This is the second of two episodes with hosts Aryaan and Emira Arora of the ‘Under the Tree’ podcast. In this episode Rupert speaks with Amira Arora about the fundamental principles of non-duality and how consciousness creates the appearance of reality.

They discuss how creation emerges through consciousness dividing itself into subject and object, how our experience always takes place in the eternal 'now' and 'here' rather than in time and space, and how the understanding of non-duality reveals that nothing truly exists apart from infinite consciousness.

They also explore the nature of free will, examine how awareness knows itself without needing the finite mind, and talk about the dream analogy as a way to understand how consciousness localises itself as apparently separate individuals whilst remaining whole and undivided.
