Rupert Spira | Finding Equanimity @rupertspira | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 11 hours ago.
A woman seeking equanimity says she keeps being pulled back to old, egoic ways of thinking and feeling, and away from her true self. How can she prevent that and stay with the peace of her true nature?
Rupert says: ‘In most cases, when we have this recognition of our self as awareness, we just get a brief glimpse. However, the old habits of thinking and feeling are so strong that this recognition is very quickly forgotten and we fall into the feeling of being a separate person again.
‘But every time we trace our way back through the layers of experience and have this recognition, the capacity that experience has to take us away from our self weakens. We’re developing a new habit, and we begin to notice that we don’t just fleetingly glimpse our true nature. In time, there’s less back and forth, and we find ourselves established in the peace of our true nature – not just visiting it from time to time, but living there.’
