Adyashanti - What Is Life Calling Forth in You?
adyashanti.org - What is the moment calling forth in you? What kind of response is life calling forth in you? Adyashanti explores the interplay between finding an inner resource of peace within and expecting the world to conform to your ideas of peace. By becoming the manifestation of whatever change you want to see in the world, you are redefining your expectations of the world, taking responsibility for your own life, and engaging with your spirituality in a truly deep and profound way. Adyashanti invites you into the space where this vital question can be a living inquiry in your day-to-day practice.
Video Excerpted From “Being an Expression of Peace” (ID #245):

Quotes from this Video:
“We are all most powerful and most benevolent when we are actually being whatever we want to see in the world. This is our first responsibility-to be what we want the world to become, or be the way that we would like human beings to be, interact, and engage with each other.”
“If you haven’t found the inner resource of clarity or peace or love or whatever you want to see in the world, then you’ll feel more on edge. Because you won’t be coming from being the change you want to see in the world. You’ll want the world to change so that you can be at peace, so that you can feel safe, secure, and loving.”
“In many respects, finding the right question is more important than an answer. If we think of answers in the sense of something that we are going to receive, that has some sort of final stamp of authority, that we can hold onto for the rest of our lives-that’s to misunderstand something very important about life, which is that life is a movement.”
“We human beings have the tendency to want to hold onto almost everything. If we get a revelatory experience, we tend to want to hold onto that and concretize it into a new system of thought or description of explanation. And as we are doing that, the flow of our lives is continuing on, and the next moment may call for a slightly different response.”
“To really be present for what life is calling forth in each of us is extremely important. Most people that are engaged in one form of spirituality or another, at least at a deep or inner level, part of what they’re valuing is peace, love, and clarity-and often there is a desire to see life as more whole or complete, and to experience your whole being in a clear and more complete way.”
“If we are engaged in a spiritual orientation, that comes with a kind of responsibility. The responsibility is: to be able to find within ourselves what we want to find or would desire to find in the world around us. Because if we can’t find it in ourselves, then we don’t have a whole lot of right demanding that the world conform to the way we want it to be.”
“Part of spirituality is taking that responsibility so that you become the manifestation of whatever change you want to see-you become it in your attitude, in the way you feel, in the way you move in the world, in the actions that you decide to take. This is really the heart of the spiritual life.”
“It’s so important that our spiritual life doesn’t become overly self-centered. It’s one of the dangers of a lot of inner work-that we can become so involved with our self that we are not really breathing out, we’re not engaged with our own lives and with our own existence, in a way that’s really fulfilling.”
“Our lives are the greatest gift we are ever going to give to the world.”

I love how Adya will bring up the Election from time to time. If you can't apply these concepts to our everyday wacky world of Politics and fierce dual opposition going on, then you're completely missing it. Adyashanti is a very authentic teacher.
“If you haven’t really done your work, if you haven’t found the inner resource of clarity or peace or love or whatever you want to see in the world, then you’ll feel more on edge, because you won’t be coming from a place of being the change that you want to see in the world. You’ll be coming from an attitude of wanting the world to change, so that you can be at peace. Of wanting the world to change, so you can feel safe and secure and loving. But I think if we’re engaged in a deep, spiritual orientation, that comes with a kind of responsibility. And the responsibility is to be able to find within ourselves want we want to find or would desire to find in the world around us. Part of spirituality is taking that responsibility so that you become the manifestation of whatever change that you want to see. You become it in your attitude, in the way you feel, in the way you move in the world, in the actions that you decide to take. To me this is really the heart of the spiritual life.” - Adyashanti
Everything is rising and falling, ascending and descending, coming in and going out, living and dying, life is calling forth life. Everything is one thing that is constantly changing form. Form is the illusion the essence is the reality.
As it is within, so it is without. Love and Peace.
Thank you so much Adyashanti! I am grateful for you and for being able to listen to and open up to your beautiful, beautiful teachings! Thank you thank you thank you!
Ah yes, this is like arriving at an oasis after slogging through the desert. Thank you, Adya, for being there--first for yourself, then for the gift of yourself to the rest of us. I got so lost in the turmoil of the political scene throughout 2017, I forgot myself and wondered why I felt so torn apart. I've had to pull back from all of that to find that inner peace within myself once more. To just be open once more to the possibility there is something, even within me, that is the answer. Something within me supported the decision to pull back. To just stop, To be still. To breathe. To come home to what I know is where I need to start from. Thank you, Adya. And blessings.
Love it, deep, resonant, useful, and applicable - thank you!
Be what the world is trying to become. ❤️ that.
I'm glad I found you!!! Deep insight and message! Yes be the change YOU want to see in the world. Starts with us individually 💓
Thank you for such timely dialogue. I appreciate that you’re really trying and dedicated to describe a difficult topic. I needed to hear this, my hunger so strong.
So gratefull to be able to listen to you ❤
Still listening...still learning...Thank you ,Adya, for the gentle clarity of your message...
Thank you!
"Be the change you want to see in the world." Being as the opposite of becoming. I love Roger Castillo's benchmark: "Happiness through peace of mind, in daily living, independent of circumstances." What do I really want? Ego can be busy with spirituality for decades, always escaping its exposure.

