Quotes from this Video:
"The enlightened view shows us that each thing and each being is of infinite value. Each being and each thing is a manifestation of God, of the divine, and when we really see this -- not just as an idea or a concept -- it’s a way of falling in love with the world, with all of its imperfections." -Adyashanti
“A wonderful contemplation that relates directly to peace is 'How might I orient in my life to a sense of what I regard as meaningful and precious?'” -Mukti
"The Peace Room is about how we interact with all of life, and bringing the more enlightened way of being into the world." -Adyashanti
“One of my focuses is really to help those who are listening into a sense of attunement to what is valuable, into a journey of greater consciousness and direct experience, into knowledge through our being of what is important, and how to recognize that, nurture that, and bring it forward." -Mukti
Glad you talk about this as so few teachers do and thus your teaching is rooted in life also.
Thank you both for sharing your beautiful spirituality with us. It is so meaningful to me. Adyashanti I soak up your words like a sponge, and completely relate to the way you express your teachings. I have never met a spiritual teacher that I can experience such clarity of thought with and connection to in depth of understanding. You express many things that Jesus has been teaching me and I have been starting to understand, and you take me to a deeper level of understanding with such clarity and ease that I can easily grasp. Thank you so much for all you share and teach.
In my spiritual journey, I have come to understand that the way of the Cross was the sacrifice that Jesus made to bring us into the experience of God's unconditional love through the process of surrender of the ego, and rebirth into the love of our eternal Father and source of existence, on both a personal and intimate level of experience, by way of the cross (John 17:21,22,23,26; 1John 4:7-11,16-19; 2Thessalonians 3:5; Mathew 16:24,25) The Bible refers to this as "the living way" into the presence of God the Father at Hebrews 10:19,20. The Bible also teaches that sin is "missing the mark" of perfect love, which is unconditional in nature, and transcends duality, although many Christians have not made that connection in their understanding (1John 3:4,14,16; 4:7-11,16-19; Mathew 5:43-48).
Also along the lines of what you teach on the experience of the Presence of the "All that is," the Bible teaches at Ephesians 3:16-19 that the unconditional love of God is experienced "outside" of the intellect of the mind of our personal egos, and that the comprehension of the "breath and length and height and depth" of His love is understood and experienced through the Spirit of the living Christ in our hearts, and cannot be understood or experienced as the product of our intellectual minds.
There is so much of the Biblical passages and teachings of the scriptures that are opening up to me and taking on such a deeper meaning since I have been listening to your teachings. I think much of what you teach embodies the truth that Jesus was communicating to humanity at that time in a different format which stands the test of time and is always relevant in bringing us to the experience of our divine natures through faith in Him, and by the revelation of the Holy Spirit of Grace.
Thanks again for sharing your teachings and insights. You are greatly appreciated. I would love to share my blog with you. I write about unity with the divine nature of God's unconditional love by way of the cross and from a Biblical perspective. I have recently posted a type of prose I wrote called "And He Walked Among Us" for the Christmas season. I think you will like it. My blog is www.handofgrace.com.
I can feel my Heart Chakra opening up simply be hearing them speak. It's absolutely intoxicating.
How beautiful it is to embrace those who bring wisdom to us and help us see beyond our EGO. His teachings should be taken as they are and not trying to make another concept out of it otherwise we lose the purpose of what he is saying. Love to you ❤️❤️❤️
The mind does this almost seamlessly. There is no blame in making it into a concept, we do it almost instantaneously, making it into something to seek, to understand, or to deny.
Just the willingness to see clearer and clearer is what breaks through that. No matter what fear, what desire crosses your way. They are ultimately nothing but thoughts.
Thank you for this beautiful inside! 🙏🏽
Beautiful ! Thank you so much!
Thank you once again🙏🏼
❤
My mission is to bring Christ light here . Now .

Thank you 🙏🏻

It is often awkward for a detached thinker to talk to someone who is self deluded serious not to upset them because they hang on words and take themselves too seriously and exaggerate, However recently discovered Non Violent Communication (NVC) which may help in avoiding triggering them.
optizap Thank you for this comment. I too have been really interested in NVC lately and have found it to be extremely powerful in transforming some of my difficult interactions. I hope to spread NVC more among people as i think it can make a great difference to all of our relationships... excited about this.
love
I want to shave my head someday too.
Lol
Is he actually literally enlightened? Why am i asking this? LOL who is the one asking..
You would know if he was.. many people get momentary illumination and think they're enlightened and change their name to shantishanti something
Don't get me wrong, he seems more open than most.. people incorporate illumination into their lives in their own way. i get it, he feels like he's been reborn in a way and changes his name but i really don't see it more than another ego label. no one is gonna take you seriously if your name is Billybob McGee
In the Bible God changed the names of persons who had entered a new phase of maturity and purpose in God's asignment and purpose for their life. An example of this is Abram's name was changed by God to Abraham. Abram means "father is exalted," Abraham means, " "father of a multitude." God changed his name to Abraham after He made a covenant with him, that he would become father of many nations and that all the nations of the world would be blessed through his seed. There are many other examples of persons in the Bible whose name was changed to show a new purpose or fulfillment for their life in relationship to God's plan for their life and purpose. Names were meaningful to the character and purpose of a persons life and direction.
Adyashanti changed his name to one that showed his new awakened spiritual identity within the "All that is" and thus best embodied how he now identified himself spiritually within the One, and thus honored that new found relationship. Adyashanti means Primordial Peace. He is not identifying his ego with the name, he is actually doing the opposite, and honoring his newly found relationship with the "All that is." Even if he was identifying his ego with a new name, the fact is that on a human level we operate and serve the purpose of the "All" within our ego personality, and we all have names we go by, and that is necessary, because we are creations of the "All" and reflections of the Eternal Source of all existence and also share in that experience with a personal ego. An "enlightened" person is just a person whose ego no longer experiences an isolated identity separate from the "All," but instead sees itself within the "All" as an expression of the "All" and in service of "All," and his human ego now finds its identity within the "All" expanded to include all others in a relative sense within his human experience and identity.
This is my understanding of it all. Hope this is helpful.
Yes, he did fail. Enlightenment is about failing.
@@eqh1593 Well the Buddha himself was originally named Siddharth Gautama, but after enlightenment was called Tatagat or Buddha, Shakyamuni, and other names which all allude to enlightenment and perfection. These may seem like egoic labels to our egos, but the intention is different from their perspective.
They got transformed from western named ego's into .....?....
into a commitment to leave behind what was identified as person with a name as completely as possible . I suppose to be identified as spiritual teachers , but perhaps not so much by themselves as for others. Always there is the relative and the absolute . So judge or just listen.
