Adyashanti: Q&A—what it's like experientially to go into illusions by "leaving" the awake part

​A participant shares about a 10-year-old awakening experience characterized by peace, clarity, and appreciation. Awakening reveals more of the psyche, including parts still unconscious which must be encountered. Adyashanti confirms the necessity to go into the parts that are still not awake by "leaving" the awake part. Another participant asked Adya to clarify what it means to go into illusions by "leaving" the awake part... ~ excerpted from "The Ultimate Dimension" About the talk: Within all of us is a place of timelessness, silence, and the absence of struggle. We might believe it is unattainable, but waking up to this dimension doesn’t need to be difficult, nor does it require a crisis. In this riveting talk, Adyashanti offers an easier path, where all that is necessary is to allow our consciousness to return to itself. Quote from this Video: “If we’re not grounded in the ultimate dimension of our being, we’re always going to be looking for something—success, fame, more love, more approval, more enjoyment, more intoxication, more peace .” **link to the audio download: https://adyashanti.opengatesangha.org... ~~~~~~~~~ Adyashanti, author of The Direct Way, Sacred Inquiry, Emptiness Dancing, The Way of Liberation, Falling into Grace, True Meditation, and The End of Your World, is an American-born spiritual teacher devoted to serving the awakening of all beings.
