Acknowledging Your Depth (Excerpt)

- adyashanti.org - When we fail to recognize the depth of our true nature, it can wreak havoc on our lives. Adyashanti reveals to us how we can acknowledge and listen to ‘the divine within’ in a surrendered way, inviting and allowing our depth to come forth.
Excerpted from September 9, 2020 Online Course, “Facets of Unity”:

Quotes from this Video:
“If all we're doing is telling the divine what we want, what we want to happen, it means we're not really listening.”
“When your own depth makes it known that it wants your attention, there are consequences to not acknowledging it.”
“Our true nature is not playing around. It’s playing for keeps. The consequences are high.”
“In the end, we're all held accountable to our own depth.”
Much love. Don’t ignore your true depth. It’s not what you think it is. It’s really much easier to follow your true nature than not. It’s the natural way of living. A minute or two of practicing or noticing can help bring you back to your true nature. Hint: you've never really left.

I can not agree more.After awakening i kinda kept living the same egoic livestyle i ever did. just more happy and content. So life gave me a fuckin bad accident which almost killed me but also showed me what is important for my deeper self. Now i know that this past suffering was grace because ist transformed my Life in the Most beautiful way.
That message is deeply touching to me. Thank you Adya.
I have had so many instances where my higher self gave me signs which made me drop things that I was about to do. My higher self has always guided me even when I had no idea what was going to happen. Here I am today assisting humanity in ascending. I am just where I am supposed to be. Everything that has happened in my life especially all bad things has got me here .❤️
I appreciate the references to Carl Jung. It helps put some puzzle pieces together. How could we not have a complex psyche; at least just as complex as our bodies. But neither compares to consciousness. Hearing about the interactions between our ego and our Depth is helpful and maybe sobering. Thank you Adyashanti. 🙏🏻
This is so true, the more we ignore our intuition the more we basically torture ourselves. The ego can play as many games as long as it wants, the shortest cut to the chase is to listen to the initiative nudgeds. It is no coincidence that cancer and mental illness is rampant in society today with increased pressure felt in our lives - mostly self-imposed. All diseases - mental or physical are the precipitation of suppressed emotions. Period.
The heart is crying to be heard in each of us and we are not being kind to it. If only, we could let the EGO ...Go.
Dear Adyashanti, once again, you have hit the nail on the head! I managed to truly absorb your words here, and looking back at my life, well, I wish I had known your teachings some years ago THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU! Namaste 🙏
Thankyou Adyashanti. I deeply appreciate you. The peace and wisdom you emanate is so grounding. Listening to you helps me listen to my own depth.
So grateful for who posted this vídeo and for Adyashanti, his words helps us to keep focused in what really matters in Life.
Ty so much Adya for speaking this Truth 🙏🏻❤️
I watched this video over 10 times. I had personally witnessed the same. I love the reference to Carl Jung, a man I highly respect. Thank you so much Adyashanti.
Beautiful words Adyashanti. I love it Thank you 🙏
“Die before you die,” said the Prophet Muhammad. What do you think that feels like?
It is no game for the fainthearted. It is living hell, for there will be nothing left of you but a molten, bright sphere.
- Hafiz
Thank you Adya, this is a very important message. We all too often toy with Truth not getting its radical, radical life or death nature. It's bringing me to my knees in deeper and deeper suicidal depression. It's time to get real. It's time to stop running, and instead turn and open to the inner earth-shattering energies that are seemingly devouring me. It's time to die before I die.
Thank you.
Good luck :)
Kundalini?
It’s our own calling. Our ego keeps getting challenged and crushed, until we stop having any beliefs or thoughts that enhance our ego, our real self is trying to claim more of us, to become bigger part of us, limiting ego only to basic bodily functions and a little bit of conceptual thinking of the brain that we need to survive in our careers and life in general so that our physical life can be supported. Our life is a booklet that we are writing our exam on. We must keep writing it to be able to graduate to the next grade, next level of some kind where we have more trust and more confidence in our knowing. Beyond that I have no idea what’s gonna happen. A guess is ultimately becoming one with nothingness of all there is or being one with everythingness of nothing there is, they essentially mean the same thing.
