Adyashanti: Q&A-futile to argue with mind...Be with what's here now...Be still...allow it to be done

~ excerpted from "The Five Truths about Truth by Adyashanti (2005)": adyashanti.ope...
"It's not about retreats...This is about life. This is about now and forever. This is about our eternal Self-our eternal Being. You're entirely correct-your intuition that it's so important to remove the element of time out of the whole equation, because even the idea of retreat has time, has beginning and end, and then 'my intention will shift'-the intention that we share here together. Does it need to shift? Do we actually need to be any less authentic when we go into the world?...So the most important thing is you just see all this. The power of seeing is immense...
"You know you can't do it. When you can't do it, the only option you have is to be still and allow it to be done. And even it's right here, is it not? I mean the great emptiness-the infinite nothingness is all around you and all inside you. It's everywhere. You're swimming in it...
"That great still silence. That's always the invitation. It doesn't sound wonderful when I say the great nothing, but only through the great nothing is the great everything revealed. Only in the great nothing, only in the great release into Infinite space is the great everything revealed..."
~ Adyashanti

Someone told me proudly that he just went to church.
I asked. What if your church was the size of the univers? 😅
