It’s funny how many of us turn enlightenment into some accomplishment to achieve, like earning a million dollars. “Just tell me what to do, what formula I need to apply in life, and then I’ll get to experience myself being enlightened!”
Yet it turns out that the very search for enlightenment is precisely what keeps us from realizing that we are already exactly what we are looking for.
The “task,” if you will, is not to go search for some goal “out there,” but to simply look within and realize our True Nature, of who you actually are.
The mind will never give us the right answer. It’s designed to literally “make up” answers through the power of our wonderful imaginations. It will make up a story that says we’re NOT enlightened and thus we must do something or go somewhere to find enlightenment.
What we are looking for is located somewhere beyond the imaginative mind, in the most obvious place possible: YOU ARE WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR!
I just finished listening to an audio program by Adyashanti entitled The End of Your World. It couldn’t have come at a more perfect time.
If you have experienced a temporary awakening to your True nature and had an actual glimpse of Oneness as the ultimate reality, this is a very helpful program to listen to.
What I found for myself through this program was that it cleared up many confusing experiences I’ve been having, answered many questions, and showed me that everything that is being experienced is going perfectly according to plan. There’s nothing wrong with anything happening in my life.
One of the main things I realized from his explanations was that despite the fact that we tend to think there is this magical experience called “Enlightenment” where we finally hit it and we’re set for life, just coasting in this stage of awesomeness.
I’ve had one or two glimpses up to this point, before listening to the program, of experiencing the Divine as the One and the All. The “problem” was first that it feels like something wrong happened causing me to reidentify with the ego and almost “falling out” of enlightenment.
Second, there’s this certain level of confusion because on one level you know, you KNOW, that everything the mind is telling you is completely bogus. It’s literally 0% True. Nevertheless, you buy into the thoughts anyways. It’s somewhat of a disconcerting feeling.
He describes awakening as a maturation process and gives a metaphor of a rocket ship. When someone first experiences awakening, very often there’s a sense of lifting off the ground, so to speak, rocketing up into the heavens, and almost running out of fuel and crashing back to the ground.
The temporary awakening may be for just a moment, a few days, or even a matter of months. The rocket has not yet gone beyond the earth’s gravitational pull to where it can simply coast on to freedom.
What this product discusses:
The experience of awakening and then losing the experience
The experiences beyond awakening
The maturation process of awakening itself
How thoughts can ‘velcro’ a sense of identification onto you and pull you back
What awakening reveals
What enlightenment is, and what it isn’t, beyond all the glamour and hype
Traps that one can get caught in even after awakening (This information is VERY valuable)
What is necessary to fully awaken
Abiding in an undivided state of consciousness
Inhabiting the world of form without identification
The proper way to perform spiritual inquiry
Much much more!
This program is geared towards people who have already experienced a temporary awakening, yet it would be valuable for anyone looking for enlightenment.
Why? This program will help you understand more accurately what you’re getting into, realize certain expectations you may have about enlightenment that are distortions from it’s actually about, and prepare you for what is to come without getting unconsciously ensnared by some of the ego’s most subtle tricks.

Many people who are seeking Truth, be they scientists, spiritual seekers, or religious practitioners, are looking to find how they fit into the world and what their purpose is.
At the core of this search one finds the question “Who Am I?”
Once you figure out who you are, then you know how you fit into the puzzle of life and what your role in it is. So… who are you?
Can you ever actually see yourself?
Can you look outside of yourself to see yourself?
