RUPERT SPIRA
About this episode

In the fourth episode in the series recorded at Colet House in London, Rupert answers questions about whether it's possible to overdo spiritual practice, why emotional stability is important when investigating our true nature and the relationship between 'I', 'self', and awareness.

Also discussed are how our relationships and work may transform as our understanding deepens, the most difficult thing to give up on the path of devotion and why enlightenment is not an experience but simply the recognition of the nature of being.
