Böcker av Rupert Spira

The overlooking of our own being is the root cause of all unhappiness and, therefore, the root cause of our search for happiness. This collection of contemplations, the first volume in the Essence of Meditation series, will lead readers toward their own experiential understanding of that which we all call "I," inviting them to relax into awareness and explore their true nature.

In A Meditation on I Am, spiritual teacher Rupert Spira offers beautiful and contemplative prose poetry to help readers reach an experiential understanding of their own essential being.

Following in the footsteps of Being Aware of Being Aware and Being Myself, The Essence of Prayer marks the third addition to renowned spiritual teacher Rupert Spira's The Essence of Meditation Series. In this transformational work, Spira explores non-duality through the lens of devotional prayer, and elaborates on the understanding that the peace and happiness we seek can be found in the knowing of our own being.

Our self, aware presence, knows no resistance to any appearance and, as such, is happiness itself; like the empty space of a room, it cannot be disturbed and is, therefore, peace itself; like this page, it is intimately one with whatever appears on it and is thus love itself; and like water that is not affected by the shape of a wave, it is freedom

All that is known is experiencing, and experiencing is not divided into one part (an inside self) that experiences and another part (an outside object, other, or world) that is experienced.

The Ashes of Love features 280 sayings by Rupert Spira, taken from conversations with friends over a three year period.From the Foreword by Monique Proulx: 'This book is a distillation of penetrating statements gleaned from the numerous teachings of Rupert Spira: at times borrowing the musicality of a haiku, the terseness of a pith instruction or the persuasive power of an oration. But no matter its shape, each one bears the treasure of a full teaching ....Rupert Spira is an artist. He sculpts words into condensed forms of pure intelligence to which there is nothing to be added or removed. He sculpts our understanding until it becomes pure light, pure flame. Truth seekers familiar with his teaching will find its essence here: concise, sharp as a diamond, overwhelming with its awesome higher reasoning, whilst bathing us in unconditional love. Others will be struck by the clarity and profundity of Reality as conveyed by this master of Advaita, and illumined by the glimpse of an inner revolution.'

It's not always easy trying to figure out who you are in this ever-changing world.

The Transparency of Things calls us to look clearly at the nature of experience, without any attempt to change it.
