Adyashanti - The Wisdom of Awareness

http://adyashanti.org - Adyashanti speaks to finding an inner resource of peace and well-being within yourself and truly embracing your spiritual autonomy. By embracing the quietness of awareness, you can listen and hear the peace that inherently dwells within your experience. By bringing awareness into your experience, the capacity for clarity awakens within you, and the opportunity for understanding is revealed. Adyashanti invites you to be open to the deep qualities of awareness: intuitive wisdom, great intelligence, profound unity, and heartfelt love.

Quotes from this video:

“I’m talking about a place inside where there’s some sort of inner reference—a reference for peace and sanity, maybe even well-being—within yourself. Not within somebody else, not within the guru, or teaching, or someone two thousand years ago, or yesterday—but somewhere within yourself.”

“A state of clarity or well-being—it’s not something we create, it’s something we begin to notice is there. But, of course, calm and peace and clarity aren’t very noisy. It’s not like anger, resentment, and jealousy—those are noisy emotions. If you have those in you, you don’t have to go looking very far for them. They’re very obvious. But these other qualities are much softer, much more quiet.”

“You put awareness on something, and you hold it there. And just by holding awareness on something, you come to understand it with great clarity—without even trying to understand it. With no deductive logical process necessarily.”

“There is a wisdom component to awareness. Awareness isn’t just a flashlight beam with no intelligence at all that just illuminates wherever you point it. It’s highly intelligent, it’s highly interactive, because it’s in the deepest sense connected with everything that arises.”

“These are qualities of awareness: connectedness, unity, deep profound existential intimacy with all things, and unity with existence.”
