Chris Williamson
About this episode

Rupert Spira a teacher of the Non-Dualism Direct Path, an author and a potter.

Non-dualism is a state of consciousness that many contemplative practitioners aim to achieve. A dissolving of a barrier between the observer and the experience, it's incredibly complex but thankfully Rupert is one of the clearest and most direct teachers of non-duality.

Today we tackle some of the biggest questions in enlightenment practice, like what are we at our essence? What is consciousness? What does it mean to say that you are the same person that you were 20 years ago? What are we referring to when we say "I"? What happens if you take away everything that we identify with?
