In this latest Rupert Spira Podcast episode, Rupert talks with the musician Corey Hunter, with whom he released the song 'Love Eternal' earlier this year. Along with discussing the inspiration for the song, this delightful conversation which is filmed at one of Rupert's retreats, goes straight to the heart of the big topics: the reason behind all suffering, the illusion of death and time; the ultimate nature of reality; the true meaning of love; oneness; and the application of the non-dual understanding in the world.

In this latest Rupert Spira Podcast episode, Rupert has a delightfully philosophical conversation with the Oxford Psychedelic Society that delves into many facets of the concept of oneness as the nature of reality, illustrating how we experience it in our daily lives. With the understanding that we are all one — the essence of the non-dual understanding which forms the basis of all major spiritual and religious traditions — how do we reconcile the fact that we share the same being with the apparent separateness of everybody and everything? And in a world where we do realise the truth of oneness — or infinite consciousness — what are the implications that has for the way that we structure society? Covering ethics, metaphysics, infinity and the finite mind, good and evil, suffering, love, self-enquiry, the illusion of ego, panpsychism, consciousness, the universe and the Buddhist notion of emptiness, this in-depth and wonderfully illuminating discussion leads us to the inevitable conclusion that is summed up beautifully by the Indian sage Ramana Maharshi: “Your own Self-Realisation is the greatest service you can render the world.”

Rupert was invited to join the SHINE team and Metropolitan Police staff for a second webinar during which he guides the group through an experiential exploration of the questions – ‘What is aware of my experience?’, and ‘What, or who, am I essentially?’ This is followed by a Q&A with the officers, whose daily work often takes them into contact with highly charged, stressful, and demanding situations.  SHINE is the service within the London Metropolitan Police set up to foster and maintain the wellbeing of officers. Rupert first spoke to MET Police staff during a webinar arranged through SHINE, in September 2020, at the height of the pandemic which inspired the first podcast with members of the group last year, which can be found here.

In this episode, Rupert talks with Zoe Blaskey from Motherkind about how to navigate the massive challenges of motherhood and life with more acceptance, ease, joy and purpose.

In this latest episode, Rupert takes part in a riveting debate on consciousness with Bernardo Kastrup (scientist) and Christof Koch (neuroscientist), hosted by the Oxford Psychedelic Society. With such a vast scientific and non-dual knowledge between them, this fascinating conversation delves into many aspects of consciousness and the nature of reality, including: awareness and the human mind; phenomenal consciousness; reductionism; idealism; Integrated Information Theory (IIT); meta and artificial consciousness; and psychedelics. 

In this latest episode, Rupert talks with Kimberley Snyder from The Feel Good Podcast about awakening to the innate peace of your true self. This delightful conversation touches on many common topics discussed in spiritual circles today, such as: the ego; forgiveness; how to deal with big emotions; desire; suffering; facing the emptiness inside; the art of letting go, and enlightenment.  

Rupert Spira gives a fascinating lecture on non-duality and the nature of consciousness, challenging conventional materialist thinking. He explores consciousness, awareness, and the illusion of the external world. The podcast also discusses personal freedom, choice, and the mind-addiction connection.

In this latest Rupert Spira Podcast episode, Rupert joins David Chuter from Watkins Mind Body Spirit magazine for an eye-opening conversation about finding inner peace and lasting happiness, to mark the publication of Rupert's new book You Are the Happiness You Seek. Watkins Mind Body Spirit magazine is a quarterly esoteric magazine published by Watkins Books in London. Like the famous bookshop (established over 100 years ago), the magazine covers a wide range of subjects from contemporary spirituality and self development to mysticism and Eastern philosophy.

Moderated again by host Steve James, Rupert and award-winning poet and author Henry Shukman pick up their discussion from a few months earlier. Here they discuss the practice of art and its connection with spirituality. Amidst sharing observations on one another’s artistic evolution, they discuss in depth their respective apprenticeships. At first artistic, then spiritual, the training for both men involved total immersion in traditional forms and, crucially, surrender to a master teacher. They consider such lengthy, one-to-one training in relation to their desire to make the teaching available to large numbers of people. Is it possible to go deeply with those few who are interested and, simultaneously, widely to many? Regarding what makes impactful spiritual art, they concur that artists with great humanity can enter very deeply into the whole human drama with powerful empathy and understanding, and thereby convey what is eternal and universal.

​​Bernardo Kastrup joins Rupert for a follow-up conversation, with Simon Mundie moderating. This conversation covers several complex topics. It is a deep dive into matters such as the sharing of our being, how to love those who are causing pain and war, infinite consciousness’s experience of itself, and much more. Bernardo has two PhDs, one in computer science and another in philosophy. He was employed first at CERN, the European council for nuclear research, where he began working in artificial intelligence (AI) in connection with the Large Hadron Collider. Then he moved on to artificial consciousness (AC), wondering if which inspired him to ponder whether he could build an artificially conscious entity and piqued his interest in philosophy. Simon Mundie is the host of the podcast Life Lessons: From Sport and Beyond, which explores life’s bigger questions.
