Adyashanti: resistance...what arises is what needs attention...instant shift... (Q&A with a teacher)

**The participant is also a spiritual teacher. He had followed Adyashanti's teachings for about 10 years...At the beginning of the conversation, he said, "it's almost like I'm having a low-level depression." During the conversation, he said, "I love that true openness...willingness for things to be revealed instead of having the answer be what you need it to be..." Close to the end, the participant said, "I feel a shift already..." ~~~~~~ Close to the end, Adyashanti: "...the more that we can not just have an understanding but a sense or feel for what's really happening, under my imagined idea that I'm doing this and I'm encountering this and I'm inquiring that, really underneath that idea is 'Life is just discovering Itself...'" ~~~~~~ Notes: Exploring What Is Evoked in You • Sometimes you can find a blocked energy, or a lack of vitality can lead to depression. When the vitality drops, it feels like something is wrong. • Open to opposing experiences. For example, really feel the resistance, and then really feel the openness in a deep way. It is important to deeply feel both experiences with real vitality so that the whole process is charged. • Be sensitive to whatever is evoked. Sometimes what is evoked is not a resolution but rather a flat feeling. Even though this feeling doesn’t feel right, it is what needs attention. • You get stuck because you are resisting the resistance. In order to return to the flow, just focus on what needs attention. Perhaps what is being evoked is discontent. What if you explore that? Bring curiosity to the process. • Very often, a door to depth is finding out what we’re resisting. This process is not about arriving at a great result, but rather finding out what is really happening. • Life is always discovering itself, not for a cosmic finish line. • The human heart has its history and experiences, and is held in the greater spiritual heart that isn’t conditioned from life circumstances. We don’t leave the conditioned human heart behind. It is healed when there is a connection to the spiritual heart. • These teachings can sound theoretical and rarified, but they are really involved in the nitty-gritty of life. A commitment to our own spiritual depth is a gift to ourselves and to the world. ~ excerpted from "A Revolution of Being 2018: Embracing the Challenge of Awakened Living" ----------------------------- 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.
