Waking Up from Identification

In response to many emailed questions, Adyashanti elaborates on two fundamental aspects of awakening: going beyond ego (no longer identifying with self-image) and going beyond self (the wearing down of the self-referencing mechanism of consciousness). This hour-long talk is followed by an email response and dialogues with callers.

Quotes from this Download: "It's not the thing that disappears, it's the identification that disappears." • "That which we’re naturally drawn to do tends to be more powerful than anything we decide to do." • "The reason for anything happening in this moment is literally everything that’s happening everywhere." • "It’s important to live the realization on a day-to-day, moment-to-moment basis. We may not be ready to be true to the truth, to hold absolute integrity with what we’ve realized."
