Greetings!
I recently received a book from my favourite meditation teacher Adyashanti. The writings were so insightful I could not put the book down until it was finished and now I can't wait to pick it up again.
Here is just one of his many quotable sections from the book:
"Being is that which disturbs our insistence on remaining in the life-numbing realm of our secret desperation. It is the itch that cannot be scratched, the whisper that will not be denied. To be, to truly be, is not a given.
Most of us live in a state where our being has long ago been exiled to the shadow realm of our silent anguish. At times being will break through the fabric of our consciousness to remind us that we are not living the life we could be living, the life that truly matters. At other times being will recede into the background silently waiting for our devoted attention. But make no mistake: being - your being - is the central issue of life.
To remain unconscious of being is to be trapped within an ego-driven wasteland of conflict, strife, and fear that not only seems customary because we have been brainwashed into a state of suspended disbelief where a shocking amount of hate, dishonesty, ignorance, and greed are viewed as normal and sane. But they are not sane, not even close to being sane. In fact, nothing could be less sane and unreal than what we human beings call reality."
Here is a short talk by Adyashanti for those of you who want to understand more.
