I'm currently living in complete fear. I do not pursue anything, I have no ambitions, no confidence. I'm always afraid of having anxiety in all situations. Such a terrible way to live. I'm 35 now and want nothing but to live free of fear.
Dear Erik...sometimes we need support when stuck in a place like disabling fear. If you are capable and willing it could serve your highest good to see a therapist. Often fear is rooted in a trauma we may have buried so deep that we get to where you are now. I once was extremely fear based and anxious and Hypnotherapy helped me. Please take care of you, there are ways to freedom. Blessings 🙏💞
Erik,waste no time and get a copy of "The Power Of Now " -- by Eckhart Tolle and dive fearlessly into it and take action on what he says to do. It helped me with my issues with anger. Not only will you learn to "go within " or step back and observe your thoughts, feelings and emotions to show them WHO is in charge, but also learn about the " collective consciousness " and how it may be affecting you without you being aware, especially in today's global epidemic of fear. Take action Bro !!!
Thank you so much Adya, so much respect. It was me wrote mail to him, when I had this strong and strange awakening. Your guidance worked so great so far, i have reached far far out from there, I'm very comfortable now with mind, thoughts, no matter what is happening in the head, it's kind of same :D. I feel so much love from your way of speaking, how are putting out the guidance. Thank you for uploading this video. I feel so blessed 🙏
I remember your joy last year when adya read out your name in response of your mail, vivek! Such a lovely guidance from a true Master! Happy for your journey💐
might you accept the notion that thoughts have reality, in the realm of the mind? a different level, or dimension of reality than things you can "know" through the 5 senses? here's a thought experiment: if thoughts have no reality whatsoever, why is it that thoughts can affect our body directly? for example, when worrisome thoughts instigate our nervous system, and lead to increased cortisol?
@@thegloriousbothand oh yes acceptance is key, none the less, something happens something shifts, going beyond the meditator, the Beingness and the absolute merge and there is absolute nothingness…. It simply can’t be described. A blissful peace beyond discernment, an all encompassing bliss. Just pure pure Love without an opposite and a so subtle knowing of That! So yes you might say at some level that thoughts have a reality, much like the old saying of using a thorn to dig a thorn out of your skin, yet when you have finished you discard both thorns….. Beautiful soul, I have NO idea from where my thoughts arise or into what they dissolve when they vanish….I have zero knowledge of what my thoughts will be in one minute and twenty three seconds from now or what I was thinking at this time yesterday. The answer is not in thoughts or Philosophy would have lead us to salvation eons ago! ❤️❤️❤️ what is going on with YOU in this moment is important and perfect, so how could that be wrong?
@@thegloriousbothand Only if you believe them. If you will and it is usefull to you. Keep doing it. If not, know you have the higher power over your thoughts!
Nothing gets turned around, go to the narcissistic core of the ego that’s enjoying it or amazed or whatever by it and let that be absorbed into god through the witnessing of vanities death and the swallowing of the witness there of.
Wonderful Adya. Despite 4 consecutive years of effort/non-effort I've not yet managed to evoke the awakened view or have taken the backwards step as I understand it to be. My meditation practice has made me more lucid, compassionate, confident addressing larger groups (an earlier phobia), able to cut through self-deception in times of self-generated struggle and best of all it has made me whole lot happier. I've even experienced what I believe is often called spacious awareness, where my sense of self stretched so far beyond the boundaries of my skin (not once or twice, but maybe hundreds of times). What more can one possibly want out of practice? All the teachers and teachings that I'm so grateful to have access to in the modern era fixate (likely for good reason) on awakening, or non-dual awareness and then caution that we ought not make this an aim lest we put a major obstacle to that aim in our way. I do my best to continue without attaching to this aim, but I can see now with my heightened mindfulness capacities that all this talk of awakening techniques, be it through non-action, inquiry or any other means, is generating a background desire that is with me 24/7 to taste liberation. Wondering, how does one orient in such a way as to accomplish a goal, when both attempts to pursue that goal and to let go of it altogether never seem to reveal my true nature?
You might want to check out Bart Marshall. His ideas on Covid and social reality in general are weird and best ignored. But his spiritual views seem to come from a place of deep realization and also appear to reconcile the opposites of effort and surrender.
Desire for liberation is a legitimate one. Suggesting to kill that desire only produces confused speakers, stuck in some idle state called “non-doing”. There is nothing wrong with putting effort into your spiritual practice, because only that can bring fruits.
A great question to consider is this notion of true nature and liberation. there is liberation FROM, and then there is freedom TO be fully human, with a personality, a distinct ego, all as a manifestation of the "absolute" or whatever you'd like to call that. perhaps you may discover that your true nature is not formlessness but a marriage of form and formlessness which co-arise, neither is more valid or "spiritual" than the other...we and the world are expressions of the primal formless "ground of being" that many nondualists talk about. please don't let anyone convince you that the personal dimension of you, and of reality is somehow FALSE, simply because it isn't "graspable" or is transient. none of those make it less valid or of value, and when you realize the immanence of the transcendent there is no longer a need to call one or the other the ultimate truth.
I am afraid that I have changed and what I do now does not serve me in the best way. I have been conditioned to believe I am something I am not. I cannot do what I have been doing much longer. I am afraid of the future and the many little deaths that surround it.
