By clarifying the fundamental ideas of suffering, ego, freedom, and awakened values, he invites you to look beyond patterns of thinking that cause suffering.”The belief in ego is the great cause of conflict and suffering. And it’s the primary illusion that spirituality is meant to dispel. Spirituality is a teaching which offers you the possibility of breaking free of this egoic state of consciousness and coming into a whole new realization of who and what you truly are. And all this starts with the willingness to question. To pause for just a moment and realize that maybe you aren’t who you imagine yourself to be.”~ AdyashantiFREE Video Stream:In this specially-recorded 40-minute video, Adyashanti speaks about the three fundamental applications of his teaching. He discusses what it means to allow everything to be as it is, the basics of true spiritual inquiry, and conscious living as a reflection of awakened values. “Ideas, beliefs, and opinions are the stuff of egoic consciousness. Seeing through all of that brings love, compassion, and gratitude. . . . These awakened values are manifestations of what you already are in the truth of your being. Discover these values from the inside through stillness and inquiry. These values are the ground from which conscious spirit moves.””It is the basics that are most important. Never leave this foundation. From this, an incredible depth is to be found — an ongoing revelation of the truth of existence.”~ Adyashanti
