In This Interview, Adyashanti and I Discuss...
Eric's awakening experience
The awakened state in perpetuity
The shift in perception that happens with awakening
The paradox of wanting something like awakening yet wanting it stands in the way of having it
Will gets you to the cushion and once there, it's important to let go of it
Does one need a spiritual teacher when seeking awakening?
The teacher evoking something from vs the teacher giving something to the student
How people work with unconscious patterns
How you can't not be awakened - even if you don't feel it, it's there
Emotional conflict
Paying attention to what's recurring in you
Anything that's happened to us that was too big for us to remain conscious while we experienced it, gets trapped in our system - turned into some other emotion or it just gets stuffed and is now just there waiting for you. The universe is now asking, "can you experience this now?"
Being fine with being sad
Let everything be exactly the way it is
How dealing with life's experiences as they come transforms you
A clinched fist vs an open hand metaphor
"Let" vs "Let go"
If you can't let it go, can you let it be
Failure as part of triumph
Failing your way through something consciously can cause a sort of transformation
What it looks like to build a spiritual practice
Daily quiet meditation, Engage in some precise self-inquiry (a wonderment of "being")
How spirituality is the direct investigation of YOUR experience
The only way to get self-inquiry wrong is not to be ruthlessly honest about what's happening in your experience
The fear of getting something wrong
Think of your spiritual teacher kind of like a college professor
