    The Weekend University (second conversation)

    Rupert speaks with the founder of The Weekend University, Niall McKeever. They talk about what non-duality is and how the non-dual understanding can be useful to therapists and their patients in alleviating psychological suffering.

    Deepak Chopra (4th conversation)

    In this episode Rupert talks again with author Deepak Chopra. They discuss Rupert’s book ‘The Heart of Prayer’ and how it formulates the non-dual understanding in terms of prayer and being.  They also examine the Direct Path and its application in exploring consciousness, or being; the experience of ‘I am’; love as the recognition that we share our being with everyone and everything; and the evolving understanding of consciousness as the basis of reality.

    Dr Christopher Wallis

    In this episode, Rupert speaks with Sanskritist and scholar-practitioner of Classical Tantra, Dr Christopher Wallis. They discuss the understanding that is at the heart of some of the greatest spiritual traditions, such as Christianity, Sufism, Advaita Vedanta, and Kashmir Shaivism, and how Advaita and Tantra, even though they emphasise different aspects of the understanding, are complementary and contained within each other.  They also talk about the importance of translation, how the truth needs to be reformulated by each generation, and how the self that is said to be void, or empty, from the point of view of the finite mind is, in fact, plenitude itself.

    Francis Lucille (Moderated by Simon Mundie)

    In this episode, author and broadcaster Simon Mundie moderates a delightful conversation with Rupert and Francis Lucille. They discuss a wide range of topics including non-duality, its implications, the similarities and differences between Rupert’s and Francis’s approach, and how their relationship evolved from one of student and teacher to one based on friendship. They delve into their histories and influences, their different styles and ways of expressing the non-dual understanding, and various aspects of fundamental reality. They also explore enlightenment, the ‘hard problem of consciousness’, and the projection of perfection onto those who are considered to be so-called spiritual teachers. In fact, the two assert that rather than being considered teachers, that people view them as friends sharing truth with friends.

    Nikki Walton

    In the first episode of the newly titled ‘Dialogues on Truth’ podcast, Rupert speaks with Nikki Walton from ‘GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki’. They discuss the purpose of being, the nature of prayer, and the difference between the thought ‘I am’ and the experience it refers to. They also explore how we can get back to our essence when we are overwhelmed by experience, and why we often return to sorrow and conflict despite knowing that freedom is available to us at all times. Rupert then concludes with a guided meditation.
