Synopsis

In this book, Rupert Spira distills the message of all the great religious and spiritual traditions into two essential truths: happiness is the very nature of our self or being, and we share our being with everyone and everything. Drawing on numerous examples from his own experience, Spira demonstrates that to seek lasting happiness through objects, situations and relationships is destined for failure and disappointment, and skillfully guides the listener to recognize that we are already the happiness we seek. This book is for anyone who yearns for lasting happiness and is open to the possibility that it is continuously available within ourselves, irrespective of our circumstances. Could there be any greater discovery in life than to know that we are already that for which we long?

Mr. Spira clearly has a deep, poetic mastery of the subtle art of simply being aware. And there are a few passages that are worth further contemplation. But I'm only giving it three stars because I also found the entire work to be very, very repetitive. The chapters read like a transcript of a talk,......more

Having already read The Transparency of Things and Presence, Volume I: The Art of Happiness, the final book in the two-part Presence series, The Intimacy of All Experience is a nice companion piece to its first segment, and very much in line with what I have come to expect from Rupert Spira's writin......more
