- This is a dialogue by Adyashanti with someone who feels that after having been in spiritual school for many many years, she has built "a big spiritual ego", maybe even "many of them" . The dialogue brought her back to the simplicity of direct looking at "what I am". It's a lighthearted conversation with humour while exploring the deepest question...
~ excerpted from The Fabric of Reality

-----------------------
"Universal consciousness is the underlying fabric of reality. All that comes into manifestation arises as an expression of this formless fabric, in the same manner in which dreams arise and express the unconscious mind. During this intensive we explore some of the startling and unexpected ways the fabric of consciousness works to create the world and your experience of it." ~ Adyashanti

Maybe the most lucid, mind blowing teacher of our age. Dear Adya..... a rare treasure of insight we need embrace here & now x
❤Love this video so much - so simple - so deep - so transforming and absolutely light and funny❤🎉THANK YOU ❤
Adya, gotta love him! Actually I have never had many or maybe any real spiritual visions or such like. And I have had the thought that maybe that is a good thing. I have studied spirituality, practiced, read etc. For years. I get what he means about Spiritual ego. It has all been a trip. And here I am still looking with millions of thoughts interfering, ha!
Brilliant, simply brilliant. I couldn't stop laughing at the honest simplicity of it all. Thank you🥰
Beautiful! Clean,sincere, truth as it is. Thank you! I admire so much your capacity to be very simple but deep at the same time, without useless words!
Adya,as always, totally lifts my day and reminds me of what's real when I find myself struggling with all the junk in the world. Thank you Adya!
This is such an enlightening conversation! Thank you!
Good one Kung Wu. Love Adya but like this one, some really stand out and embody what he’s about as well as what we’re about.
Bless you!🌺
Wow...
I now just want to play with adya in a sandbox 😍😌

So if there's nothing, what does the conditioning?
To the conditioned/familiar mind, it's "nothing". To the "nothing" itself, it's aliveness; it's indescribable; it's simply aware... Another familiar word for this "nothing" is "spirit"...

@@KungWu Thank You.
You're very welcome. Your presence is deeply appreciated. 🙏
@@KungWu Kung Wu, Am I the thinker of my thoughts? It feels like there is a controlling center in my body pushing the thoughts and feelings out and that I am that controlling center.
Can you really control what thoughts to have and when to have those thoughts? Or do thoughts just arise spontaneously (when you do not do intentional thinking for functioning)?
What is aware of all of your experiences, including thoughts, feelings and sensations?
True answers are only in your direct experiences. Maybe check out an exercise from Adyashanti's recent book "The Direct Way: Thirty Practices to Evoke Awakening" at our facebook page: facebook.com/groups/directway/posts/569656507879790
This is the first exercise in the book and it happens to be about what you are asking. As Adyashanti introduced the book: "These are the most fundamental, concise, one-pointed, and immediate form of The Way of Liberation teachings - the activity of self-realization or awakening itself."
You can also find some free content of this book (including the first exercise) on Google Books (by searching "The Direct Way by Adyashanti" at books.google.com/).
