Episode 73: Tami Simon

In this episode of Insights at the Edge, Tami Simon interviews Rupert Spira, a leading voice in contemporary spirituality, about his book "You Are the Happiness You Seek." They discuss the nature of happiness, or as Rupert clarifies, sufficiency and peace, as the inherent nature of being, like the blue sky behind the clouds of emotions. Rupert shares practical methods for accessing this inner peace, such as turning away from or embracing challenging situations and focusing on the "I am" experience, distinguishing it from the content of one's experience. They explore the concept of "awareness deficit disorder" and how recognizing our shared being can lead to a more harmonious world. The conversation also addresses the relationship between "becoming" and "being," and how honoring both the absolute and relative levels of existence can enrich one's life.