Adya, this statement is almost the same as i sometimes feel along as i go. i'm saying this because it's sort of an answer to that incentive. i'll try to put it in words. this right now is the summit of life: this right here is reason i am, to listen to this video, to type in these letters, to honor the entire creation, cycles and cycles of it... with presence. this is where all stops. here in this moment is the beginig and the end. everything jammed into this... time being a continous unfolding... so, *what is life calling forth in you: to be present in the only point where everything is.* i know it sounds fatalistic and dramatic and almost nuts but in reality it's not at all... it's real easy and simple - only this

Yep, "Be the change you want to see in the world". No system alone can be a savior because people create systems, shape them, corrupt them. The work HAS to happen with people, from within, then everything else will fall into place. (Related to: "It is far easier to fight for principles than to live up to them.") From my experience people know the BS they're practicing, but fuel it with an imagined inner justification, which further drives them into vicious denial of that. The philosophy side of Eastern martial arts is tremendously important as a cultural good. Strength/quality of character - you will probably not find that taught in school classes. Not only, but in part because you'd need qualified teachers first. And they might even exist, but who is to decide on qualification? Here the system is guarded against change from the top, mostly. Hypocrisy is rampant where people refuse to make an effort to better themselves. Like so often, change probably needs to come as a grassroots movement first, through 'regular joes' supporting each other in that difficult endeavor. As for me, as might be noticeable, I've made such an effort in the face of adversity that perceiving the contrast is almost unbearable. I've been fooled by convenient people, tricked into believing I was the bad person and needed to work on myself. Eventually I learned that that was projection practiced by the mentally lazy. Now I often wish I could just adapt a little so I can take a deep breath and not feel like surrounded by antibodies. But I cannot manage to adapt to misery and selfishness, to eat-or-be-eaten, so I prefer to isolate and give appreciation to the light that emerges from within me. But the mix of boredom and hope-/aimlessness that comes with it can be torture. Balance brings health and my efforts to give are so very often punished hard. When a clear pattern emerges and no more punishment can be endured, the lesson has to be acknowledged. Because the other side of the love coin is lack of caring for oneself. There is such a thing as focusing too little on oneself. This can be a typical symptom that comes with empathy, emotional intelligence, sensitivity. Respect, too, needs to originate from within.

