The Nature of Consciousness | Rupert Spira | Bookcast #164

Rupert Spira is an English teacher of the "direct path", a method of spiritual self-enquiry through talks and writing. In his book The Nature of Consciousness, he challenges the prevailing materialist paradigm that is holding humanity back, suggesting that consciousness is the fundamental reality of the apparent duality of mind and matter, and that overlooking or ignoring this reality is the root cause of the suffering we see around us.
