The Mosaic of Self

What do you find when you look for yourself? In this meeting that explores his central teaching, Adyashanti invites us to truly contemplate what we commonly refer to as “self.”  He illustrates how we conjure up identity out of the elements of our physical and psychological nature, like the many small pieces in a mosaic gives the illusion of an image. But when we discover directly that there is no self to find, the search stops, and we awaken to a greater sense of peace and quiet.

Topics Include:

• Self Is a Process
• Are “You” There?
• Seeing Yourself as a Mosaic
• Awakening and Memory
• Going into the Void
• Truth Transcends Words
• Spiritual Autonomy
• Inquiring into Doership

Quotes:

“When you really look for yourself, there’s no rabbit in the hat.”

“As soon as you see that everything in your life isn’t really there, then your consciousness stops doing the U-turn.”

“If there’s a journey, it’s not from ‘here to there’; it’s from ‘there to here.’”

“Everyone should find within themselves what’s trustworthy. The more you do it, the more you discern that which gives direction.”
