I'm thinking about learning from Adyashanti and buying "falling into grace". But I just wana know if being "enlightened" is truly better than anything else. cheers
@himynameisbede It's like when you're in the corner of a dark room and you think the piece of rope on the other side is a snake. It's a real thought. Your body might shake with fear. But it's just illusion. Only you can't see it at the moment. If you're afraid, then be afraid. It won't kill you. It's just fear. Just nerves being stimulated in your body. Doesn't mean there is an actual reality behind it. So just feel it and it will pass. And then you realise the nothing is infact EVERYTHING!!!
@himynameisbede Ego is scared because it is close to dying. Ego is memory, who you think you are is memory, you reading and understanding this post is memory, that which will reply is memory. Memory is dead energy. But you have believed it to be who you are. When you stop using Memory, the concept of you will vanish. And life will be shown in its beautiful original nature. Dont be afraid to let go of memory and ego death, You can always go back to it or revive it. its only memory. Trust me Peace
Serious question: Y r people who are "enlightened" kinda look stoned? Like; they're eyes are always tired looking and they speak with a kind of lazy monotone? Would u say they look healthy? I don't want to offend anyone, I jst want to know if ther is a reason for this? Being enlightend means your happy doesn't it? At times when iv been at my happiest, I would have a massive smile on an "alive" looking face. Enlightened people don't look like that, but they are supposed 2 b happy? some1 plz reply
@himynameisbede you ask why enlightened people look stoned and lazy. Have a look at a dog or a cat.. most of the day they will look stoned and lazy.. this is natural, alot of people who "appear" to be lively are mustering up endless amounts of energy to put on a show. i'm sure you can relate also. Peace to you and all around you
@himynameisbede your judging judging judging brah... does it matter what people look like? I am sure they wouldn't want to be enlightened if it meant they would be sad lol
i have looked in to face of chaos and seen the chaos and it is beliefs system like governments, religion,good or or bad ,laws and prison. love will show you the truth and the truth will set you free from beliefs.
I can relate only too well to his words. I had a terrifying drug experience five years ago and nothing has been the same since. I saw the illusion of a separate self and it was totally overwhelming. I have had many experiences of sheer terror and panic since and almost constant anxiety and depression. Thankfully with the help of powerful healers and a disciplined meditation and yoga regime I am in the process of freeing myself from the terror, although I do not know what the future holds.
@squamish4244 im aware of the feeling of non-self and consciousness of who we truely are but what do you mean by experiences of sheer terror and panic...just interested in what causes it and where you were etc thanks
@ncripzx Speaking from my own experience, when you start to gain insight into how the self is a mental construct, you have not made contact with your primordial being yet and can begin to feel like you're dying or dissolving, or may lose control of everything at any moment. In my own case I also became hypersensitive to my own and others' limitations and weaknesses. These experiences cause explosions of panic, where the mind literally goes crazy with terror and I feel that life is unbearable.
@ncripzx Certain thoughts became prime triggers for these experiences, such as of Nazi death camps or other instances of human cruelty and degradation, or hospital scenes, or images of torture or tragic death. Such triggers would also bubble up frequently in meditation. They have become less frequent and less severe. In addition, being suddenly introduced to the reality of no-self through a terrifying drug trip was like throwing myself into the deep end of the pool before I knew how to swim.
@squamish4244 I've been in that limbo rut for some time and it just seems to get deeper. Can't relate to much of anything or anyone, and like you mentioned a feeling that everything you were used to as being "you" just keeps dissolving. There's a certain amount of trust in wherever this is going, but also so much resistance. I wish you well...and all others feeling a little in the dark.
@valzer84 you see the shallowness of the current condition. You want to stop, you want to go home, yet part of you doesn't mind staying either. what confuses you is.. your body wants one.. but your mind wants another. It's time to care for your body, the mind will destroy the body.. (the mind's host) so in that sense its like a cancer that destroys itself and its host. Mind is only memory, you are mind, you are memory, you are ego, ego is you, ego is memory. stop bringing past back to life :)

I can definately relate to what this guy is saying. The same thing happened to me. It felt like I was about to die but did not. I have not been the same since. It feels like hell on earth and downright terrifying. I can no longer cope.
This is what happened to me, as someone said its like you disappear, its just emptiness, like i had no body, no mind, no emotions, yet i was still there. it wasn't frightening while it was happening to me but after the ego came back in, I was almost shaking with fear!!
When adyashanti talks about us inventing a world of distractions a squirrel runs across the fence in the back ground to hammer home his point of distractions being everywhere. (2.45)
Losing Identity ... when this happen, part of your mine start imagine that you are going mad, or you are going to start walking on walls. But this is really start of real freedom. I´m 24 years old and i´m living today in peace ...
