Adya points to the direct path of spirituality-instantaneously waking up to the unconditioned consciousness that we already are-and how that differs from “progressive” spiritual paths where we can end up with a spiritualized sense of self. Excerpted from November 19, 2008, Palo Alto Meeting, “Transcending the Layers of Consciousness”: bit.ly/42IeBUj

To be honest I can't even imagine how it's to be on a progressive path. It must be like looking for your glasses while wearing them.

@kimbirch1202 Год назад

I think it's more a case of gradually weaning ourselves off the seeming desires of our egos. If we think the ego mentality offers anything of value, we will never give it up, and awaken.

@luismoref Год назад

@@kimbirch1202 agreed, the direct path is very good to stabilise our selves in our true nature, again again until we see the illusion of ego and break free.

@johnpienta4200 Год назад

It's the process of getting the true self to learn ways of weaning off of things that are not itself. Super helpful for a lot of people in the western world who have learned to not trust the self and/or have been traumatized. But it is ultimately limited, like the view that there is any path at all in some sense...

@goodjob6762 Год назад

It’s simple. To be on a “progressive path” is not very different than being on the so called “direct path”. More than 99% of people who seek Enlightenment/Nirvana/Liberation NEVER get it and die in spiritual frustration. Which means that people who are on the “direct path” will waste their time just like people on the “progressive path” are wasting theirs. Just ask Adyashanti how many of his disciples got to Enlightenment, and I’m pretty sure that number is VERY SMALL.

For what or who does it matter whether it's a direct or progressive path!.....What is a "path" anyway?😉.....Sorry, these thoughts just appear☺️…..thougts….thoughts…..thougths😊♥️

You are not anything you can think about yourself - thats a realisation shift right there 😮

Like Krishnamurti said, "Truth is a pathless land"

@kimbirch1202 Год назад

This is all well and good, yet the fact is that we are terrified of the truth, as it is the end of our seeming specialness, as individual persons, with our precious opinions, experiences, likes and dislikes.

Wow. This is the clearest explanation ever. Thank you.

I hope that Adyasanti, his disciples and those who have written comments to this video are all Self-realised persons because it is so very easy to have Self-realisation in this direct path method. All such Self-realised persons are requested to start preaching about the direct path so that many more struggling souls may reach their goal instantaneously.

His remarks at the end I like the story of Jesus about the workers in the vineyard and everybody whether they worked all day or just one hour received the same.

When I was a small young boy and my twin brother and i were very small for our age I used to watch my brother following my mom around the house where ever she was he was. I used to listen to the women talking all the time rushing around as if they were in a race. And nothing has changed I go out for lunch every day every body is doing the same indulging it idle chat and small talk not being quiet for one minute going through life blindly like hungry ghosts as is said in Buddhist texts. Yet they are Oblivious to it being in silence for most people is seen as pain and suffering.

To realise that one is a spirit and not body,mind or intellect, it takes quite a long time or path. This process takes a bit of cleaning of mind . One has to go past thamas (ignorance) followed by going beyond rajas (intense activity) spanning incarnations,before reaching satwa (knowledge). This is not worldly knowledge but that one is a spirit or a sentient obsever and that all other worldly things are mere objects of thoughts.

@mobiustrip1400 Год назад

I hope this is my last incarnation. I cant go through it again. Being a baby, crying, pooping and messing. A kid again? No thanks! picking my nose and eating it, scabby knees, being bullied at school, feelings of shame and inadequacy...Never mind adolescence and then the endless tyranny of work in adulthood. God please let this be the only one, the end 🙏

@kimbirch1202 Год назад

I don't know if Adi would agree, but Jesus teaches that we all have deep - seated mainly unconscious guilt, over the false belief we have sinned against God, by choosing separation. This is not justified however, because it is only a DREAM of separation. Therefore all seeming sin, we perceive in ourselves, and others, must be forgiven, if we are to know our innocence.

Did I not share with him destruction were it's fate? I am as great as G-d, and He is small like me. He cannot be above, or I below him be. Etc...Grace V.💟

If CONSCIOUSNESS modulates itself, to form the mind. The latter, being finite, cannot directly access CONSCIOUSNESS because CONSCIOUSNESS is infinite, unlimited and is not an object. The mind (although paradoxically it is made up of CONSCIOUSNESS) can only "know" objects. Where is Love, Peace and Happiness in all of this? The human being, by his nature, yearns for love, peace and happiness. However, longing turns into suffering. So he creates associations (religions) "politicizing" that longing.
