Rupert Spira Bücher

„Die Essenz der Meditation“ Teil 1 lädt dazu ein, das Glück nicht in äußeren Erfahrungen zu suchen, sondern tief im Gewahrsein zu verankern. Rupert Spira betont, dass wir erst dann den dauerhaften Frieden und die Erfüllung erfahren, wenn wir dem Geist erlauben, in das Herz des Gewahrseins einzutauchen. Diese Erkundung des Bewusstseins ist unsere intimste Erfahrung – das Wissen um unser eigenes Sein. Doch das Gewahrsein selbst hat keine beobachtbaren Eigenschaften und wird oft übersehen. Die Rückkehr des Gewahrseins zu sich selbst ist die Essenz von Meditation und Gebet und der direkte Weg zu innerem Frieden und Glück. Die Reihe bietet Meditationen, die auf einem essenziellen, non-dualen Verständnis basieren, das allen großen religiösen und spirituellen Traditionen zugrunde liegt. Sie entstand aus den Meditationen, die Rupert Spira während seiner Treffen und Einkehrtage anleitete. Dieser kontemplative Ansatz erfordert keine Anstrengungen oder Disziplin, sondern ermutigt zu einem klaren Erkennen der eigenen Erfahrung. Der Leser wird zu einem experimentellen Verständnis seines eigenen Seins und der damit verbundenen inneren Friedens und Erfüllung geführt.

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

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

The purpose of Rupert's book is to look clearly and simply at the nature of experience, without any attempt to change it. A series of contemplations lead us gently but directly to see that our essential nature is neither a body nor a mind. It is the conscious Presence that is aware of this current experience. As such it is nothing that can be experienced as an object and yet it is undeniably present. However, these contemplations go much further than this. As we take our stand knowingly as this conscious Presence that we always already are, and reconsider the objects of the body, mind and world, we find that they do not simply appear to this Presence, they appear within it. And further exploration reveals that they do not simply appear within this Presence but as this Presence. Finally we are led to see that it is in fact this very Presence itself that takes the shape of our experience from moment to moment whilst always remaining only itself. We see that our experience is and has only ever been one seamless totality with no separate entities or objects anywhere to be found.

"This book is about enlightenment, spiritual awakening, self realization, meditation, awareness, consciousness, happiness, love, relationships, psychological suffering and human predicament. Based largely on actual dialogues between Francis Lucille, a spiritual teacher of non-duality, and some of his disciples, the music of freedom that it conveys resonates between the words, and gives the reader an inkling of the peace and happiness that are experienced in the presence of an authentic master."--Website

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.

Following in the footsteps of Being Aware of Being Aware, Being Myself marks the second addition to renowned spiritual teacher Rupert Spira's The Essence of Meditation Series. In this transformational work, Spira further delves into the nature of consciousness, self-awareness, and what it means to be human.
