Adyashanti the end of your world download

With straight talk and penetrating insight, Adyashanti helps you navigate the pitfalls and cul-de-sacs that "un-enlighten" us along the journey, including: the trap of meaninglessness; how the ego can "co-opt" realization for its own purposes; the illusion of superiority that may accompany intense spiritual breakthroughs; and the danger of becoming "drunk on emptiness.

With 12 bold sessions about topics ordinarily kept private between student and teacher, The End of Your World is your invitation to join Adyashanti for an honest investigation of what you really are—and how to live when you discover it. Adya is my favorite teacher.

This CD set is great to have in the car so I can get frequent reminders and direct teachings. I highly recommend it to anyone that is curious about his teachings. You won't be disappointed. Very empty of wisdom for me. Mostly platitudes from a young author who reached enlightenment at age 31, 4 years younger than the Buddha. I am a devotee of Jack Kornfield. I have bought this book several times and keep giving it away If you are interested in ultimate Truth and Love beyond feeling, this teacher is a down to earth gem.

Very practical pointers and guidance for anyone before, during or after awakening, when the world as you know it is gone and and again nothing is known First Adyashanti. Left with no words just smiles and gratitude for the topic, the timing, the simplicity, the clarity on such profound topic.

Thank you :. Trending Now. The Healing Trauma Program. In the beginning of my teaching work, most of the people who came to me were seeking these deeper realizations of spirituality. They were seeking to wake up from the limited and isolated senses of self they had imagined themselves to be.

But as time has passed, more and more people are coming to me who have already had glimpses of this greater reality. It is because of them that I am giving the teachings of this book. Legal Anthropology or Comparative Law? Santa and Jesus. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Any additional comments? Just really loved this one. Adya is so approachable - so human. He feels more like a friend who has been through the trenches and is passing along what he's learned - rather than some elevated guru. Adyashanti is a western born awakened teacher for our times. He speaks in terms we can comprehend and is subtly moving us towards our selves with each eloquent sentence. Thank you! For those of you who have labored through obtuse, circular language and the niggling sense that some one is simply reading from their own journal while you are trying to find some usable insight and answers between work and making dinner; this may finally be a book you can derive some actual information from!

It is most likely a book for those who feel they have had at least a glimpse of another way of being, maybe not as good for those wholly new to the concept of enlightenment? There is very useful insight into the various facets of awakening and how to deal with this in the everyday. Practical yet highly enlightened ways to nourish and use those moments of unbounded clarity to find deeper insight and extended awakening WHILE you are living a life of work and family etc.

That he is attempting this is so rare as to be nothing short of extraordinary in and of itself! But he is quick to explain how this is not a self-help book, retaining the true nature of zen artistry, in a way that is clear and understandable — at least to me!

Adyashanti also exposes the various ways you can get caught in your attempts toward enlightenment. For me this was incredibly valuable information, I am already inclined to say even life transformational information!

We shall see Anyway, brava Adya! It's wild because this is listed as a book, and is available as a book, but the whole program seems like someone talking to you about their direct experience.

Adyashanti's teachings come through loud and clear and touch the heart of what it means to be truly awake. I will be listening to it again and again. This book made me really uneasy for several different reasons. First is the author and his narration, which sounded affected to me.

I actually felt like I was being manipulated. Maybe it was just the irony and the presumption of someone presenting himself as an example of enlightenment. The irony certainly isn't lost on him, because he gets cagey in the interview at the end, when Tami Simon asks him if he abides in awareness permanently. But the bigger issue I had with this is the way that he, like so many other spiritual teachers of our time, portrays the ego and the discursive mind as obstacles that have to be overcome on the path to liberation.

There is no way you can ever get rid of the ego so it's pointless to even make that a goal. I've never met or heard of a person without an ego, including Adyashanti or any other guru or teacher. Let's not include Buddha, Jesus, and other figures from the distant past. Your ego may become more fluid and transparent, less rigid, but it will never disappear, unless of course you are suffering from psychological disassociation.

I have a similar issue with Adyashanti's critique of the thinking mind. He says that thoughts don't have any reality, they're just illusions with no substance, etc. That really sent up red flags for me. I've been to so many spiritual centers and ashrams and have met people on the spiritual path who have a really hard time getting in touch with their own thoughts, expressing what they really think and feel, because they've bought into this idea that thoughts are illusory.

Even when people tell Adyashanti that they have insomnia or other physical ailments, after having had a spiritual breakthrough, his response is "it's only a problem if you think it's a problem. We have to be more in touch with the voice inside, not disconnected from it.

Yes spiritual breakthroughs may very well involve an upending of everything you thought you knew, and learning how to suspend thoughts for periods of time can help you go deeper inside.

But please don't make your own ego and your own mind obstacles to further progress. If you do you'll be reading books like this for the rest of your life. This wonderful audio. If you want to see what enlightenment is not. Very simple explanation. So much confusion has dissipated. I am finally able to reconcile my past experiences and start over looking for more.

Adyashanti details the places your ego can trip you up. I also really appreciated that he did not seem to be pushing an agenda. Reading the book, through his words, I felt that I could get some sense of his presence and was calm and kind. It is the same inner presence that is inside you and me as well. This book was like a kind and generous friend. It felt like the way water feels when it slips through your fingers, glistening with light, returning to the river.

I found that I read it slowly. This was with many people from around the world. The entire book is a book carrying the energy of pure awareness and deep insights to awakening.

It naturally but directly reveals illusive and often hidden mental programing that Adya calls living in the dream state; a state of illusion that most people don't even realize they are in. Instead of our conditioning defining us, the book takes you, or took me to the liberated place of the unknown which is realizing reality each moment, each moment, each moment.
