Know Thyself | Rupert Spira with André Duqum

In this episode of the ‘Dialogues on Truth’ podcast, Rupert speaks with André Duqum, host of the ‘Know Thyself’ podcast. Delving deeply into non-duality, they discuss topics such as the essence of our true nature, different types of meditation and how we can explore being by using self-enquiry. They also talk about the ways our innate longing for happiness shapes our experience and how, by challenging habitual beliefs and thoughts, we can cultivate a deeper connection to our true self.
