The Truth doesn't answer anything. The Truth IS everything!

Many Sages have said, Your world is a dream. You're living in an illusion. They're referring to this world of the mind and the way we believe our thoughts about reality. When we see the world through our thoughts, we stop experiencing life as it really is and others as they really are.

Whenever you aren’t manipulating your experience, you’re meditating. As soon as you meditate because you think you should, you’re controlling your experience again, and you’ve squeezed all the value out of your meditation.
Adyashanti
Image
We think there’s someplace other than here to get to—that’s what drives the whole pursuit. Only when the pursuit ceases, is it possible to recognize what comprises you: pure being, pure consciousness. This is actually the very substance of your own self and being.

To be free of fear is to be full of Love.
Adyashanti
Image
You are not your story. They are not your story about them. The world is not your story about the world.
Adyashanti
Image
You can't lose what you serve. That's the secret. What you serve, you can't lose. What you don't serve and what you try to hold onto, you can't hold onto. It's always slipping out of your fingers.

This world is not my concern it is myself.
Adyashanti
Image
Truth has no finality to it. It is not something to be held on to. Truth is discovered minute to minute or not at all.
