True Solitude

Finding true solitude is an essential part of the spiritual journey. It is the kind of solitude that puts you into an immense silence—a vastly different experience from being alone, lonely, or disconnected. In this talk, Adyashanti points to the real solitude that is free from the content of our psyche but creates no separation with it. From this place, life moves in an entirely different way.

Topics Include:

• A New Sense of Aloneness
• Not Dividing Awareness and Mind
• Seeing through the Narrator
• Being Emptied Out
• The Spiritual Desert
• Beyond Opposites of Heaven or Hell
