What Do You Really Want? / Adyashanti

[tonyd7300]

Beautiful!!!

Peace & Love xx

[bleachboy64]

damn he is so still that sometimes i think the video is frozen or buffering lol

[TheGuilanvi]

no body needs to wait. I want enlightenment NOW! haha

[waynebollman]

I feel the presence of satan here. 

[mutageno]

@waynebollman where?

[RHODA4649]

@waynebollman You should read a book called 'The origins of Satan by Elaine Pagels. Fundamentalist Christianity is a fear based religion and not what the message of Jesus was about. jesus was talking about being born in the spirit which what Adyashanti is talking about. Its important to look from a wide perspective...

[hopflo11]

re: the actual video....lol....i guess the old lady had no fears the ego could throw a tantrum with either...no fear of going crazy, being different...she literally had nothing to lose...

[gogreensocialmedia]

What is really true? What was your moment of flow, day of flow, week of flow like? Did you experience opportunities openning up for you, things mysteriously happening in a special order, complete surrender (doesn't mean sitting on the counch)?

[HeavyBarrel]

My Grandmother came out of semi-consciousness at a hospice for a week. She had alzheimers so she was still confused, but very awake and talking a lot about her parents and things from her youth. Also, said she has to go somewhere. she eventually went back into a semi-conscious state. My family and I whispered to her that its OK to let go, and not to worry because there's nothing left to do here. She died a few days later. I was of course sad, but glad for her.

[freedomfromthemind]

"Life takes care of itself" .... Amazing.

Namaste, thank you for posting this.

[xjoe1988x]

we are co-creators of Gods creation.

[Countrychiddler]

@xjoe1988x God creates nothing. Manifest existance is endless stuff. Pattern patterning. Klik Klak. Klik Klak.

If you want to realize the truth of this riddle stop thinking of God as creator.

God is the unmoving source from which all creation springs but "The Dude" has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the results.

[TheRealReasonForDP]

it seems to become difficult not in letting things happen but making decisions..when we are faced with more than one decision we feel we MUST make a choice and we feel a lot of pressure to do that. How do we flow when there are so many choices to be made? How do we know which is the right one?

[holysmile]

awesome story.........adyashanti is cool

[greenearthnazi20204u]

The whole point of JK is that One doesn´t need to b better or worst than anyone (Including J.Christ) , All we need is TO BE.

And in a world like ours, . Who knows??

Peace , it´s really hard to find someone who refuses to be the new messiah, and totally reject the idea of being THE guide..people are sheep they need a Shepherd i deeply understand J Krishnamurti it took me awhile i read 1 book 7 times in a month. the silence calls too me the unknown whisper its secret to me.

[JazzyKat2009]

@greenearthnazi20204u J. Krishnamurti was pretty awesome. I'm glad to find someone who truly appreciates him.

[WeNeedA3rdParty]

1. the story sounds like BS; 2. why is he speaking so softly? is he trying to hypnotize the audience? think people these gurus aren't where it's at

[greenearthnazi20204u]

@WeNeedA3rdParty ALL THERE IS IN THIS UNIVERSE ARE KEYS AND DOOR . YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS BEHIND A DOOR UNTIL YOU OPEN IT. THERE ARE GLASS DOOR THAT A PEERS TOO BE CLEAR AND SO YOU PASS THEM BY THINKING YOU KNOW WHAT IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF DOOR THAT IS THE ILLUSION .YOU MISSED THE 100000 DOOR PERFECT AWARENESS OF ,LOVE AND PEACE.

[tchiritchou]

Don´t know why I feel so inconvinced by that guy (I don´t know him) and others too ???

Frankly, the only one who made and still makes sence FOR ME is J.Krishnamurti.

In fact, People like Tolle and Osho had been fed from JK. 

