A Deeper Level of Connection

Often we find it easier to feel our connection with the divine when we are not interacting with other people; we may start to relate to others from our personality structure instead of from direct experience. In this diverse program, Adyashanti emphasizes and illuminates the importance of orienting our lives around our essential unity. He also addresses how to be receptive to the depths of grace, the transformative potential of feeling broken by life, the impulse of reality to become completely self-aware, and how to operate in all situations through a resonance with conscious connection.

Topics Include:

• Trusting Grace More and More
• Acknowledging What Feels Broken
• Stepping Backwards Out of Your Own Definition
• The Concept of Love vs. the Experience of Love
• Seeing the Buddha in Other People
• The Gift of Feeling Broken
• Beyond Positive and Negative
• When All of the Opposites Collapse
• What Everything Is Made Of
• Orienting around Connectedness

Quotes from this talk:

“Love, happiness, gratitude, joy, peace, serenity—these aren’t things, but they’re very real. Grace is of the nature of these kinds of experiences.”

“There’s something of you that life can’t break. The most difficult moments in your life cannot destroy it.”

“It can be a little disconcerting to see that you as you have known yourself are literally not there.”

“Remember, it’s your life. Go with what resonates for you.”

“And so we come full circle, like breathing in and breathing out—no separation between our absolute nature and the human life.”
