Living the Paradox (Excerpt)

Is everything perfect, or is everything a mess? Yes. Adya points to our depth of being-a place deeper than the drive for happiness or ease-and how we are both this depth and the surface self that is engaged with survival. Excerpted from August 19, 2017, Oakland Meeting, “Coming Down the Mountain ~ Living the Enlightened Paradox”: bit.ly/3LAzQS2

Quote from this Video: “Is everything perfect? Or is it actually a mess? Are we essentially, absolutely whole and complete? Or are we the little human beings always on this process of evolving into what we could become? Which one is it? The mind wants to know. With deep experience, we start to see more and more that it’s actually both.” adyashanti.org

Once, over 20 years ago, laying in my bed with a slipped disc in my vertebrae, i yelled out: ‘God why did you made it so and at the same time, God, it can’t be otherwise’. (That was my discovery)

I was thinking that without the experience of the illusion of separation we would never experience what it means to be illuminated .

[@susanwale8887]

So well said Adya, loved all comparisons and explanations. It makes life laughable. ❤😂

[@robertleslie5741]

Maybe to be at peace means we neither love nor hate for to do one gives rise to the other....and the war begins

Wonderful talk, thank you. Great dream! Check out the 2006 movie Idiocracy, you will laugh some more. But ... part of life on Earth is also processing psycho-trauma. Knowing all is one is spiritually true and a source of peace, but should not be used to suppress unprocessed pain, anger and trust-issues. Psychological awareness and growth is as important as earning a living, working together, nourishing your health, body and needs, and as spiritual awareness, meditation and experiencing the wholeness in any paradox.

[@ultimatemeaning]

Total misconception of the meaning of Karma, but that isn't surprising it is a major obstacle for many westerners. A correct understanding of karma isn't feeling one is being blamed, or that one is a "shit". A correct understanding of karma leads to total acceptance.

[@luismoref]

Exactly, but as he said in the video that misconception is how the majority sees karma.

[@stanilindbeck2180]

[@annstar4306]

Hahajahaha 🤣