[greenearthnazi20204u]

@tchiritchou J.Krishnamurti. I UNDERSTAND HIS WORK AS WELL I DO UNDERSTAND JESUS AND Adyashanti WORK TOO. FREEDOM FROM SELF AND PERFECT AWARENESS OF ,LOVE AND PEACE. AND HOW TO AWAKE YOUR SELF . ETHER YOU SEE OR YOU ARE BIND THE MIND HAS MANY TRAPS TO KEEP A PERSON FROM SEEING THE TRUTH IT IS HIDDEN WELL IF YOU THINK YOU CAN SEE JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU CAN SEE HOW DOSE IT ALL LOOK WHO FED J.Krishnamurti. WAS JESUS OR GOD

[tchiritchou]

@greenearthnazi20204u ... Depends on what you mean by GOD. Is God a Concept? Feeling? Being? Universe? Love? All I know is God is within us, as well as Heaven and Hell.

And to be honest, I doubt that JK was fed by Jesus (Although Jesus was a great guy, who´s intencions were good, but ended up misunderstood by human greed and ignorance).

I personally say that LOVE IS THE ANSWER, and the answer is -again- within us. Peace my friend.

[greenearthnazi20204u]

@tchiritchou created a successful branch of the Theosophical Society in Germany. He focused on a Western esoteric path that incorporated the influences of Christianity and natural science, resulting in tensions with Annie Besant (cf, Jiddu Krishnamurti, was the incarnation of Maitreya (who was believed to have "over-shadowed" Jesus Christ). (Krishnamurti later repudiated this role and left the Society to pursue an independent career of spiritual teaching.) I

[greenearthnazi20204u]

@tchiritchou J Krishnamurti, i am sure he study the bible on the road to inlightmint you go down all paths of love and peace. and then you look at the cause confusion, suffering as i did. then GOD TALK TO ME. I THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY. GOD WAS TELLING ME THE FUTURE HOW THING WORKS FROM THE BIBLE TO FREE-ENERGY TRUST ME THE BIBLE WAS WRITTEN TO SET MAN FREE NOT TO MAKE SLAVE OR KILL IN THE NAME OF GOD . JESUS DIED BECAUSE HE EXPOSED CROUP-ION IN JEWS RELIGION HE KNEW THEY DID NOT KNOW GOD.

[tchiritchou]

@greenearthnazi20204u I understand what you mean my friend. But ... The whole point of JK is that One doesn´t need to b better or worst than anyone (Including J.Christ) , All we need is TO BE.

And in a world like ours, it´s really hard to find someone who refuses to be the new messiah, and totally reject the idea of being THE guide. Maybe Annie had some others intencions?? Who knows??

Peace

[greenearthnazi20204u]

@tchiritchou I understand what you mean my friend.IS What meant love and peace too you.understand J Krishnamurti quietened my mind then i read and understood the bible .understand the bible is hidden from the wise and fools too. people just don"t a t least any body i know when you see GOD PLAINLY AND HEAR GOD WHEN YOU BEEN THOUGHT BY GOD YOU KNOW LOVE AND PEACE IS WAY AND YOU KNOW NOT TO HATE OR JUDGE AND ALL TRAP, YOU ONLY HAVE TO LOOK AT THE MISTAKE HOLY MEN MADE IN PAST.

[JazzyKat2009]

@greenearthnazi20204u I don't believe Krisnamurti ever "studied" the bible. He says he did not rely on any authority. His enlightenment came from his own soul searching and he asks each one of us to 'go into it ourselves" find out for ourselves. No one can light you lamp, but you.

[greenearthnazi20204u]

Krisnamurti help me to see the true he truly help me with his teachings but he only points at the truth but just a very little off. i only understood the bible after his teachings . now i have no beliefs and i let everything be as they are and my mind gos quite . i look at what i know 100% .now what Krisnamurti and Adyashanti's dose not say, is something real can easy be turned in beliefs. all government ,laws, religions , prison and good or bad it is real and a belief .

[WeNeedA3rdParty]

This sounds like a bullshit story to me!

[tchiritchou]

@WeNeedA3rdParty lol

[ademafreak1]

Jesus was a good guy, Budda had his eyes open and god was made up on the way.

