The greatest discovery in life is to discover that our essential nature does not share the limits nor the destiny of the body and mind.
Rupert SpiraYour Self, Aware Presence, knows no resistance to any appearance and, as such, is happiness itself; like the empty space of a room it cannot be disturbed and is, therefore, peace itself; like this page, it is intimately one with whatever appears on it and is thus love itself; and like water that is not affected by the shape of a wave, it is pure freedom. Causeless joy, imperturbable peace, love that knows no opposite and freedom at the heart of all experience....this is your ever-present nature under all circumstances.
Rupert SpiraLove is the natural condition of all experience before thought has divided it into a multiplicity and diversity of objects, selves and others.
Rupert SpiraGive your attention to the experience of seeing rather than to the object seen and you will find yourself everywhere.
Rupert SpiraLooking for happiness in the body, mind or world is like looking for the screen in a movie. The screen doesn't appear in the movie, and yet, at the same time, all that is seen in the movie is the screen. In the same way that the screen 'hides' in plain view, so happiness 'hides' in all experience.
