The Autonomy of Unified Spirit

Adyashanti presents a unified view that encompasses both the world of form and the realm of the absolute. He describes how the contradictions inherent in concepts of ego and no-ego, self and no-self create confusion in navigating through life. Authentic autonomy is the unity of relative and absolute; only when you go beyond all of the opposites can Spirit’s unique expression be born in you and as you. Email responses and call-in dialogues explore the chaos of relative transformation, being a portal through which the light of Spirit shines, and shifting from the inner critic into the way things really are.

Topics Include:

• Discovering Spiritual Autonomy
• The Polarity of Relative and Absolute
• Mistaking the Absolute View for the Totality
• Getting Lost in Openness
• Finding Direction in Unity
• Exercising the Muscle of Selflessness
• Dealing with Doubt
• The Deep Energyless Ground

Quotes from this Download:

“Beyond the duality of form and formless, absolute and relative, the world of nothingness and the world of somethingness are one thing.”

“It’s useful and important to have a sense inside yourself of moving through chaos with absolute truthfulness, integrity, and honesty. These are the energies that keep you from losing balance.”

“Part of being that spark of Spirit for each of us is that we’re also a link or a portal through which that light shines.”

“There’s a dimension of consciousness where everything seems like a lucid dream, like you could put your hand through anything.”

“By experiencing through the lens of the heart, there’s more of a dimension of concreteness and practicality.”
