Perceiving from the Unknown

When the mind experiences the unknown rather than thinks about it, it is a vista of space. There is a profound quietness and stillness because it is not filled with what it thinks it knows. It is going beyond our worldviews and concepts of ourselves that reveals the divine ground of being. In this satsang, Adyashanti sparks the impulse within to recognize the limitations of mind and perceive from the spacious unknown; it is here where we can access the direct perception of God experiencing God.

Quotes from this Download: "The unknown is not the mythical state you find in great rapture. It's what the imaginary self orbits around." • "The real job of any spiritual teacher is not to give good answers but to question your answers. The answer is the viewpoint that obscures the truth." • "Any idea that could come up about yourself could never be yourself." • "The falling away of self is the falling away of your inner world."
