It is a sad thing that so few give the full measure of their lives to Truth. Most only go so far, and then settle for less than a total surrender of all separation. In the end we all get what we value most, and if we don’t like what we have gotten, we had better take an honest look at what we are valuing.
But never for a moment is Truth lacking. Never is there more or less Truth present, or more or less availability. Truth is in abundant supply at all times, in all situations. It is simply awaiting recognition. And it has all of time on its side.
Question your thoughts. Question your stories. Question your assumptions. Question your opinions. Question your conclusions. Question them all into utter emptiness, stillness, and joy. The keys to freedom are in your hands. Use them.
- Adyashanti

That a heavy load of.....!!!
None of that above quote from A-dya-shanti is of any value for anybody who is not completey mind-fooked already and needs more crappy stuff to twist the mind with.

I'm not good with double negatives. Do you mean the quote is of no value for those who are already clear? |

"It is a sad thing that so few give the full measure of their lives to Truth. The sad thing is that some don't even know that there is no such thing as THE TRUTH.
Most only go so far, and then settle for less than a total surrender of all separation. Why and what for would anybody be "one" with child-molesters, war-mongers and other perverts? Duality has its valitiy, indeed.
In the end we all get what we value most, and if we don’t like what we have gotten, we had better take an honest look at what we are valuing. Why would I think that some dude, who has some strange name as a westerner, would know anything about his own mental condition, not to talk about what others may need to get to know the difference between right and wrong.
But never for a moment is Truth lacking. Yes, because there is no "the Truth". What would it lack then anyway?
Never is there more or less Truth present, or more or less availability. Truth is in abundant supply at all times, in all situations. It is simply awaiting recognition. And it has all of time on its side. Yes, Adyashanti, I recognized you as some major....crap-crapper.
Question your thoughts. Question your stories. Question your assumptions. Question your opinions. Question your conclusions. Question them all into utter emptiness, stillness, and joy. The keys to freedom are in your hands. Use them. Done that. Gotcha dude."

Gotcha dude."- Adyashanti - (Hicksetta)The "Truth" is about looking in to the truth of our own being, as opposed to accepting whatever definitions the mind comes up with as truth. If you accept that's what he means by "The Truth", in what way is there "no such thing"? |

That is called PERSONAL truth, Quinn.

I don't let anybody make their personal truth MY truth by dealing so called oneness. No way! Your (dirty) truth is yours alone. I have nothing to do with it.

Yes, I agree on that. But engaging with a "spiritual" teacher, like A-dya-shanti, whoms voice (his tembre) even tells you that there is utter fear somewhere in him, does not get anybody anywhere near something that can be called...well...what ever...maybe moksha or freedom from the illusion that "all is one".

Well, I'll agree that it's foolish to look to any teacher to get you near the 'Truth'. I do look to them to shift my attention a bit, though. I can get distracted.  |

What I, personally, find sad is that those "spiritual" teachers are themselfs not free but try to teach others to be free from delusions. THAT I call a major delusion. They, themselfs are needy but pose as free. THAT I call disgusting.

Finally, I consider Adyashanti as a victim of what he does not (and probably can not) know.

And what it is he, Adyashanti, does not know is, in my perception: That he thinks himself as being a "spiritual" teacher who has something of some value to say without knowing that this merely is his programm, he was mind-controlled by to believe from an early age on. My "programming" is called existentialism, and that means: I don't know what my whole life is all about untill the minute I die. But I have an idea. And that idea I try to express by writing plays, doing jewelry and communicating in a forum I think my presence is needed.

“When it is time to put the various spiritual teachings aside, you will know it. Quite suddenly what once inspired you will repel you and you will be drawn more and more into silence. When this time comes you may be confused and wonder what happened to your enthusiasm, but rest assured that nothing has gone wrong, it is simply time to give your attention to silence. You may in fact go back and forth several times between being immersed in a teaching and then drawn to silence. Each phase has its own value and time."
~ Adyashanti

Adya seems to be a little heavy on this silence thingy. May just be his personality though.
