Rupert Spira joins us for a profound exploration of consciousness, perception, non-duality, death, meditation, and the nature of existence. Rupert compares our senses to a VR headset: so convincing and so constantly present that we've forgotten we're looking through it. He argues that what we call the physical world is how a deeper reality appears through our limited faculties of seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, and smelling. Rupert also explores what happens to awareness when the body dies, why near-death experiences may involve expanded access to reality, the danger of spiritual bypassing, and why peace isn't something we ultimately acquire from the outside world. At the heart of his teaching is a beautifully simple invitation: recognize the awareness behind experience and discover what remains unchanged beneath the constantly moving drama of life.
