  You are by far, the most eloquent, present, effective, compassionate teacher out there... &nbsp; I have been listening to you for 7 years now, and it just keeps getting deeper and richer and more &nbsp;effective... &nbsp; Thank you Rupert Spira, for the brilliant non duality teacher and gorgeous being that you are....

  So simple yet so profound is the essence of the teaching. Stop seeking and rest with experience, abide and sink in yourself. There, everything is known

  I had been seeking for many years and I cannot express the joy that I found Rupert’s teachings. I finally understand very clearly who I am and am looking forward to listening to him for the rest of my human life and meeting him in person one day. I don’t have to search anymore. What a miracle I am experiencing! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

  I once fell into &quot;madness&quot; and deep sorrow at a 10 day &quot;silent&quot; retreat. I had to leave early. I found the part about silently avoiding other people&apos;s eyes to be extremely disturbing. The silence was ok but I did not &quot;grok&quot; the purpose of avoiding eye contact. Sitting silently and eating at tables - sort of together but not. I also became physically ill, did not know why &amp; later realised that I am allergic to tofu. The whole thing was so completely painful - both physically and emotionally. I also learned that my mind is quite extremely delusional and will take all that silence, which is like an empty screen and project on to it all of my past, false assumptions about who my ego thought I was. <br><br>Finally, I am - right this moment - letting go of the intense grief, guilt and sorrow I had fallen into then - about 17 years ago now. <br><br>I also remember that the monk complained that we were not sitting below him as we were supposed to be doing so we had to change our way of sitting. I was in so much physical pain and I did not know why. <br><br>That experience certainly did bring up literally all of my issues but I think I was not ready to deal with so much at once - all alone. <br>I must say that most of the others seemed to be doing fine. I think I was not ready for it as I still I had so much emotional baggage and nobody Intrusted, to help me to deal with it. <br><br>I too am an artist and I very much resonate with Rupert&apos;s description of his artistic experience. <br>I am 75 yrs old now and I am so grateful to have stumbled upon this lovely, compassionate man.

  Marvelous Rupert! I am finally starting to get what this business is. Always straining to get to the next now, makes so much sense.

  This just came to mind, that you are a truly worthy successor of Alan Watts. So eloquent, so elegant, so fluid...so clear.

  No words can describe what this gentle giant of a being has done for many of us. <br>And finally, &nbsp;he has shed light on my many misgivings about silent retreats. &nbsp; So humorously out and so in alignment with our humanity and oneness. &nbsp;Thank you is an understatement Mr Spira.

  Exactly what I needed to hear. That self discovery doesn&apos;t have to be a discipline or a rigorous practice. Just something you feel like doing whenever
