Adyashanti: Q&A—experiment with questioner on finding a self—returning to absolute subjectivity

excerpted from "Everyday Oneness": https://adyashanti.opengatesangha.org... "What you are is the most subjective thing. So all you're doing is backing up into subjectivity...So that's the direction. That's where you're going. So I can't be a thought...because there's always that mysterious little seer...and it's always more subjective. This is a returning to absolute subjectivity...When you follow it back, you're not defining yourself as an object... In a certain sense, it's very scientific, simple observation. But you get back to the seer, and you realize there's only seeing. There's not a seer...You feel and sense that absolute subjectivity: awareness to awareness, seer to seer, do you notice that the impulse to find this thing called meaning for my existence, it's not a driving force when you're back there—your most subjective self... ...all the part I'm playing here is I'm only helping you to stay almost rigidly with your experience. You notice we tracked your experience. We're not tracking theory and ideas and all of that. All of that has to be let go of so you can be with yourself and you can start to look at the nature of what's happening... then you can take the journey back in your experience to your most subjective self..." ~ Adyashanti from "Everyday Oneness": https://adyashanti.opengatesangha.org... ~~~ About the talk: What is it like to live with one foot in the relative and the other in the absolute?
