Adyashanti - Creating Space in the Mind
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 жов 2016
- adyashanti.org - Adyashanti explores the nature of the mind and how by creating space within it, you are allowing experience to occur naturally and effortlessly. You are no longer bound by the mind’s restraints or by the events that unfold in your life. By allowing emotions and feelings to arise and fall away spontaneously, you create space for yourself to not get lassoed into reactivity. This vast internal space forges great freedom. Adyashanti points to the vital aspect of choice becoming part of your everyday experience of being.
Video Excerpted From October 5, 2014, Palo Alto Meeting, “Living Your Deepest Wisdom”: bit.ly/3z2PvWN
Quotes from this video:
“Consciousness is the first thing that emptiness does. It’s a capacity. It’s an attribute.
When you’re in the experience of it, one of the benefits it gives you is you no longer feel velcroed to whatever the current feeling state or thought state is. You don’t feel bound to it.
“When there’s no space, you are whatever your conditioning throws up into your experience. So if you’re angry, you are angry. That’s it. No space. There’s nothing but anger. If you’re sad, there’s only sadness. There’s nothing else. You are the sadness. If you’re joyous, there’s just joy, which you love and become attached to. If there’s despair, then you’re just despairing.”
“The ego can put on the costume of witnessing, but it can’t actually do it. The witnessing is something that’s already happening. It’s more like you notice it rather than you do it. It’s like awareness. You notice awareness is already happening. You don’t do awareness.
“When we experience some internal spaciousness. When you experience that whatever emotion or feeling or thought is arising within a kind of spaciousness-it means that you can either give your attention to that, you can become attached to that, you can watch it, you can act upon it, or not act upon it-you have options, in other words, and this is vital.”
This guy is into a different level. He is probably one of the best teachers around if not the best teacher in the world. Believe me! I'm not exaggerating . Gracias and Bendiciones
Different people need different teachers. To some, a total phony might be more suitable than Adyashanti.
@Dowlphin would the teaching be lost then?
I'm reading your book : The End Of Your World . Thank you for writing this masterpiece , it's really helping me .
Sometimes I ponder the situation for a moment and then decide to totally lose my temper.
I love your teachings
Adyashanti . You are so amazing .
Adyashanti 🙏🏽🙌🏽
I LOVE YOU!
Thank you
I love him.He is so authentic
14 years of this and its always True..thank you Adyashanti..love you
simply flowing and glowing this new sense is fulfillment. yes thank you 💓
very helpful... turns out my ego was trying not to care hahah!! :)
Yes, that’s the paradoxical aspect of these theories and practices. The ego will almost automatically care about not caring.
❤️❤️❤️
so who is noticing the spaciousness who has all the choices
that would be the awareness itself. You can't find it that is why Adya calls it emptyness, but you can feel it.... In other word, it is the self aware emptyness/beingness....
yes but how see space ?
your explanation makes me understand the deep meaning of life, the purpose of being here.
♥ ♥ ♥
yea :)
Namaste
You say :" When we experience some internal spaciousness. When you experience that whatever emotion or feeling or thought is arising within a kind of spaciousness-it means that you can either give your attention to that, you can become attached to that, you can watch it, you can act upon it, or not act upon it-you have options, in other words, and this is vital.”
QUESTION: Who can either give attention or become attached to that? Who have options?
ANSWER: Ego is what decides among different options. WHICH EGO?
Although ego is one, has two aspects the lower (rajasotamasic) attached to the body, external mind, senses and objects and the higher one, the sattvic discriminating ego which is the direct instrument of awareness in man.
When the lower rajasotamsic ego is much stronger than the sattvic one, man lives asleep, like a reactive machine and identified with the body, the desires, pleasures, emotions and sensations etc. This lower ego is the struggling ego which when is engaged in spirituality struggles to concentrate, meditate, to observe detached etc. The lower ego is what resists our transformation and purification of the energy field and chitta (subconscious mind) from pride, greed, hatred, anger, lust, lasciviousness, gluttony etc. because the lower ego is all these tendencies.
When the higher sattvic ego is stronger then man can live detached from the lower egoic self and identify with the awareness within. In this case the higher capacities of the buddhi and higher centers of consciousness can be developed and man can live as a real human being.
The lower ego is what causes the bondage and the higher is that which leads us under the guidance of the Soul towards liberation.
Spirituality is the great battle between the higher (sattvic) ego and the lower (rajasotamasic) ego, the higher sattvic and the lower rajasotamasic mind.
love and light
Grace is the creation of space. One of our mistakes is to try to fill the space.
but wath to do with Krishnamurti's : " The observer is the observed " ?
I was following until Adya said,"just because we experience consciousness doesn't mean we know what to do with it". There is nothing to do with it, is there?
:D
