About

Being Aware of Being Aware explores our primary, most intimate and familiar experience: the knowing of our own being, or awareness’s knowing of itself in us. However, awareness, or the experience of simply ‘being aware’, has no observable qualities and is, therefore, usually overlooked or ignored. The returning of awareness to itself – being aware of being aware – is the essence of meditation and prayer, and the direct path to lasting peace and happiness.

‘It is always still in the depths of the ocean, irrespective of the storms that may be raging on its surface.’
– Rupert Spira

Available in ebook, paperback, and audiobook formats. The audiobook version is 2 hours, 40 minutes in length and is read by Rupert Spira.

The Essence of Meditation Series presents meditations on the essential, non-dual understanding that lies at the heart of all the great religious and spiritual traditions. Taken from meditations led by Rupert Spira at his meetings and retreats, the simple, contemplative approach presented here encourages a clear seeing of one’s experience, leading to an experiential understanding of the peace and causeless joy that are the true nature of our essential being.

‘I’ve gained deeper understanding listening to Rupert Spira than I have from any other exponent of modern spirituality. Reality is sending us a message we desperately need to hear, and at this moment no messenger surpasses Spira and the transformative words in his essays.’ 
– Deepak Chopra, author of You Are the UniverseSpiritual Solutions and Super Brain 


‘Being Aware of Being Aware is the distilled essence of all I have learnt of meditation and prayer over these forty years. I hope it may lead you to the wellspring of peace and happiness within yourself.’ – Rupert Spira

'Brilliant! I love it. It's absolutely to the point. The quintessence of all spiritual teachings. Of course it's not just about reading it. It's about reading, contemplating, meditating. It includes everything that's needed. I was always looking for a book like this. You don't have to go through hundreds of pages to find the key points. In this little book more or less every sentence is a key point. It's actually more a meditation tool than a book. People might expect a thick book when it's about philosophy, but this is not so much about intellectual understanding, but realization.'

'For lack of a better word. I am a work in progress like… I've been into this seeking consciousness aspect of life for 50 years or so, give or take, and have read hundreds of books relating to the topic, self-realization, for lack of a better word. I am a work in progress like every soul here and now. I've tried many different ways. I'm just here to say, most humbly and certainly thankfully, that Being Aware of Being Aware is the best explanation of the Direct Path I've ever experienced, bar none. Thank you Rupert Spira!'

'It's the most effective form of self-enquiry I have practised and almost too good to be true. Rupert Spira's approach to knowing the Self is novel, simple and effective. This work is a treasure trove with virtually every sentence pointing the reader to the Self. The book's emphasis is on asking oneself the question, "Am I aware?" It's the most effective form of self-enquiry I have practised and is the flip side of that famous self-enquiry question, "Who am I?" Only less cumbersome! Rupert is an amazing teacher whose teachings come from his own experience of the Self. These teachings are relatively easy to incorporate into one's sadhana and also suitable for one embarking on the path of Self-enquiry.'
