Allowing Everything To Be as It Is (Excerpt)

- adyashanti.org - Is it possible to “allow everything to be as it is,” even when you are in the midst of suffering? Adyashanti discusses this foundational teaching and how it is often overlooked because it sounds so simple. While this teaching appears to be straightforward, to actually embody it takes humility and the curiosity to discover what it truly means.
Excerpted from the May 13, 2020 Broadcast, “An Intimate Connection with the Essential”:

Quotes from this Video:
“Almost every form of human suffering has a strong element of you being disconnected from something that feels important.”
“At the end of the day, 95% of our suffering is optional. It is caused, in large part, by our resistance to what is-either pushing against something or grabbing hold and identifying with something.”
“My interpretation of ‘be still’ is ‘allow everything to be as it already is.’”
“When you allow everything to be as it is, all of a sudden there is this profound and beautiful intimacy with everything.”
“When we are allowing everything to be as it is, there is nothing that is fracturing our experience into preferable or not preferable, into ‘I want this’ or ‘I want that.’ All at once, our experience just unifies.”
When I was a child my grandmother would tell me "Be still". 40 years later, down my spiritual path, I'm finally beginning to understand what she really meant.
The positive is you finally got it, most never get it. Congratulations to you!!

Indeed, thank you. I feel very fortunate. ♥️🙏
The habit of resisting the present moment is so strong we need to 'renew' our decision to 'Allow everything to be as it is' ... every few moments. One moment you may have it, then resistance comes back in, then you must allow it to be as it is once again, then resistance comes back in. Etc, etc. . It's really something which can be developed through practice, but practice based on relinquishing resistance rather than any sort of will-power.
I noticed that not having to defend a position is such a relief....disagreement becomes a joke instead of a drama.
Love it when Adya creates "space" between the words in his teachings...
I hear my own beautyful enlightened voice❤❤❤Aum Shanti Aum❤
This was very eyeopening and powerful teaching for me. I have really tried to reach this acceptance " to let everything be at it is" and not worry about my illness. I discovered that the more I worry the more my worrying feeling grows and sometimes ends up in a panic and I feel even worse. Listening to this teaching really drag be "back" to the earth so to say. In the end when Adyashanti said, "Just stop". I really stopped and I felt stillness I haven't felt in a long time. Thank you from the deepest of my heart.
Every word you said:)

I think this is why it’s hard to go to bed sometimes. I don’t want to really stop.
“Don’t just do something, sit there!” Not so easy!
@@GratefulZen Isn't it funny how tough it is to just sit and be?
Divine Humanity Really! Anxieties, restlessness, “shoulds” just start bubbling up!
@@GratefulZen Yep. Let them bubble. What I've learned is that if they're meant to bubble, they will. And as long as they are meant to bubble and how intensely they are meant to bubble is not within our control. All we do is sit back and watch the show :)
Divine Humanity What’s the title of the show, High Anxiety?
Only these people like adyshanthi can save the present world.
You and he are one
Nothing needs to be saved. Everything is as it is. Stop.
@@AndiGee exactly
The world doesn't need to be saved. Allow everything to be as it is. 😛
No one is coming to save us, and so, we must have ourselves.
The ending, especially felt so great! I was listening at first while making my bed. When you suggested the idea of considering that we might not even know what it means… what anything really means, I felt so relaxed. I felt relief in not having to know. I sat down, closed my eyes, my breathing slowed and I could feel a physical opening of my heart!
❤️
Adya is about the only person in the world I feel is truly authentic. he is the bravest man I know because he is the simplest man I know. when I listen to him: it feels like home.
Mooji and Gangaji too...
@@lilmixdboy i don't know those two other men but i'm sure all 3 of them EMBODY the same force--the force that moves all of us but is truly realized by (still) too few of us
@@MarkKap yea gangaji is a female. They both on TH-cam
Yes, and Abraham Hicks.

