The participant talked about her experience related to personal will ebbing away and some other experiences in life that might have contributed to her feeling depressed...
Adyashanti: "...you can have both of these experiences-the mind's experience-its interpretation because remember your mind is just a conditioned instrument and it's interpreting it in the way it's conditioned to, which will be a very negative way in this mindstream and in many mindstreams, probably most, but at the same time, the actual happening of the ebbing away of the personal itself is freedom, in the moment itself, it's peace, it's happiness, that's what it actually is..."

About "Beyond the Personal Will (2006)":
In this classic recording, Adyashanti discusses what happens when the motivating force of personal will starts to erode. “Realization of ‘no self’ is one thing; having personal will wither away into nothing is another.” It is only in the ebbing of this will that we come to know what the spiritual journey is about: the flowering of truth.
