Adyashanti - When Spirit Wakes Up

adyashanti.org - Adyashanti discusses spiritual awakening as the dormant spirit that wakes up within you. He addresses the feeling of insufficiency that so often drives spiritual seekers to try to wake up, and yet it is spirit itself that actually becomes conscious and awakens.
Video Excerpted from “Conscious Freedom” (DVD #49):

Quotes from this Video:
“When the spirit that lies dormant in you wakes up, which means it becomes conscious, that’s what awakening is.”
“The odd thing about spiritual awakening is that the thing that wakes up is not the thing that is searching.”
“The more you run toward sufficiency, the farther away it seems to be.”

Once I came out of an all day class around 6pm in the autumn. I had a complete sense of adequacy. I had no desire to go home which is totally rare. I felt adequate in every cell of my body. So I decided to drive around the city for a while. I had NEVER felt this complete sense of adequacy in my life. I'm talking about being physically safe and totally able to protect myself. I've had dozens of spiritual experiences but only one like this.

Bless you man, from me Nathaniel in Manchester UK, I am going through an awakening now, I tried all my life to reach it, and then realised I couldn't avoid it! . I always looked to other people for permission, but I have seen now beyond Fear/denial/project. We are the Authority The all thing. It doens't matter if we don;t realise it, it wil be reaaled as it's the real. . What you said was really beautful. It is not the thing that searches that finds. I woulld laugh of spiritual teachers now that I know the spirit is the universe, but it's things like that this that haven always inspired me to continually looking.

[@bond872]

Can you explain what you saw?? What happened?? Who was there?? Or its just Energy???

[@laavanya9584]

So beautiful....this is information that many mass market/main stream gurus and/or spiritual teachers do not ever talk about. Thanks so much!

There will come a time when being awareness is your natural state of being there will be no effort, And thoughts are like a passing breeze, They come and they go from time to time

Ego plays no role once it realizes it has no role. Until then, it does a great job at pretending!

[@humanoid144]

if ego had no role it wouldn't exist

The word he was looking for is screwed. When Spirit wakes up 'you' are screwed.

[@cassianhumphreys7571]

Indeed until it comes through, until ego dissolves in its presence. We are screwed...🤣

[@markduncan-brown4717]

Thank you . For this.

[@atmannityananda-autognosia]

Insufficiency is a vital emotional state which is created by the lower ego (Which is of vital nature). More precisely the lower ego itself assumes the form of insufficiency. The end of this ego (the dissolution of this vital structure in our psyche) it is the end of the sense of insufficiency.

[@user-yk9sk7pg6v]

Thank you :)

[@We-Do-NOT-Consent-303]

He is right. The guy who is running after enlightenment and trying to catch it somehow, you wake up from that guy and then you relax. Enlightenment is just relaxation. Deep relaxation. And you can't do it, because while relaxing you will be checking if you are relaxed enough to be enlightened. It has to be authentic relaxation with no goal......That is why Papaji said, stop the search!

[@azimshabestary6411]

One energy always passive and active together,now we’re in active mode and can’t feel the passive mode but the passive mode is an unbelievable mysterious thing so stop everything to become the passive mode.

[@imeldaclay1094]

Thank you! Lately I am having a great time in my life, being alive. Still have a problem when it comes to making decisions for my future. I just dobt know how to choose in the "now", becouse I cant just say; hay, take it easy, it will be fine... to a person who is waiting for my answer about me participating in something in the future...

[@chrismail]

You can deal with future in brief moments every day, and then return to the now. The now is not a doctrine to take you away from past/future and force you not to cincider them again.

[@rajwinderlubana5917]

Learning to live in the moment is not the purpose we’re here for. It’s to bring majority of us who are suffering from the disease of bad ego to well being (normalcy). Bad ego is part of the mind that’s in constant comparison with somebody, something, a bag full of memories, beliefs, identities, victimhood, grandiosity stories). Living in the moment has become so huge as it can teach us slowly who we’re not ( it’s like how while we get treated for a serious disease in a hospital, we put our career, business or future plans on hold for the time being and focus entirely on our health as we know without good health we can’t proceed, we can’t create anything) Similarly when we’re learning to live in the moment, we’re healing and recovering from the disease of bad ego. I believe once you have more control over your mind, you can start creating, future planning and have solid moments of living in the present alternatively until living in the moment becomes our default mode, just like how you can start part time job as soon as you start regaining your health back. Remember our ultimate goal is to create, create from a place of least ego and most spaciousness. Ego(mind)is a bad master but the best servant.

There’s nowhere to get to. You’re it. You’ve always been it. You’ll always be it.

[@whalhard]

I feel more like people are the dormant part of consciousness

[@markbrad123]

It does make Sutta though. Thinking cant help but wonder a mapping to following the blissing. If nobody wrote Sutta there wouldn't be any infinite portals to help others, or Adya talks.

[@Mariuszzboczek-ok6dc]

Why i cant be that? I Think im that

[@FilmBritt]

Is a being awake if consciousness is lost in dreams at night instead of being awake in them?

[@blogobre]

My own experience has been that if you quiet your mind enough you'll have what are like dreams whilst your conscious. Hope that helps

[@go6756]

If it is dormant & the one that searches is not the one that is waking up.. do they kind of have different consciousness but united in a way?

[@DaveIrish66]

Consciousness is actually waking up through you. Consciousness is universal and not personal.