Dear Carolyn, It is the fear that disables us. Seeing what you are thinking/believing is not serving you is the first step. These many little deaths can bring freedom and liberation. Learning to not fear death but embrace it as a liberation can free us. It's only the self serving Ego that dies. Who we are is eternal. All it takes to change conditioning is to recognize it and in your clarity make new choices. Blessings 🙏💞
I've been obsessing over always doing the right thing. And think it's some kind of cheat code for living the best life i can live. Can anyone give me there opinion . It's been causeing a lot of disharmony
I think as long as your actions don't cause suffering to anyone,they are always the right thing, because how could they be wrong, based on what even? It's just your overthinking mind complicating things. :)
''The Right Thing'' is completely subjective. The best life is one of Freedom and Liberation from the tyranny of the Ego/Mind. When we stop listening to the mind...the one that judges and tells us what is good/bad or right/wrong it's a beginning of harmony. Instead what Adya is pointing to is Relaxing, letting go of mental activity and finding the one who is awake and witnessing within. If you can relax and surrender into this space you can let life live you instead of believing little you is in control. As many say it's incredibly simple but when trying from Ego never easy. Let go dear one. Blessings 🙏💞
There is no Self, no Consciousness, no Awareness, no life. All words describe the knowable, known, knowledge, knowing. Words simply do not exist. Without Words is Unknowable Absolute Perfection. Nonsense is without senses and Presence is without Being. Thus Unknowable Absolute Perfection equals Nonsense equals Presence without the words which is NO BEING. Life comes from the two "I"s/Eyes projecting Light onto All Created Words. The left "I"/Eye is Ignorance or ignoring Presence. The right "I"/Eye is Imagination which creates all Knowledge/words simultaneous. The two "I"s/Eye looking straight ahead see One Creation Simultaneous, all words becoming images or imag(e)ination, giving all words meaning and purpose. There is no such thing as Awakening or Enlightenment which only occurs with Eyes wide open as does Life. Repetition of these complete/whole words creates Life Eternal repetition due to all words are already complete with beginning letter and ending letter. Realizing it is the Word that creates Life, Absolute Perfection (without words, Unknowable, without words, Nonsense without senses, and Presence without Being can never be known. There is no Self, no thing, no place, no person, no Human BEING, all is Ignorant Imagination. Realizing the culprit is Ignorance and Imagination that keeps one Thinking and doing eternal with eyes wide open, REST the eyes/"I"s eternal which none of these words exist and are the final words of the two "I"s. Neti Neti "not this, not that" equals Presence. All words dissolve including Presence. Go ahead, Ignorant Imagination explain Unknowable Absolute Perfection without words, without sight or hearing, without being. The All Seeing Eye is the two "i's" seeing the one creation simultaneous. The Eye for Absolute Perfection is a Rock Formation deep in the canyons of Sedona AZ. The Bible "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God." In the birth of ignorance/imagination, Imagination was with God, Imagination was God. It is Imagination that creates all Life and keeps words alive by repetition of what is already complete. Presence NO BEING is here there and everywhere, not here, not there, not anywhere simultaneous. Go ahead, pilgrim, look at the individual senses. There is no head on the body. The yes, ears, nose, mouth, throat/voice can not be seen unless looking there in the reflection of a mirror. All Nonsense. The imagination sees a completed world of images. But the Clue is no head, just a body and where it goes Presence is always there. NO BEING without words, without sense without being is the answer to Ignorant Imagination and Life. The word question/answer are only found in imagination as is Self. YOU ARE THAT Presence, never having been created, never to be created, and not created presently.
That's a good question to think about on your own. You could spend some time asking yourself "who am I?". What if you're something larger than you thought you were? Pay attention to your body and feelings, when you ask that question to yourself, do you feel that some part of you is "me"?
you ARE you, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. yet who you are is MORE than what you've taken yourself to be. your personal self exists as part of a greater whole. it is valid, it is valuable, and there is nothing IMO spiritual about trying to eradicate or de-realize the personality. nonduality is both/and. the personal and the universal BOTH exist, together, co-arising! look for nondual teachers who promote that, otherwise you may very well end up mentally unwell, like many people who are taught partial nondual teachings based on this idea that you can or should, get rid of your personal self or ego.
turn the angle of your mind away from objects and you CAN see your Self..the Atman..in the beyond..most of humanity cant find themselves at the deepest level..thats why we do spiritual practices...like yoga..
and you are also whatever comes after it, on one level. what we identify as on an ego level can be part of what we are yet not ALL of it. that is the healthiest view IMO
I urge you all to support "save soil" movement led by sadhguru. He is riding 30,000 kilometers across 24 nations trying to make policy changes on soil use. You should checkout some UA-cam videos then you will know the seriousness of this issue. Thank-you
This is tremendously helpful. Just to hear him say ‘relax’ puts me at ease.

I keep coming back to these videos and everytime I do I'm aware that me coming back stands in the way of me finding what I'm looking for.
Right because it's an escape from facing our own reality

There comes a point when thoughts seem absurd. Laughing about what bubbles up knowing there isn’t a bit of reality to it.

The illusory me is nothing but my memory if you can live without memory like new born child so you are the true self.
So, instead of “I Love myself” - “I Love” ❤️ easy 😊
I is already there
Sounds like DPDR.
