Can Meditation Get Rid of Pain and Suffering? | Rupert Spira
Can meditation get rid of pain and suffering? And when pain arises during meditation how can we tell if it is physical pain or psychological pain or trauma?
Rupert Spira is an English teacher of the “direct path”, a method of spiritual self-inquiry through talks and writing, and a notable English studio potter with work in public and private collections. From an early age, Rupert Spira was deeply interested in the nature of reality. At the age of seventeen, he learned to meditate and began studying and practicing the teachings of the classical Advaita Vedanta tradition under the guidance of Dr. Francis Roles and Shantananda Saraswati, the Shankaracharya of the north of India, which he continued for the next twenty years. During this time he immersed himself in the teachings of P. D. Ouspensky, Krishnamurti, Rumi, Ramana Maharshi, Nisargadatta, and Robert Adams, until he met his teacher, Francis Lucille, in 1997. Francis introduced Rupert to the Direct Path teachings of Atmanada Krishna Menon and to Jean Klein and the Tantric tradition of Kashmir Shaivism, and, more importantly, directly indicated to him the true nature of experience.

Could it be that the “outpouring of the Spirit on all people” described in the Bible (Joel 2:28, Acts 2:14) means every culture, class, and social group? 😉 Bill Johnson shares on the importance of holding firm to foundational truths, and how to overcome disagreement within one’s particular social context to preserve the unity of the Spirit.
