Fear: Gatekeeper of Awakening

Adyashanti identifies different types of fear and how psychological trauma-based fears may need to be addressed differently than existential fears. “If you lump all fears together, you may be dealing with your fear in an unwise way.” Adyashanti also responds to an emailed question and dialogues with callers from New Zealand, British Colombia, and Pennsylvania.

Topics Include: Psychological vs. Existential Fear, How to Live by “Thy Will,” What Causes Fear to Recycle?, Intuition and Decision Making, Dry and Boring Awakening, Letting Go of the “No-Self” Identity

Quotes from this Download: “Have you noticed that some of our greatest leaps in becoming more conscious were moments we would say were 'mistakes?' That doesn’t mean we want to keep repeating them. But if we’re not really conscious, life has to put us in more difficult situations, to play hard ball with us. When we’re more in cooperation with life it doesn’t have to get so hard with us. Eventually we’re in union with it.”

"There’s nothing vague about intuition. It’s a deep form of intelligence completely connected to the whole."
