In this inspiring satsang, Adyashanti discusses his first visit to a prison— San Quentin—where he meets with men sentenced for life. Their remarkable stories of finding peace and happiness within are compelling examples of what happens when the ego lets go of hope for a better future. "When you look inside with utmost simplicity and sincerity, what you find is the light of being." 90 min. DVD recorded on June 28, 2006. http://www.adyashanti.org
"If you filter my words through any tradition or '-ism', you will miss altogether what I am saying. THE LIBERATING TRUTH IS NOT STATIC; IT IS ALIVE. It cannot be put into concepts and be understood by the mind. The truth lies beyond all forms of conceptual fundamentalism. What you are is the beyond—awake and present, here and now already. I am simply helping you to realize that." -- Adyashanti
@INPERICULIS The world is 99.9999999% nothing. Does it really surprise you that he said nothing?

@INPERICULIS if u were looking for those things, you're not gonna find them listening to adya...he has nothing to do with philosophy

He spoke for 10 minutes and said practically nothing. Really? Buy some of the greatist works of existentialism and philosphy and be truly served.
This man from what i've seen is serioulsy overvalued.

It is Maya - it isn't real. Whether you are stuck in a prison, an unfulfilled celebrity lifestyle, or a hole in the ground in iraq with a pack of fun sized snickers bars (Sammad Hussein) it's all illusion. So perhaps you can pierce through that illusion in spite of terrible circumstances. Maybe it's even the case that a person will pierce through the illusion becase of the terrible circumstances.

@Wulfgar12 ...All you have is "now", how you live it it`s up to everyman, if itappreciate or not. “When you don`t eat, even basic food…it is starving.
When you don`t appreciate…it is (deep) suffering.
Both: weakness and powerless .
Appreciate the simple/basic things mostly, and allways…for energy to work with, for love.”

@answersquestioned ...maybe there`s not wrong with being a slave to your own ego, and not live your life. only keeping the ego get greater and consume you. maybe, indeed. :)

i hear again and again about people being in an isolated environment in the time of awakening. for myself.. yes that has been so as well.. and continues to degrees. i look for this state in others when they come to discuss this phenomenon. 11.07.11

The sign on the screen should have been: "With unified consciousness, all things possible"