Wow lots of light beaming out of this 💙
OH yes
wow, this might have been the first time in my life i stopped, while i thought i stop regularly. thankyou.
You are speaking to my soul. I contemplate this reality daily. Thank you for sharing your piece of enlightenment
The way he communicates really gets the message through
You know the truth by the way it sounds... x
To allow everything to be as it is requires you to see that there is no one to decide about leaving things as they are. It already is as it is before any decision would be made.
amazing this man is
this is perfect for 10min meditation. "Be still and know that I am God '' - Psalm 46:10
I have been getting intuitive messages for a long time now..in a meditation about who i am I kept hearing Ashanti........so of course i googled and utubed it and of course can up w the old singer...I just now came across these videos..and I know this is where it was leading me...I keep telling everyone i keep hearing be still....my inner higher self tells me be still constantly. Thank you so much
Wow!!!!! The last seconds of this video are amazing! It's a transmission!
Yes. And I closed my eyes to feel it fully and when I opened them the video was finished. I felt like a kid who had continued to stay upright on my bike after the grown up had let go. Beautiful.
I stumbled over this 7 years ago when you were talking about “the middle way”. This to me is still one of the most profound truths there is. I think it’s why your Audible “true meditation” rings so true for me and is such a relief.❤️🙏🏼
His book about meditation really clarifies "how to actually meditate."
When I allow, then within it I find my mind trying to manipulate. If I get comfortable with something I was fighting, my mind comes in and says, “if I get comfortable and accept this, THEN it’ll change”. So I watch my mind trying to change it by not trying to change it. Then I watch my mind getting mad at myself for all the manipulation and for not being farther along on the path. Grrrr.
Definitely the hardest thing in this world is our responsibility toward others and the body. To realise we have to still traverse this physical life after realising that we are heavenly souls that belong in heaven beyond the physical, is the hardest thing to bear. I cannot bear it.
There’s something I’ve always luv’d about Adya. He has this regularity about him that ironically gives you access to this wisdom.
i think it basically means - - to understand that control is an illusion. You can't control your universe and "make it better"...so chill out, let go and enjoy the show!. What you look at as a "bad event" might be good for you in the long run, In fact it alsmot always is so let go and let things happen as they come to you. Observe the show and chill out.. You don't see it but you are where you're supposed to be. Stay present and just look, hear and breathe.
5:57 that sound effect opened the universe.
Absolutely wonderful... those moments you pause in complete stillness... gold. We love you Adya, thank you for Being! ~/|\~
谢谢!
When I attempt to truly allow things to be as they are I meet a lot of fear. There is a tremendous fear that if I allow things to be as they are then nothing will change for the better. Or that I won’t take any action to change things, like go to protests or clean my room, or bathe. Part of me knows this probably won’t happen, but still there is SO much fear.
If you haven't already, please read "Letting Go" by Dr David R. Hawkins to learn how to deal with this fear. He had helped me tremendously with the same thing. I was not able to accept the present moment because of that fear and many other attachments, and since I followed his advice I am peacful and happy with whatever life brings. Read the book and see for yourself. Much love!
You might Like Byron Katie .
Fear has been ingrained in our collective consciousness. Look for this changing from fear to faith. Explore what it means to be still, for you, he says. "Dare I do that for a second or two?" It's deep. Listen again.💚
Maybe allow the fear to be as it is too, and see what happens.
@@joajoajbThank you for this teaching.
Genius In it’s simplicity & delivery.
And Adya’s effortlessly Gracious manner is a tangible energy of humility and kindness felt in droves as he speaks .... maybe the ultimate teaching. X
During this time of having fought all my life i come to the conclusion that thinking has kept me from feeling what will happen in my body. So beautiful to hear this Adyashanti.
Love you, Adya!
Profound. So much needed. Thankyou. 🙏
Thank you from the bottom of my heart...
Simple but powerful, thanks
Thank you for this. I think I need to listen to it every day.
I saw this at just the right time. Extremely powerful transmission of peace. Thank you so much.🙏💐
Thank you, Adya.
So good. Thank you adya
I have been practicing silent vigil. I acknowledge what is, allow it, then let it pass. I did this the other day when I saw a truck that was advertising the person’s beliefs that appear racist. It was a great practice and I was able to let go of judgment. It set me free.
adyashati lord of spiritual materialsm of mind
Thank you soo much.
Listened to this at least a thousand times...and still not sure what it means to stop...thanks for sharing the greatest wisdom...
@3:20…
“When movement stops,
There is no movement;
And with no movement,
There is no stopping.”
@@mat.se57 profound...thank you 🙏
@@mat.se57 Wow!... Thank you
Thank you!
I got hypnotized listening to this.
Beautiful. Really beautiful 🙏 I honestly hadn’t realised I assumed I knew what it meant…and I know that when I don’t know (!) and genuinely accept that I don’t, only then do I have the slightest chance of actually finding out. Well, there’s my invitation….the ending…beautiful! Thank you Adya.
Thank you, thank you
This stops me on track of incessant thinking... Feels like powerful transmission...
Thank you 🙏
Thanks Adya. A true Zen Master. ❤❤❤
Fabulous.
Great video 🙏
WOW favorite one
Goooood🙏❤️
Lovely! And well-needed. Thank you Adya. When you just STOP, my breathing stopped, I smiled and was at peace. I'll practice this today.
Thank you
Thanks
Very useful for me thanks
So true!!
Excellent
well said Adya, impeccable timing... as I was just in meditation and observing this presence in awareness observing the aggressive tendency toward the neglect of that part of ourselves that may-or may not feel it didn’t show up. That it didn’t open enough, say enough, do well enough, be well enough, remain calm enough, remain understanding enough, love enough, write truthfully enough. It’s a powerful perspective to boil down the supposedly self betterment motivation behind these perspectives , and see the ruthless prowess speaking underlying , you are not enough, you did not meet the moment 🌺
Gracias
Thank you, for being and sharing. I accidentally had Auto-play on and I came here from another window to turn it off and continue what I was doing, then I noticed the title, and allowed it to be as it is. :) I always get a shot of giddiness and joy when recognizing the universe's clever communication skills,
Having a really bad couple of days… Thank you
How are you now? Sending you a big hug! 🫂
Wow…Just wow.
Thank you so much. As the "I" loses its power, the I refocuses on the world around me, and it seduces me into trying to change it. I watch this from another view, fully aware that its my ego that desires change, but unable to stop it. When I let go, I see the lineage of suffering handed down from moment to moment and see no fault, no blame, nothing besides cause and effect playing out. It still brings up pain, but there isn't that forceful anger and desire to change behind it. Everyday brings grace in forms I cannot expect, and your video was just that.
My whole path summed up in a few minutes... Simple but hard! So much resistance to so many little things.
Really love this. And the gift of enquiry that he so wisely offered, and I accepted. What a gift. Thank you. 💛💛
Ahaha ! So to the point ! Sooooo true ! Allowing life but in order for it to transmute based on our superficial allowance !
If you're sick, your sick, if you're in poverty, you're in poverty, if you're in a privileged, protected situation, it's easy to be above it all.
Typical anti-white male rhetoric that's everywhere these days. Look into the story of Eckhart Tolle...he was about ready to kill himself and then had a huge opening. If you're suicidal, you're suicidal.
Very ignorant and divisive comment ..but when you’re angry, you’re angry, when you’re ignorant, you’re ignorant, when you’re afraid , you’re afraid. Wisdom such as this has helped me through real poverty. Being still has helped me not add fuel to the fire of my own mental health sickness..wisdom like this has helped me understand that money and privilege will not grant you peace and joy. I wish you love and peace my friend.
I would recommend Mooji (or Papaji) to listeners who can’t help but judge the “privilege” of the speaker and can’t even listen to the message. Mooji isn’t white and is from India so maybe he will fit and check off your identity politics mental checklist. But he is male, so if that doesn’t do then there’s Gangaji. She is white however so you might just be out of luck if that still isn’t good enough. Lmao smh...
Yeah. I like that! Nice!
yes
Gj! U nailed it!
This just popped up here ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is one of the most powerful videos I’ve ever seen.
Just being. To stop. I believe it works, and inside, I know it does. But it does more than “work”, it heals, it mends, it allows. It is.
I feel kind of tickling out laughter......direct contact......
🙏
You should only stop after your basic needs of food and shelter are met. If you’re working a job you hate but can’t quit because you have no other source of income you will have anxiety. I was only able to stop after achieving passive rental income.
How did you achieve that? I don't want to be rich, I just don't want to be a slave.
This is the bottom line of life!
I use this as a reminder when I get out of whack lol. I love how he takes it to a deeper level and understanding in his own creative way of explaining it. Why we love Adyashanti. 🙏
But how do you allow everything to be as it is when the thing you have to allow is your resistance against allowing what is?
I am still, happy, accepting and noticing our planet going into a prison environment.
Yep, I dont think accepting everything as IT IS, becoming wet lettuce is helpful. Great deception of the new Agenda.
The gurjieffian exercise The Stop exercise. The hardest thing about meditation is that it is so simple

