Adya reveals that our innate desire to know the truth takes us beyond the personal will-it is not something we intend but rather something that arises as we engage more deeply with our spirituality. Excerpted from September 13, 2009, Palo Alto Meeting, “ The Falling Away of Personal Will”: bit.ly/3SunQWt

Quote from this Video: “If you engage in a deep form of spirituality, at some point you start to notice the diminishment of your personal will. You’re not drawn to the same things you were drawn to-your center of motivation begins to dissipate.” adyashanti.org

Noticed a few years ago that my “addictions” were disappearing. Mostly food stuff. It no longer pleased me to eat cake or ice cream or whatever it was. I no longer had the desire to drink alcohol or shop or watch tv or so many things I thought made me feel good. Now I feel in agony because I have nothing to occupy me. And I see more stuff not pleasing me every day like complaining and judging and feeling better than others. Now here I am struggling to figure out what the hell this life is supposed to be about. Neither here nor there. Very frustrating.

the will to reach Reality is never wanted by the ego- person; it would never want Reality, because it will dissapear in it. 🔥🌬🌪

Oh yes. That's exactly what pulled me, it was a YES to ultimate truth NO MATTER WHAT (it is and costs) 99% is not enough.

YES! Also, aren't you the same person who's been watching Joseph Goldstein's lectures on the Mahasatipathana Sutta?

I'm not used to living from the heart. Its confusing because I'm so used to "having a plan" so to speak. It is taking me years to get used to this new perspective

you're lucky. i'm going in the opposite direction. I've only lived from the heart so i have nothing to show for my life.

I have no choice. It has been pulling me for many years, whether I like it or not! EVERYTHING is falling away, falling apart, lately more than ever. Not always fun but oh well. I can't get off the ride now! Thank you for sharing this.

I was lead here today to this video it just appeared in my KZfaq I've done lots of spiritual seeking and currently I was asking spirit why do I have no drive to do anything why dose nothing interest me? It's like I'm observing the whole world in activity while I stand still and observe it all with no opinions or feelings about it I'm completely neutral

The diminishing of a personal will becomes easier when we surrender to the will of an other. I've come to know this "other"as the "Spirit of True Humility."

This is the first time I haven’t felt alone, growing up raised by a psychopath and a narcissist and surrounded by people living in the illusion and shadow they cast, no one understood me or my incessant need for truth. Raised Jehovahs Witness, yet I was fasting, meditating, having astral journeys to the point I was in heaven more than earth and eventually blocked so I would live and learn the lessons I came for. From that time to this I still search for the way back and was given a dream the other day to stop chasing after different lights, but I don’t know how to stop…I miss home too much🫶

I was pulled, beyond my personal will, to Brazil 13 years ago, where I am being held hostage ever since.

Loss if personal will?? So thats what its called when I everything starts falling away bit by bit and i just don't give a shit anymore??😛😄 Yet years ago i couldnt even imagine living without certain things ir plans...seemed like it would be a horrible sacrifice!! But its amazingly not cause they are of no real interest or important anymore. Really strange.🤔

The Spirit of Truth has a will of it own. Its qualities are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.. It sees the nature of the world as it truly because it understands and has compassion for itself.