Be yourself, and enjoy xx

[notamountain]

Thank you, I feel so blessed to be a recipient of your teachings.

[ccloud13xsi]

peeling the onion.

At the core of all this stuff, we are Awareness.

[Nacluw]

He's a frkn rockstar!

[hnguyen0610]

magnificent!!

[bigcyhutch]

beautifully explained. thank you for reminding us.

[RachelEMacD]

this guy is really interesting. when you let go of what you really want, and focus on the truth, all that you need comes to you and opens to you. What love!

[ZenBarracuda]

The main character of the story I'm presently writing asks everyone what they most want in the world. At the end of the story the main character reveals what he most wants. What do you most want?

[chessdude67]

I find it easy to understand Eckhart, but I have a hard time with Adyashanti. Any advice? Does he have easier videos to start with?

Thank you.

[joinery11]

Hi chessdude, Ady is one of the best and simplest there is but you could look toward the likes of deepak chopra if you like however Deepak is even more complex and whilst he shares alot of views with Ady he bases alot of what he knows on religion which Ady is less inclined to do. I recommend Adyashantis books, well worth a read.

[chessdude67]

Thank you. I'll look into this.

Thank you for your advice and time.

peace.

[xurbancampx]

Eckhart was the first teacher I started listening to, and it only took a few minutes and I got a huge spiritual experience.

Couple years later I did not feel the same thing when listening to him, and prefer Adyashanti, Osho and others.

Thing is there are soooo many teachers, and you can easy get a sense of the truth from almost everyone, at least thats how it is for me.

[chessdude67]

I am feeling the need to read and listen to others, as I've read and listened to everything Eckhart has put out to the pubic SO many times. I will start with Adyashanti.

I agree with you, and I will open up to other teachers.

Thank you.

[wongzoie]

Hi chessdude67

I like both Eckhart & Adyashanti's teachings!

My advice is just go back watch/listen to Ady. from time to time..a word or two might just enough to get you going!

I get different things everytime I listen to him. He's really a good teacher... pointing the path!!

[chessdude67]

Thank you for taking the time to reply to me. I just joined this channels after having wrongzoie and joinery11. I thank you both. I will go back and start listening to Ady.

I've read everything, and listened to many dvd's by Eckhart, and need a change. Thank you both again.

[dwernknad]

It's been a while since you've written, but have you found any teachers who you can relate to? Just from searching youtube, I've found Barry Long, Eckhart Tolle, and Leonard Jacobson to be helpful. You could also check out some Buddhist teachers like Chogyam Trungpa, Pema Chodron, and Suzuki Roshi. They are all great and very awake.. haha. Take care.

[chessdude67]

Thank you for replying. Eckhart is still my number one person. I bought an older DVD from 2001 and love it.

I will check out these other teachers. Thank you again!

Tim

[mawel1955]

@chessdude67 I find both easy to understand. In fact after listening to them, I find I can more truly understand Krishnamurti who is sometimes hard to follow. Their teachings are inspired by K, no doubt. Krishnamurti was truly an amazing man. Although at times, I feel that he needed to go into things "more".

[Empre55]

I'm subscribin'.

[marilyndating09]

me too, i want my freedom, teacher says listen to yourself, truth, your sub consciouness. people like to enforce themselves, to stop the freedom. freedom is most important thing to me.

[absoniter]

All I want is to be free whatever that means to me ♥ ♥ ♥

[namrengav]

All I want to do is love You God!

[FrankCarsonBoyd]

Then what remains is too look at where the edge of your love shows up and realize that what lies just beyond that, is God. That's my work as well.

[nicholaspowiull]

It's about enjoying this life while we have it. Life is a dance.

[deliciousonionsoup]

Am I still blocked? And if so then why?

[debwatch]

thank you, i'm getting out the broom!

[spectrumfrequency]

yes yes and yes

[UniqueExposures]

I totaly agree with what he is saying. For me I have just now started to understand much of it.

[Wulfgar12]

lol you here too! lol

[ASAFYY]

he got to a point that he is connecting to his soul and not to the ego.

[awakening98]

The first time I heard Adya I was sitting in the dirt in a parking lot. I heard his voice and I do not remember the words. I just felt my soul reach out to that which was pure and whole. I am inspired and delight in how he is. I now long for my own awakening in all forms. I am at peace with his presence.

[Wulfgar12]

Its like we dont have to live anymore,

cause now we are at peace..

[awakening98]

That is not what I said. I said I felt at peace. If momentary peace is all there is I guess. But as my journey of my life progresses.I enjoy those moments of the sweet peace I have in his presence. I love the journey and it has it's ups and downs.I am wanting to create peace in the downs too.

[Wulfgar12]

Cool ..

In my perspective you stop living as well as in

you dont stop wanting things but stop needing things..

so you dont really need those "things" that you see as "your" life.

as for me Ive stopped, or am trying to need things, and even stop trying too hard to achieve things, because if others would want my "happyness" more than me, they should have it.

[dustofsoul]

so here they come again - the typical christian crusaders. preaching love and cursing others. what sense it makes if you call for jesus? he himself once said: there will be people praying to me, using my name, but they´re not my desciples. so find first enlightment and inner peace and then don´t judge...it´s up to the one we call "god"...

[newenglandtom]

dust,

Jesus also said in the last days there would be false teachers... adyashanti is one of them.

you have an carnal view of judgment.

[newenglandtom]

blah blah blah,

here they are again whiners that want christians to sit in a pew in a darkend cathedral and be still and quiet and not make noise for the new agers... sorry dusty as a watchman on the wall its up to some to sound an alarm. love is the reason for doing it, i know you dont understand.

tolle is a deceiver. the spirit that influences his life is not of God.

thanks for the instructions on life, i will stick to teh bible.

[Darpinion]

@dustofsoul I wish I could vote this up 10,000 times.

[greenearthnazi20204u]

@dustofsoul enlightened ONE IF YOU ONLY KNEW it not a Christian thing. it is real enlightment thing , what is is realty. judging is something to judge. yourself by and others by too make you feel better about yourself . to make you feel secure . most of time judgement is hate .true peace come from love and forgiveness.

[JERPATLACLEL]

So called Christians like NEWENGLANDTOM are doing Jesus a disservice, their babble is often diametrically opposed to the gospel. They're crippled with fear and their words are laden with hatred, they, if anyone, are the antichrist.

[newenglandtom]

the next time you post you need to make it more exciting, and intelligent. your over the top judgment is ok, but oh well... just work on it.

[Wulfgar12]

Ultimate fear.

hearing all words as "oh yes he just is wrong because he is against me"

[Wulfgar12]

but its not wrong.. :) heh, its ok to be scared of others..

if they are "enlightened" they wont hurt you..

peace

[strands333]

I'm Catholic, and there's nothing wrong with listening to other viewpoints. So shut up.

[newenglandtom]

your catholic and you worship mary, and your pope is a false prophet....

[strands333]

You mean "you're", genius? Fuck you.

[richardschooping]

We may find truth is in a tree, the ocean, or vibrations out of another.

There is only one resonating string.

We are watching the video so it is perfect in this moment because this is what we are doing. It is not truth as he stated, no thing is. I resonate hence I am watching. Let the ego go.  Read this conversation and see the ego trying to maintain in this expanded conversation, subtle, yet apparent. Here is a powerful reflection to observe which is just as vital as the video.

[fadinglogic]

Don't forget about the paradoxof it all.

[buffedtrainer]

ask yourself this: WHY is it that I want to "manifest" what I want? ..Because that is why we came forth into these physical bodies...when we go with the flow, we feel the ease, when we don't, we feel the dis-ease.

anyone telling you that this is not about thoughts, has a deep mis-understanding of who and why we are here.If you weren't here to "manifest", you would have stayed in the non-physical!

