Adyashanti - The Price of Staying Awake

Video Excerpted From “Restoring the Sovereignty of Being”(ID #440):
 
Quotes from this Video:

“Step outside of everything you think you know.”

“The entire internal world -- when you’re not thinking about it -- just stops.”

“Doubt is powerful. Not the kind of doubt that makes you feel small and diminished and afraid to move, but the doubt where you see, ‘My God, the whole way that I have myself, and everybody, and everything hooked up in my mind may be nothing more than a thought. A persistent thought, but maybe nothing more than that.’”

“This is the kind of doubt that not only allows us to begin to experience the dimension of being but actually releases it into experience.”

“To be really awakened is to have no more argument with yourself, no more argument with the world, no more argument with others, and no more argument with God.”

“Reality is the ultimate bait-and-switch maneuver. It costs nothing to wake up, however it costs everything to stay awake.”

The Price: give up every reason that you have to stop loving ....

My longing has been and my first prayer was asking to learn compassion in this lifetime like Yeshua (this was before I even began my search for "the truth"). I became an RN in 1992 and many times in my career have asked myself why I picked nursing and have even regretted my choice. For the past 5 years or so I see how this career is stretching me in my compassion and pushing me to see beyond the picture presented before me to what lies within and finding a common bond. I wish I could find better words to express this. Now I see my career choice as an answer to prayer. My compassion now growing in a garden with a fertilizer that pushes my boundaries to extend and extend until one day they will fragment back into nothing and my compassion will be limitless. I have a motto I live by, "Question everything." And another one: "Believe nothing. Either know or don't know." Knowing something implies that you have personally been informed through personal experience. Memorizing knowledge and holding it as truth simply because someone told you it was true is just plain stupid. :)

Dear Adya, i was put into mental health institution in London, when i realized all the things you mention in this video. And their excuses for sectioning me was that i was vulnerable and could be danger to myself or others while they themselves were harming me physically and emotionally with the cruel treatments authorised by those so called doctors. they filled my heart with hatred and anger. the society and the law of of this country is opposes freedom however they actually wants us to believe that this is a free country, i know from my own experiences what they do to people who wakes up to truth. but of course no one can stop me no one I m even madder than ever i m not scared of them not any one they should be of me ....

Hell of a bombshell to drop in the middle of the afternoon adyashanti...

I agree with the "end of arguing" part. It's like life begins to flow more and more as resistance fades away.

Master Adyashanti, I believe more and more people will get into the new Dimension, and create a new world, like bible's prophecy.

How easily acceptable it is when it is so simply true.

Growing pains is one thing. But sacrifice of any kind is NEVER required.

I'm so surprised that adyashanti doesn't have more followers.

There is no other option than staying awake. For me, at least. Ascension is the only language my primordial core understands. This will always be with me.

The highest state possible:
Myself as I Am,
The world as it is-
