What Is Samadhi and How Can I Attain It?

What is samadhi and what can we do to attain it? Is there still an “I” when we reach that state? And what is the difference between sahaja samadhi and nirvikalpa samadhi?

Rupert says samadhi is just the natural condition of awareness. It is just awareness being itself, unmixed with the content of experience. Awareness is always just itself, but most people's knowledge of their self is so mixed up with the content of their experience that whilst everybody knows their self to a degree, not everybody knows their self clearly.

Samadhi is not an extraordinary state of mind it is just to know ourselves clearly — that we are essentially unmixed with all the superfluous elements of experience. This is why clear self-knowledge is really the essence of all the great religious and spiritual traditions.
