Adyashanti's story is very inspiring because of what he was able to achieve by the age of 32. Awakening seems to be a far off and distant thing, and delusion so powerful, that if you are on the spiritual path disillusionment and apathy can set in. He has directly stated that we should take seriously the possibility of awakening for ourselves, in this very life. It is not only for far off people on mountaintops. We can experience profound freedom and peace. It's an important message.
@Simon0 No, you can't - although it's a paradox, you also must give up hope, because it is another concept holding you back, So you have to continually strive for awakening without hoping for it in your mind. It's tough to do. Right now after a great deal of effort and practice I am feeling quite disillusioned about ever feeling even somewhat free, but I still work at it, because what else is there to do?
@Simon0 who is speaking here? as long as you are in egoic consciousness you will suffer... it is in its very nature. it must suffer at times to reinforce its sense of self. Suffering will only end, when there is no one there to suffer - you see the difference? ;)
@BarryCroucher our attachments in life come from memories. memories which give us pain are sad memories, those which give us happiness are good memories. But if there is No memory, ( even for 1 millisecond) there is nothing good or bad to hold on to. What remains is presence or silence. In this state if you move your attention to this feeling of presence, you realize, this feeling is not coming from inside the body , its everywhere.
Adya is one of a handful of accessible teachers who seem authentically awake. So many teachers seem genuine, but less awake or clear. And some seem really confused.
yes what Adyashanti said is wild. why i think it is true . i was told how to fix ever thing on earth and how everything thing works . just about everything anyway . l am here to tell you can easy be fix . this one of big problems Cognitive Dissonance Theory argues that the experience of dissonance (or incompatible beliefs and actions) is aversive and people are highly motivated to avoid it. In their efforts to avoid feelings of dissonance, people will avoid hearing views that oppose their own
i was thankful for his silence years ago after watching a few youtube clips of him, but have never heard him open up so much about his story. what an elaborate path, & how lucidly explained, & how interesting that there's so much more to do after enlightenment.
also, what a wonderful way to heal traumas from past lives! i might try to do that consciously in a meditative trance, even though for him it seems to just have unfolded naturally in the emptiness.
The clarity in his explanations...is divine. I have been able to validate my own process (tearfully relieved). My Undying Gratitude for You!! Thank-you!!!
i must be enlightened already cause i am pretty good at doing nothing.
