Publisher's summary

Caution Spiritual Seekers: You Might Just Find What You're Looking For!

Underneath the turmoil of thought, emotion, and personal will, there is a flow. If you're reading these words, you've probably felt it - the natural movement of life, the truth that beckons below the surface of things. What would happen if you were to stop avoiding this universal energy, and instead completely embrace it?

According to author and teacher Adyashanti, herein lies the heart of spiritual awakening - and it's likely to "end your world." Why? Because with spiritual awakening, instead of a new version of you, you find no version of you - your true nature beyond any point of view - "that which is continually partaking of all experience, in each and every instant."

Straight Talk on the Nature of Enlightenment

More and more people today have had a glimpse of this genuine kind of awakening, only to see it slip away after a few hours or days. Adyashanti calls this the "I got it/I lost it" phenomenon that perplexes so many of his students. For those caught between what he calls "non-abiding" awakening and the ultimate state of "abiding" enlightenment, Adyashanti offers The End of Your World - his first in-depth audio course about the remarkable yet enigmatic process of spiritual awakening.With straight talk and penetrating insight, Adyashanti helps you navigate the pitfalls and cul-de-sacs that "un-enlighten" us along the journey, including: the trap of meaninglessness; how the ego can "co-opt" realization for its own purposes; the illusion of superiority that may accompany intense spiritual breakthroughs; and the danger of becoming "drunk on emptiness."Inquiring Sincerely into Every Aspect of Your Life

"Full awakening comes when you sincerely look at yourself, deeper than you've imagined, and question everything," teaches Adyashanti. With 12 bold sessions about topics ordinarily kept private between student and teacher, The End of Your World is your invitation to join Adyashanti for an honest investigation of what you really are - and how to live when you discover it.

Required listening for anyone into this stuff

Listened to this incredible audiobook a few times, and still discovering new insights every time. I went on to buy a few more of Adyashanti's audiobooks and they're just as amazing. This guy is a gift to the world.

INSIGHTFUL

This audio book is more like a conversation with a very masterful insightful person. The enlightened state of the Adyashanti is soothing, unjudgemental, and overall a comprehensive review of the nature surrounding enlightenment. Its as if someone just reopened your chance to tilt toward a state of harmony admits living life, which is not easy for the majority. Entering the state of awareness with Adyashanti helps us realize that this is a place we can choose to occupy at free will. The various aspects of ego are discussed very intimately in ways that is hardly ever understood but the simple and compassionate ways Adya is able to communicate helps people to connect with the many egos ones minds conjures and the almost inescapable nature of ego. A certain type of acceptance of the ego is possibly the path to a less ego centric existence.

Clear Concise Message

My first awakening happened several years ago. The voice in my head disappeared for days and then returned. When it returned I was different but also depressed as I thought I failed. Adyashanti is the first teacher to explain clearly the process enlightenment or awakening takes place. 🙏

Rings True

This is better than reading the book. The book must have been a transcription of these talks. Very naturally spoken, like he's talking to you. For me, this work is very comforting as I work my way through, or try to navigate the world, post-awakening. Nice to have someone who has travelled the road send back the directions (or his description of his journey and how he perceived the path). In the end, it's all obvious and true.

Wow.

For anyone who has had or is having awakening experiences, this is the ultimate guide. Uncensored speech about some of the most intimate spiritual experiences. The last chapter just is unbelievable. Adya is great.

very helpful in recognizing signs along the way

to no one and nowhere. Adya is clear as a teacher can be. always pointing out that home is where you've always been. peace

The first time i listened to it

I thought Adya was speaking his own story. Months later, after having great moments of enlightenment I listened again and he was speaking my story too.

Impactful, wise, practical

Lots of really really great stuff in here. So much practical advice. He really makes you feel like having seen the light is more normal than not having seen it. He helps you learn how to make a home in this new world and let’s you know that you’re not alone, far from it. I imagine I will be returning to his voice many times again in the future.

Illuminating

For those who struggle with the paradoxical nature of self-realization.

Few teachers speak with such profound humility and directness on this cryptic subject. Most of the time philosophy is offered, or knowledge that is twisted in order to fit assumptions about the student. Here Adyeshanti offers a perspective that is profoundly simple and relatable, taking the mind out of the metaphysical whirlpools and straight into your being, where the truth really dwells.

Was a huge help for me in the process and will be for anyone else who is experiencing the end of their very own world. Cheers

I have been looking for this book for a long time.

So much confusion has dissipated. I am finally able to reconcile my past experiences and start over looking for more . . .I wish I found t
his book many years ago.
