An Intimate Turning Within

Adyashanti offers an important foundation for understanding his teaching in this clear and practical talk. Describing the two ways of utilizing awareness when “looking within,” he makes an important distinction between the two types of self-knowledge. He also advises, “When you look within, throw out all authority figures, including me. You have to be completely 100% with your own experience, not chasing somebody else’s experience.” The broadcast continues with heartful dialogues about bridging the gap between the relative and the absolute.
