The Dissolution of Identity

There are two essential lines of development in the quest for enlightenment—the shift of self-identity followed by the dissolution of identity altogether. This talk addresses a similar theme to the previous day’s talk, “The Collapse of Ego.” Adyashanti focuses on the deeper aspects of his teaching as he explores the subtlety of the dissolution of self and the quiet, complete surrender through which all identity falls away.

Topics Include:
