Being Aware of Being Aware
The Essence of Meditation Series
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 Universe, Spiritual Solutions and Super Brain
