The Autonomy of Unified Spirit

Adyashanti presents a unified view that encompasses both the world of form and the realm of the absolute. He describes how the contradictions inherent in concepts of ego and no-ego, self and no-self create confusion in navigating through life. Authentic autonomy is the unity of relative and absolute; only when you go beyond all of the opposites can Spirit’s unique expression be born in you and as you. Email responses and call-in dialogues explore the chaos of relative transformation, being a portal through which the light of Spirit shines, and shifting from the inner critic into the way things really are.

Topics Include: Discovering Spiritual Autonomy / The Polarity of Relative and Absolute / Mistaking the Absolute View for the Totality / Getting Lost in Openness / Finding Direction in Unity / Exercising the Muscle of Selflessness / Dealing with Doubt / The Deep Energyless Ground

Quotes from this Download: “Beyond the duality of form and formless, absolute and relative, the world of nothingness and the world of somethingness are one thing.” • “It’s useful and important to have a sense inside yourself of moving through chaos with absolute truthfulness, integrity, and honesty. These are the energies that keep you from losing balance.” • “Part of being that spark of Spirit for each of us is that we’re also a link or a portal through which that light shines.” • “There’s a dimension of consciousness where everything seems like a lucid dream, like you could put your hand through anything.” • “By experiencing through the lens of the heart, there’s more of a dimension of concreteness and practicality.”
