Rupert Spira Podcast

In this episode Rupert speaks with founder and CEO of Sounds True, Tami Simon, about how we may realise lasting happiness, whether we should value both being and becoming, and how to remain at peace amidst turmoil.
 
They also discuss Rupert’s idea of original ADD (awareness deficit disorder), absolute and relative levels of truth, and the Buddhist phrase ‘original face’.

Episode 73: Tami Simon

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

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)

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)

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

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)

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 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.

Episode 4: Conversations on the Nature of Consciousness, Memory and Manifestation

In his latest podcast episode, on the intersection of science and spirituality, Rupert has a discussion with a group of scientists from UC Santa Barbara. They examine various aspects of non-duality such as how a clearer understanding of the consciousness-only model within the scientific community may give us a deeper understanding of reality and how that can help further scientific discovery and progress.
 
The dialogue also covers topics such as the role of self-enquiry in reducing suffering and revealing peace and happiness, the dynamics of enlightenment or awakening and how true philosophy must be verifiable and derived from experience.
