Reflections on perception and awareness, Rupert Spira

Video with

Rupert Spira discusses relationships and perception as they relate to consciousness.

From an early age Rupert was deeply interested in the nature of Reality. For twenty years he studied the teachings of Ouspensky, Krishnamurti, Rumi, Shankaracharya, Ramana Maharshi, Nisargadatta and Robert Adams, until he met his teacher, Francis Lucille, twelve years ago. Francis introduced Rupert to the teaching of Jean Klein, Parmenides, Wei Wu Wei and Atmananda Krishnamenon and, more importantly, directly indicated to him the true nature of experience. Rupert’s first book is “The Transparency of Things”, subtitled “Contemplating the Nature of Experience”. His second book, “Presence Volume I The Art of Peace and Happiness” and “Presence Volume II The Intimacy of All Experience” has been currently released by Non-Duality Press.
