Adyashanti: The Experience of No Self (Video Clip)


Adyashanti has been a helpful spiritual teacher to hear. I thought I would share this quick clip that I have pondered for many years.

Here are some of my favorite points from this brilliant quick talk.
  • Emptiness means no self in the center.
  • The self always keep to the center. "I want this, I want that."
  • It is very tough for us in this society to think of us as anything but a self. We are raised to be individual focused.
  • All seeking is still self seeking, even if we are seeking spiritual truths.
  • To see the absence of self opens the door to experience the absence of self. This is liberation, or leads to liberation from sense of self.

A Silent and Blank Mind

Some people think mainly in words. Others in images and scenes.  Most seem to combine the two.   Inner silence as a spiritual ideal is incomplete. It's the same to strive for merely a clear mind.   An awake one seems to be quiet and blank with no phrases, no scenery.   To not release into both is to continue suffering. Your inner words describe your inner visions.   Your mind images describe your thought sentences. Release them both and be at peace in the present.