Thank you for this. Metta to all beings I wanted to say that it is really difficult to not come from a place of anger today with everything going on. Personally I would love to see more connectedness instead of anger but the truth is that I feel that a lot of peoples anger in the system in America is quite justified. Then there is guilt and shame for not being as angry, here comes the disconnect and separateness, that I am different so I cannot feel the same and all I can do is have empathy but it is not enough. Then it makes me feel that I am not doing enough to help. Of course when I look deeper, and I actually talk to people, this is not the case but I wonder how many people feel that way. That they are doing their best to be enough in this world, but the media is constantly telling them that they aren't enough. I guess that this is nothing compared to the grief of others. We just did a tonglen mediation in our group and it finally hit me, for so long I would be numb in these meditations, but today I really felt the smoke....

The Power of Awareness by Neville Godard maybe helpful.
Spirituality is the natural self in each of us. We cannot disconnect from ourselves. When we try to do so, therein lies the conflict.
He could have given this talk in 2020 or today... Perhaps we are at the end of this turbulent time, or at the beginning.
Do you still ride your bike?
Just wonderful. Thank you Adya 🫶
Life is a conversation leading us through the perfection of our individual natures.
I’d rather be of the spirit than be of the world, or whatever this world is trying to become
I stoped at a stop sign and waited for a couple to cross the street and thought for a moment what its like to be them. They are across from me and they are no less important than me. Yesterday though I stomped out a tiny cockroach and thought how i just like them, came to this world to die. Something will stomp me out eventually.
Wow ... Thank you for making this great video! You are right that We must understand ourselves truly Before we can be the gift to the world that nature intends us to be. 😃 哇 ... 感謝您製作這個精彩的視頻！ 您是對的 在我們成為大自然希望我們成為這個世界的禮物之前 我們必須真正了解自己。
hello Adyashanti I have a question, because I have a hard time ignoring issues that are happening in the world. So at this point in the world a lot of men and women in Iran stand up for their freedom and risk their lives by doing so. They are asking our help, the help of the world and its diaspora elsewhere. I feel the obligation and a deep yearning and responsiblity to help them. Freeing these women and men from their theocracy governed society. And with theocracy I mean more like a dictatorship, where the people can not speak up and women are being controlled in the street to see if they wear their hijab right by the morality police, because if they don't, they risk their life. At this point a lot of young girls march in the street, as young as 7 and rise against this dictatorship. This regime in Iran makes sure that the internet gets cut off so people can not talk about it globally, however some hackers did bring the news to us. If these protests die out, the Iranians being imprisoned risk to be executed, which is already happening. Girls are getting raped and killed. I just don't know how to stay balanced and help others and at the same time find peace within myself when I hear these terrible things which are happening. What can I do to 1) help others and 2) stay sane and balanced. Thank you! Warm regards

Love hearing this stuff but really before we can "go within" we have to get off the money system we're on. Why is this never mentioned? Money is the biggest motivator of almost all people on earth. Yet this is never mentioned?

@@beatereich5466 It keeps us in a state of deficit and deficiency. When money is created, a debt is also created, a debt that is multiple times more than the money created. Therefore whenever we use money, we are generating the perpetuation of that debt state. The antidote is very easy - get rid of interest. That is the mechanism that makes money a bludgeon to humanity. It's not an accident. Without interest, everyone would be prosperous. But we also have to upgrade from our position as cattle - from being told what to do, from the dominator culture that puts a boss or an institution above the individual. That's if we truly want autonomy. Money is the mechanism which keeps us like cattle.

Our entire culture is based on exploitation. You DO experience that - what are you talking about? You're in denial that's all. You pay taxes don't you? You have a bank account don't you? You have to buy food don't you? Energy? Work for money or get paid by government. You do experience all that probably, you simply don't wish to question it. You may be fine with it, but that is another subject. It's always a choice to accept it and or reject it. However try rejecting money and see how it bludgeons you.

I hear you man. What happened is, how long can one talk about awakening? Adya's been giving lengthy talks on this theme or that, to crowds of sycophantic idealistic people for many years now. Should he keep talking about Emptiness and all that crap? How can he? So he shares his "thoughts" on this mundane bullshit about how to respond to the "crazy world" for worried gray-haired people who have no real interest in enlightenment, only in attending their new-age spiritual church and being comforted by master Adya.
