So wonderful and rare: "conviction, backbone, standing your ground" is necessary. To me it seems as if that gets forgotten over all "not judgemental, not blaming, you alone are responsible for everything that happens to you" and so on. As if we are no social beings. More living alone in our little spiritual bubble, working on our own kensho, trying to optimise ourselves into some saints, the most loved one of all. It feels almost disconnected to the people we meet in the tea corner during breaks, because all exchange gets immediately divided in judgemantal = evil or harmonious = "wise". Thank you Adya for making that clear in a very direct and sharp way. Feels almost like redemption.
I kind of feel there is no truth and no winning. Just views that mostly work for your situation, for now. Setting out to find a truth... nah.. maybe a conclusion. For a while.
Adyashanti again in this instance shows us why unfiltered, unblemished awareness that connects us to the here and now is so critical to just being in it's fullest sense
😊 Thank you Adjashanti. Just what I needed. I'm experiencing trauma 😕 and I am believing my story and enlarging my own pain. I listened in rapt attention. Namaste ❤
Today I feel so very grateful for you and My other teachers because I Am weighted down with the uncertainty and aloneness of my journey on this given path. I feel over my head and exclusively responsible for a introverted mountain girl as to the outcome and perception of my motive in just reaching out to share a song Please keep me in your prayers. Not to be arrogant, but heavy is the head that wears the crown 👑💕 Grace
I don't think I have been sure of anything since I was eight. Since then I thought first I was the only one and for a while I was in awe of all those people knowing stuff, sure of themselves.. And then I found out... The most common reason to convince someone is that you fear you might not be right. In just about anything, but mostly in religion/spiritual stuff.. Being unsure.. everything is research.

So, if we pass by a rape or murder taking place, or even pass by a stranger who obviously preparing to commit an act of terror, is the most 'true' response minding one's own reactions, thoughts and emotions and leave it all to destiny? Or would we act with full force and with the best of our skills to stop it? Well, humanity as a whole is indeed being murdered and raped en masse by the powers that be. This is just simple truth and enough evidence of high level evil having its way is on the table for anyone to see. Teachers like Adya may be apt and sharp when it comes to the eastern flavored 'enlightenment' teaching, yet seems to lack helluva much when it comes to the esoteric and depth psychological part of being a human. The risk of promoting spiritual bypassing is real and ample. There are great christian pastors, priests, monks, nuns and even cardinals that truly adresses the 'exterior' collective onslaught that is taking place, without losing sight of the individuals spiritual path and salvation.
Thanks for your question. One of Adya's main teaching subjects is "Caring for the World."

Coming from your true self means you respond authentically to the moment. So, you cannot decide or imagine your response to a situation until it's there before you. This has nothing to do with bypassing, it's about knowing you're not in control and all your mental chatter and judgements about what will happen don't matter. If you don't mind, it won't matter. If you become willing to drop your judgements, fears and need to control you will meet every moment freshly. This requires a true willingness to trust life to take cate of life and surrendering. Endless Blessings🙏💕
@@ravenwildspirit I appreciate you taking the time to connect and preach. Imho it is a somewhat standard western neo-advaita answer. I think it is partly correct however, but I am in no position to really discern with skills here. Yet there are those teachers who explain that there are levels of realisation and training the mind's capacity to fathom and judge wisely about personal and collective events isn't necessary in opposition to radical wordless grace. I do think my initial comment contains value tho. Blessings to you also.

When you want the truth more than you want to win ....love it
me too! 💖

It’s not about you or me being right, it’s about getting it right.
He is one of the greatest modern “teachers” I know of…so direct to the point with no sugar coating.

Ive just been utterly humbled by a spiritual master. This video i really needed. Thank you 🙏🏻
Earlier I saw a spiritual master. I now see a sage.
He's amazing, and he is totally human, too.

Much love to you and Mukti
To seek and knock means to look and question. It never means remain committed to something. We cease being open.
Amazing ❤
Your words are just what I needed. Thank you so much!

Can we watch the videos with the screen off. It’s a UA-cam premium feature. Thanks.

Thank you
We don't know anything
I think I did, I thought I knew I was safe and could trust. Then someone else’s ideas made me start questioning, now I don’t think I know anything.
Lovely! 💖
🙏❤️

How are you friend? ☺️
I'm good! 🙏 You?
Im fine 🙏🏻😊