I hope you are well. 🙏🏻
Thank you Adya for satying the course on how to listen to and realise the deep truth within me. I don't know how it is for others, but I sense such a ring of truth in what you say, and I;ve been "sort of" follwing you for a number of years. I am also healrining a lot from Dr Bagor Mate about how I got knocked of my trye course in childhood, but that too can be recalimed. It was so amazing to see the tow of you together, thn, in that video where you discudded with each other the different perspectives on what's really true, for any of us!!! Thank you for being there and being you. Love and blessings, as best I know them, Shelagh.
Sorry for the typos. Wish I could redo it!
thank you adya for this brilliant reminder.
What beauty, just wow!
I have a LOT of respect for Adya. His courage, commitment, reverance for the truth. His heart.
But after all these years, I find it a bit difficult to see value in his teaching. I'm open to being totally wrong, but it feels his prespective hasn't evolved. Now, obviously I don't necessarilly need to resonate with the teaching. But there was a time where I was so convinced his way of cutting to the bone marrow of things..........was, quite frankly, one of the highest prespectives a person on this planet could have.................
Back then, I was gungho on "awakening"....and it actually led me to a kundalini gone wrong........that almost exploded my body. I had to stop all things meditation.......and in many ways go back to more "ego"...just to ground myself in this reality. Of course I don't blame Adya for that or anything.............but that leftover sense of the Eastern traditions....that we are almost in spiritual warfare with........the culture or ourselves almost...and that call for an almost warrior-liek zeal around this topic.......it seems counterproductive at times.
My point being...........how would all of us be served if we alligned with what Adya seems to be offering? I quite frankly get a bit depressed listening to Adya these days lol..............I know he's a great person.......that much is obvious........a very loving being..............and you know, that has a tremendous value to me. At the end of the day, that is the most key component for me......on any path.
But..........I wonder how many teachers spun this "ego" narrative for a bit too long past it's experation date. I look around me, and I'm not so sure this idea of "ego" helped us in any way. It always felt forced to me to see things in terms of ego VS Self. Totally unnatural.............untruthful even.
What if we started this spiritual thing AAAALLL over? We reviewed all concepts and assumptions? What if we strived to communicate it to someone with no awarenes of any of these common concepts like ego, self etc............how would we communicate things and WHAT would we communicate, and with what intention?
I think many well intended spiritual teachers........ran with limited views on life............and took them to extremes....and forgot, in the meantime, to question what the PURPOSE of life really is. Obviously Adya is (or was)following his hearts impulse............but doesn't this sound a little bit depressing? Yes, we live in a profane world that is very fed up. But where is the joy? Where is the space for "living your dreams"? Where is the space for creativity? Why must we generate this sense of an ego that needs attending to even? Aren't we actually seperating ourselves from life ina way by doing so?
I dunno........I dunno if I'm able to articulate what I mean. But life is MORE than this. Much more. And so is the truth. And the path to the truth SHOULD be more positive and mroe colorful. I feel it deeply inside of me. I think our heart of hearts embraces a much more life-affirming....and even ego-affirmin (in some ways) way of going about things.
I don’t actually think Adya with disagree with anything
You said
Thank you Adya, that really struck a cord inside.
This was so good and insightful I had to listen to it twice!
The antithesis of The Secret or the Law of Attraction...glad he’s stating it firmly!
Wow 😯
thank you Adya such an important turn around .
Thank you 🙏 It’s so helpful.
Adya I LOVE YOU!
Dear Adya, it is such a gift to hear and practice your teachings. May this effect many people in a divine way!
Great vídeo
reminds me of one of my favorite Nietzsche passages:
"This tyrant in us wreaks horrible revenge for every attempt we make to dodge or escape it, for every premature resignation, for every acceptance of equality with those among whom we do not belong, for every activity, however respectable, which distracts us from our main cause-indeed, for every virtue which would protect us from the hardness of our inmost responsibility. Every time, sickness is the response, when we want to doubt our right to our task, when we begin to make things easier for ourselves in any way. It is the easing of our burden which we must atone most harshly. And if we want to return to health afterward, we have no choice: we must assume a heavier burden than we ever carried before"
would love to hear Adya's take on Nietzsche for sure: I was always puzzled by him. the way I see him is that he seems to've transcended the confines of his conditioning all right but not of his mind?
