Summary of Rupert Spira's The Nature of Consciousness

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Sample Book Insights:

#1 All that could ever be known is experience, and all experience is known through the medium of mind. Thus, the first imperative of any mind that wishes to know the nature of reality is to investigate and know the reality of its own mind.

#2 The most profound knowledge that the mind can attain is its own essential nature. The mind’s recognition of its own essential nature is a different kind of knowledge that is the ultimate quest of all the great religious, spiritual, and philosophical traditions.

#3 All experience has objective qualities that can be observed or measured in some way. Everything in objective experience has a form in time or space and a limit. The mind consists of two elements: its known content and its knowing essence.

#4 The common name for the knowing or experiencing essence of mind is I. I am the name we give to whatever it is that knows or is aware of all knowledge and experience. I am the knowing in all that is known, and the experiencing in all experience.
