Living from Intuitive Wisdom

In this classic broadcast from 2008, Adya invites us to move from being to being-in-action, allowing the wisdom that comes from wholeness into our day-to-day existence. He explores two forces we encounter—being driven by the ego and yearning toward the sacred—and invites us to realize that our true nature is beyond the dualism of these two forces. In dialoguing with callers, he addresses topics from basic meditation to operating from an awakened state of consciousness.

Topics

• Opening to Heart Wisdom
• Relinquishing the Controller
• Adapting to a Different State of Consciousness
• Trusting Intuitive Wisdom
• Life: The Ultimate Adventure

Quotes

“Until you come to a place where you make peace with these forces, these types of consciousness within yourself, then you’ll be pulled around by them.”

“Moving from being into being-in-action is something that confuses a lot of people—it demands a much deeper listening, a much deeper letting go, a complete letting go, even letting go of any attachment or holding on to being itself.”

“The most important thing is to let go of trying to figure everything out that keeps you in the dream state, that keeps you in the mind state.”

“By trying to have control, trying to remain in control, you blind yourself to this deeper, amazing intuitive wisdom that comes right out of emptiness, right out of silence.”

“Just because you awaken to the great spaciousness and silence and simplicity of being does not necessarily mean you’ve awoken to prajna, to that great flow of existence—being coming into form, being coming into activity.”

“Intuitive wisdom isn’t something you’re taught. It’s something that comes in flash. That’s the quality of insight—it has that sense of ‘aha’ because it isn’t a product of sequential thinking.”

“The real surrender is the surrender of all identities.”
