From Disturbed to Astonished

When we encounter the deeper reality of our being -- that One alone exists -- many experience a disturbing sense of loneliness or disconnection. Adyashanti reveals how to move through this often disturbing aspect of truth to the astonishing connectedness that is possible when the Absolute flows into action on our human journey. This satsang explores aspects of aloneness and relationship, and includes a poignant collective prayer for those who are feeling desperate and disconnected in their spiritual journey.

Topics Include: Aloneness and Connectedness / A Mythological Metaphor for Unity / The Weirdness of Oneness / Penetrating the Veil of Consensus Reality / Obsession and Projection in the Helping Professions / Wisdom and Love Are Not a Doormat / The Importance of Respect / When Projection Runs Relationships / Seeing Each Other in Our Totality

Quotes from this Download: “Reality gives us a real clarity about what is healthy and unhealthy, and what to do about it.” • “Thought is an amazing creative force, and a double-edged sword. If you’re not careful, it starts to use you rather than you using it.” • “It’s a profound human accomplishment to see each other as real and not just our projections of each other.”
