"Don't take them as objectively real; don't submit yourself to them." ~ Adyashanti
As part of Adya's response to an emailed question, he pointed out a worrisome guidance by the questioner's mentor, where it reads, "my mentor alluded to these visions as glimpses of God and that following them or submitting to them is important."
Adya's comment: "That's really dangerous...when you go into these deep dimensions, you're bumping into these visions and stuff, [which] are really a product for the most part of going into the collective unconscious and the collective unconscious is an extremely unpredictable domain of experience. And you know, Gods can turn into devils in the snap of a finger and vice versa..."

About the talk:
In this illuminating broadcast, Adyashanti speaks to the intangible quality of being-how the essence of who you are is completely ungraspable and undefinable. As much as the interpretive mechanism of the mind tries to conceptualize that intangibility, it will never be able to fully understand it. The direct experience of who you are can only come from true being itself.
Topics Include:
Moving from True Nature
The Essence of Your True Being
Getting in Touch with Intuitive Knowledge
The Interpretive Mechanism of the Mind
True Mindfulness
Conceptual vs. Experiential Knowledge
The Timeless Now
The Vital Importance of Your Sovereignty

"Don't take them as objectively real; don't submit yourself to them." ~ Adyashanti
Do you not have dreams of becoming? Daydeams of being? Or visions of experiences?
It's very important to follow through with these, and believe in them.
Because believing in them is believing in yourself. Which is actually total self awareness.
Completely submit yourself to your dreams, to the daydreamer.
Completely submit yourself to your vision. If you have a vision of being a teacher, a yogi, or anyone. What Is stopping you from believing in it? Yourself.
The unconsciousness is when your mind isn't awake, it's not fully active and instead the body sense consciousness is primary.
Visions are actually complete conscious things. They are our dreams.
And this is awakening. What can you awake if you don't know what's asleep?
The daydreamer, the thinker within is the sleeper.
When it awakes, it completes everything it wishes.
Do you yourself not submit to inspiration? To divine creativity which comes from God?
Thank you Adya! I think many people can get caught in this trap. It's just more "stuff". Leave it alone.

Possessed by common unconscious. Dang
Very interesting.
I wonder, tho, what to make of actual divine revelations and higher intuitive seeing? Many of the prophets and saints in christianity had and shared those. Also, the bible tells us to discern between spirits, not reject all.
I have too little knowledge myself and am not advocating for either. Just find the topic extremely important.
Rudolf Steiner and the whole lineage of true rosicrucian initiates speaks lots about this higher seeing - not lower astral travels or collective unconscious - and says we should learn this in appropriate ways.
Isn't there a distinct line between shamanistic pre-rational visions and trans-rational intuitive seeing?
It depends on what the "visions" are and what is meant by "follow" them or "submit" to them. In any case most of this has zero to do with anyone's real life or experience.