Wow. Thank you for this. Brb checking out the passage.
at 0:44 and 1:18, in more dramatic terms is reminiscent of the Bhagavad Gita when Krishna tells arjuna if you see me as I truly am you could not stand the brightness and brutality, in daily life seems to be when you glimpse divinity in a person or a scene even for a nanosecond and the impulse is to fall your knees
Beautiful
Does someone know to which book from carl jung he is revering too?
If I could talk to Adya I would want to ask him this: How do we discriminate between our true nature calling and our ego mind's chatter (e.g. neurotic fears, insecurities, superficial desires, etc.). If anyone has any insight I would greatly appreciate it.
@@mrcadoia ahh thank you. More like you get a sense of moving in a particular direction.
@@mrcadoia beautiful
I heard him say in another video that the correct voice is quiet and undemanding. It does not justifying itself. The ego, by contrast, is only too happy to give you reasons for its suggestion, to argue its case.
@@k.l.spencer5635 yes thank you for reminding me! It’s all coming back thanks to you guys.
When your true nature is calling you just KNOW. It comes from a deep place inside you, often when you are very quiet and still. It seems to come from nowhere, but there is a sense of rightness about it, and often surprising. Be still and know........
❤❤❤
It’s tricky though because most of the world “thinks” they’re listening to their inner true self and they are responding with joining religions. But he is referring to the awakening process, not simply listening to your concepts and thoughts because we see where that gets the world.
There are so many SOOO many young people that are feeling this true self (basically its pain) and are seriously being presented with the decision to step away from the institution and grow or not, now more than ever it seems so prominent but then again this is the only time period this body has been here for... Like America seriously is strait up dealing with this, and why wouldn't the rest of the world be... Joining a religion or not if you're not listening to your true self you know deep down, and it's undeniable, so it doesn't matter if there's something like false concepts or whatever the true self is still there talking to them regardless... You cant get trapped or stuck in this process.
@@MrReedTea I kind of get your point but it seems like most of the world is trapped in things like religion and ego without being able to acknowledge it.
Brainwashing is powerful stuff. Even if one feels pain, most don’t know what that pain is and chalk it up to being part of life instead of “stepping away”. Even people who are non-dualistic practitioners have a hard time contextualize pain, I certainly am confused. What pain are we talking about? And what is one supposed to do with it? I simply try not to resist things like fear/anxiety. That’s all I know to do.
@@MrReedTea unfortunately this is truer now than it was when you commented. You’re so absolutely right.
@@renakmans3521I absolutely agree that brainwashing is powerful. I am thankful for something more powerful though.
About pain, I have learned through a type of pain that just pulled the rug completely out from under me, that the pain IS the One longing for my response and me resisting because that’s all I knew how to do… until I got it. I came out of a lot of the brainwashing and continue to fumble around but hearing so many questions answered by Adyashanti & learning others are having almost exactly the same tumult just resonates with me. And it strengthens my faith which I kind of forgot I had. I hope your heart is lighter. ❤️
Hi adyashanti, or anybody else that may be able to help me. I’ve been trying out true meditation and it’s been great, however, I will often obsess about if I’m doing a technique right or wrong and I find this greatly hinders my ability to completely fall into consciousness. Specifically, I saw an interview in which you said that “it should be checked in from time to time that you are not too spaced out,” and now my mind being my mind is constantly checking during the meditation to make sure I am not “spaced out”. However, I find this has stopped me from falling completely into my consciousness. I am wondering what to do about this, I find it greatly hinders my ability to reach a state where my mind doesn’t have a hold on my being. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I don’t see any response comments to your question. I’m hoping you found your way well enough to keep meditating. 🙏🏻😊
🙏💛🌟
We're corks on a river.
So how do we know whether we are hearing our true depth guiding us or whether we are following what we think is what we should be doing?
I don’t understand how to determine the difference.
