In A Meditation on I Am, spiritual teacher Rupert Spira offers rich, contemplative verse to help you reach an experiential understanding of your own essential being. Spira's essential teachings shine through each passage, revealing how your mental and emotional patterns are not in fact your true self, and how this realization can bring lasting inner peace.
For seasoned spiritual seekers and newcomers alike, this meditative poem celebrates the truth of what we essentially are: our essential being that we all refer to as "I," which shines in each of our minds as the knowledge "I am," and which is temporarily colored by experience but is never, in any way, modified, changed or harmed by it. In A Meditation on I Am, spiritual teacher Rupert Spira offers beautiful and contemplative prose poetry to help readers reach an experiential understanding of their own essential being. Spira's essential teachings shine through each passage, revealing how our mental and emotional patterns are not in fact our true self, and how this realization can bring lasting inner peace. From an early age, Rupert Spira was deeply interested in the nature of reality. At the age of seventeen he learned to meditate, and began a twenty-year period of study and practice in the classical Advaita Vedanta tradition under the guidance of Dr. Francis Roles and Shantananda Saraswati, the Shankaracharya of the north of India. During this time, he immersed himself in the teachings of P. D. Ouspensky, Krishnamurti, Rumi, Ramana Maharshi, Nisargadatta and Robert Adams, until he met his teacher, Francis Lucille, in 1997. Francis introduced Spira to the Direct Path teachings of Atmananda Krishna Menon and the Tantric tradition of Kashmir Shaivism (which he had received from his teacher, Jean Klein), and, more importantly, directly indicated to him the true nature of experience.
