Beyond the Personal Will / Adyashanti

"Adyashanti strikes home for many as he discusses what happens when the motivating force of personal will starts to erode. "Realization of 'no self ' is one thing; having personal will wither away into nothing is another." It is only in the ebbing of this will that we come to know what the spiritual journey is about: the flowering of truth. 90 minute DVD recorded on September 6, 2006" http://www.adyashanti.org

http://www.peterspearls.com.au/adyainoz.htm (At the bottom of page there are 4 more audio samples of satsangs and interviews with Adyashanti not found anywhere else on the web)

Adyashanti's nondual teachings have been compared to those of the early Zen masters and Advaita Vedanta sages. Expressing both the infinite possibilities and the ordinary simplicity of a spiritually realized life, Adyashanti's teachings are directed to those who are sincerely called to awaken to their true nature and embody this life-changing realization.

This is EXACTLY what I have been experiencing the past couple days, spritually speaking. Awakening does NOT vanquish the personal will. Seeing through God's eyes and maintaining your relationship with God CONSTANTLY is not a common experience! I was doin' great there for awhile! Thank you, Adya, for bringing me back once again and every time. Your words caused me to self-realize. You are my Papa. I love you.

Eckhart Tolle referred to this stage as the No Man's Land. So much doubt. How do I know I am not depressed? Thre is energy if I want to. Just no passions, tired of struggling..

Thank you, so much, Adyashanti, for walking beside me as I experience new things. Passion gone. Miracles happening. No grand plan in mind. May you always walk in the light.

@iTzSHAKiKi once you're content with yourself and you see the world as a part of yourself rather than separate, you should be able to find much joy out of helping others and getting involved in helping to solve the worlds problems.

Hello, iTzSHAKiKi :) I'm so glad you asked this question! You've spoken my mind...I hope you receive the answer, or may be not... which would be an answer in it self...lol! Best wishes to you :)

Very interesing suggestion "paromita87" I too just start discovering "Mooji" myself and on the subject of "Personal will" I was quite astounded when he said that we cannot influence the outcome or wishes like it was portraited in "The Secret" or in positive thinking.

I wish this talk by Adyashanti would go a bit further or may be this it....?

[iTzSHAKiKi]

i am so happy/relieved to see this video. I have been thinking of enlightenment/waking up for a while now and have had some glimpses. now i don't care about any of the things i used to care about. All my passions, my beliefs, and even my personal pain from a falling out with my best friend.. it all doesn't matter anymore.. i thought something was wrong with me! so now apparently it's natural. but now what do i do? how do you live life when you don't care about anything except waking up??!

i hadnt heard of mooji, anyway thanks i will look him up!