Actually answered a question I had today. Thank you so much for sharing 🙏 ❤️ 🙏 ❤️ 🙏
Hmmmm. :-)
Thank you.
For those of us who have a profession that involves extreme swings of emotions on a minute to minute basis (poker players, stock market traders, professional athletes) this advice is invaluable. Thanks
@Urayis wish l You clearly know nothing of the world of trading Stocks, Forex, Crypto, etc. lol...
❤️
I notice allowing things to be as they are means to acknowledge I don't have the power to change things as they are righr now... ego doesn't like it, because it feels unsafe just being at the receiving end of what happens right now...
What about trying to not allow things like the Holocaust, other forms of abuse/violence? Accept the reality but act to change/stop injustices?
Disconnection with reality is the problem. Reality is what god actually is.
Wow
You creat it before it is.
I would have to say when that happens, the meaning of courage occurs. And, it's not under discussion anymore.
I'm just saying!!
🌼🦋🌸
Masterful...
Wow! Unbounded love from me fine Sir.
Allowing those scared parts of you that are terrified not to be able to allow things as it is, that's the tricky part. Once you can do that and keep allowing the panic to not fuck it up to be as it is.. I'm afraid right now.
This video stopped me using drugs to change the way I felt
This is a tricky one because the '' I '' cannot do it .. :)
You can because you just have to train it.
yeah well that sure doesn't help when you are in pain! peace out~
Hi, has anyone here overcome trauma from childhood bullying? It has followed me into my adulthood where I've allowed people to manipulate, abuse, or mistreat me in romantic relationships. I'm aware that the rejection from childhood has stuck with me but I don't know how to rid this energy from my body. I'd love some help and kindness❤
