<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In <i>A Meditation on I Am, </i> 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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>"Rupert Spira is one of the great souls. Read his books, and be clarified." <br> --Coleman Barks, translator of Rumi, including <i>Soul Fury</i></b></p><p>A contemplative poem about the intimate, impersonal, infinite nature of being.</p><p>In <i>A Meditation on I Am</i>, Rupert Spira contemplates the essential nature of our self before it has been conditioned or qualified by the content of experience. It is a poem, a prayer and a hymn of praise to the simple fact of being that is the source of the peace and happiness for which we long above all else.</p><p>For seasoned spiritual seekers and newcomers alike, this meditative poem explores and celebrates the truth of what we essentially are: the awareness of being that shines in each of our minds as the knowledge "I am," which is temporarily coloured by experience but is never modified, changed or harmed by it.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>From an early age, <b>Rupert Spira </b>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. Spira lives in the UK and holds regular meetings and retreats in Europe and the USA. www.rupertspira.com. <br>
