Adyashanti - Rest As Awareness

[@Barttr1]

What a tremendous pointer! ❤ Thank you.

Its not his talking that is super easy. It is the presence that he bring with his words that people feel and gravitate towards. Anyone can say what he says, but people consciously and unconsciously feel an energy that accompanies his words that puts him apart.

[@LifeIsThePrayer]

Wonderful! Nothing needs to be done, nothing needs to be resisted. Effortless.

[@EricCarterspurio]

To Be in a world filled with stress is something that has to be cultivated in the nervous system. Although it is here and never was not... to truly experience Silence we have to let go of the stress of past impressions and of our environment. Every thought, action, or object in our environment is like a magnet that takes our mind from Pure Being and collapses it to a point.

[@eytschmaen]

What do you do? RELAX into it, meaning letting go.

[@foxdenham]

Thanks Adya… you never ‘give’ me anything! At best you simply resonate in my direction, so ‘things’ dissolve in and around me. My desire to understand is still alive and kicking but thankfully it’s on a hiding to nothing.😂 My current preoccupation is around the mystery of ‘knowing that I don’t know’ and even that is up for grabs… lol 😂 Crazy days! 🙏🏼 Cheers Bud.

To trust this present moment and the next and next is a mind- less state or a mindstate which is enlightened by the heart or lightcenter. In this experience as being just a bodymind and framed , there is no real rest...therfore the seeking in all dreamstates in Maya is unavoidable.. 2 find back urSelf...as what u were bevor...beauty...perfect peace...bliss...call it the perfect state. Thx 4 all the uplouds.. enjoying this talks❤❤❤ All great and beautyful magnifisant back❤

🤗🤗🤗🤗 APPLAUSE APPLAUSE FOR CLARITY AND SIMPLE RESTING AND LETTING BE IN AWARENESS

[@ST-ge4hh]

He's right.

[@dfernandez77]

Adyashanti to me is like reading Zhuangzi. At least two hearty chuckles and a couple "well of course, that's so obvious"'s in every 10 minutes. =D

[@nightspore123]

Good question. Ideally awareness should rest on itself. But if this seems meaningless or too difficult then choose something neutral for it to rest on, such as the breath. That's meditation. Whatever you choose it should be something which does does not evoke feelings of attachment or aversion.

[@clrviewfx]

This is it

[@leelanjoy]

My awareness LOVES to stay in the egoic mindstate to experience limitaions

[@margonaut]

pure wisdom thank you

[@gillumine]

Do it without the intention of money. Do it with the intention to bring peace and joy. See what happens.

[@AmberFlame1]

i don't think the word 'fucus' is used even once in this video, yet your mind hears it like that, it' cant imagine a state where it's not needed. But don't worry, it always takes time to really hear what is being said.

[@BayviewFinch]

I'd like to get out of debt asap, then just have enough money to support a family, living in a house or big apartment, being able to eat healthily, etc.

[@BayviewFinch]

A little, but mainly I just need to make a good living while helping people out by sitting in a chair in front of people, writing books, etc.

[@BayviewFinch]

People are attracted to me too. I just haven't been able to convert that into money too much.

[@letmeseethat1]

watch BASHAR aswell. He will answer many of these questions you may have.

[@cindye.410]

🙏

[@skribblebumpkins]

awesome

[@djehoti]

Thank you! Now if only I can stop my eyes from crossing, LOL

[@ezekiorage41]

At the end of the day we are all a bit egocentric

[@djehoti]

Is there any value placed on what one is aware of while resting as awareness?

[@sandwich451]

cool

[@BayviewFinch]

Do you ever get the idea that it's super easy to talk like Adya, Tolle, etc.? For me it might just be the problem of people actually taking me seriously.

[@claytonmoss1]

DO be do be do =frank sinatra

[@BayviewFinch]

Probably.

[@aishakhalique5845]

I am very on board with what is being said here, but at the end you say 'if you DID this one simple thing with consistency'. I am not trying to be smart here, as I understand the point being made, but I don't think there is any getting around the fact that if you are trapped in egoic thinking and identification you do have to do something to get out. Even if what you're doing is in essence an absence of doing, you still need to make some sort of conscientious effort to want to get away from your egoic mind, otherwise what stops the loop of the mind, which is almost automatic for many people? The effort may be so minimal it may be regarded as a lack of one, but it is still something in a way, Also in regards to being the watcher or the witness, again I get the point about it being a sort of egoic activity especially if you start to heavily identify and try to be it, but surely awareness can watch or witness things, and so watching or witnessing is still a quality of awareness even if that's not all there is to it. I just feel it is good to get clarity on this, as many people can end up confused, and then revert back to getting trapped in egoic activity. Nonetheless, a very good video.

I agree some of the pointers can be confusing I think it’s safe to say that thinking is an ongoing process even after awakening that won’t completely go away. For most the initial awakening is just that, it’s the beginning and there has to be some sort of practice to integrate this to the whole system and in every other aspect of our life
