The Luminous Thread of Reality

In this signature talk, Adyashanti describes the full journey of spiritual awakening. He begins with the distinction between the arising of the sense of self and the construction of ego. He then explores piercing through the veil of ego, dissolving the self, and finally returning to the luminous, dark, and infinite thread of reality that is always pulling us through the entire journey. 

Topics Include:

• Luminous Infinity
• The First Sense of Self
• The Construction of Ego
• Availing to Grace
• Piercing the Veil of Ego
• When the Open Aperture Closes
• Two Streams of Spiritual Awakening
• What Is Self-Reflection?
• Beyond the Universal Self
• Letting Go of Old Identity
• Not Fighting the Mind

Quotes from This Download:

“A thimble full of reality is worth more than universes full of illusion.”

“Getting through the image of ego is one thing, getting through the raw energy of it is something else.”

“The capacity for self-reflection is the capacity for the infinity to see itself everywhere. It’s not ‘you’ that’s seeing itself—it’s the all seeing itself.”