@Atmaniceland 19 here and getting these weird feelings of non-self... of infinite being... feels like pure and utter freedom... then i struggle to get back there even tho i realise its only an instant away! grr lol
The way he described the fear of realizing that you are really not who you thought you were was exactly how it happened to me. It came as a shock and I was far from prepared for it and it took a while to go through it but the change within was enormous. To really know yourself is a blessing and Im happy everyday that I made myself realize it.
Last year I met this terrible fear. It was like I disapeared. There was no me, nothing to hang on to. I was terrified. I became depressed for a while. But "I" got over it. You have to experience the fear to get rid of that also. After that there is nothing standing in the way between illusory self and nothingness.. or.. your true beingness. I now see that I really didnt exist. There was no real identity, It was imagination. Now there is nothingness, conciousness, whatever you want to call it.
I have had lucid dreams and experiences through meditative states of mind in where I experienced the depths of what psychologists call the unconcious and you call Adyashanti... but I am always pulled back by the fear of losing my ego, which like you say at the time feels like dying, and its really a bummer, it seems like my ego gets stronger by rationalizing existence, like we're stuck in a landslide. Satisfaction is so temporary.
I have achived it now. It is terrible and like an exorcism of the soul but when you realise you don't have to be anyone you become a vessle for many different ideas and thoughts to flow through. This is important as you get to gain knowlage from sampleing many things but not become overwhelmed or bias by holding on to them. Learn to let go :)
me too! I just came across and I am so Grateful I did because I am experiencing this fear we are talking about. It feels very lonely when this is happening and I see my mind constantly wishing things where like they used to be in lala land, but then again its perfect that this is happening because I do want to live in that solid unmovable peace where I know my true and authentic self. Anything anyone would like to share with me I welcome!
@asm1201 Do you see a way out of it? I do not want to go back either but I've put in a huge amount of work and seem to be stuck in a rut. It used to be terror now it's just depression and feeling blech. So many of the answers on here sound like cliched *I'm at peace with the universe* crap when really the people haven't experienced anything at all. I agree it is very lonely and my family can't possibly understand, they love me but treat me like a kid who talks nonsense and won't grow up.
this is the thing i am facing at the moment, the fear of my loss of identity. I have seen into the void and it is terrifying. I felt my own physical body disappear and it felt like i had died. But through Adya i have come to understand that the only way to go deeper is to hold this fear in my body and feel it resting there, then to let it be. Confronting and accepting the fear is really the only way through the gateway. fear of death is nothing compared to the ego's fear of losing control.
There is no one who can reach awakening because Illusory self can not follow there. It will be left behind. And then when "you" watch that which you thought was you, you realize that there was no real identity there and the one watching this illusory identity is no one. It's like a death. A death of illusory self. What is left is Nothingness. If you feel a fear of this, then that is good. Because you have to experience the fear to get rid of it. This fear is a curtain blocking your true self.
That alone should satisfy your hunger for freedom from anger and "blaming others"
because everything others do is because of themselves. If a killer kills. its because of him not his abusive father. Sure his father helped him become a killer. But he only helped him. He did not do it for him.
And every Anger you feel against this killer is coming from you
thanks for the replies, i dont know how to respond to that! But thanks anyhow. I mean i tend to go from things i have read. So there is what you say, but then there is the idea that you need to meditate for years in a cave in order to be enligtheneed. These two seem to be in direct opposition! Thats why it is a bit confusing.
I.e. one way is kind of "you are already enlightened you dont ned to do anything", but then another path which says you need to work very hard to beomc enlightened.
I think it is different for everyone. Some never do meditation, some meditate strictly for hours everyday, and then some do a little of both to reach it. I would say, just go your own way. Everyones path is unique anyway. If you want to try and meditate strictly, then try it. You want to try to do nothing?.. then do that. Follow that which you are naturally drawn to. Determination is very important. . And then again, Im noone special, just an ordinary guy. Like anyone here.
remmember a memmory,ok,say you were 15 25 whatever,you remmember it now,and who you are now,is how you remmember being then,so,you never really were a child.You know everything before you get here,but you forget.
Also,I'm letting me go,but at the same time I'm being the only me,the one.good...?
so ego is an illusion. So there is another state of midn when you are actually seeing what is real. In this state what is it that you see? I am just questioning becvause i think i realise, the way everyone looks at the world is all illusory. but there must be some true way to look at the world.

And presence is just Noticing everything
you feel. Its not hard really
but , for me, there is a avoidance away from this truth inside me guided by mind
And facing truth takes determination to go against "the stream with the sammon" up to the light Not backing down no matter what comes against you.
Its not hard.
Its just normal to be away from truth
because thats how we create stuff
we create from truth
away from truth to experience it as a Separate being from truth
