.
 
They also discuss free will, seeing the true reality behind all appearances, the nature of awareness, and they talk about how we can stay grounded despite what we see now happening in the world.

Episode 76: Swami Sarvapriyananda (Moderated by Bill Free)

The first in a series of curated conversations from gatherings with Rupert at Colet House in London, this episode begins with a meditation and includes dialogues on coping with depression, dealing with challenging people and circumstances, and understanding feelings of existential dread.
 
 Other subjects include what it means to embody being, how to effortlessly remain with being, and how the thought 'I am' is different from all other thoughts.

Episode 75: Colet House (Episode 1)

This discussion with André Duqum from the 'Know Thyself' podcast delves deeply into non-duality, different types of meditation, and the essence of our true nature.
 
Rupert also offers practical guidance on how we can cultivate a deeper connection to our true self by challenging habitual beliefs and thoughts, shows us how we can explore being through self-enquiry and explains how our innate longing for happiness shapes our experience.

Episode 74: André Duqum

In this episode Rupert Spira talks to Jenny Beal about his work as a potter, and the evolution into his current activity, with Rupert making the transition from the form of clay to the form of words. 
 
If you'd like to explore these themes further, Rupert's book A Meditation on I Am (2021) features the poem Rupert engraved onto large bowls. The book also includes a short afterword, 'Bowls out of Words'.
