"I am listening to this in the car. This is about awakening and realizing we are not our emotions, our body or our mind. We are something much bigger than that. Fascinating.
Adyashanti shares personal stories from his youth about his own awakening and the pitfalls, challenges and joys that happen.
"The turnabout in consciousness known as Enlightenment is often badly misunderstood these days and poorly described in much spiritual literature. Among the ancient and early modern texts that do contain accurate descriptions and valid reports, the linguistic style and cultural overlays make it difficult for most modern readers to gain a true understanding of what is being discussed. Too often, readers come away with a mythologized view (because the old texts used myths as metaphors). So people today are often ill-equipped for understanding what happens in their own case when they engage a spiritual practice that actually brings them -- temporarily or permanently -- into the realm of Enlightenment (more properly termed, Awakening).
This book by Adyashanti fills the explanatory gap. Based on his own Awakened understanding, this modern American teacher -- an ordinary "everyman" whose Zen practice reached Realization -- Adyashanti speaks plainly, without jargon, or foreign words, or allusive terminology.
He addresses the paradox of living as Being without imagining a separate self hidden deep inside. And, perhaps most important of all, Adyashanti discusses how to face the challenges thrust upon anyone who realizes Enlightenment and then must negotiate the twisting currents of social life in a very obtuse world.
If you believe that Enlightenment grants someone a free pass -- a life without problems -- then you need to drop that myth and read this book."
"This is, in the dimension of awakening, just the most helpful and practical thing I have ever read. I could not get enough of it. He bestows perspective on what it is to flash awake and what people go through after they do...perspective that I have been trying to gather (not too successfully) myself for years. In a very strange way, this was like a deep breath of fresh air. I will read this over and over again."
"Profound wisdom! ....and he sounds far too young to be so wise. His teachings are somewhat of a Buddhist hybrid. Only four stars because for just a couple short periods it became a little too esoteric (probably more my failing than his) - but I enjoyed listening to this to the end."