[CultofCthulhu]

If someone were actually awakened to the reality of Consciousness being the base-line of who you are wouldn't this business about 'this teacher' vs. 'that teacher' or 'this ideology' vs. 'that ideology' be irrelevant if not down right silly?

[sloanwatson]

That is the whole point. The teachers goal is to guide the pupil to awakening so that there is the realization that ideolgy is irrelevant to reality and there is no need for a teacher for an awakened consciousness. You are close!

[swazij]

absolutely. non-duality is actually the basis of pretty much every religion or ideology, so in essence they all teach the same thing. that is why it is important not to discriminate.

[tchiritchou]

@CultofCthulhu Indeed... And what´s bothering me more, is that every time I click some vids on Youtube, appears someone saying: "Hey .. listen to me.. I´m enlighten" .. And peeps just follow like sheeps, instead of anderstanding themselves and reading their own book (Inner Self Book), they praise any What´s so Called Guru ... Human Being is so lazy to find his own way, so weak, so he turns and looking for the next thing in the corner. Peace

[deedoyday]

@CultofCthulhu yes, he even says that in a lot of his "teachings".

[sugus80]

$What you love in him is the divine

[sheilaskk]

I LOVE HIM

[thepowerofnow]

i didnt like too much the guy but indeed the moste important thing is to know who you are. Everything elese its dust in the wind.

[buffedtrainer]

Who you are is an extension of Source Energy (GOD)...we are on the leading edge of thought, to take thought beyond that which it has ever been before.We are Eternal Beings, Which means, theres alot more before us, than there is behind us. What you think, and how you feel and what manifests in your life, is always a perfect match!

[swazij]

this is not about thought! thoughts are transitory, as is what you "manifest" in your life. consciousness is the only stable thing. the problem with this manifesting fad is that people are trying to believe that they can create what they want, but if there is no ego, then who is manifesting?? ask yourself this: WHY is it that I want to "manifest" what I want?

[chagzuki]

These people are really funny.

[chetanarjun]

What a bore...! no grace, no subtilities...i guess i will whatch Osho again and again! So refreshing! Or Eckart, Nisarg Maharaj...

[herenowall]

Check Adyashanti's other clips - you may change your mind.

[Fieldofaware]

@chetanarjun What a bore? ask yourself who is bored?

[Lanceshizzy]

thats your ego looking into the future, which does not exist.

[asmith20707]

Adyashanti is hardly a fraud. He speaks with a power and clarity of one who knows if you listen to all his clips on YouTube, much like Eckhart Tolle. What both try to convey is really no different.

[fnog9]

all of those "authentic" teachers have spoken against idolizing one teacher over another.

[swazij]

is it really all that important whether he has "understanding" or not? just like anyone who talks about this stuff, he doesn't call himself a teacher - he is only pointing to the truth. if that helps you self-realise, then hasn't he accomplished his task?

[FreeingYou]

I love listening to Tolle, Dyer, Adyashanti etc BUT I just hope one day they will start relating their views to practical western living.I think if they can just give examples of how we can free ourselves whilst carrying on in our modern way of life,then it will all come together. At the moment it seems that you have to shave your head, live in India for 7 years,take massive pauses between sentences and never mix with the public unless you are speaking to them on stage with an oversized mic.

[fnog9]

what do you mean by practical? Personally, I found the Power of Now to be extremely practical, which is exactly why I am finally able to understand Buddhism and other spiritual practices, which used to seem unapproachable. The ability to live in the Now is practical in itself, for love naturally shines through all action while realizing your true nature.

[swazij]

lol. they always look so spaced out as well! he looks like he's high on valium.

[artmanack]

Throw away your esoteric books and the so called masters. They are barriers to truth, any knowledge gained from them can at best be second hand. It's like having an itchy foot and scratching your shoe, you never get to the itch. Truth can only have value if it comes from understanding life through ones own immediate experience. No matter how reassuring these guys sound they are barriers to truth and get in the way of that vital need to know oneself through that immediate lived experience.

