Episode 2: Conversations on Sensations and Perceptions, the Fear of Death and the Reality of Experience
The dialogues in this episode are taken from Rupert Spira's April 2019 weekend in Amsterdam, The Nature of 'I'. In this episode, a man asks Rupert to speak about the body as an instrument of perception; a woman asks for guidance about her fear of death; and a man asks for help with understanding that experience is made of awareness. The perennial, non-dual understanding that lies at the heart of all the great religious and spiritual traditions – Advaita Vedanta, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Judaism, Sufism, Taoism and Zen, among others – allows us to investigate the essential nature of our experience. In the simple knowing of our own being, we discover the source of the peace and happiness for which all people long above all else. For audio and video recordings of the full weekend and the entire library of Rupert Spira's recordings and publications, as well as information about attending live and streamed events, please visit rupertspira.com.

Episode 1: Conversations on the Witness, the Ego and Making Decisions
Episode 1 In this episode, a woman says she notices different witness states during meditation and asks if they are different perspectives of awareness; Rupert elaborates on the ego and the ramifications of the belief in a limited, separate self; and a woman asks who makes decisions in life if there is no doer.
