🕉😀 THIS you must know about Pure Awareness for Your Spiritual Enlightenment - Adyashanti

How do we detach ourselves from our ego identity and experience the bliss of pure, pristine awareness? Spiritual Teacher with Zen Buddhism background Adyashanti speaks about the pure nature of awareness and how we can become enlightened. Highly recommendable!
Adyashanti says that it is very important that the spiritual seeker knows the difference between awareness and what arises within its field (thoughts, emotions, ego, mind, the material world, etc.). So if one wants to understand awareness better and e.g. learn how to deal with his unconsciousness then this distinction has to be very clear.
He goes on with saying that our suffering is due to the fusion of awareness with the content. If we could create space between us and our minds, if we could become more aware of our thoughts and the nature of our minds, then we could it would be easier for us to make the shift from personal ego identity to pure, blissful awareness.

Wow. Thank you so much for bringing this clarity to us🙏🌞🌸

[@doctorckrao]

Great explanation on the reality on awareness "Aham Brahmasmi". Its like searching for something living in the same thing all the time.

[@ALittleNobody]

This is a good one, indeed....... "This is one of the first things in spirituality that is essential, is to start to be able to make this distinction between the absolute pristine clarity of awareness and what arises within its field. Usually when people look towards their awareness, they've actually not looking to the awareness, they are looking to the content. When this fusion of awareness with its content really breaks, then our identity is no long found within the content. The pure awareness is actually what we are."

Aurelio, thank you for more this pearl you have selected. Rupert is my number one teacher and Adyashanti here is talking about the exact same thing. he does. There is only awareness and that is what are. Forget about the content.

[@quidjacques]

Yes, Lucia!

I'm glad it helped you Lucia:) Best Regards, Aurelio

[@ALittleNobody]

What is your understanding about the statement that the "content" is made of the awareness, which is the substance of all manifestations....? Both Rupert and Adya have said the same thing I remember.....

[@jamesthomas1244]

Ming, like in the dreams you had last night there was nothing there other than awareness. There was no "material" other than conscious-awareness as the observer and observed (content). Kind of like how an iceberg floating in an ocean, is really all just water. Does that make sense?

[@AurelioYuga]

The trance... is something I thought was my real state of being.. now I kind of get it... Im in a trance when Im indetified with my mind....

'Awareness was never hidden, you never had to produce it, you never had to deserve it, you never had to get into some state of samadhi. It was always there.' 'This pure awareness is actually what we are.' #Adyashanti

[@lookingforoneness9708]

this is not true. In my case I am not aware of being aware. So the truth of what adya is talking about is NOT true for me, but p[erhaps in a future state when I practice being aware of awareness for a couple of more years. or motnhs

[@WhyRushHomie]

Looking for Oneness not trying to come off like a dick but you’re lost bro. Take this with a grain of salt: Once you accept that you’re lost, you stop and just look around, so do that. You can’t “look for oneness.” You’re trying to touch the tip of the finger with that same finger, sounds ridiculous but that’s what your doing. Drop the past and future and turn to your life that’s happening now. You have no choice but to be aware. Be choicelessly aware and you’ll see there is no “future state.” That’s what you’re looking for. Anything else breeds psychosis.

[@JohnSkidmoreLondonUK]

I felt violated by the ad breaks as I tried to meditate on his wonderful words

[@irenemagill4890]

What ad breaks? Thanks Adya ❤❤❤

[@hammercpa]

If one can’t use the contents of awareness to experience pure awareness then one is left just waiting for pure awareness to show itself? You just recognize that everything you’re aware of is contents and don’t identify with that but you’re basically helpless to experience the context unless it reveals itself, right?

[@caseyanderson2345]

@@hammercpa Yup this is a hard one for the mind. My mind suffers a lot with this question... Even when I know deep down the mind can't get it.

[@AurelioYuga]

[@czowiekprosty767]

Good talk. But the picture is creepy.

[@youarewhatyourelookingfor4496]

I want peak experiences! I want fireworks and explosions, not dog shit awareness. That’s boring. I wanna be special. lol Spiritual materialism Spiritual greed and spiritual pride have all shown themselves to this awareness in meditation. Mind is ever so cunning, a shapeshifter of infinite proportions.

[@lookingforoneness9708]

I don't understand even that I am aware.

Seek truth not false enlightenment, God Jesus is the only truth.John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. .Satan promised Adam and Eve enlightenment but they ended up in trouble instead, seek God Jesus and read his bible if you want true enlightenment. Meditation from our own spirit gets you nowhere, meditate on the word of God Jesus.The human mind is dirty and needs the guidance of the holy spirit. Seek God Jesus.Today I have a very important message to share with my fellow men so that our souls can be saved. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; All other religions are false, Jesus is the only way to Heaven and he is the only way to escape Hell. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Mark 6:12 And they went out, and preached that men should repent..Seek not pleasure in this world but seek JESUS CHRIST instead, Matthew 6:19-21King James Version (KJV)19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.,as you know sex outside marriage, pornography and immorality is a sin against God and it leads to Hell where you'll be cut off from God and happiness forever. Therefore we are to repent or Cross-dressing and all others sins as they lead to hell.Fornication is a sin against God and it also leads to hell and so is adultery.We must repent of sin and stop exposing our nakedness and breast to others to make them lust after us and cause them to fall into sin and end up in hell Fire for eternity, repent and live for the true God Jesus who's the only way to heaven, there is no other religion or way that can take you to heaven.Study the bible and focus on loving Jesus and others, not on yourself or posting selfies. Forgive others for what they have done to you or else if you dont forgive neither will you father in heaven forgive you and you will end up in Hell. Matthew 6:15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Revelation 21:8King James Version (KJV) 8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.May the lord Jesus Christ bless you and I pray that you are a part of his kingdom .Jesus is God, not a prophet.The Roman Catholic church is not of God. I had a dream that I was in the catholic service, and they were calling people to pray. The priest was going around helping people pray, and they were saying, Hail Mary, and they were praying to Mary as well. I knew that I must not pray to Mary. So I closed my eyes and prayed to Jesus Christ, and then everybody was taking part in the Eucharist, and I knew that I must not partake in this activity. They were bringing along statues and idols. I left the room and I sat down with the unbelievers there, because I knew I must not partake in what they were doing. The Roman Catholic church is not of the Lord. You must not partake in what they do if you want to follow Jesus Christ. You must only worship and obey Jesus Christ and come out of that false church. Jesus bless you

[@danielwilde8014]

jesus was enlighted, teaching enlightenment

[@foxandbearbrothersshorts123]

Jesus was a human like all of us. A very enlightened, loving one, who didn’t want to be worshipped. He just wanted people to treat others with love. Jesus can be your inspiration, however you don’t have to worship him. Just be love & love love love

[@drygordspellweaver8761]

Actually Jesus was an invention of the Romans to enslave the masses and collect tithings.
