*Re "soul" in Adyashanti's teachings: "...the soul is not only a personalized form of Spirit, or true nature, but it is also the ground or essence of the ego." "What is the soul? The soul is the virtual center between the conscious and unconscious numinous dimensions of the psyche. The soul, as I use the term, is a psychic function-not an entity, a someone, or something. As a psychic function, the soul is the carrier of the spiritual instinct. The soul connects, mediates, and translates the timeless perspective of eternity (our true nature) into conscious recognition, life orientation, and fundamental values. The soul is also an aspect of our true nature. It is the honesty, sincerity, truthfulness, and conscience of our true nature. It is the poetic voice and instinct of knowing when we are aligned or not aligned with our true nature, with the integrity of our spirit." ~ Adyashanti, A Revolution of Being 2020
@kungwu Thankyou so much. These are such beautiful and wonderfully clarifying descriptions of the nature of soul which I find so helpful. Thanks also for the treasure trove of Adyashanti's teachings. ❤