[merlyn126]

We do not know ourSelf through the immediately lived experience which is processed, interpreted and assimilated through a complex of filters, programming, assumptions, fears, desires and profoundly limited knowledge and understanding. You can not find the Truth, you can only BE TRUTH with no reference whatsoever to experience, impressions, data, knowledge, etc. etc. Time for a mind enema. HA HA

[artmanack]

if an experience is immediately lived the whole point is that it should not be processed, the experience just is. The point I make is that man does process,interpret and assimilate and therin lies the curse of human thought. On a practicle level this is sometimes important but when it comes to truth one has to discard this practice. You're repeating my words but in a different form. Any spelling mistakes here? I have a hunch though Mr wise man will know best!

[merlyn126]

well said artmanack human thought is a curse so to speak beyond thought beyond words beyond our bantering back and forth infinite peace infinite love infinite happiness truly that is all anyone is after (know it or not) it seems we are two it seems we are separate but alas we probably drink the same beer  i do my best to take nothing and I mean nothing too seriously and I simply WISH you peace the rest is up to you of course

[merlyn126]

i hope you can excuse my previous jabs and nonsense. I appreciate anyone who considers the deeper questions of our existence. My exhortation toward loving one's neighbor was simply to suggest that most of us get caught up in religious and spiritual dogmas, formulas and such. How much better we would all be to simply practice kindness, patience and wise compassion. As for Truth? I believe that to describe Truth is to misunderstand It. To live Truth is freedom.

[artmanack]

I think that we're pretty much on the same page. I really though seldom read esoteric books, I used to have a library full and read widely on many subjects. One day I cast the lot aside and set off on a journey of discovery based on my own understanding rather than those of another. I travel the world these days and I meet many minds and it's a joy to discuss together in a happy, non-confrontational way matters of life and death. Namaste!.

[jmeditation]

The clutter of the egoic trance clouds what is truelly important. Flow becomes easier. Life has a way of taking care of itself, w/o the impulse to; "I must get this."

[merlyn126]

OK Here it is! Ready??? For the TRUTH??!!! Are you sure you are ready? Because this is very serious stuff we are discussing HERE? Alright, if you really think you are ready . . . HERE IT IS . . . THE TRUTH : . . . GO AND LIVE HAPPILY!!!!!!!

[supralee]

it is simply actor!anyone can do that!

[merlyn126]

The Teacher's are great if your Heart is shining Bright. Now, go and love your neighbor as your Self.

[artmanack]

I only managed one paragraph of mumbo jumbo you managed 3, wow, you're far wiser than I sir, I bow to your esteemed wisdom. I think I will build an alter in your name and worship it for ever and create yet another religion! I love my neighbour, he's such a sweet guy so I must be doing something right, maybe I will creat another alter for him too!.

[supralee]

very good!best comment here!

[merlyn126]

Yes Yes YES Build an altar (not "alter" by the way) but build it to your glorious ego and as I said before . . . Go and live happily (oh and you can forget about loving your neighbor as yourself. Just love yourself, that's enough. HE HE HE

[artmanack]

tahnk yu for the spell cheque, you're just too kind! I don't though need you tell me how to live, I don't need, nor did I request your guidance and nor do I offer anybody else any. You're really quite full of yourself arn't you.

[merlyn126]

yes yes yes and oh did you at all realize that we are always talking about ourselves i.e. there is a very good chance it is your wonderful self that is so full of your wonderful self you most definitely don't need my guidance maybe you need no guidance at all but peace? I wish only that you find some peace, deep powerful beautiful unspeakable love and peace yum yum now go and live happily yippee!!!!!!

[artmanack]

peace, i will go and look that word up in my dictionary. You assume a great deal sir, do you know me?

[merlyn126]

of course I know you silly I am your Self!!!!

[artmanack]

you've been reading too much Krishnamurti, I hope the J and not the U.G!!

