Apertures of Existence

Imagine we are all aperture points through which existence sees and experiences itself. On the one hand, we have the experience of being separate human beings with particular viewpoints, yearnings, and egoic tendencies. But as Adyashanti illustrates, if we look closely, we recognize something much more fundamental happening: All of life is the deep journey of the one existence endeavoring to become conscious of its ultimate nature and experience itself in an ever more enlightened way.

Quotes from this Download:

“If you stop thinking about yourself, and you stop thinking about what you are thinking, there is no ego.”

“In Existence, there is no such thing as good or bad, right or wrong. When ego becomes ‘bad,’ it becomes a hideous illusion we think we have to get rid of somehow. That is also an egoic invention.”

“If you have a wonder of something beyond, just that desire itself is already an indication that Existence is beginning to move on and endeavor to experience itself in a bigger way.”

“Constant self-talk gives you an abstracted sense of self.”
