Opening the Door of the Heart: Adyashanti and Edward Frenkel
Two passionate lovers of truth and wonder, a spiritual teacher and a mathematician, exchange stories of the path to awakening, and discuss the psychological nature of the rediscovery of the experience of being. For many of us it's natural to start on the intellectual plane and to use the power of the scientific, rational mind to surmise the reality of those dimensions. But at some point we move beyond the mind and hear a call from the heart.

Coming across this conversation is like finding a rare gem- beautiful, touching, inspiring....Thank you!
I love the beginning! Both men! This love for what you do, this wonderment! This connection. Being 78 now and fear this pain Edward talks about. You, Edward are lucky to find it now and to see this enthusiasm of you.
Wonder-ful! Exquisite freedom. From E.M. Forester's novel, Howards' End: "Only connect!" For a mathematics professor, Edward Frenkel is eloquent and poetic.
The video should actually be called: Edward Frenkel's Life Story
so interesting from 26.00 great subject about dissociation, went through same experience, as child i split myself. when i connected i felt so much pain in the heart, but also finally found connection with life. the fog disappeared in my head and could feel it was at the left, liking a floating body, and i felt finally clarity in my head. i also never knew this was going on, only in art therapy where i made drawning when i was child and therapist went deeper, i found out i was suddenly six and got very dizzy. i never understood in my life what was going on, because i thought my childhood was allright, nothing really bad. you need to feel it. and everyone has their own timing, their own season, when you are ready it will come to you, don't force it. take your time and don't rush. my life finally got more connected, 30 now. i get some glimpses of the clarity/connection with earth. i hope i will receive many more, to be totally alive and feel loved.
This made me remember and dig up a small piece of text I wrote after connecting with this in myself: Become conscious of all the ways you are unconscious. Begin seeing the way you have ended up distancing yourself from life, in an attempt to fill the cracks from that initial splinter that seemed to lodge itself in your heart from the time around your first memories - Widened by every hit of the hammer of others silencing that preciousness, that innocence in them. Make your way back, to the very moment of every inner defeat suffered in silence and listen for the voice of your heart. Then, see where that takes you, whatever may come.

Edward Frenkel just wants to talk about his life and not listen.. But its funny how Adya said at the end that some people need to understand that spiritual teachers aren't therapists, I think he was insinuating this to Edward :D
That Ego really had the stage ☺️
“... at some point we move beyond the mind & hear a call from the heart.” Wow, so beautiful a description of awakening. (Found at bottom of video description.) Thanks to you both. ~*~
Right on - this conversation hit home on so many levels. Thanks for sharing it.
So beautiful and honest. Thank you very much, this is very helpful for me.
A very interesting talk. It shows that we humans are not all born equal. Some come into this world as little angels, children of light, who do not recognise this world as their domain. No human love and care can ever fulfil their need and they will only find peace in their heart when they realise their true and perfect nature, after much suffering. Other little ones coming into this world clearly come into their own domain. They are the children of this world. They strongly believe they can’t find peace and satisfaction in this world. Edward clearly is one of those little angels, a child of the light.

Yes great talk, however it’s always interesting to see the patience and quiet of the spiritual teacher vs. the interruptions of the ego trained mathematician. It’s refreshing to see that type eager to seek beyond- Great talk though.
Thank you 🦋
This is an amazing conversation
Edward points to psychological purification, so the mind and body are healed. From this place of health, Adya’s teaching can be more easily access, directly realized. Perhaps this is the “preparation” part of the journey.
I am surprised that Adya was able to say few sentences as the host kept on interrupting him all the time. I feel that Adya didn’t get to finish a lot of his ideas. I guess some time the host just like to hear themself talking way too much….
Intriguing Adya ❤ Edward 🌼
Edward basically discovered psychoanalysis after more than a hundred years.
love

Fear is a wake-up call, perhaps, yes?
He is so silly. Lol What’s the point of having Adyashanti over? He kept speaking over him and cutting him off. He would have really gained some insight he let adya speak. Lol
I hate to say but interviewer still suffers from restlessness and may be anxiety. He wouldn't let adya talk.
So some cultures have no energy, that is because the truely human vitality is sealed inside.
my goodness, let Adya speak a little..

Exactly what I thought as well, this Edward guy sure likes the sound of his own voice. I’m guessing he was high on anxiety from being on the stage, if he actually ever listened to adya, maybe he could have kept his composure.

It's a good example of enlightenment vs. the less refined state of mind. I sure am no expert nor certain about Adya's enlightenment but it seems so. Edward's in the midst of healing.
Blimey. The Tortoise and the Hare.
Why isn't Xavier credited anywhere?
This is not evenly matched. I’m being kind
Dr. Frenkel has had an opening that has clearly escaped most of the people who have replied. Possibly even Adya!

so heady and wordy is not a teacher for me.......he seems insane actually
I feel that Frenkel is more in touch with his true nature than Adyashanta!!