[merlyn126]

don't have much time for either actually. I am sure both mean well are enlightened etc. The Masters whom you say we should discard may have realized something we have forgotten i.e. the natural, fully-released, non-contracted, open, bright and yes, blissful state. What does any real Master say anyway but find your True Self,

[artmanack]

You are right to suggest the whole of life is within each of us. Why we look outside of ourselves, reach out to guru's and saints, the church and the masters in order to find enlightenment is beyond me. I think it's because there's so much fear in us. The journey within is challenging and there are no signposts to guide us along the way...

[merlyn126]

I have only read and heard UG a few times--why people "follow" him baffles me. I do believe there are those rare beings who are awake and free at such a level that they inspire and point a way beyond one's seemingless endless suffering. Have you ever read Nisargadatta Maharaj's I am That ? There are a few videos of him on you tube. Not a contemporary but unbelievably incisive and enlightening. Highly recommended.

[merlyn126]

As one true Master says "Look for everything within yourself. Everything is inside you. Learn how to become ecstatic inside yourself. The one you are looking for is you. The one you want to attain is you." My words? YouTube waste product. But it is just a little bit fun throwing crap on the wall.

[artmanack]

now, at last, you're talking at a level where I can take the journey with you. You're right to suggest the importance of humour in all this, it's so important to laugh. My concern with the idea of a master is that his ego is such that he sucks people in, that they in turn become slavish to his every word. U.G Krishnamurti was a thoroughly vile ego maniac, his use of language is base to say the least..really quite cruel and sad.

[merlyn126]

Here is a random quote from I am That : "Contemplate life as infinite, undivided, ever preent, ever active until you realize yourself as one with it. It is not even very difficult, for you will be returning to your own natural condition. Once you realize that all comes from within, that the world in which you live has not been projected onto you but by you, your fear comes to an end."This book is the clearest discussion of these principles I know of you may appreciate it.

[tktoadE]

My directions weren't as good as I thought they were. The description box for THIS video is to the immediate right of the video that is playing. It has the "date added", "subscribe to", and then below that is the "(more)" button. Much love.

[tktoadE]

Do you want to hear lots more Adyashanti for free? Click the "(more)" button in the description section in the right-top hand corner of this page and you will see different links in blue. I personally enjoy the cd's that I have made from downloading these audio samples. Enjoy...

[Amirmourad]

Those impressions are very much like "files". Those which Mind are conditioned to find prefereable attractive are taken and moved to bottom of the pile, often times forgetting their presence there, and for the more "attractive" files to be shuffled to the surface. This is the tendency of the Ego.

[Amirmourad]

The Mind gathers and interprets impression from the External. Now, what is meant by the Ego is the tendency of Mind to have preference for certain impressions and hence a greater tendency to consider such as more attractive.

[Amirmourad]

That is incorrect. The reason for this is because with the heightened silencing of the ego faculty, what happens is that one puts Mind in the position where Mind has no reference point which may serve the purpose and potential energy of making Mind vulnerable.

[ik022]

A little comment for those who post crap like "another spiritual teacher, makes me puke", or something...

You need to make the difference between the crooks, the charlatans, and the true ones. And that's really simple : anyone who says that you don't need anything, just the will to let go and to be open minded (keeping it simple here) - he doesn't ask for anything, there's a chance that he's truthful.

[effeks]

this man make me puke as another piece of speaking crap spiritual teacher

[riciard55]

Good stuff thought provoking

the only problem he denies himself by speaking as he speaks he is creating an I da da da da da da

He is wound up in an illusion of self da da da da da

Probably there is a little packet of coins lurking in the background da da da da da

[lomps]

maybe it's a question of willingness & relinquishment, and only when you can trust fully will the doors that need to be opened be opened. takes courage though....

[jimmyp37]

without an ego wouldn't we be crushed though by day to day life? But I do agree with his idea of ego trance... so easy to get caught up in the doing of life.

[vandgrus]

wouldn't what be crushed?

[teamlinx]

by ego he means the false sense of self we identify ourselves with. if you can let that go you may find your true self never dies. (that's how i interpreted it)
