Fear is very often a part of the spiritual path. When people sit down and meditate it's not at all uncommon for fear to arise at some point.

More quotes by Adyashanti
The Way of Liberation is not a belief system it is something to be put into practice.
Adyashanti
Take one step backward into the unknown.
Adyashanti
The body is a sensing instrument of consciousness. Without the body and mind, the trees could not see themselves. Usually we think that we are looking at a tree, but the tree is looking at itself through us. Without this instrument, the tree does not get to see itself. We are sensing instruments of the Divine.
Adyashanti
Awareness yields to itself, to its inherent creativity, to its expression in form, to experience itself.
Adyashanti
The Truth doesn't answer anything. The Truth IS everything!
Adyashanti
This moment in which you experience stillness is every moment. Don't let the mind seduce you into the past or future. Stay in the moment, and dare to consider that you can be free now.
Adyashanti
Cessation of struggle is like free falling through space without a care in the world.
Adyashanti
Meditation is not something restricted to times of formal seated meditation it is most fundamentally an attitude of being-a resting in and as being. Once you get the feel of it, you will be able to tune into it more and more often during your daily life. Eventually, in the state of liberation, meditation will simply become your natural condition.
Adyashanti
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
What will carry us into living freedom is not the holding of attention so much as the holding of appreciation.
Adyashanti
In the end it’s all very simple. Either we give ourselves to Silence or we don’t.
Adyashanti
Inherent in the impulse to be free, is insecurity. The impulse to be free comes from outside of the mind, and because of this, it makes the mind feel very insecure. Most spiritual seekers move away from this insecurity by seeking and striving for a distant spiritual goal. That's how they avoid feeling insecure.
Adyashanti
We must become expressions of, not consumers of, realization.
Adyashanti
Completion comes when we not just wake up from all form, from all identification, but when love causes us to re-embrace it all.
Adyashanti
Go ahead, climb up onto the velvet top of the highest stakes table. Place yourself as the bet. Look God in the eyes and finally, for once in your life, lose.
Adyashanti
If we would only see that all limitations are self imposed and chosen out of fear, we would leap at once.
Adyashanti
Imagine trusting silence more than any thought you can come up with.
Adyashanti
The process of finding the truth may not be a process by which we feel increasingly better and better. It may be a process by which we look at things honestly, sincerely, truthfully, and that may or may not be an easy thing to do.
Adyashanti
The proof of the depth and embodiment of your realization will be seen in your love relationship. That's where the proof is in the pudding. If it all collapses in your relationship, you have some work to do. And people do have a lot of difficulties in their relationships.
Adyashanti
The more honest and authentic we are, the more deeply we go into the mystery of our own being.
