Adyashanti: The Experience of No Self (Video Clip)

Silence into Geometry and Gone Again (Spiritual Poem)

A Universe, one version. A Multiverse, many verses. Songs and sounds creating geometry. Geometries arising the physical. Silence and stillness carries infinite open potential. An endless sea just before geometry. Peace resides just before the noise chaos. The mind, chaotic noise. Can you accept your still silence in coexistence? In partnership? Arising from silence: creation. Closing down our noise: we return.
