Joining with Reality

At the instant you join with reality, there is always a sense of relief. Always. You’re no longer struggling or fighting against the way life moves. In the 2014 Copenhagen Intensive, Adyashanti helps strip away our resistance to any life experience—no matter how fierce, threatening or disenchanting. It is only in joining with reality that we encounter the profound sense of freedom and divinity that we come to recognize as our true natural state.

Quotes from this Download Set: 

“Awareness is already allowing everything to be...it can’t do otherwise.”

“Inquiry is not meant to get a nice distinct answer; it’s meant to show you your conclusions and show you that your conclusions aren’t really true.”

“Spiritual revelation is about tasting the reality of something, not getting the right conclusion.”

“There’s love whenever we join with what is.”

“Any moment you join with reality, there is freedom. It doesn’t mean you have to like or agree with what you join with. You can still join with it. And that’s freedom.”