It has a different drive than "i need, belive i or must to do this". It literally in a sense physically feels deeper and it happens by itself. I find in my expirience that when i am still and this deepening happens, it is noticable how mind literally is trying to poke trough this and make some belif or opinion about it. Very distinguable. Once you recognise it, it becomes very obvious and with trust (which indeed sometimes can be difficult, but that's just mind conditioned reaction about it) you can abide in it as it. Good luck man. :)
@@lelu5490 Thanks for your reply :)
I am a deep person and I am 99% certain there is nothing trying to direct me to my purpose.
@@gamedesign1 My expirience and conditioning is different than yours, ofc, but whether you belive it or you are certain or not, things are happening. If you cannot recognise it yet that really is fine. Just be still and don't figure things out, this unravels naturally. If you do feel you must do something, do what you sense it's good for you. Whether it's reading, meditating or something else.
If you are feeling pain and uncomfortable but not truly sitting with it means you are not listening to your true self. Like taking drugs, overeating watching porn, etc to sensation seek aka deny the attention the true self needs which manifests as pain and suffering. So true self needs you and it cries out with pain and suffering and is showing you where it hurts, this trama that trama this limiting view of self and so on, but many freaks out the moment the true self starts to cry out and instantly run away into coping mechanisms which only serve to impede the healing process/acceptance fo the true self and thus the pain increases and increase until you finally come home to who you really are. And the flight from the true self is so severe in most they never actually let it tell them what's wrong, could be quite an easy fix. And this is all again just how it is set up for you to realize who and what you really are to a certain degree. As much as the ego wants to smoke weed the true self really wants to BE ITSELF and ultimately that is a blissful state of sobriety. So the going to smoke weed is a denying of the true self-a blissful sober state for example another way to understand it. So why would someone be smoking? because the true self is saying hey I hurt here and there and here if we want to go into the blissful state you gatta help me out here and cover up my booboos with your love! it hurtts! and again we already talked about how people can tend to react to this. Or at least this is how I used to react to it and likely still do here and there but almost always correct it with mindfulness instantly.
@@MrReedTea thank you, I would love to learn how to do this
Master ji, I respect your HONESTY My view is NO MASTER in PRESENT is CAPABLE of GIVING ENLIGHTENMENT to any SEEKER who is attending His RETREAT or following him. Because ENLIGHTENMENT is HAPPENING if you are DESTINED As BIRTH, DEATH, LOVE is Happening. WILL You REPLY HONESTLY. I don't HOPE SO. Thanks.🎉🎉🙏🙏🎉
So this is basically , hell hes talking about, psychological and spiritual hell thay can also manifest after death?
The audio is very distorted, makes it hard on the ears.
I love this saying of Thomas but i am not actually going to quote it for you.
Depth doesn't hold you accountable. There is no you. And it is fearful. Que sera sera. And there is nothing you can do about it. No running from it.
So feel deeply how this talk makes you tremble..." be spiritual... or there will be consequences!" Nope... no events, no consequences, just scared ego's. Which is a consequence. And that is not a paradox.. And sly ego's.. because.. if you do what I want, then it 'll be all right. It is for the benefit of all..
I hear Christian God type stuff saying, be afraid. If you don't listen to me, follow me, bad things will happen. No thank you.
We all exist as human beings so there is a ‘you’. Get out of the egocentric state of consciousness and there is still a sentient individual being there living a life. Forget all the neo advaita BS. You’re talking about an absolute state of transcendence as though it portrays the full picture of reality which is clearly doesn’t.
It’s almost like you have no choice?
Sounds like he’s talking about Kundalini...
he's talking about shadow work mainly, but kundalini energy brings up this need too.
@@RogerioLupoArteCientifica Yea he does mention Jung. So if we don’t listen to our subconscious mind which helps remove our shadows, we may cause ourselves harm? If so, I’d think meditation is the only way to reveal that or else we can easily misinterpret our thoughts, like so many have with religion, no?
Thanks!
So you're saying that if you reject parts of yourself because you're scared of the outcome you'll go to hell. Nice. So you're already in hell for surpressing it all because you want to be accepted by society. And you go to hell after for not accepting it. Wow life's great.
