Aware Being

Living from Your True Nature

De: Rupert Spira

Narrado por: Rupert Spira

Discover the reality of your true self through the profound insights and practices of nonduality.

In the whirlwind of daily life, many of us grapple with a persistent sense of dissatisfaction—a lingering feeling that something is missing, no matter what we achieve or acquire. We chase happiness, believing that possessions, experiences, and relationships will fulfill us, only to be let down by their fleeting nature. But what if the path to lasting peace and contentment is simpler, and far more profound, than we’ve been led to believe?

In Aware Being: Living from Your True Nature, Rupert Spira guides us on a transformative journey to a profound realization—that the happiness we seek and the love we long for are the very essence of who we already are. His clear teachings on nonduality and contemplative practices become living wisdom, helping us move from conceptual understanding to direct experience that transforms and enriches our daily lives. With each audio session, we’re invited to:

• See Beyond the Illusion: Discover how our perception of reality is shaped by the false mental construct of separation and duality.

• Recognize Oneness: Awaken to the truth that there is no “self” and “other”—everything we perceive is inseparable from the same awareness of being.

• Embrace This Understanding: Release the illusion of separation and live from a place of unity, peace, and love, free from the cycle of suffering.

• Rest in Your True Nature: Experience the freedom and wonder of aware being, untouched by the ever-changing fluctuations of mind and emotion.

Each session illuminates the subtle, yet profound, recognition at the heart of these teachings. “When we let go of all thoughts, memories, feelings, sensations, and perceptions, our self alone remains,” says Spira. “Not an enlightened, higher, special self that we’ve become through effort or discipline, but simply the being that we always and already are—joyful and free.”

WANTED: More Rupert speaking, and fewer ...

...ridiculous questions from obtuse students/retreatants, please!

Some of the QA sessions are downright embarrassing to listen to, and sometimes they kind of drag Rupert down into a bunch of clumsy rationalization and conceptual stumbles as well.

The best sections of thise audiobook are the longer chapters where it's just Rupert speaking and leading a meditation: Chapters 3, 8, 18, 24, and 29. At least 2/3 of the chapters in between are basically just filler---and yes, I know that is a dreadfully NON non-dual view, hahahaha. But there it is. I have listened to those 5 chapters repeatedly because they are rich and reward re-listening.
