The Nature of Consciousness

Have you ever felt a gap between your inner self and the outside world? Discover the profound truth that you are not just a mind inside a body, but the single, unified consciousness in which all of experience appears. This summary of Rupert Spira's work guides you through the non-dual understanding of reality. You'll learn to dissolve the illusion of separation, overcome the fear of death, and find lasting peace by recognizing your true nature as infinite awareness itself.

Rupert Spira is a preeminent international teacher of the non-dual understanding, guiding people worldwide to a direct experience of the nature of their own awareness. Originally a ceramicist trained in the tradition of Bernard Leach, his profound inquiry into the nature of reality began early in life. This unique background, blending the discipline of an artist with decades of spiritual investigation under Francis Lucille and Jean Klein, directly informs the lucid clarity of his essays on consciousness.
