The Phases of Awakening

Although there isn’t an absolute linear progression, there are common evolving states of consciousness that people encounter along the spiritual journey. This lucid retreat talk offers Adyashanti's direct guidance on recognizing transition points, stuck places, unconscious patterns, and apparent ending places that eventually give way to a mature integration into the fullness of being.

Topics Include:

• The First Realization
• The Empty Core
• Transitioning into Spirit
• The Sense of the Sublime
• Union of Personal and Divine Will
• The Collapse of the Spiritual Worldd

Quotes:

“The first movement beyond egoic consciousness is the realization of the witness.”

“You would think if you have the realization of non-division you would have the experience of non-division.”

“If you’re deeply absorbed into spirit, you will literally perceive and feel the entire world of form to be illusionary and unreal.”

“When our true nature finds its true place of sovereignty within us, it restores us on a human level to a level of dignity.”
