- Our seeking permanence in life-whether in outer or inner experiences-often leads to dissatisfaction until we break free from this cycle of desire. Excerpted from February 22, 2017, Online Broadcast, “The Immediacy of Awareness”: bit.ly/3O8FHyo

Quote from this Video: “All experiences eventually wash away, leaving you wanting more of that experience in the great hope that someday, when you have that experience again, whatever that deep enriching spiritual experience might be, you will find some way to make it everlasting.” adyashanti.org

Keep letting go into the stillness of your being to discover the source of peace. You got this!
Wow! ❤ Yes! If I am desiring anything to be other than it is, externally or internally, I will suffer.......Thank u......excellent pointer
Seeking at a certain point is suffering
Yeah. I love this. Kenneth McLeod, a Vajrayana Buddhist writer and translator, translates the word Dukkha as struggle, and not the typical translation - suffering. I think this is a really important shift in perspective. It is about finding a way of letting go of the struggle with what already is. Maybe it's just me but the notion of "letting go of suffering" almost seems to imply that we're aiming for states with less misery...
No, as you said above, any kind of striving, any struggle with where we are right now is a kind of difficulty we can let go of directly.
Thanks for sharing.
as long as we are in the world dissatisfaction will occur. no way around it. even enlightened beings experienced this when in the world. it is possible to recognize it and relate with it, but not to get rid of it.
The cycle of dissatisfaction has very much been my experience. At a certain point in one's life, endlessly wave-hopping on the surface of the ocean ceases to satisfy and a longing to take a deep dive into the innermost depth of the ocean spontaneously arises from within the heart. When that happens, nothing will ultimately be able to satisfy the heart until one reaches and makes contact with the very Source of the ocean.
Can't I have both? I suffered to much to not have nothing but God.
@@Lion-rf8xiGod/You are everything, including the surface, so nothing needs to be excluded, nor can anything be excluded.
Kind of feel I’m at this place now. So dissatisfied with the journey after 7 years of experience then lose of experience back into suffering
@@perandersson8001 Thanks Captain didn't realize I was talking to such an awakened being.
I dunno where your at but I'm sure not completely empty and completely full you'll probably have a ready made for that too then.
Sorry not sorry not sure my trust runs thin here in these days.
Thanks for letting me know I'm not separate never heard that one before real profound.
@@Lion-rf8xi I really don't know what you're talking about here. I got the impression that you believed that you have to sacrifice everything but God, and I said that it is not necessary nor even possible to exclude/sacrifice anything out of the wholeness of God.
The Truth is like the elephant in the room that everyone shields their eyes from. The wish to notice the elephant is that impulse. We are that elephant.
When i met my teacher (you know him and gave a talk with him) i only knew that i didn’t have to look anymore, no distractions, no holidays etc. Just knėw.
Thank you Adya, so helpful. Lots of love for ALL, especially if you're feeling lonely x

@@Adyashantithank you so much, thank you, i am in tears of gratefulness
GRACIAS Adya
Thank you so much 🙏🏻
Nothing will ultimately satisfy. Finally seeing this is a very weird place to be. There's nothing to go for.
Thank you
I thought I was rhe only one going through this cycle. It is frustrating sometimes. You feel like you got it, t next time it's gone. How does one find contentment 😢. I am the seeker.
Yes my life is quite chaotic, but maybe it's good for something ?!
Do you like Hegel mr. Adyashanti?
"Spirit is when finite selves become conscious of themselves as infinite; and when the infinite becomes self-conscious through finite selves. The phenomenology sets itself a double task: to lead naïve consciousness to philosophical knowledge and to lead individual consciousness to emerge from its would-be isolation - its exclusive being-for-itself - so as to raise it to Spirit." - Hegel
The thing is that we wrote the whole script, and movie , of this world..
And so we cannot be it's effect.
Enjoy the play, but don't take it seriously, or attach to what changes.
This is a long way of saying "don't try to grasp".
Eternal Impermanence
How does one let go of obsessive thinking ?
It is like we use " me " thoughts " for comfort and validation.
I guess thats why they write songs
Wait, so what’s the answer?
We never get one because there is none😅
Answer is "dont answer" 😃
