"True individuality has nothing whatsoever to do with separation..."
"Buddha wasn't a Buddhist; and Jesus was not a Christian. So this is the challenge, this is the instinct that's a part of everyone-this Instinct...'Why can't I just be myself freely, easily, smoothly, unselfconsciously, unapologetically? Why this endless desire to conform, to fit in, to be like?' Have you ever wondered any of this? The task of spirituality in large part is actually to jettison from your system, from your mind and from your body this immensity of conditioned knowledge of humanity, because until that happens, there's no way we'll actually really recognize our true self, our true being..."
“Being driven by mere impulse is not freedom-it's misery.”
~ Adyashanti

About the talk:
Awakening is not just about finding unity in all of existence, but also embracing the unique way that unity expresses itself through you. In this highly regarded retreat talk, Adyashanti explores what it means to be a "divine individual" and discovering our uniqueness that is not separate from life. He reveals how awakening all the way involves being fully at home with our aloneness and moving freely from our complete divinity.
Topics Include:
Individuality vs. Rebellion
Being True to One’s Path
Finding Freedom within Form
Individuality without Constraint
Freeing Conditioning
Deeply Embracing Aloneness
Letting Go of "Should"
Unabashedly Being Yourself
