Caution Spiritual Seekers: You Might Just Find What You're Looking For!

Underneath the turmoil of thought, emotion, and personal will, there is a flow. If you're reading these words, you've probably felt it - the natural movement of life, the truth that beckons below the surface of things. What would happen if you were to stop avoiding this universal energy, and instead completely embrace it?

According to author and teacher Adyashanti, herein lies the heart of spiritual awakening - and it's likely to "end your world." Why? Because with spiritual awakening, instead of a new version of you, you find no version of you - your true nature beyond any point of view - "that which is continually partaking of all experience, in each and every instant."

Straight Talk on the Nature of Enlightenment

More and more people today have had a glimpse of this genuine kind of awakening, only to see it slip away after a few hours or days. Adyashanti calls this the "I got it/I lost it" phenomenon that perplexes so many of his students. For those caught between what he calls "non-abiding" awakening and the ultimate state of "abiding" enlightenment, Adyashanti offers The End of Your World - his first in-depth audio course about the remarkable yet enigmatic process of spiritual awakening.With straight talk and penetrating insight, Adyashanti helps you navigate the pitfalls and cul-de-sacs that "un-enlighten" us along the journey, including: the trap of meaninglessness; how the ego can "co-opt" realization for its own purposes; the illusion of superiority that may accompany intense spiritual breakthroughs; and the danger of becoming "drunk on emptiness."Inquiring Sincerely into Every Aspect of Your Life

"Full awakening comes when you sincerely look at yourself, deeper than you've imagined, and question everything," teaches Adyashanti. With 12 bold sessions about topics ordinarily kept private between student and teacher, The End of Your World is your invitation to join Adyashanti for an honest investigation of what you really are - and how to live when you discover it.

excellent teachings

Coming from someone who had a Kundalini Awakening and pure consciousness for around 3-4 months, everything he says resonates completely with what I felt in that time and it's fascinating that he had an early awakening at a young age, before what he calls the real awakening. I have seen the glimpse of pure consciousness like he mentions and am hoping down the line, I witness complete awakening, and get to hold onto it permanently next time

Straight talk about awakening

I have most of Adyashanti's books and this is going to be one of my favorites. Adyashanti knows this topic and I have learnt a great deal from him. Especially loved the interview at the end. I would not hesitate to buy more of his work.

woohoo i love this stuff

beautiful. it is exactly what you need if you are in the stage of awakening where your personal drive and motivation has seemingly didappeared leaving you with a state of being that on the surface resembles depression and when expressed appears as nihilism, but at the root of your sense of identity everything is fine and dandy because all is one. this book helps you get your head around operating from this new perspective.
