Adyashanti is such a gentle man. He does not sugar coat what the spiritual life entails but lays it out in practical terms for all people to understand
Right after @29:25 Alanis asked, "As opposed to what?", regarding Adya joining the human family rather than simmering in spiritual circles. What came to mind was analogous to people who have the economic benefit of being able to drive their car everywhere, in their own comfort and safety-no waiting for the bus, no encounters with drunken homeless people sputtering in your face, no person tormented by mental illness shouting while pushing into you on tiny seats, no awkward encounters with human disorder and stench, etc. What is the nitty gritty spirituality? What is being entirely naked and vulnerable? Ride public transportation through the seediest parts of a city. Basically, are we referring to human discomfort? Are we saying spirituality is a form of comfort? Is this a form of escapism or hmmm... I'm thinking. I don't know. I'm grappling with being present with my and other people's suffering, whether I encounter them in dark alleyways, in the lost and winding tunnels of the mind, or the deep poverty and hopelessness I witness around me because I can smell it and it makes me fall onto my knees for an even deeper spirituality. Sorry, late night rambling, or groping for something real.
@@FreeFlow__ I agree! I just heard his latest book. OMG, he is SO full of himself... And why is it that many of those "enlightened teachers" are always surrounding themselves with those Hollywood type people?
We'll never be able to express what is most important. First because there is no single thing and second, as soon as we try to isolate and prescribe that thing, it slips through our fingers and become untrue the moment it's given. So far what's worked for me and the folks I know is to take on suggestions and try them out with no expectation. As soon as I demand a particular result in the area of spirituality, multitudes of endless sidetracks pop up. There should really be no choice of direction when there is only one. Lovely chat.
Alanis you're so awesome! Love your podcasts! Thanks for being so yourself and raw and real and for all of your music, it really left a great impression on me. Thank you! :D
If your not happy 2 things alan watts said either you have it already or you do not know yourself.start to know yourself go to the forest and listen do not think and the answers will come
How did I land here? Oh, I know, I wanted to see Alanis Morissette...read some comments, if truth be known the best way to what they call enlightenment is silence...you are not anything you can point to, think about; you are not who you think you are, words IN A WAY make it infinitely difficult because all words are about concepts and what you are has nothing to do w/ concepts, thinking or w/ the mind. "Be still" is all that is required but it would not make a very good tv show..better than adyashanti (guru to the stars) is Nisagardatta, Ramana or even someone like O'Denvers "open intelligence." All you need by way of instruction is to keep your attention on the background, the interior, on the silence that 99.9% of people think is nothing; it is the "emptiness" that is the pearl of great price, the truth that sets you free, the narrow road that few be there that find it; stay there. Like the Bible says, it grows...ABIDE in the silence/the self/the I AM/the consciousness....stay there...
Essentially, you are correct, because it is that simple. But if it were that *easy* (not the same thing as simple) there would be no demand for teachers like Adyashanti or companies like Sounds True.
@@Morgan313 Ripening does need to take place, yes, and at the same time, most people only want to continually read or watch for spiritual entertainment purposes and not actually take action to meditate (non action) and abide in the Self. The earnestness to want to wake up is a whole different deal.
Chris Phippen You can’t expect to get fit by merely watching fitness videos, but most people need some assistance to get on their fitness journey. If you’re not committed to taking any action, nothing will change.

All are One, But some are more one then others" I start getting skeptic about "popstars" getting enlightened...If one lives long enough , we see the same things happening, only the faces and names chance. (for example ) The Beatles and "Maharishi Transcendental mediation" in the 60/70thies. Richard Gere and the Dalai lama, Etc,etc. While "Joe the plummer " has to buy expensive courses and retreats. The Rich and famous , seem to get to sit next to the " Enlightened Teacher" of choice. , Just like they get a table at every exclusive restaurant, or VIP treatment in every club, party, etc,etc. I do not see the difference... I got nothing against Alanis nor Adyashanti. Far from it. I like her music and Adyashanti 's talk. But...Who cares about Adyashanti relation with Alanis ?
It's a conversation to give people perspective. Yours now has apparently entered doubt. Maybe you can find some reason that you choose to doubt others through this. It is your perspective, after all. Many people may care a great deal about what seems trivial to you. Results may always vary. It's very adult to admit this.
It is what it is. Everyone's perspective varies. This was my observation at a particular moment about popstars and spirituality. it may surprise you that I like her music and i agree with his teachings. That does not mean i have to like all they do. trivial ....Yes, maybe that is the right word for this particular conversation. If it is not trivial for you. That's fine. But i do not make any assumptions about your state of mind or mindlessness . Doubts or faith. ". It is your perspective, after all".
I agree wholeheartedly with you! Plus ca change plus c'est pareil There is nothing new under the sun and so on and so forth Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it etc Animal Farm indeed
finally...someone who agrees. There are so many people who are convinced 'now'is the worst time ever...Or even more radical, 'the end of the world is coming because; 'look at all the wars an natural disasters' If we just take the first half of the 20th century. there was WW1, The great depression, the Spanish flu , and W.W.2 ( leaving out the huge earthquakes etc,etc Now i am a historian, so i realize i may look at things from a different perspective. But the things i mentioned above are ,or should be common knowledge. sorry,.i got carried away, haha
You obviously don't have the necessary background in concepts and terms that is needed to understand what they're talking about. Look for Alan Watts videos on TH-cam - he was great at explaining these things starting from normal language and moving to spiritual terms in a way that would produce understanding in pretty much anyone. When he talks about spiritual things it doesn't sound like bullshit and you don't have to be already initiated to understand the points being made.

Joe Caissy The only one conceited here is you, who will not accept the possibility that there are other explanations behind the terms used in the video that would make the conversation meaningful. You're just so damned convinced it's all worthless mumbo-jumbo that all you can do is hurl abuse in response. And the reason you got this way is precisely because of the Internet and how it works: how it allows you to isolate yourself in an echo chamber with those who tell you what you want to hear while still believing you're one who researches stuff before pronouncing conclusions and that therefore whatever opinions you already hold must necessarily be right. Get help with your anger issues (or just calm the fuck down and stop trying to seem smart in front of your "skeptic" peers), research Alan Watts, then we can talk.

Wow
Awesomely stated
Thank you for sharing your mental chew
I didn't plan on watching this, but I'm glad I did.
Congratulations Alanis. Its a great opportunity to be with a real enlightened teacher.
Always funny to see the missunderstanding of enlightenment. Who is enlightened?
@@FreeFlow__ Always funny to see the non-duality police in action ;) (yes you)
@@rasmus7400 So you actually see any enlightened teacher in any of those two EGO driven narcissists? Okay...

Beautiful talk Alanis. Loved these words, conversations about love... Peace... Fulfillment... Mean so much. Thankful for the human experience.

You know when u feel it
Alanis seems very reigned in here compared to her other interviews with Tami.
If your not happy 2 things alan watts said either you have it already or you do not know yourself.start to know yourself go to the forest and listen do not think and the answers will come
I would love if all the videos had subtitles so that everyone could understand all the deep messages of a lot of videos in TH-cam
So appreciative that I stumbled upon this video 🙏🏼

Everyone on that stage is bullshitting. Nonsensical conversations amongst a group of people who are desperately trying to sound deep.
