================
In this talk, Adyashanti looks at what is necessary in order to undertake the journey of awakening and uncover our always and ready true nature.
Show Notes
Being Here Now (Opening) - The most direct way to begin the journey of awakening in earnest is to get our orientation straight. Adyashanti looks at the importance of grounding our attention towards what is happening in the here and now - not the future and what might be.
“There are these two fundamental existential issues of life - how am I and how do I live? As far as the first one, it is so important to be oriented into the always and already, not oriented towards what may happen or come in at some point in time later. You know this, when you are sort of waiting and hoping to have one of these big experiences that you have heard about; when you are doing that you are literally pushing away reality. You are pushing away your conscious acknowledgment of your own true nature.” - Adyashanti
The Experience of Being (10:20) - How does our attachment to experience keep us from accessing our higher potential? We look at the way in which contemplative practice opens us to an undistracted experience of being.
“When you get out of the conceptual realm of spiritual fantasy and theology, spirituality is the deep exploration of the direct experience of being. It is not an attempt to escape the direct experience of being, which is often what is happening.” - Adyashanti
The Always and Already (30:35) - Adyashanti explores the nature of our paradoxical and ever-present awareness. Can we loosen our unconscious grip on identity without losing our identity completely?
“Always and already means even when I feel that I have lost something - I haven’t. I can only lose a particular experience, I can’t lose that clear and empty conscious space in which those experiences come and go. For the ego that is a tough thing to swallow, because the ego is completely addicted to experience.” - Adyashanti
Life Experiencing Itself (57:15) - We close with a reflection on what exists beyond the ego and attachment to identity. Adyashanti shares his perspective on how we can relate to this new way of interacting with the world.

Keep coming back to this in the middle of the night to remind myself I'm complete and content, here and now, without the need for anything to happen.
Waw. This is a great one.
Best talk I’ve ever heard and yet, the indication that there’s a me doing anything is still duality. There is no me doing anything, it’s all happening of itself. I can’t find me because there isn’t one. All the spiritual searching is still reality being reality. All the resistance, letting go, holding on, the whole lot of it is reality init? Seeing it as otherwise is duality.

Exprience is always changing but theres something that always stays. The “exprience” of being aware

It’s a mind question and depends how you define experience but pretty much 95% of the time in between thoughts there is no mind experiencing reality but there is still a body taht is experiencing, as well as a ‘soul’ and as well as everything else within existence. The best answer to your question is to give up those types of questions, moreso the psychological patterns asking them

𝑰 𝑨𝑴...even in deep sleep. Does your body / mind still experience even in deep sleep when dreaming? I’ve woken from both pleasant and unpleasant dreams with my body having seemingly experienced everything in the dream state yes? When I open my eyes there is that which was / is aware of the dreaming. The body and mind effected, heavily sometimes, by the dream and the awareness of it. Is that what you meant?
Adyashanti and others like him are outliers. Not out and out liars but exceptions. Like an athlete that can run 100 meters under 10 seconds or some genius that can hear a Beethoven Sonata and play it back with out sheet music. As much as I d like to my Ego will never let me find this rarefied state.

the fact that you are listening this might indicate that some part of you knows that this can be your 100 meters race. good luck

Use people like him as examples of what is possible rather than as a benchmark you will never reacg
