Everybody is aware, all seven billion of us. We are aware of thoughts, feelings, sensations, and perceptions. All people share the experience of being aware, but relatively few people are aware that they are aware. Very few people ask, "What is it that knows this flow of thoughts, feelings, and perceptions? With what am I aware of my experience?"Most of us spend our lives looking for peace in the world: in success, relationships, experience, even spiritual practice. But what if the happiness we seek is found not in what we are aware of, but in awareness itself?Drawn from guided retreat meditations, conducted by the best-selling author and philosopher, Rupert Spira, Being Aware of Being Aware reveals that peace is not something to attain, but the nature of what we already are. The contemplations in this collection will lead readers toward their own experiential understanding of that which we all call "I."
