Introducing 'I Am' Jonny’s journey from pitch to podcast, and an introduction to Jonny's upcoming interview with our first guest of the series - Rupert Spira.In this debut episode of I Am, host Jonny Wilkinson explains how, in his mid to late twenties, a physical and mental health crises halted him right in his tracks. Jonny goes on to describe how a change in perspective, inspired by this challenge, revealed a new dimension of possibility to him that he had never before explored or contemplated when looking at potential. Drawing energy and guidance from quantum physics, yoga and enlightened beings like the Buddha as well as his experiences on the sporting field Jonny has devoted himself to offering and sharing his findings with others.Jonny also explains where Thursday's guest: spiritual teacher, author (many times over) and fellow podcast host, Rupert Spira, falls into the picture, and condenses down and explains (as best as he can) what Non-Dualism is (it sounds more complicated than it is).A note from Jonny: "This is just the beginning of my podcast journey and I am looking forward to finding my own rhythm and tempo. Thank you, listeners, for joining me on this exploration and for engaging with subjects that may sometimes feel a little rough around the edges in their delivery but hopefully will become more defined as the series evolves''.

I Am... Rupert Spira: In his first interview of the series, Jonny travels to Oxford and the home of writer and spiritual teacher, Rupert Spira. Having discovered and resonated with Rupert’s work and teachings a while ago, Jonny is keen to discuss his perception of human potential and transformation. Throughout this enlightening conversation, Rupert draws on a lifetime of investigating the nature of the mind and reality through philosophy as well as his teachings in the ‘direct path’ and non-duality to give insightful and eloquent examples. Together Jonny and Rupert cover a lot of ground, from the fact that so much of our lives are seemingly spent in the quest of happiness, what it means to truly be in the zone as a sportsman, the close correlation between physical body and emotional state and what Rupert calls the Illusory sense of self.
