The Origin of Opposites

To be in life is to experience the interplay of opposites. While the maturing path of a human being involves discovering how to navigate and conjoin all forms of opposites, to go to the source of opposites is even deeper than conjoining. Adyashanti points to the “divine ground” and explores becoming immersed into this undifferentiated ground of being where a whole new potentiality arises.

Topics Include:

• The Abyss of Nothing
• The Undifferentiated Divine Ground
• Seamless Emptiness
• The Origin of Opposites
• The Connection between Divine Ground and Human Being
• Consciousness Recognizing Itself
• The Fear of Letting Go at the Precipice
• Wholeness vs. Perfection

Quotes:

“We can transcend the opposites to a space that’s beyond them. We can go to a place that’s the origin of the opposites, the place before they ever came into being.”

“In the divine ground, all distinctions coalesce into a seamless emptiness.”

“If the divine ground were innately self-aware from the beginning, the human wouldn’t be needed. This human role couldn’t be more important.”

“The divine ground is seeking to have the clearest possible experience of itself in form.”
