Shifts of Orientation

Spiritual awakening is actually just the beginning of the awakening journey. At first, there is a shift of orientation from egoic consciousness to the transcendent reality of spirit. While this can be freeing, many grab onto—and hide within—this turn of identification. But there is another shift—a more mature expression of realization. Adyashanti reveals an orientation in which we fully embrace and engage with life from our truest nature, and recognize that each of us is always contributing uniquely to the world-at-large.

Topics Include:

• The Diminishment of Monastic Life
• Hiding in the Absolute
• The Self-Obsession in Trying to be Selfless
• Facing Life's Beauty and Tragedy
• A Shift at the Center of Regard
• Generational Energy Patterns
• Freeing the “Me” Identity

"Your mind can hide behind the absolute nature of reality to defend itself against life."

"We are never on the outside looking in. We're always on the inside."

"Everyone is like a radio broadcasting signal, transmitting their state of consciousness all around them all the time."
